Vista Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Do the OC characteristics of RAM and CPU really improve that much after "burn in"? I hear wildly different results from DFI-street members. Differences could be due to AS5 out-gassing, some strange solid-state transition at the chip physics level, or cooling changes. Does anyone have some empirical or theoretical burn-in data related to modern DDR and AMD 64 chips? Thank you in advance for your opinions.

This is to find and weed out the infancy failure chips. You should note the average CPU looses 15% of it pre burn in speed during the burn in process.

Vista Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Thank you for your reply ViperJohn! 15% loss during CPU burn-in sounds wild. I had no idea it was that extreme. To be clear, are you saying an AMD 64 3500+ 90mn chip that started at 2.2GHz might be good for only 1.87GHz (2.2 * 0.85) after long-term use under heavy load?

Vista No. The speed loss from pre to post factory burn-in is in reference to virgin dies. Viper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
