You can buy an 0610 DPMW at Tank Guys right now for $325.00.
Dual core opty's seem to have lost their resale/second party value in cases such as Ebay or trading forums. But the retail value from e-tailers like tankguys, newegg, & zipzoomfly has only dropped around $25 USD. The dual core opty's have been preferred mostly by the enthusiast community because of their overclocking & perfomance. And with the results of conroe posted all over the web. It has become what the community is after for the same $350 more or less, depending on which chip.
im very happy with my CCBBE now. its running 2.95 on air so im sure water cooling will give me 3 GHz. im gonna skip conroe and wait for kentsfield maybe :)
whats the point in upgrading from dual core to dual core? heh
I'm starting to consider skipping conroe myself. I've got two great dual core optys that both do over 2.8ghz on stock volts. From what I'm seeing conroe is only getting about 5-10 fps more in the games I play. And with me being SLI & not crossfire, I'd have to wait for an intel sli motherboard or use only one video card which is even more of a drop in FPS @ high resolutions. Conroe my not be worth all the extra money I'd need to spend on crossfire gpu's DDR2 etc. just to gain 10-15fps tweaked.
yeah i lowered my asking price to $350 or best offer, im also gunna add a better pic so you can actually see the stepping on the chip. The reason i tested it at only 2.2ghz is because i was only testing the chip to see if it worked properly, i didnt want to push it too hard since i wasnt planning on using it at all.

where's evernyone at? :D
*peers over at core 2 duo thread*
i guess everyone is satisfied with their optys atm or sold it already :p:Quote:

I'm not happy :(. I got suckered. I feel like such an idiot for not doing homework here in the forums before bidding and winning. :slapass: Opty 165 CCBWE 0607UPBW is what i got. :( I later found ou that these are the worst overclockers. I'll he happy if i can at least get 2.6 out of it, which would basically be FX60 speeds. Do yourself a favor if you're gonna buy something on ebay, do your homework before you press taht bid now button :fact:
if it's unopened try to resell it, you may lose $40 on re-shipping, but if you land a decent ccbbe or something would be worth it imhoQuote:

So I ordered another, and got the dreaded CCBWE 0608..=( Now I can't get rid of it..

Same here I'm definatly skipping conroe.
I've also noticed that shops in canada have barely reduced prices for opties too. Not the X2's tho, they dropped by half. I heard that this is because the X2's only have half the cache.
only every second X2 has half the cache (or that was the case with the 939's)Quote:

youre right. 3800+ only has 512k. i remember i was considering this chip when dell had a crazy deal on it, but glad i waited and got an opty instead.
This is why you do your homework before you bid on ebay.
Opty 165 CCBWE 0607UPBW 2.4 Ghz 1.45 Volts SP2004 stable
http://www.xanadu2.net/satan666/2-4GhzOpty165.png
:(
looks like you have 2.4ghz @ 1.35v??
or
1.45 in bios 1.35 in win?
big difference between bios and win... im lucky to get .02v diff between the two, let alone .1v... might not be as bad as you think...
What load temp?
cpu-z doesn't read my voltage right for some reason. I'm running 1.45. This stupid Abit Fatal1ty AN8 (non-sli) overvolts by .2 or whatever the common thing is for this board. so the voltage in windows read 1.475 even though in bios i set it to 1.45. I was hoping for at least 2.6. SP2004 stable. So upsetting :mad:Quote:

Just came across this.

Does anyone know how to unlock the multipliers like that guy did?
*Sigh* I want a dual opty, but prices on opty's have barely changed (in most cases you can buy two 3800+ x2's for the price of one 165 opty) .
Anyway, is there any truth in the coldbug issue? I remeber reading that this would coldbug even under water :p
you dont unlock the multi yourself. it just kinda happens. theres another XS member who had a 146 with 11x multi when it was suposed to have 10x.Quote:

Nice OC, few questions:Quote:

2. Are you using 2x512 or 2x1gig memory sticks?
3. Could you post CPU-Z and A64 Tweaker screenshots at that speed, Main Tab and Memory Tab like my screenshot.
4. What CPU Cooler are you using?
5. Your voltages look low, What motherboard and Power supply?
This is the best I've gotten.
