NBBWE 0602DPCW i would guess

[greg64]

Thank you for your reply Escobar999.

What makes you think that the 0602DPCW might be the better overclocker ?

[farksy]

If anyone wants to 'play' with a week 17 naked e3 venice 3000 pm me

I want ! But i'm from Singapore ... so it's pretty hard to send it over.

Anyway just to post some results, my LBBWE 0545 CPAW 3000+ [Venice E6] could do 2.68Ghz [297x9] @ 1.58V, on my AMD stock cooler. Temps were somewhere around 42C idle and 51C load. [Ambient temperatures are pretty high around here].

Just a pic to perk things up =D.



Changed my cooler to a Scythe Ninja, and same results [but significantly lower load temperatures], trying to get it to 2.7Ghz @ 1.6V. I'm thinking it's the chip, but i'm pretty satisfied as i've seen some others with 0545 can't hit 2.65Ghz with voltage below 1.6V, so i got a lucky one .

If possible, i might want to purchase a chip that can do better than mine, as i find that many 3000+ are pretty under-used or un-used already. Looking at something that can clock 2.7Ghz with less than 1.55V, so i can do some benching. I've always dreamt about a 0517. PM me if you have one for sale =D.

0602 are great OCer i think, and its the lowest in the batch number

With all the over clocking going on what is the life span of a CPU? Do you leave it over clocked when you check your email?

If I over clock my Venice 3200+ to 2.4ghz, keep the temps and voltage normal will it go down with the sun or last into my old age?

Is long term over clocking a CPU killer?

[BlueAqua]

So far I haven't really read of anyone's cpu failing from overclocking over a period of time. Obviously it might reduce the lifetime of the cpu but by then it will be a good time to upgrade. I think everyone who overclocks leaves it overclocked as long as it's stable. I don't have any issues with leaving mine overclocked all the time, even if it sits there idle all day.

yes, leave it overclocked. otherwise, what's the point? everything runs faster= yay for you!

fwiw, I ran my 3200+ Winchester on stock air cooler @ 2460mhz 1.65v for over a year, it still runs solid for my friend with a slight overclock. running a chip right now I've had for over 6 months...most of the time running 24/7 voltage between 1.55v-1.65v on air cooling and 2700-2808mhz. have benched as high as 1.75v for periods as long as a half hour and even the memory controller is still working perfectly. (or as perfectly as E3 mem controller can ). now it's even a naked chip (no IHS) with an air cooler that is mounted horizontally...both kind of dangerous...no problems!

these little chips are tough if you are careful with them they will probably run even highly overclocked much longer than you need them. as long as you keep temperatures low and don't push the voltage into the realm of stupidity, you definitely benefit from a 24/7 overclock imho.

Finally hit 3 ghz. Ill let the pic do the explaining

grats. I wish I could hit 2.8Ghz stable nevermind 3Ghz

Hello ALL
Im have troube but i canot up my overclock over 2800 Mhz ...
This week i changed my memory and surprise , not good !
before : SAMSUNG DDR-400 512 MB x 2 - CL3 4-4-8
now : CORSAIR TWIN-x 1024 - 4000 PRO - DDR 500 CL3 4-4-8
Theses Samsung runing at 250 MHz ( DDR 500 ) and Theses CORSIR runing at 275 Mhz ( DDR 550 ) i get equal points in 3D Mark 2001 , 2003 , 2005 .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAMSUNG

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CORSAIR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why ? Why ?
This Motherboard support strong overclocks ???
This Power Suply are efficient ??
In Sandra 2007 and Everest Ultimate Edition Corsair is better
This my 3rd Cpu in 939 Socket im try a X2-3800 and X2-4600 , but without sucess ...
( 4600 X2 )

( 64-3500 with SAMSUNG )

Thx all for listen me

[xenium]

its becuase your ram timings in the second one are just a hair slower and cpu is 22mhz lower. plus 01' is a crappy program to test performance on IMO. try running 05' and see the difference.

[BR-PREDATOR]

Thx xenium , i will try lower my ram timmings :-)
Im tested in 3DK2001 , 2003 and 2005 ...
But im try again later !
Too much thx

[vtx_]

3dmark01 is better for testing differences in cpu performance than 05 is. the newer 3dmarks are very gpu dependant and cpu performance doesnt have as much of an impact. another program to try would be aquamark3 and see if your score inscreases, that is a more cpu dependent bench.

[BR-PREDATOR]

Thx VTX , all tests is valid i think ....
im try anyelse ... now lower ltency memory
runing at 3.0 - 4-3-6

[BR-PREDATOR]

maybe i see the trouble ...
I tested this memory alone , in single channel and surprise !!!
Memory runing at 286 Mhz , and in dual channel runing max 2.75 ghz
Why ? trouble in memory ? or trouble in dual channel of my motherboard ?
Or in single channel is possible more clock ???
My memory are serial number ----5469 and 5470
Please anybody help-me :-(

my last test in single channel ....

Nice ! What stepping is that ?

[MrRevhead]

Nice ! What stepping is that ?

stepping on my 3200+ is:

ADA3200DAA4BP
LBBLE 0543WPMW
Z836406K50219

I donno what exactly I was supposed to put, so I just listed everything that was on the chip.

I'am pretty sure he is using the same one.

[OverClocker_gr]

Thx VTX , all tests is valid i think ....
im try anyelse ... now lower ltency memory
runing at 3.0 - 4-3-6

Just run mem at 1/1
Use 10 multi and up the htt up to 275..
So...then yo will have 275*10=2750 and the mem 1/1..

[BR-PREDATOR]

Thx Overclocker , i will try it !

[ksimp88]

I've hit a wall at 2500MHz on my NBBWE 3500+... I can't understand why... ?
Don't most of these chips hit over 2600MHz? I have an 0606... My E3 3200+ was much better than this... and a lot cooler... this thing is hotter at stock than my 3200+ was OC'd to 2.8GHz at 1.7v.... Doesn't make sense.... Oh, and the IHS was still on the 3200... :/

What's the max voltage I should go for? I keep hearing different numbers... IE 1.65, 1.75, 1.55, etc.

Couldn't I test volts with OCCT at stock speeds until it gets unstable or above 55°C? Or is that unsafe?
