Post your X2 revision F3 OC and stepping

[dblooi]

Fantastic OC dblooi!

What cooling you're using to reach that clocks on X2 3800+?

@funkflix
DI session will be interesting
Your 1620 is terrific!

thanks lightman
i use water cooler for my X2 3800+ oc ,
with ice in the water
weather of malaysia is a bit hot

Dont know why it says RAM as PC-6400 as it's PC-8500. But doesnt matter anyway.

24/7 stable. Waiting for my DFI 790FX-M2R, maybe it will increase 24/7 OC's

[LIKMARK]

Cause it's SPD programmed to be recognized as PC6400's so that it is compatible with non PC8500 compatible boards. (jedec still says 800MHz as max iirc) Nice clock!.

[madfaze]

are all F3's has a 65W or it has also a variant of 89W?how would you distinguish and what the main difference when it comes to vcore?

iirc:

F3's come in 89W and 125W flavour (the latter having an EOL), respectively 1.35v and 1.40v.

[LIKMARK]

The X2 5200 F3 has 65W TDP, but I think it's the only one. The rest have 89W(5600/6000) or 125W (6000/6400) TDP.

any idea what could be its stock vcore?seen at the AMD site which tells that 1.20/1.25v but i get 1.35 stock vcore...

[LIKMARK]

I believed it was 1,20/1,25v for 65W TDP, 1,30/1,35W for 89W TDP and 1,35/1,40v for 125W TDP. What are you reading the voltage with?

vcore reading is @ 1.35 set in auto, and i would thought that this is 65w tdp... i also tried to reset its bios still reads 1.35v

Yeah, you're right about voltage and TDP.

You can check this in AMD technical documentation:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...docs/33954.pdf

But there is four F3 processors with 65W TDP, not only 5200+.

[madfaze]

hmm seems i got the 89w tdp...

anyways what are the advantages of havin 1x1024 L2 cache compare to 2x512?

i had a black 5000+ before (65w)...is it worth upgrade to 5200+?


manage to OC to 3ghz @ 1.43vcore..(13x232)...

Probably not. If you got a 5000BE, the only Athlons I would upgrade to would be the 6000/6400BE, just make sure your mobo can handle them (125W).
Personally I wouldn't upgrade at all, if I got a 5000BE, I would be waiting for the tricores coming late Q2 (probably).

[roadie]

Anyone have any results from the 89W 6000+ CPUs (ADA6000IAA6CZ (OEM) or ADA6000CZBOX (Retail))?

I am trying to decide whether to go for the 5000+BE (£67) or an OEM 89W 6000+ (£90)...

[LIKMARK]

Please go for the 6000, I'm curious about that one too. Haven't seen any results of it yet. Should be better than the 5000BE anyhow. (exept for power consumption that is)

[madfaze]

sheezzzz think i had made a bad move here...

[LIKMARK]

If you got the 5200+ with the stepping you have in the sig, you should be able to reach 3Ghz at reasonable voltages. It will be faster than a 5000BE at the same speed, wouldn't call it a bad move exactly.

yup that my proc on my sig

able to reach 3ghz on my black @ 1.35 stock vcore but on this 5200+ able to reach 3ghz @ 1.42vcore... it freezes on a 1.38vcore so have to bumped to 1.42v

[Data_]

28*c idle, and a normal load 40-43*c. The max temp in orthos is 45-46

You re very lucky, my 4200+ at default frequency, in idle standing 42-45 temperature

stepping 2, revision BH-F2

[madfaze]

might not be the best...

sub 28 sec...

Does anyone know how the 5000 BEs typically perform at low voltage? I would have expected the 5000+ BE to do a bit better than 3.0 GHz at 1.35 vCore. But OTOH I've found that the low-voltage editions don't necessarily outperform the 125W editions at "Cool'n'Quiet" OCing(say 1.2 - 1.3 vCore). My 6000 (125W edition) easily beats my 5200 (65W edition) @ 1.3 vCore, even though they are both CCB8Fs.

(The original file was too large so I had to reduce its colour depth...)

[madfaze]

what batch you got there?

what is with CCB8Fs?

[Quintero]

It's a great stepping - simply put

My 5200+ EE clocks a tad higher @ 1.4 vCore and above, but my 6000+ is far better @ 1.3 vCore and below. Given their similarities in stepping and batch, I was rather surprised to learn that the 5200 EE didn't outperform the 6000 at low voltage. But after further testing and comparisons I got the impression that the high-end models have quite similar voltage scaling on average, although I would expect the 6400+ to clock higher at any voltage.

6000+ stepping / batch:

CCB8F 0718 XPMW

5200+ EE stepping / batch:

CCB8F 0719 XPMW

I just noticed, i thought my x2 5600 was a CCB8F. After i put my new parts in, its a CCB3F. I haven't heard of this, is it good? i had it stable at 3.33ghz @ 1.425v

Curiosity has got me

Haven't heard of that stepping before, it's probably rare. I googled it, and it seems to be one of the early F3 steppings (around week 10 2007). Your result is comparable to my CCB8Fs. What week?

[ThatGuy16]

I can't really find anything on it..
