don't tell me I've got a minger

it appears I might have been a bit premature.. I burnt it in overnight dual priming at 2.4 and now I can get it to hang about in windows (not stress tested at all I miht add but its not rebooting) at 3.1 with 1.55v.

Should be on for a nice stable high clock I reckon!

Steady progress.

Anyone got any update results on phase?

Looking good so far matt. What temps are you getting on the evap and the die under load and idle?

I've managed to find some limited info on the week 5 LDBHE stepping (the same stepping as mine). A guy over at XS had one doing 3.2Ghz on chilled water. This means I'm now chomping at the bit to be able to test mine now.

matt100 · 18 Mar 2006 at 18:37

1.55 idles at -30 and loads to about -12 to -15

Awesome temps. That unit really is a beast.

Got my X2 3800+ Upto 2790Mhz, how gay is that? 10Mhz away from 2.8Ghz !

And only 52C load... I need a DFI board... 1.5V just isnt enough..

Got my OEM X2 3800 today. The stepping is CCBWE 0601, any ideas whether its a good clocker? Gonna be overclocking it tomorrow.

i have the same stepping and i cant do 2.8ghz.

it will do 2.7ghz @ 270x10 1.5vcore but wont boot into windows any higher than that. prime95 failed within minutes tho.

whats the max vcore i can give it?? im on watercooling and temps reach about 45c under load

buy vaporizers

matt100 · 19 Mar 2006 at 18:32

This seems to be approaching my max v unstable speed

Could be worse

Just realised actually thats using 2gb of gskill HZ, I might be able to push on a bit using my bh5.

And my superpi 1mb time of 30 seconds dead at 3.1 is total pants.

what voltage is that with matt? I managed to get a 27.6sec 1m super pi run at 3.3ghz.

matt100 · 19 Mar 2006 at 19:28

unfortunately 1.808, i still might give it a bit more though

DUDE i thought i was the man with the huge cajonies for putting 1.78v through it lol. Got me 3.5 max unstable clock. Have been doing some burning in at [email protected] though which might help with clocks.

matt100 · 19 Mar 2006 at 19:59

nah, I have bigger!

i think you've got the better chip though...

and ps, 1.808v 1 core fully loaded gets me 0c

Mr Mister · 19 Mar 2006 at 20:03

seen 6C under load with mine although that was both cores fully loaded. Alas its no chilly1 :rolleyes:

matt100 · 19 Mar 2006 at 20:48

gonna try burning it again at 1.55v 2.9ghz, might help!

whats your full spec anyway?

Mr Mister · 19 Mar 2006 at 21:03

full spec is:
3800x2 cooled with a mach 2 gt (r404a) LDBHE0601UPMW (PURE L33T :cool:

)
DFi Ultra-D
1GB Patriot XBLK (TCCD)
7800GT w/zalman vf700cu
200gb +160gb western digital hard drives
Enermax 600w

CCBWE 0601XPMW

Currently prime95 torture testing it at 2.5GHz in my SN25P, looking good so far (got it OEM from OcUK on Tuesday). Voltage is currently at stock.

Don't have stepping to hand but after welshtom's recommendation i got a retail X2 3800 on Wesnesday.

Currently prime stable for 6 hours (and counting) at 2.65Ghz @ 1.5v @ 42 degrees full load (TT Big typhoon)

memory is 2gb g.skill hz @ 265Mhz 3-4-4-8 1:1 on a DFi LanParty UT Ultra-D

ocukcustomer · 24 Mar 2006 at 17:59

My results:

Here's the stable (been torturing both cores all day) results:

Memory: 416mhz, with timings of 2.5-3-3-8
CPU: 2.5GHZ Vcore is 1.4
Core: Toledo

To achieve these overclocks, I set the memory to 333 in the bios and HT to 4x. Of course I had to use memtester86+ a few times to find a happy ground for the memory. Stepping is 10x.

My routine was as follows: underclock the memory so it isn't a factor... set HT at 4x, then go up by 10mhz each time for the cpu till I reached my target of 2.5ghz, doing torture tests in between each run on both cores. This is a Bus speed of 1000mhz, which is ideal. I then clocked the ballistix ram as tight as I could, and the final speed of the ram is 208mhz (416 DDR).

Lovely stuff... gives a sweet superpi 1 million of 33 seconds with both cores tortured.

Nearly forgot: Temps are 35 ish idle and 47ish when both cores are tortured, however if you torture both cores AND run 3Dmark, you will be adding heat from the graphics card, and in this case (x800XT) it reaches an all time high temp of 52C... This is with Arctic Cooler 64 PRO (Air), default thermal stuff that came with it... nothing special.

Mobo between 31C and 35C.

Note: I'm pretty sure there's a lot more room to overclock in this chip, but I don't want to. I just want a damn fast and stable rig, and thats why I forced myself to stop at Vcore 1.4 and 2.5Ghz no matter what. And so I've stopped here.

And did i make you happy you chose it ?

Anders0n · 27 Mar 2006 at 23:16

Looks like quite a few of us are getting these CCBWE 0601XPMW cpu's. I havent oc'd mine yet but will be very soon. Just wondering if its ok to use the asus software i got with my motherboard to overclock it in the desktop?

Thanks
