Week 48 3200+

[dnottis]

Hmmm - when you say the didn't OC worth a sh1T - can you tell me what you mean? Like they won't hit 2.5? 2.6?

I was thinking about picking up another 3000+ to see if I could squeeze out a few more mhz - (running at 2.6 24/7 right now) - but maybe I'll just be happy with what I got...

Most of them wouldn't do 2.4 regardless of voltage and 2 of them were 3500's! I also would consider a bad overclocker something that needs 1.6 to hit 2.5 stable. Like a few of the ones Ive had. My best OCer does 2.6 @ 1.55 +5%, and 2.5 @ stock volts. The other CPUs I still have need 1.55 + 8.3% just to hit 2.5Ghz. I see people here getting 2.6 or 2.7 on stock volts. I've never been that lucky.

I got it with the mobo from Monarch. I bought the retail cpu. I havent even bothered going higher yet as my gskill isnt here yet and i havent put on water yet. I may just leave it on the stock heatsink as I'm happy with 2.7

Yea the 3000 in my sig came from Monarch. Monarch's CPU have overclocked much better than the ones I got from Newegg...maybe I'll try another one from Monarch soon. Tired of buying these things to get a crappy overclock.

Check this out. On water 290x10. Havent tested prime yet

[CyberOps]

3500+ was RMA'd for not Priming stable at stock.

if i rma because dont oc's nothing, but getting an excuse that isnt stable at stock speeds, will they trade for a new one??

dnotis, have you tried this??

[Franky 4 Finger]

3ghz but not stable. Looks like it will take more voltage to break 3. I'm priming at 2.9 to see how stable that is.

Oh sorry - I dont recall all the weeks

the ones I still have are 3200 wk 41 (max 2.5), 3000 week 41 (max 2.6) and 3200 week 47 (max 2.5).

My week 41 3200+ craps out ~2.55 also

[Buzz]

hehe mine refuse to go over 230fsb doesnt matter what multipler i use
gonna go home and check what week it is. but its week 20-30 smth
crappy clawhammer

[drunkenmaster]

you got the full 3 lines of code on it? no one really lists the 5 letters anymore, and i'm wondering if there is anything to them, but also the last 4 numbers on 3rd line.

Thats owesome, dare disclose what kind of timings you have in your bios???

[geforce man]

sweet stuff, my week 43 does 2550 @ less than stock volts, i plan to run it 2400 Mhz @ 1.344 24/7, as it does that quite well (mobo undervolts a bit, in reality it goes from 1.328-1.344) i think its a 2700Mhz easy chip, will have to wait till my ram gets here to tell. yea tccd!

[Franky 4 Finger]

i didnt take a picture and i just setup the watercooling. how high can/should i run it on water. i planned on abusing this chip but it seems too good for that.

[drunkenmaster]

f**k it up man :p

my personal opinion is newcastles/clawhammers etc could all take 1.9-2v and there is zer o evidence that killed them, my personal guestimate is a winchester will have zero issues running at 1.9v, and if you want to be safe try say 1.8-1.85v, this is if you want to vcore mod, or have a board with higher voltage(don't think there are any before dfi is out).

when you do change anything and get a chance, if you remember have a look, i've always had cores with last 4 numbers being lower have done better, with sub 0100 numbers doing very well, and i'd suspect yours is deffo a low number.

my friend also recently bought one from monarch and is running at 2.6 stock. He hasnt tried higher yet because he likes running his memory 1:1. I may go order another one from them soon.

These are retail or OEM? Is this his a 3000 or 3200?
I want 2.9Ghz

[Franky 4 Finger]

we both bought retail 3200+ and ordered a little over a week ago

[idleuser]

what memory timing are you running?

[Jeager]

idleuser > read the first page ...

Franky > can you tell me your temps w/ your wc

[Feiticeira]

Do the steppings really matter on the 3200s or is it just week? i just received a 0446 TPAW. Anyone else got one. Congrats on the overclock there, sweet!

Where is it from?
my week 47 3200 wouldnt do 2.55 at any voltage.

Maybe chips from weeks with "7" are cursed...
Because Winchesters from week 37 sucked hard too!

[Franky 4 Finger]

Running core center on the Neo 2, I load around 46-7 C on stock voltage and 55-7 C on 1.65V. My memory is either at or below 200mhz because it wont overclock and its just 1 512 stick. Gskill LE's will be here by tuesday. I'm not doing anything special in the bios. I am running version 1.4 that came with my board and have followed the tips in the Neo 2 thread. I'll have my friend post his results here as well

[nealh]

I dunno my week 44 3200 sucks too 2550 is max....

Sorry, people on this forum are notorious for not answering somebody' s question



That stepping should be the "best", based on the premise that the later the week the more mature the 90nm process. But as you know very well, overcloking is a gamble, nobody will know unless you test it, I think it will be better......
