[KaXXeN]

Hey

Im new here on the forum here so...

I have been searching my "sweet" ass off for any kinda of info on steppings for 3500+ winnies but i havent found what i have been searching for.. my stepping is 0450 TPGW. So my Question is: is there anyone who knows any good steppings or something where i can get some info on good steppings?

these are the steppings i can get from work.

CBBID 0450WPAW
CBBHD 0450TPGW
CBBHD 0450UPAW
CBBHD 0450VPBW

any kind of help is helpfull

no we we can know... just test em all out see which ones clock the best

3000/3200/3500 oc about the same.

And since 3500 got the double price to a 3000... no one buys them. And they are also rare.

So if u where u.. check for the steppings on the 3000/3200+ instead.
Bigger chance of finding ppl that heard/got the same stepping with them.

UPAW!

The UP"x"W series seem to clock very wel! Have seen 3 times cpu's that went boxed 2800Mhz+.

NoStra, just curious what memory timings and vdimm your running with that NC 3500+, as my system is very unstable and I am trying to fine tune it. Thanks

i dont agree with you...first, i see many people getting 3500+, second, some people want a higher multi than you get with the 3000.

"rare" is also relative.

Go with CBBHD 0450UPAW or CBBHD 0450UPAW. Most people seem to get good results with xPAW variants, but there is no gurantee when overclocking. Ultimately it's just luck . Take a look at the "batch number" as well. A lower number usually means a better overclock. The code from a winnie is something like this :

ADA3200DIK4BI
CBBFD 0435 XPAW
1089917I40485

The 485 at the end is considered to be the batch number.

I totally agree with buying a 3500+ over a 3200+ or 3000+ (of course if you can offord it ). It's always better to have more flexibility with the multis.

Thanks for the info!

well i first got a TPGW but now i got my hands on this from work

CBBHD 0450 UPAW
1168945L40(164)

lets hope this sucker clocks good but i will have to wait 2-3 weeks for a DFI lanparty sli-dr :/ and that kinda sucks

mem@290 (cause of the 9.5MP)

Things seem to look a bit better now for me.. got my hands on a 0450VPAW witch batch number 034 and that even better then the last UPAW

Here is the full info

Anybody know how well it clocks since it's a week 49 and some people might have it?
I'm also waiting for my dfi

[Theo404]

NoStra,

What week is your 3500? I have a 0434UPAW 3500 NC and have just installed h2o cooling (like 5 mins ago) so I'm wondering how this baby will do.
