San Diego with KAB2E 0547DPHW, coldbug?

[ManagHead]

I'm wondering if I shall buy a cpu with this stepping, but I would like to know if anyone here had some experiences with a similar chip under phase change

Coldbug @ 0c

[Sesto Sento]

any cpu with a stepping like xxB1x, xxB2x, or xxB3x have awful cold bugs... but normally are great clockers with air/water

[ManagHead]

Ok

And its not helping to change drive strengths?

[Absolute_0]

not really

but its a week 47 SD, put it on water

[ManagHead]

I'm going to use my phase change what_so_ever

I'll come back later with some other steppings for you

no need to come back just find a LDBHE 3700+ sandy and you'll be fine........

[Repoman]

There are no Sandies with LDBHE

really? tell that to the one thats in my other rig. LDBHE 0517.......

[Absolute_0]

You've really got one? Damn i thought we mostly had CABGE and crap at the time. Next time you take it out, give us a screeny.

thats gonna be a while. However i already tested it some time ago. Its a dog on air only 2.5 at stock volts 2.7 @ 1.5v however on phase it really shines. Had it up to 3.3 just playing aroung before i popped the x2 in.

The D in LDBHE is supposed to mean 512kb cache dual core..

A=single core 1MB
B=single core 512kb
C=dual core 1MB
D=dual core 512kb

guess amd had a NEW YEARS party and got drunk I bought it before they were available to the public. Maybe it got stamped wrong.

[GMX]

Can you post your CPU microcode?

I betting on CABHE.

[Absolute_0]

CABHE sounds better, i think i recall a CABHE 0518 WPMW

[Sesto Sento]

that's really weird... never saw any 1mb processor with the BH revision memcontroller...

[GMX]

the early San diegos had them. I've seen a CABHE 0505 and 0515 and absolute recalls a 0518. For sure they exist.

[ManagHead]

When we are talking about this, are the newer ones better? Thinking of those which are 0550 ->

The early early ones between 0502(i think i've seen this) and 0515 were very good (most were CABHE and samples). After that they got a bit worse, and then they started to get alot worse(CABGE). Some didnt break 2.6-2.7ghz(3700+). But as soon as the KAB2E stepping was out, the average results improved.

You have to remember that the KAB's are heavily coldbugged, so i wouldn't call that improvements...

[Sesto Sento]

thanks s7e9h3n, now i've seen one
never had saw one before.

What do you think about this stepping? CABGE 0524XPMW

Is it good? coldbug?

All CABGEs I've seen have the cold bug.
My san Diego 3700+ is CABGE, and at -35º can't even go further than 260Mhz.

-35c core temp?
