What mobo, mem , you usingQuote:

For mem I use Corsair XL, the old ones with JEDEC pcb, they are not very fond of dual-channel though. :cry:

If I were you, the first thing I'd do is to use a divider and see how far your cpu goes when the memory is out of the picture, then use memtest86+ to see how far you can push your memory without errors. When you've done that, you can combine the two and find the max clock.
ok, thanks
Hey guys, these newer X2's are as good as the opti's.

I haven't seen anyone on this forum with this stepping but it is a stonking clocker.
2500mhz stock volts (1.31v).
It did 4.5hours prime before failing at 1.32v 2600mhz. (I couldn't find 1.33 or 1.34v so I've gone and set 1.36v and am priming right now (9hours so far stable).
So essentially it is doing 2600mhz on virtually stock volts (1.30-1.35v).
I'll keep you updated as I'm in testing at the moment. Please ignore my sig, that X2 went back because it didn't work at stock with 2GB RAM. My current specs are as follows:
X2 4400+ 110W model @ 2.6ghz 10x260
2GB 2x1024MB OCZ PC4000EB @ 260 3-3-2-5 1T 2.68v
DFI LanParty UT Ultra-D.
Custom watercooled, dual prime temp = ~39C.

Hi guys
I'm looking for a replacement for my 3000+ venice, and have decide to go for a x2 3800+. But what will give the best overclocking result? An E4 or E6? And what is the difference between the BV and the CD stepping??
I think that whilst the E4's clock well, there have been some reported problems with E4's and gaming. E6's are unaffected which is why I'd go E6.Quote:

"Custom watercooled, dual prime temp = ~39C."
Are you sure your Watercooling is well installed ?
I'm on the stock cooling and my temps with two prime session are exactly the same 40-41 celcius.... Of course my fan is noisy and at full speed, but usualy water cooling is giving better temps. Also, you're only @ 1.36 Vocre, I got these temps with 1.475 Vcore. This is also at 2.6GHz, but 11*236. I have also the same board than you.
Yeah. Installed fine - gives me the same temps on all cpu's I've had. I have my graphics card in the loop also. I think that perhaps my dual rad system isn't as effiecient as running 1 rad either. Might remove the second rad this summer and see how that goes. It's either that or my MCW6002 block is just plain crap.Quote:

Perhaps because of the dual rad + dual heatercore, flow is significant reduced (Aquaextreme 50Z pump) or it could be the fact that the system still has lots of bubbles in it causing poor effieciency. This summer I'll be getting an Apogee block and then removing a Rad and I will see how it goes.
I'll try the E6 then ;) ThxQuote:

Asus A8N-SLI Premium BIOS 1011.005
AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+ w/ stock heatpipe hsf
Corsair TwinX2048 PC3200 C2PT
EVGA Geforce 6800GT @ Ultra (BIOS mod)
Antec SmartPower II 500W
Antec SLK3700BQE
So far I've gotten my 4800+ up to 2.7GHz with the following settings:
HTT = 225MHz
CPU mult. = 12x
HTT mult. = 4x
Memclock index = DDR400
Memory timings = 2.5-3-3-8-1T
Vcore = 1.40V
Vdimm = 2.85V
I've been running dual Prime95s for 2 hours now and Tcpu is at 55C and Tmb is at 33C. All the while I've been listening to mp3s using Winamp, checking mail with Thunderbird, and browsing with 10 IE windows (just for funsies) open. All my apps feel like they are running just as smoothly as they would without the priming going on.
Sadly I was in such a rush to get the system together that I forgot to record the stepping codes so I won't be able to help with that info. But maybe you guys could tell me what others are getting out of their 4800+ chips? Should I be able to get by with a lower Vcore? I tried everything from stock up to 1.40V so I know in my case it's not going to work, but it'd be nice to know if I got a "bad" chip or not.
Hey, if you all have any tips, pass 'em on, I'm willing to take any suggestion that won't cost me even more money. :) Thanks for reading.
Air cooled 3800 X2 (XP120) @ 1.52 Vcore here, but just for few Benches and not for 24/7 use. :(
If cpu temp is under 58C (open case) then all are ok !!!
But 59C means FREEZE !!!! :(
Watercooling needed here.
My poor EXOS died last year. :confused:
BTW. Mem (ADATA - Hynix d5) is running at 2.5-4-3-2-6 1T @ 2.8V

At a local shop i can get two versions of the X2 3800+:
The E4 revision: ADA3800DAA5BV (Manchester)
The E6 revision: ADA3800DAA5CD (Toledo)
Which one would you thoose when looking at overclock potential?
Thanks!
Simon-Paul
A 3800+ cannot be a toledo... Toledo means 2x1MB cache... The 3800+ are *ALL* manchester with 2x512KB cache...Quote:

Testing my new 3800+ (first ever dual core), which I got yesterday.
It's a LDBHE 0601TPDW.
Does 2.8ghz at 1.32V but needs a lot of more volts to get 2.9Ghz stable.
With 1.475V, one of the cores would crash prime after about 4 hours while the other core goes on. Testing at 1.504V now.
Perhaps I should reinstall XP, after using it for 8 months with no changes.
Here's a screenie at 2.9Ghz:

Looks like it could do with being a bit colder..
is that with air?
Sorry, forgot to mention it. Watercooled.
Nice chip :toast:Quote:
