@Bruce: You always seem to get the Axxxx steppings

Axxxx stepping are eng samples?

EARLY samples at least. Not sure if they're what you intel ppl call ES's, but I guess they are.

What's so about that, btw? You have one?

[socket]

yes, i have one FX-53, and it is sample
E: and it is not ES, because ES are "AMD ENG SAMPLE" xxxFREQxxxx, ZSW2400...

So what's the point, really? If you haven't got anything to add to this thread, please don't post. Let's keep this awesome thread clean

He has a rare chip at least

Wonder if it's s939 or s940... And how it overclocks!

[Doman]

The 3700+: Average I think. B2's are never great, but 0547 was a decent week.

The 0517 could be quite good, read somewhere that it's one of the best weeks to get.

Do you think my 3700+ is capable to hit 3,2 - 3,4GHz?
I will test both of them when my DFI Expert arrives.

940, very RARE.
I have not mobo, waiting for SK8N.. ram is ECC reg 400MHz..
and i am collectioner of eng samples :-)
E: I need FX-51, on one test they have FX with rare code.

[massman]

Isn't there a difference between early samples and actual ES samples?

2.9-3.0g, that's my guess.

ENG samples must ( ) stay in factory.
Qualification samples are for testers and for manufacter od mobos..
And Customer samples..i dont know..

[massman]

Well, the ES samples of Intel are spread around the world .

Basicly, these Axxxx steppings are qualification steppings? ES samples of AMD are known to be held at the factory.

CPUs like your are definately ES's. My guess is that the later ES's are those Axxxx chips with the core voltage written on the bottom of the chip.

[socket]

Well, the ES samples of Intel are spread around the world .

for testers is QS, in chip is Qxxx ES MALAY, and it is QS. ENG SAMPLE is Qxxx ES Ax. I have my C2D E6300, OJRM ES A4, it is real ES. And my C2D is made in 2005 C552... s FPO#

[massman]

You have über-ES samples , which are most likely not interesting from a oc'ers point of view.

THe early ones aren't great OC'ers, that right. But darn, must be nice to have one of those anyway. Just for bragging rights

[gianni-gt]

OMFG!!! my new cpu's suxx... both are really bad!!! i can not believe it!!!! what a f.u.c.k.!!

[massman]

The 156 not good?

[knopflerbruce]

The 156 not good?

I have a feeling that gianni is a bit like me

Less than 3g @ 1.35-1.4v =

It's the same with me, btw. When I pay $10000000 for a chip it always sucks. When I get a nice stepping for "free" it rocks.

Gianni, you have the 156 WR anyway.

[gianni-gt]

i told you this opti 156 is crap! best temp ist -1°C!! but the coldbug is 292mhz @ -10°C....

[knopflerbruce]

You didn't do any benches?

C'mon! it does 3g @ 1.4v stock! Can't be THAT bad!

Give us some numbers, please.

[socket]

opty 156? 156 not exist imho..

[gianni-gt]

and why i have one here?

[massman]

They do exist ...

[socket]

and why i have one here?

photo please :-)
It must be sample...
