CPU never gets above 40C. I lowered my HTT, relaxed the memory timings, tried various combinations of memory dividers, cpu multipliers, fsb, etc. I've tried running 1.45v * 113% which gives me about 1.6v in windows, BUT, when measure it from the surface mount capacitors near the CPU socket it shows 1.655v idle, 1.67v load! That voltage at 2.8GHz was completely unstable as well, failed prime95 instantly. Is there something I am missing? Any suggestions? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Update:

Well, apparently it is my trashy KAB2E. A friend of mine got the EXACT same setup as me, I took pictures of my bios settings and he's using those. Turns out his KAB2E (same stepping, date code, everything) is doing 2.85GHz in a high ambient with the stock HSF where mine only does 2.7GHz with a low ambient on liquid. Do I take the record as having the worse KAB2E so far?? :P

Made a mistake with the 2 cpuz windows, the lowest one should be 'memory' tab...
1,47v 3+ghz :)
boxed cooled haha

Nice Snorro, that is running really well. Is that one you recently got? New? From?

System: (siehe sig)
- Mobo = DFI nf4 SLI-DR
- LuKü = Thermaltake Big Typhoon @ 700-900rpm !!!

CPU:
- AMD 3700+ San Diego
- Stepping: 0548BPMW
- CPU with HS
- Temperatures default 36 - load 44c


@ 12h Prime95 Stable 2915Mhz @ 1,37v

@ Super PI Mod 1.4 32M Stable - 2915Mhz @ 1,37v (dont look at the super pi time, i have work on my pc. Only Stable bench!!!

@ 3135Mhz @ 1,50v
- prime come later...

Since this is the San Diego thread maybe someone has any information about this stepping:
KAB3E 0548BPMW

A search turned up nothing so therefore I ask... Any input appreciated. :)

hi,

i have a 3700+ SD:
ADA3700DAASBN
KAB2E 0538APAW

that does 2850 aircooled primestable

anyone else have a similar stepping ? should I be able to get this much higher? Load temps @ around 41, idle around 31; vcore at about 1.6

will show pics this weekend ...

oh yeah: merry x-mas and a happy newyear !:bday2: :toast2: :toast:

just got the same one as you testing it now.

exciting :-) any news yet ? i still hoover around 2830 - 2850, not sure if i should up the voltage even more (now @ aircooling with xp120) to go higher...

Nice, finally a few people with the same stepping, got the 0538 APAW as well and testing it right now :)

It is second hand, the guy i bought it from got it directly from amd :) :cool:

Hello, my FX 57 is a :

AMD Athlon 64 FX
ADAFX57DAA5BN
CABCE 0516WPMW
1241732E50xxx

How far goes my CABCE 0516 WPMW core 732 ?

:banana:

Well I got my San Deigo back in and going to see what I can do with it again. Maybe I will go for some high FSB speeds and max out my RAM first. I was getting DDR600 with my OCZ Plat Rev. 2 right before I took it out last time. But I do need some help tweaking these SD Cores for high clock stability.

Does anyone know this Stepping by chance or seen it?

[CABGE 0518UPCW]

I'm getting a new SD this week. Are all SD's KAB3E/KAB2E? They are heavily cold bugged.

Her is my Old 0508EPMW Batch 2 !! Cooled with Water no IHS !!

hello all!!
I've got a 3700+San Diego CABHE 0525UPMW cooled with XP90 + Papst.
here you have my screens:
this is my 24/7 configuration:

And this is tha max MHz I got with 1,5v (this is my first oced processor and i'm a litle scared to give him more volts):

What do you think about this chip??

PD: sorry for my bad english :confused:

I have KAB2E 0538BPCW that I got back in November. They most i can get out of it is 2.7Ghz. Max HTT is 305. No matter what I do, it wont go higher. Already tried 2 different motherboards. Gonna try to sell it and get something new.
