markiemrboo Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Current winnies are not SOI. Just 90nm. 441127[/snapback] http://www.littlewhitedog.com/article4190.html "... The Winchester is AMD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP24 Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 My bad, I had it wrong. SOI is not strained silicon like I thought. The rev E's will not use SSOI like the FX-55, but DSL which is a refined SSOI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Well so far my 3000 Winchester is running at 308x8 prime and folding stable. It will go to 300x9 but is not stable enough to pass super pi 32m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 I'd grab the 3500+ if you can. The new 3200's arent oc'ing as much as the other ones(2.3ghz CBBID anyone?). I got a 3500+, and its also CBBID, but I have no problem running completely stable at 2600mhz and above. I keep it at [email protected] for low temps. Guess the lower ratings got a "bad" batch. Can't complain really, you pay for a certain speed, thats what you get. Anything more is extra . Either way, it should happily outperform that p4 in all aspects of gaming.

guzzidom Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 102fps is going well for your rig (or mine is going badly, my proc should be slightly ahead of yours gaming at stock speeds!) are you certain EVERYTHING was fully up and we're talking 16 x doo-dah and 8 x yee yaw and everything else, actually attempt to stop your gpu in it's tracks!

guzzidom Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Lol, I just KNEW you'd missed something, 59fps and thats with a "mere" socket 754 2800 and a 9700 pro, a mildly overclocked Winchester 3200 with a 9800pro would give you 110 to 120 fps under the same conditions (as far as I can tell from previous CS stress test threads), so that represents a pretty significant gaming boost I'd say. I would wait for a few weeks though, as now that the new 754 Semprons with the 90Nm core are out and are superb oc'ers that surely will affect the price of the lower end 64 bit sckt 754 chips (like mine) and that should, theoretically have a knock on effect all the way up the chain Edited March 17, 2005 by guzzidom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Rumor has it that any 3000+ Winnie below week 51 is supposed to be good for OC'ing. Others say that its a matter of stepping and not the week code. If I had better RAM, I am sure I could get over 2.5 with this thing.

Inu_Yasha Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 slapnuts, you're going through the same delimma I was going through about a month ago when I upgraded from my IS7 2.8C... I'm a hardcore Intel fan, but this AMD64 totally turned me around!!! I have a winnie 3200+ and can hit over 250fsb on it (my ram actually holds me at 240fsb). Also, check out this link to see the performance difference: http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2249&p=14 Honestly, you won't regret taking the plunge. Also, check my sig, I would highly recommend what I have if you plan on keeping your ram and your vid card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 You there should be a thread which needs to be sticked that has the following info. Amd setup for non OCer's stricly gamers. Amd setup for Ocer's Intel setup for ocers and non ocer's People can update that thread to replace it with new stuff that is good and stable. What do you guys think?
