57?? I would FREAK if my temps ever went over 50! I have pretty good air cooling (waiting for all the goddamn WCing parts), and a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118115 on the CPU... it cools GREAT! idles around 25-30 idle, and when playing BF2 maxed, it runs at about 38-44 overclocked at 2.4GHz... (slow memory+BF2=lockups, so 2.4 with ram at 1/1 is about what I bother with)Quote:

anyway i will get new cooling soon.
but 57C is still in the limits... after i hit 60C i will bother
What stepping is that?Quote:

cpu-z says Revision: BH-E4 Stepping 1
hehe, Kalero, see what your tempas are like using s&m:
scroll down towards the bottom of the page to "S&M 1.7.6"

hmmmmmm...just for grins..i went down to a friends computer store and he had a x2 3800+ 0541 ( didnt even look at the rest, i was just borrowing it to get my system ready for a x2 4400... ill look later )
well...with it set to 1.50 volts, i get to 10x270 no problem @ 42c load ( water ):toast: ... will pass 32m PI but at 275 it wont. i havent really tried anything to get it higher ( burning in ) right now im running stock voltage1.35 @ 10x250 temps @ 37c idle ( looping water with a CPU and x1800xl ).
i think its a keeper....im sure i can get it stable @ 2.75...but i need some help guys....im working crazy hours and i would like info on what programs for monitoring,benching etc....ive seen them spread throughout forums but i just cant remember where they are all, or how to set them up to run with a x2.....i know this may be a hassel, but with them spread so far inbetween..its hard to find... anyone willing to help a new x2 user on to the right track? lol im not sure how to set infinity etc..basically stick horse stupid with an x2 in my hands
thanx guys...when i pull the water block off to hook up second water cooling system, tonight or tomorrow, ill give steppings etc.

EDIT: im @ 10x215 @ 1.250 volts with atitool running 3d view, core center showing 41c,watching a movie,and pi running 32m..... is it a keeper??? TcaseMaxV1.14 shows 63c....65.6 watts
Lol my X2 has been murdered then resurected, stay tuned for pics and explination
Its now 938 X23800 with Bigazz chip off corner of core topless, but 38 loaded :P on air
I have 4400 @ 2755Mhz [CCB2E 0536MPMW], it has been getting hotter and hotter. It was 31C idle and 44C loaded yesterday. Today it's 37C idle and 57C with prime running on each core. System temp is 36C. This is with water, well a water like substance ( flourinert ) Should I reseat it again?
Good luck with this, I've been thru this problem 3 times, once with a 4800+ and twice with 170's...... It seems that if you hit a dually too hard you don't kill the chip, you just screw it in some way. My 4800 was running 2.8 @ 1.48 with temps of 34/44. One night while under the influence I decided to give a push to 2.9. Hit it with 1.55 and got 2.9 but not stable. Took it back to 1.48 and 2.8 and temps never came back (on water), they were now 42/58. I moved the chip to two other rigs and had the same problem. Today it's runs in anything 2.5 @ stock voltage 38/52 and that's it. Bump vcore to even 1.4 and temps are out of control. I originally though is was just that chip but now I’ve experienced the same situation with 2 170’s. So I no longer will give a dually more than 1.5. There’s plenty of people out there running higher vcore so I’m not claiming my conclusion is gospel but I have proven it to myself. Today 1.5 is max, if I can’t get where I want to be at that vcore, end of story, I consider the chip maxed!Quote:

It boots 35C idle now :(
You cant RMA it:slapass:
Maybe your waterblock is blocked - id remove, dismantle and clean.
lol .......Could be I'll try that:toast:Quote:

here`s my 3800 - spmw0537 (silent aircooling)
asus sli premium, 1,45vcore in bios
hopefully will get it stable at 2600; need to find the right settings for the ocz tcc5 at that speed 1:1. i think that will be my max overclock with this cpu on my board (1,5v core).
strange thing is, it does not boot into windows with a hight htt and 9xmulti.
amd x2 is a very nice cpu though, better than my venice @2800. :)
i had one of them for a while, gotta say, it wasn't all that great. Mine needed about 1.5v for 2500mhz stable. On Water.Quote:

Have you tried with lower Vcore ??, you should be able to undervolt @ only 2.45GHz :)Quote:

I any of them a good stepping?
Does the o/cability of lower cache is better?
And something else...
Which are the "good" weeks?
I have a CCBWE 0529RPMW 3800+ Toledo which overclocks moderately well, 2.55 MHz at 1.55 volts IIRC (long ago).
Look at my sig, the X2 3800 is good for 2.8GHz with 1.52Vcore everything torture stable x 2Quote:

Running 2.5 now 100% stable at 1.475, 1.450 might be possible but 1.425 wasn't stable in the long run.
Edit: 2.65 went ok at 1.600 vcore but 2.7 was a no-go, hung right away. Trying out 2.5 with 1.450 vcore as we speak :)
0533SPMW running 2.7ghz with 1.525v, and burning in. I think the 0533 was a very average week, i had an 0537SPMW which was absolute crap (needed about 1.5v for 2500mhz) and not tried any others.
I reckon CCBWE 0538XPMW might be a good'un. Just a guess though.
i could use some advice. as my post count could tell you, i'm new to oc'ing. and i've read through most of this thread.
i have:
x2 4400+
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR (not expert)
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 Dual Channel Platinum
ASUS EN6800GT 256MB
right now i have it at 11x237 getting 2.607 at 1.536v (curious to know how far x2 4400's have been pushed on air). i havent messed with mem settings as of yet.
couple questions. i see people going up to 1.7v, although i wouldnt since i'm still aircooled. but my bios only lets me have a setting of 1.55v as far as i can tell. is that usual? something i'm missing or just a limitation of my board? (i updated it as soon as i built the rig on monday)
second question, i see a lot of people asking "whats your steppings". while i think i understand what steppings are, where can i find them? printed on chip? any other way to get them? or am i way off?
lastly, does anyone suggest i start messing with the mem settings, or just leave it be if it seems stable. if i'm reading cpu-z right, i have 2.5-3-2-5-7 right now. just looking for overall advice on this one.
i know part of the fun is experimenting, and i have no problem with that. but a push in the right direction, and having an idea of what my limitations are would be nice.
thanks guys.
Need a quick answer..
Is a 4400 X2 Retail..
CCBWE 0522TPMW
A good stepping?
