Need help identifying stepping from crappy pics

[mels]

Calling all photoshop experts

 

I recently purchased an opt165. I took pics of my CPU but they came out crappy so I wrote down the stepping. Well I've since then lost my sheet and all I have are my 3 crappy pics of my CPU. I don't want to open my case and remove my xp120, wipe off the AS just to get at the stepping. I am hoping someone can use their mad photoshop skills to find out what my stepping is.

Using some edge enhancing filters I think it is something like this:

 

CCBWE 0606YPMW

 

it is the Production Day that I cannot determine correctly. 5th letter in stepping after date.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Here are the pics

CCBWE 0604 TPMW or YPMW

 

batch 1156

 

also that is a "T" in the bottom-right corner on the PCB, so your chip will like the voltage and probably need it to clock high

I know the CCBWE 0607 was a horrid OCer... dont know about this one though.

It figures, the guy who's nick is "Hawkeye" gets it.

 

 

Ok, so I can assume it's CCBWE 0604TPMW, since I can't find anything googling with the extension YPMW.

 

I can't see a T but I'll take your word for it.

 

Thanks a bunch. BTW did you use photo editing software?

I also have the same problem. I took pics and didnt bother to write it down. Now I dont have any thermal paste left to remove the HS and check. The pics are in bmp format (incase they give more quality over jpg) - So it might take a lil while to load - 4.3MB total (3pics). The 3rd pic kinda sucks but photoshop may come out with a miracle. 2nd pic is best - I can see the 0550, Can anyone find out what the rest of the lil letters/numbers are?

nope, I got all squinty and guessed, lol.

 

batch# is fairly clear...pretty sure that is a TPMW...not positive on week#4, but that is what it appears to be, hehe

 

the "T" I'm speaking of is a gold T, not on the IHS itself, but in the bottom right-hand corner of the PCB, directly adjacent to the gold arrow AMD puts in the opposite corner to keep us from installing it the wrong direction. you get either "T"=which clock higher with higher voltage, or "N"...which clock not quite as high with less volts and do not respond well to higher voltage.

CCBWE 0550 UPMW

 

batch #0123

 

here is link to XS.com thread on that stepping...yikes...

opty 170 0550UPMW thread

 

btw, these are both very likely KILLER overclockers...esp. the 0604TPMW...me jealous

 

xxxedited to reflect TSOPIN's correctionxxx

Opti 170 CCBWE 0550 UPMW, last five digits of the last line is 50123

Ccbwe 0604 Tpmw
