And i have 2 of them here, and they both do the same. so i would say there is a pretty good chance that your would do that as well:)
i want one!
Really nice!!! :DQuote:

they are KAB3E, i'll test them this week before to sell them.
can't tell you the rest of the stepping sorry !

And yeah, I'd love one of those week 47 KA3BE's. Fry's is having a cpu/mobo special on 3700's at decent price. Maybe they'll let me look over their stock.
with my msi mobo the first official bios is the bestQuote:

SLI Platinum btw

That is a serial number. Nobody needs to know it, especially AMD :D Although last 4 digits are interesting for everybody - the lower they are the better.Quote:

At work we had four KAB3E 0546GPBW and then we had twenty KAB2E 0546GPMW we even have one "AW" I thought the more important thing was to get KAB3E instead of KAB2E???
What is the difference between MW, BW, and AW?
so my CABNE 0530AMPW #0001 opteron 146 should be godlike? ;)Quote:

Yeah, is that last few digits supposed to be the position in the batch run, like the old TBird/Barton "how to read 'em" thread ( somewhere, lowyat? ) used to say?
Hoping that has some validity; I just received in an Opty 165 0547TPMW ending in xxxx0096, yesterday. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
still curious...
I mean it takes a ( very ) little bit of time to smudge them out in some graphics app, but still requires making that extra step.
But why obfuscate the numbers?
Why would AMD care? >>Quote:
"especially AMD :D"
@serlv,
It just matters If one got the CPU thru some unofficial channels, like ES CPUs or maybe early review samples. They want to hide it so in the worst case scenario chip cannot be traced back to where/who it came from. Say, CPU is not released yet and some people already have it months before it's official release. They played with it and sold it before offcial announcement. If AMD found this chip (by serial number) the person that got it from them *could be* (no more EEs for him) in trouble as they sold the chip that technically does not exist yet. I guess, that would not be good.
For all of us getting processors by regular channels (retail, online stores...) it's doesn't mean a squat. It's just another serial number. AMD uses those when you RMA the chip and to track the distribution of sales. It doesn't matter If anyone besides you knows it. Someone someday started smudging those out and now everybody does it, no matter what chip they have...
thx for the clarification :)Quote:

But, as you say, once a practice becomes adopted many pick it up.
Thanks for the clarification.

Is it? I thought that like the 1st crepe off the pan, or the first pancake off a hot griddle, the first chip off the wafer was supposed to be tossed...Quote:

I've often wondered about that batch thing. I've had chips from the same run where a higher number did better than a lower number.
But still, you'd think there would be some validity to it.
Well, I'm working away at the one I've got trying to squeeze what I can...
I'm having a really strange problem however... If I have the HTT set to 3x then I cannot raise my FSB higher than 240MHz. I wanted to run 3x311, just like my last CPU... Though I'm not sure why CPU would make any difference? If I put HTT 4x then I can reach 250 and over no problem. Highest I have gone is 11x265 HTT 4x.
265x4 = 1060MHz, not exactly pushing the limits.
I also got 10x295 @ HTT 4x
295x4 = 1180MHz, now that's a little far? How much volts should my HTT get? 1.5 is stock... 1.7 will not post... maybe 1.65?
Trying to make it prime stable.
I have come to realize that this cpu just will not do more than 2.6GHz... I tried everything, raising the voltage, lowering the voltage, more cooling, less cooling... Oh well.
Seems like I've started a few trends from when I previewed the venices that have stuck around here @ xs :p: I actually went as far as lapping out the serial numbers on those cpu's when I sold them.......Quote:

I need to first confirm this new theory before I open my big mouth again........
Really nice results. Too bad DC is the future :)
Lets rock 0547GPMW 0151 Batch Cooled by Waku with IHS !!
http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/da...3ghz-1_29V.JPG
http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/da...73_2-1_4V1.JPG
Last One 3280Mhz 1.5V 14c Room Temps , Test to look if the Cpu rock 3.3Ghz without IHS , normaly I have 32c Load Temps by 1.5V without IHS by Roomtemp 22c.
http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/da...973280-1_5.jpg
Cooming Soon 3.3Ghz or more without IHS :) and prime95 Stable.
Superpi32M its penuts to the Stability for this Cpu :toast:
lucky sob's
