my winnie did 2.6 on air and now its doing 2.6 on my water cooling, but i have the feeling im reaching the limit. is there a good chance i will see a real improvement going to a venice? like im talking about a 80-90% chance i'll hit 2.8-2.9 on water
Bad luck that your winny hit a limit there, doesn't scale well with voltage i suppose.
With venice it's hit or miss these days, if you order online chances are you'll end up with a crappy week 22 or something and be stuck at 2.5 Ghz. If you can manage to find the golden week 17, i'd say 2.9 Ghz on water... most of the time. I can almost do 2.9 on air but i'm completely temperature bound. my chip loves volts.
can't you just combine the 12volts rails, I know one of ocz's psus has a switch to do this, wonder if a simple mod would work. like shorting 2 of the 12volt lines.
i'm no PSU expert but i dont think you can just combine dual 12s into one big rail lol.
It would be pretty sick if i could instantly change my dual 18s into a single 36 though...
I think so, since it's just amperage, this way they could just share the load.
I know that if you take to 12volt batteries with 1 amp each and hook them up in perapell you get the same volt with double the amperage, that or seriers... lol its late and i've had a few beers.
luckly i found today Distrubuters for Ocz stuff here.. :banana:
they got Ocz Power Stream 520W for 135$. is this a good deal? and can i make soo sure about getting more than 2.65Ghz without any hangs?? i mean ,, i don have 26A PSU here..
one more thing.. ive done some Testings about my 12+v Rail.
Test 1 - pluged everything on ..then i got 11.65v idle and 11.55v load
Test 2 - removed everything that is connected to 12+v rail exept for cpu fan vga, hdd. .. i got 12.08v idle and 12.02v load..
but still i can exeed 2.65ghz without hangs :(
also to make sure about the my Twinmos Twister ram ...they are matched up, i used it in my old P4 2.4c ,,it was oc'ed to 3.337Ghz without any problems.
Ugh, my comp isn't stable 24/7 like this. I think it's the heat in the mornings that :banana::banana::banana::banana: it up.
A few times a week, when I wake up, I get greeted by a "No signal detected" screen.
Since the sun is heating this room up to 30-33 degrees before I wake up I'm pretty sure that is my problem, since it's ALWAYS stable daytime.
I wrote a small program that writes to a logfile every 5 minutes, and it seems to freeze between 05:30 - 07:00 every time.
Btw my CPU is LBBLE 0519 8PBW..any ideas bout this?
is it actually 8PBW? That's unheard of to me, i would expect BPBW or something but an 8? Strange. Tell us how she clocks
well ..from 2.2 to 2.5 is on Default then 2.5~2.65 is on 1.43. well i can tell when it will hit the max until i get OCZ Power Stream 520W in the of the next weekend.
cant hardly wait .. :devil:
Anyone tried a week 18 CPAW? Saw one at a local store. I like the *PAW part but a little scared about the week 18.
Also, has anybody found that the lot #'s actually make a difference?
Incase anyone in interested in a what might be good 3000+ its a ADA3000AA4BP
LBBLE 0515FPMW
some dude on these fourms had the same stepping at 2.8ghz with 1.6vcore, anyways heres the link i found it on ebay and asked for the stepping and week info.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:L:RTQ:US:1
cold bug on venice, whats the verdict? Rare? Common? Iffy?
Some are ok for single stage.
Just got my rig put together and I got a crappy chip. Is it safe to put 1.7 to it 24/7 on water cooling. I'll change the sig soon.
So does anyone feel that they've gotten better cpus by picking ones with low lot numbers?
From my reading, lower batch #s did seem slightly better on average, but my personal experience is contrary to this. I have an 0517APJW that does 2.8 Ghz with 1.52 volts, batch 1127, and an 0517APJW that barely does over 2.5 Ghz with 1.52 volts, batch 534. I think the 2nd CPU was a real outlier though... pretty bad for a week 17.
Ok I'm at 2.7 @ 1.7v 45c @ load. How is this for 24/7
here is my 0517DPMW on stock voltage, it was stable OCCT at 2700MHz at 1.34V, i just tested two sp2004 at the same time:
one with small fft and one with large fft:

now i'll test at 1.34V primestable :banana:
EDIT: sp2004 do not pass at 1.34V
Thanks Absolute. I remember reading in this thread ( I think) when you picked up those cpus. I was wondering with two otherwise identical cpus if the one with the lower # would do better.Quote:

The other APJW is stuck at my friend's house (that's where i build my PCs, i got a shop set up in his garage :toast: ). He went on vacation w/out telling me in advance so now it's locked up. Bad contact is a possibility, i thought it was really strange to have same week and stepping and for one to be such a dud. I'm sending it over to MaxxxRacer as soon as i can ge to it though. I have faith that he will push as much out of it as possible :).
I just got this at Ewiz (check out the Deals section for details) and it looks like they have very new weeks. Anyone care to make a prediction?

A quick Google and I see most of the hits for YBBLE are week 23 (no week 24) and are in the Europeon market. Saw one screenshot at 2.7ghz 32M SuperPi stable on air. XS member Fast had a screenshot (suicide?) at 3.3ghz on extreme cooling. Can't play with mine until Saturday. I'll post in the official forum with air results.
