is 2.808ghz the max of your cpu? I do not see superpi with it.

and i see that you're only using 1.55v. have you pushed more volts through the chip?

my 3200+ 0441 does about the same.

Anyways, great overclocks on the cpu and ram.

[=[PULSAR]=]

2.8Ghz on 1.55V thats insane and only with a hyper6 heatsink. I'm jealous...lol, try pushing some more volts and see what you can pull, probuably somewhere aroudn 2.95ghz.

[Freya]

Wow, just wow. QK, where did you purchase your winchester from? Is it OEM or retail?

[funkflix]

Nice one!

Without heatspreader, or with it?

[mad mikee]

/Me wants too please

[blinky]

Nice!

[Torin]

Yeah, where did you buy it, and was it retail or OEM?

[qk4722]

It's retail , from Taiwan...

[Chevelle]

Nice !! :cheers:

Need to get one of them.

[Moonman]

Really nice chip.

[conrad.maranan]

Wow! And I thought I was fortunate to be hitting 2610MHz on my 3000+. You've got one very lucky chip, my friend. That's a whopping 52.9% increase over stock on air cooling!

[=[PULSAR]=]

quk4722 whats your max stable OC and load temp?

What's the stepping on your chip conrad? Is it OEM or retail and where did you buy it from?

[OC Detective]

Your sensors must be out of whack because your cpu temp according to core center at 2.4Ghz is 47C whereas at over 2.8GHz it is only 36C!

[Geforce4ti4200]

you got the strained silcon one, that explains the 2.8GHz clocks. The fx55 with its ss has been seeing easily 2.8GHz, some even 2.9GHz with adequate air cooling. AMD has a small number of winchesters with SS but soon all of them week 45 and newer will use SS. If mine isnt SS I will just sell this and buy a 3000+ maybe 3200+ if I need the 10x multi with SS and ill have about 2.85GHz

[OC Detective]

More unsubstantiated speculation about Winchesters being 100% SS from week 45 onwards. Just because one poster (in another forum!) says that without any shred of evidence does not make it true!
But then again you thought the FX55 would be 90nm and that the Winchesters have a 5% advantage over similar 939 130nm cpus because you saw it on one webpage so I guess you are true to form.

I'm pretty confident I have a Week 39 chip. I have the specs/codes at home so I'll relay that to you in about 2 hours. It's a retail CPU I purchased from mWave last Friday.

EDIT: Okay. I just looked at those screenshots again and I must admit that I am very jealous of you. I would love to hit 2.8GHz on air with a 3000+. **LOOKS INSIDE WALLET** If I still feel this way in the morning, I'm gonna roll the dice and pick up another 3000+ from mWave tomorrow.

[Geforce4ti4200]

we dont know if all week 45 will be SS, but most likley some will be. Heck some are even earlier weeks and are SS like his week 39. Mines week 39 and if it does around 2.6GHz stock volts or 2.7+ with volt bump its almost certainly SS and its true winchesters are 5% faster than newcastles, its been proven. I was wrong on fx55 being 90nm but thats cause amd had a change of plans or id be right. They used SS and managed to squeeze 130nm higher and now SS will help 90nm hit 3GHz soon

[OC Detective]

Winchesters are 5% faster than 754 Newcastles (at a push) they most certainly are not faster than 939 130nms! You need to get your head out of the sand on that one. Even the webpages you used as proof say otherwise, show me one site where it shows the overall performance is 5% better - I think I will have a long wait...........

[conrad.maranan]

Hmmm. I'm not even sure mine is strained silicone, not that it really matters to me at this point. Speculation is an amazing event to witness on this forum.

[OC Detective]

If speculation was an olympic event Geforce4ti4200 would be guaranteed to win the gold.
Oh and GF4, AMD never once stated that the FX55 would be 90nm at launch only you ever said that so they could not have changed their minds. They actually publically stated a couple of months before launch the fX55 would be 130nm.

[conrad.maranan]

If speculation was an olympic event Geforce4ti4200 would be guaranteed to win the gold.

So let's just say I purchased a 3000+ that was of the first batch of Winchesters produced and it clocked really well. For the sake of being obnoxious, we'll say 3000MHz on the factory HSF with generic thermal compound and 1.4V of juice being drawn from a no-name PSU. Does this mean that strained silicone was implemented in the manufacture of this chip? Just because a chip can run at insane speeds, it doesn't necessarily equate to strained silicone being the force behind it. It could be strained vinegar or hyper osmosis purified rat piss for all we know. That's just my .

It could also be an exceptionally good chip from a truly perfect piece of silicon crystal - purified rat piss only helps you until a certain point ...

I'm going to get a new 3200+ Friday or Saturday (the shipment is due to arrive at the shop on the 18th), that ought to be from a quite recent week, as K8 fabrication is done in Dresden (not too far from here) and there are 2 of the 12 german AMD distributors within spitting distance of me. Fingers are crossed, hoping for week 44 or 45.

[arctic-k20]

i have a week 41 3200+ and it needs 1.504~1.520v to be stable in windows @ 2.6ghz

would boot in to windows with 1.49~1.5 but was not 100% stable - anything less would hang at the windows xp loading screen.
