reading the thread almost everyone thats sharing got it from monarch and hopefully got the deal... unless they bought it a ahile ago and just didnt OC it til now... for shame! Yeah my results are a chip I got monday afternoon.
This guys has nearly the same as me (2.7@1.57v)
"i got this:
CABGE 0526 APAW
the $260 MC deal
max out at 2.75ghz at 1.62v"
It looks like I can go higher with more v too, so it looks like if you were a betting man between 2.7 and 2.8 should come between 1.55v and 1.65v. :D
Thanx, i'll wait for it. :toast:Quote:

it looks like there will be alot of different week/steppings come out of that sale. mine was in a retail plastic box with a bar code lable on it saying if removed no warranty. i've gotten both retail and oem many times but never a "oem" in a retail box. i'm happy with it and will sell my other cpus and buy a x2 3800.Quote:

is there any way to tell if a cpu is retail or oem?
I also got a week 26. From the intial results seen on this thread I'm not thinking I'll be able to get much out of it. I was hoping for at least 2750 on stock or close to stock volts. Oh well - I'll test it next week ...
2500 @ stock 1.4vcore (undervolts to 1.36v). I bumped to 1.39v and am testing more now.
First 30 minutes results
Short answer- Probably an average to slightly above average San Diego.
Long answer- Better than my 2 "weaker" venices (week 16 and 24, 3000+) but not as good as my 2 "stronger" venices (week 15 and 20, 3200+). Runs as cool if not a little cooler than the coolest venice I've used (that's probably the week 15... with xp-120, alumina, and a 60cfm fan in a 88*F room, DFI board reads 38*C @ prime Small fft load @ 2672 1.52vcore). I guess this will Probably wind up being either a 2800mhz on xp-120/60cfm chip or fall just a bit short (2766-2775).
EDIT: went from 1.52v to 1.66v and temps went up ONE degree. With venice temps went up 5-10 degrees with the same jump. (~1.6v+ was where voltage REALLY started heating my venices up.) I'd assume the larger die area of a san diego accounts for the ability to diffuse the increased heat so much better... but that's really just a guess. Either way, it looks like I got a very very well attached heatspreader with this one.
New post for big development.
Priming @ 2800mhz 1.65vcore (same as my 3200+ week 15) now. About 25 minutes in so far. I've found if you make it to 30 minutes, usually 1 hr, 3 hr and 8 hr are the only places you need to worry about (though once or twice I've seen 12 hr and 18hr errors). I suspect I'll need a bump to 1.675v to completely stabalize it @ 2800mhz, but that should be no problem at all. Temps are 45-47*C @ small fft Prime load where I am now.

I don't usually do this, but I figured what the hell. Set voltage to ~1.8vcore and booted into windows, Set myself to 3ghz and took a screenshot. This is on a damaged (several bent fins due to a dothan mod) xp-120 with a Panaflo L1A 120mm (62cfm I think).

yeah, 1.8 is too much, but after a good burn in and an upgrade in cooling, i am sure you can do about 2.9 at 1.7v. Not too bad.
