"05xx" Winchesters - How are they clocking?

Anyone got one of these? I've been offered an 0504 for a nice price on a different forum and was wondering how these are clocking? I have yet to see a single thread on a year 05 winchester overclocking! Google is no help, etc, etc.

Cookie for anyone who can give me an idea :D . Basically, are they 50/51 copies or are they 42-49 beasts? :cool: .

Hello there and welcome to XS!

So far the initial experiences are NOT good. Most of 05 cpus are not that good overclockers I'm afraid. Perhaps that will change... Venice anyone? :D

I may just wait for the Venice and struggle with my 043x winchester untill then. Seems a shame to have G.Skill LE 437 and not be able to use it properly!

Hopefully a company I emailed will get back to me about me selecting a certain CPU..

If you are given the possibility to select a specific CPU as for a 0448, they seem to offer 2.7GHz aircooled quite easily. Keep in mind that Venice is a bit further down the road and not just out of the door.

Any particular stepping for the 0448? Also, if 0448 isn't available, what are other good ones?

Seems like the winnies keep going downhill :(

Try to get a 49er they should do as well.

Anakin I LOVE YOU avatar. She is sooo pruuuuuuuuuuuty :smileysex: :buddies:

now about the topic .
I have had a week 50 and 51 and both could not break 2.6 ghz
50 topped out at a paltry 2.5 ghz while the 51 steamed on till about 2.6 .
cbbfd 0450 tpfw and cbbid 0451 epaw.

for 0448 the spaw stepping seems to be the best. 0448 Spaw is the golden winchester.

Does anyone have a 05xx that oc's alright?

my 0502 CBBID 3000+ seems pretty crap - wasn't stable at 2.4Ghz with 1.55v

Anything past week 50 isn't doing well at all. This is my 0503 and it's crap imo.

I guess soon enough you wouldnt be able to oc them at all, then venice comes out..

Do only north american shops only get CBBID chips or something?

I think this is limited on CBBID, this is one crap cluster. Hopefully they get sold fast (given the rate some people here are buying them :stick: ). Then maybe some better ones come.
It is sad I have a chip from last fall that overclocks better than this EPEW I got in February this year. %$#@*&% newegg.

Checking all my old CPUs - not all were CBBID

CBBID 0451BPCW
CBBID 0451EPMW
CBBHD 0450TPGW
CBBFD 0441RPMW
CBBHD 0444XPEW
CBBHD 0447UPEW
..and this one CBBFD 0441UPMW

There was one more but I never snapped a pic of the CPU so I'm not sure what the codes were - none of them but the last one broke 2.6 GHz.

Nothing wrong with my CBBID 0451 MPM. It just did 3D and SuperPI stable @ 2.75GHz on air.

What voltage?

my 0503, does 2500mhz stable.

magic wall at 2600mhz... above that i get BSODs

Even if your cpu does crap oc'ing can you still get good ram mhz's by just lowering the multi, and have low cpu voltage and stable?

Here is a screeny that shows the voltages. I am going to post my full results in the GA-K8NS Ultra-939 section.

Hope venice works fine in everyones current setups

lowering multi still cant make it handle 260+fsb

Is that stable? :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

ADA3200DIK4BI
CBBID 0501CPMW
1126655A50101

10x260 1.45V stable

Anything higher then 260 .. garbage in BIOS (E_NAME.BIN word everywhere), random boots, etc.
Didnt tried 3x HTT over 260FSB yet.

I hope this isn't a sign of the new FX-55's that are coming in the next couple weeks.

I know, she's my wife for god's sake! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Now on topic, generally it's the lack of the draw when it comes to the potential each cpu has. Some would do 2.6 (which is not bad if you keep in mind that they are 1.8G and 2.0G initially for 3000+ and 3200+ respectively), some others would do 2.7 (even better).

I'm still waiting for Venice though ;)

Anyone have any cbbid 0451 epaw's? and how was the oc on it?
02-18-2005, 02:08 PM

I can't remember if my 0451 was a epaw but I think it was and it was total crap. :rolleyes:

sorry i meant fpaw(like it makes a difference :slobber: )
