Thats a real gem you have there in your sig iboomalot :clap:

Has anyone else had any of these "fading" problems with their x2's?? I dont know what the hell is up with my combo but i;m getting come crazy inconsitant results. Some times i can get it up to 2740+, prime stable for atleast 5 hrs, then sometimes, like today, i can't got past 2540 without prime failing, and the more voltage i give it, the sooner it fails. But, yesterday it did 2706 @ 1.5 v for a good while except i'm gettimg temps of 50-52 load with water. I'm thinking my board is reading high because when i put my hand on the water block, that thing is BARELY even warm. I just made a nice water block too that has a BUNCH of surface area right ontop of the die and the water inlet about 1/4" up from the die so i know its getting water flow. I think i'm rambling now...

I clocked mine as high as it would go on lower vcore and now mine stabkles out at 1.35 2500
I can run prime for years on end 1.3v 2.4ghz thats how I got mine to 2.5ish

I notice mine seems very sensitive to temps -- beyond the high 40's C it fails prime overclocked -- keep it there and it goes higher -- this is at 1.31 VCore.

Has anyone here gone topless yet to see how much it cools temps?
Im seriously thinking of volt modding this motherboard if the next bios update doesnt give vcore mods..

And If I do that I might as well take off the IHS also

Got an 4400+ today , stepping : 0526 MPM batch 0058 .. anyone seen this 3 letter stepping before ?

Yes, all the MPM's I've had were great clockers -- I think they were remarked higher rated CPU's. I would like to hear your results! :)

What voltage and temps were you at when you killed it?

Thanks

So far prime stable at 2650Mhz with 1.52v

Still testing !

Did you do the paper test? as in try to slide a piece of paper between the base of the socket and the cooling block.
It could be that your water block is lifted slightly by the thick top part of the socket.

.

two winchesters that I had with MPM steppings also clocked very well. :D

I had a CBBHD 0449 MPM Winchester that ran cool at 2.6 GHz and stock volts

HOLY crap that was it!!! I shaved my block down a little and my temps dropped from 45 idle to 35 idle!!! and now i'm getting 2700 @ 1.52 but 53*... so maybe there's a little more i can take off.. we'll see but its prime stable so far!!! HELL YEAH!!!

Great to hear :) good luck!!!
10-26-2005, 06:30 PM

i think 2710 is the limit @ 53* and 1.52v. 2750 failed, then 2730 failed. I'll have to grind some more off the block and we'll see!!!

How's this for a start..
X2 3800+ Toledo @ 2.4 ghz 1.31V (undervolted..?)

Scythe Ninja heatsink with no 120mm fan attached, load temps aren't that bad considering theres no fan on it :)

I have a Opteron coming soon so I will be selling this CPU.

Should I throw it to the garbage?

My X2 3800 CCBWE 0535 TPMW, Batch number 0233 MaxTCase 61C.

Max overclock at stock volts: 2350 (prime stable)
Max overclock so far: ~2640@1.675v defined on bios, reads 1.63v (prime stable) 2690 SP32M stable.

What do you think about this? Complete garbage or just average?
10-29-2005, 12:45 PM
bullet2urbrain

ehh i would say below average... 1.6 volts should be getting you 2.7+

I think that with that Vcore ,you should have more oc,and it´s a little bit dangerous too.
AMRGB acho esse v core em demasia,olha o meu X2 está no estaleiro,merreu mesmo.

Problem is core 0. Core 1 is at least 180Mhz better. It primes at 2800 but above that windows will crash because of the other core. The screen becomes full of artifacts.

Is this a case for ihs removal?
10-29-2005, 01:15 PM
don_vercetti

sounds like possibly un-even application of the IHS, if the core is THAT much better. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but IHS removal is certainly worth a try, if the difference is that big.

Is THAT big. Actually, I don't know exactly the size of the difference because windows crashes due to the bad core before prime fails on the good one.

I've checked the load temps of only one core, and they are the same for both core 0 or core 1. But I guess that if one core is running hotter than the other the thermal diode wouldn's show the difference.

don_vercetti

it wouldn't show the difference, no. What temps is it at?
