260x10 so far here. 1.58v is showing in Corecenter.

What should I use to HTT/FSB change in windows? MSI NEO2 Corecenter only goes to 250. This is my first setup that will go above 250 with good memory performance so I never knew Corecenter stopped at 250. :p:

hitting 2.8 is no problem... it's just a matter of getting it stable :(

Will do 2500 (10x250) stock volts, however can't even prime 1M above 2600 regardless of volts (tried up to 1.85). I'm on water, btw.

Hopefully I just got a poor clocker.

Mine sounds like yours... I got my xp-120 in and was getting great temps but I can't pass 2600 Prime stable. I can get to 2700+ SuperPi stable though... oh well. Luck of the draw, and I always seem to have bad luck... first a Winchester that could only do 2350 and now this! :(

Oh well...

Edit: Tried all voltages from 1.5 to 1.75 and it is totally unstable much past 2600. Sucks to be me.

TEH NewEGG rocks! :ROTF:

Can you post exact Stepping? I just got a CaaZC 0502CPMW, want to know if I should Ebay it and order a 2 from ZZF? I knew I'd get the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty one, just knew it

is your 2.7 on stock air or like an XP120. Think ill do any better than 2.65 -2.75 on one of the caa2c's versus the Z's.

Anyone know why some have Z and some have 2 and what they stand for?

yeah the one i got from chiefvalue (aka newegg) i'm returning cuz it wouldn't do more than 2.6 prime... 2.7 benchable... 2.8 locked up...

stupid 15% restocking fee!!!
03-17-2005, 04:40 PM
Magnj

ugh I have the worst darn luck. Maybe I'll Pick up an XP120 and a panflow, it'll be about the same price as a restocking fee and then i'll just sell off this in mid-summer when the new cores come out. Thanks for the input guys. Think I have the right idea?

Shim, tell me thats not under your prommie?

So, you guys want to return to your CPUs because they failed to meet your expectations as far as overclockability? Would it not be more ethical for you to sell your CPUs instead of returning them to the retailer?

rma it or something, then they'll test it, find out it's fine, put it back on the shelf and send you a new one.
03-17-2005, 04:53 PM
Magnj

well i have not opened it. Im making a judgement on other users feedback. I don't think you can return somehting after you open it. Most people won't buy this to overclock it so i don't think its unethical at all.
But yea I guess I'll get an XP-90 and a ncie fan and hope for the best unntill venice

Agreed! Returning, and paying the restock isn't too bad, so it goes to the refurb bin. That is, if it is part of their policy to allow that. Rma'ing on the other hand is just messed up.

You guys have absolutely no reason to RMA a CPU that doesn't clock to your standard. If it performs at the manufacturer's rated speed, then the CPU is doing its job.

Newegg does allow for returns if you are not happy with the product, though. Personally, I'd rather sell it then lose out on the 15% stocking fee + the hassle of shipping it back to them.

AGREED!!!
Returning un-opened is no problem, RMA because it doesnt clock like you expected is wrong.

It's the game you play when you overclock. It's exactly like Conrad's sig says! When I go to a casino and gamble, I hope that I come out with a million bucks. In reality, I know the only winner is the house (AMD), I can stack the odds in my favor (water cooling and/or phase) but in the end it's all luck of the draw how well I do. There's a little skill involved, but that doesn't account for the bulk of it. I'd say that if you can get to 2.6, that's not bad. I'm upset simply b/c this is the second CPU I've bought in recent days that has not lived up to my hopes.

It's all a gamble, you can keep spending money hoping you get the big score like everyone else... but if you keep losing, you gotta know when to cash in your chips and go home.

XP-90 here......................and there is no way of knowing how ANY of these are gonna clock until it's actually performed.................the architecture has changed over the years.................but the overclockability principle remains the same. ;)...............oh yea......HOW to overclock is a bonus. :D

Just crack the mutha open and pour the HTT to it! :ROTF:

I'm returning and paying a restocking fee... i'm not telling them something was wrong with my cpu and having them send me another... so it's my loss not neweggs...
