So I have some really bad luck ...... Week 0437wpcw

[|3ourne]

as the title says ...... thats the processor I got from zzf . Any inputs or overclocking limits or anyone has the same week . Should I send it back for another one or keep it ?
If someone else has week 37 as well please let me know your max overclock .

I have that chip...

runs 2.5 on default 1.4V

For 2.6 needs 1.5

For 2.65 needs 1.55

For 2.7 needs 1.6 and that's as far as I like to go

Zebo ur my hero !!!! u renewed my faith in my luck . :banana4:

Lets see wht my chip can do ..... now if only ups would deliver my hsf so i can get things running .

Careful I forgot to mention I can't run prime past 2.75 no matter vcore...even 1.75v failed...Some winchs are..

Everything is luck though... I noticed you mobile bartons... well I have one that could run 2.65 with only 1.70V!!! Ran 2.8 with 1.8... Then I had another one which could'nt get past 2.56..

But no matter what the stepping is, its all up to your luck of draw as well

yea my barton sucks compared to the overclocks that other ppl are getting . Mine wont do 2.6ghz no matter the voltage so I really didnt have much choice there . My tbred 2700+ overclocks as much as the barton and feels faster for some reason .

bourne as mentioned earlier week means nothing. the onlything notable about week 37's is that alot of them have the prime95 bug.

see my sig.

this is my CPU on water week 37...

I had a week 37 and I couldn't get it to go past 2.5 (still not bad) no matter what I tried and I had to use massive voltage (1.8) to get it stable at 2.5. My sig is a week 50. I'm waiting on a new fan to replace the crappy one on my thermaltake silent boost that should be here tomorrow. Hopefully that will get me to 2.7 and maybe a little beyond.

seems some ppl have luck with em and some dont ....... if there are any other members with the same stepping please let me know

[|3ourne]

an update ....... i just took the fan off my msi mobo and the chipset is made in taiwan

but the stepping is Q40823.1 0411A2

any clue about this stepping ?
