To be honest I am a little clueless when it comes to ID'ing chips and what the codes mean. I picked up two of these exact same codes on ebay both OEM, so they didnt come with a retail box...the first one I've tested and not lapped yet:

The 32m was done around 1.84v/-107c :D on my evo unit. Other benches 1.87v/-115c. Chip can go to about -134c before I encountered freezes in windows, but that is idle and with under 1.89vcore.
Keep in mind, just doing p5b pi stuff with high mem mhz and not pushing the chip too hard. To really see what the chip can do, best to put it on p5w64 with ovp mod and slack up the mem and strap.

Awesome.... with a ddr maxi, some nice clocking mems, and a 965 mobo you can't go wrong with this combo.

hehe, looks like a gem buddy! :)

L624A hum interesting.

I've already tested a L623A, cold-bug free down to -158C pot temp but limited to 5232MHz@1.81V DMM suicide on P5B; and a L628A cold-bugged at -132C pot temp which got no real benefit from 2-stages cascade to LN² (~ 5.06GHz).

Anyway, what's the ovp mod you are talking about?

My L623A screams on air and single stage, but I don't like the sound of that 1.8v cap. :( What's the rest of the code Xavier? Mine's L623A465.

9.3s at 5330 Mhz is just nuts. :eek:

Full code is L623A694; what about yours?

Mine doesn't like volts at all... 1.81V is the very max under LN². :( Might be a reason for not climbing above 5.2GHz.

I've found just few minutes ago a L624A610 for sale... Similar to OC_Windforce's 5.4GHz chip, and not so far from Vince's actual one.

I'm dreaming at it too... New solid copper container on Tuesday, 3-stages cascade at the same time or little bit later... need the right chip now! :D

Time has come for serious action!!

So installing OS with an overclocked system will lower the PI time? :eek: 9.3sec 1M @ ~5330MHz is pretty good :D

Well, maybe one or two bumps over that for 9.39 ;)...but I am working on it.
1.8v cap is no good at all.

Humm I don't see a piece of a reason for that to happen... really. Speed of app has nothing to do with installation of windows... :)

An Barton installed windows is definitely not slower than a 5.6GHz C2D installed windows.

I posted the results on OCX a while a go (before their server went down). I actually got a nice boost when installing at 3000MHz instead of 1800MHz (3000+).

I haven't got an explanation though :(

Guess the explanation might be somewhere else buddy.

Anyway, may be I'm not catching that clearly, but really, it seems me not possible.

Nope, same testing conditions every installation, the setup didn't change at all.

Got some pointers from k|ngp|n, but I'm still lacking clock to clock performance.

Does this "tweak" (installing OS on OCed system) affect other benchies aswell?

I have only tested with superpi 1m/32m

If that is true it blows my mind,.. and just blows.
@crotale, that is a killer time, just awesome. I was up very late last night trying to get 3221. Very nice. Also, that "F" cpu, any word on those as to be any better generally. We have a store here with those but don't know anything about them. L634F's

I'm still behind clock2clock, I can't tighten up the memories much more at this speed, they're on the very limit.

So far, it's not an excellent chip... 3.6GHz is about max at room temp with a good cooler. This is a 1.325 VID chip, I've heard lower VIDs are better clockers.

I know what you mean :) Hunting a 13.xxx time now... cutting seconds after second from 14.100, but I think I need to step up over 3.4GHz to make it.

massman please post a thread explaining exactly what you did

i will test that against your claims with a nlite-d XP and installation at 3.8GHz to see if it makes a difference

^If I remember his thread right, he tested Super Pi on two seperate installs, with the same settings except one install was done at 2000mhz and another at 2800mhz. The 2800mhz was faster in both 1m and 32m. OPB has also been using this tweak for quite a while, and installs windows at over 5300mhz IIRC.

there has to be an explanation for this

how the hell do you keep the CPU cool enough at 5300MHz to install OS unless he's got a slipstream one....

i just built one on saturday too so will see how that goes.....all 120MB in size with lots of tweaks :D

Helps loading times too but if you blink whilst installing then you've missed it :banana:

Guys I :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing did it! I think new overall WR in superpi 32m at only 5261mhz :D. I am posting this here because I want to share it with my low clock challenge homies :toast: . Without the help of some of you guys, I could have never have done this...really. Give credit where credit is due. I appreciate it very, very much. Before, dinos, gautum, and others I pm'd. I busted my ass for almost two weeks on this score and it paid off like hard work always does.

:slobber: :cheer:

You're a monster bro, everything about that score is just plain jaw-dropping.

205MHz lower than second place...sheesh...

Strongest sign yet that its time to hit "checkout" at the egg. ;)
