Thats gonna be a tall order since I have only seen one that will do 3ghz on water. I can get to 2970 on water but not 100 stable. 3dmark and what not but it wont prime or SuperPI.Quote:

it's coming soon.. so will be able to choose later on
Week 15 seems to be a great week. I've tried two other weeks (one earlier & one later) that didn't even compare.
thnx for the info BMORIN.. i'll be keeping an eye for it :)
but at least i have to get PMW or PAW.. i think they are the best in the batch
Anyone with this SD stepping.....Never saw any that start with a Letter on serial#......

anyone knows whether this stepping is good or not ? cabge 0516 tpaw.. thx :)
Hi everyone, I would like to start an experiment and need everyone who has a sandeigo's help, with the recent discussion in this thread of sandiego core temps jumping, it would be good if we found out what the heck was going on with these cores. We need to know if A: they are just like that, reguardless of heat spreader, or B: it's proportionally due to the heat spreader. Mainly, this is what I need from you all.
1. Using any form of temp monitoring, ie : smart guardian, temp prob etc. Simply run the 1 minute bench of super pi, make sure u can see the temp go up and down, record your start temp, then record your highest temp during the bench.
2. State whether u have a heat spreader or not.
Your form of cooling does not matter, as the point of this is to see how much the heat spreader makes temps go up while doing somthing fairly intensive, and to see the temp spikes. This will help us understand this core better, and enrichen this thread :) It's not called the officail discussion thread for nothing :P
You merely need to post your results in this thread, name your post , TEMP FOR SANDEIGO, and I will record everyone's temp in this post below.
RESULTS :
SPREADER--------------------------------------------------NON-SPREADER

That is a 0516 TPAW (watercooled)
And i'm running now 24/7 2850mhz 1,45v on boxed air because i'm waiting for some seal string to put my 3700 under my recently bought mach II @r507 :banana:
nice one el snorro.. looks like some good stuff.. :D i'll try my luck with these if i can get them
yay getting a CABGE 0516 TPAW hehehe
wish me luck :D
Hm, I was just sharing my experience. If you have been more lucky, it's your luck, but don't call misfortune of others to be "bull****" as with all my knowledge in English, this word clearly doesn't belong there in this case.Quote:

On dry ice, my particular one maxed out at 3130. Hardly to call it a great overclocker if another of my friends has got a 0515VPMW to 3 Ghz on air :rolleyes:
Now of course, giving my luck of buying cpu's, I guess, a 0515SPMW or like that would happen to be the worst in whole batch for me as well ;) But I think you got the point.
lol mrlobber.. don't put ur hopes too low.. ur next one will be a bomb :D
anyway anyone know whether the serial affects overclock like what steven say aobut the venices?
wow nice speed u got there el snorro :)
btw i guess even with same stepping, it doesnt mean that chip can achieves exactly like the other chip does..
heh u telling who?
if me i know man hehe.. 3 0517 DPMW and only 2 passed 2.9 and only one did 3ghz stable.. the other one about 2.8+ghz
i've seen a few of el snorro's and they were hitting some good speeds.. so it won't kill to hope for the best right? :)
Oh well heres the result....Quote:

I'm inclined to think it is coming from where Smartguardian is reading the voltage from. Doing a 1m Pi the temp goes instantly from 27 to 38 degrees and stays there solid until it is finished, then instantly returns to 27. When I used cold water it would increase 10 to 11 degrees as well, from 11 or 12 to 22 to 23 during a task then return immediatly after completion. That was even during a 16m it was the same.
no its just the cpu puts out close to 200watts of heat and possibly more the heat will go instantly that much higher because the thermal properties of the die, the heatspreader, the TIM, and then your hsf/waterblock....when im running my mobo in a chill box at -15c on a stock hsf, my SD 3700 doesnt just that quickly do to the surrounding air temp. remove the HS if you have a copper hsf/waterblock and it will still jump but what it jumps too wount be as much. you will see a jump on anything from stock hsf to ln2 when a proc puts out that much heat and especially when it still has a HS on...the HSs are junk....Quote:

Plastic gooey shin etsu, same stuff amd has been coating stock HS's with for yrs, NOT good, 1 layer of plastic + 1 layer of copper + 1 more layer of plastic (for those who are too afraid to use anything else) + a stock HS = crap for temps. I imagine I would have been at about 45c idle if I did have that 2nd layer of junk. So glad I took it off. The core is small, heh. fyi, I had to sand down my dfi HS bracket all the way except for 1/10 of a centimeter. I ran a 8 min super pi just to see how high the temps would spike, they didn't go past 42c. 10c must be pretty consistent for a temp spike seeing as how everyone else is getting about a 10c spike, 3 gigs, here I come, heh.
I am so tempted to remove the HS. Warranty scares me a bit tho. 10c drop or even a 5c drop would help me a lot. I idle at 28c now with wc but my temp is 10c colder then that so Maybe I can get 24c 23c idle. More i think bout it the less likely it would help me much.

but it will help mate regardless of temps. a mate of mine did it on a good water setup.even though his max load temp was 40C with max overclock of 2.9GHz @ 1.55V when he raised to 1.6V (43C load)he still couldnt get anything above 2.9GHz stable.
after removing the HS he can get 2.93GHz stable at 1.55V and loads at 39C.regardless of temps it seems to raise max overclocks 100-300MHz from the results ive seen or read about.
How hard is it to remove the IHS? I could diffinitely use it since Florida temps suck and my rooms ac sucks too, idle around 40-42 with my 3700+ sd @ 2.7Ghz on 1.55 Vcore
Just bought last night on ebay CABGE 0518 UPCW - that's a 3700+ of course - anyone seen it before ?
takes 5 mins. 5 careful careful mins, heh, sanding down the stock dfi HS bracket took longer, make sure u don't go into the chip deeper than 1/2 centimeter. you'll hit a chip, poof, no chip. mark it on your blade so you know to never go past that point, don't slip, and your good to go. Start with the corners, it's easierQuote:
