TheFlowerKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 It seems to be a pretty decent one so far.. 2700mhz with 1.42vcore fully database stable but I havent took all the screenies yet.. Hope the new location is treating ya well, those x2 3800's are great buys, all the ones I've seen over here are maxing out around 2.7GHz (but I'm sure the guys just aren't clocking them right ). I've been tempted to get one myself to replace the 148 in my benching rig, just waiting to see how my annual bonus works out, I'd love to have a 11/12x multi to take advantage of my winbond at 1:1 but the x2 3800's are just so cheap. It'll be a hard sell not to get one! It was definitely an eye opener for me when your 170 lost some clock, I took my own 170 clock down by 100MHz/0.1v soon after (I couldn't afford to lose anymore, it doesn't clock that well to begin with!).

zarathrustra Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I should have a 170 Opty (CCB1E 0550VPMW) coming my way in a week or so... and a new OCDB enrty to follow:) With a shitload of luck.... and probably voltage... and a de-capping, maybe even a GGG entry:D. Or at least a nice stable 2.8-2.9, that'd keep me happy I guess. I've heard good things about the stepping, but then you never realy know.

Or you have to go out? As far as steppings go, that's up there with the good 'uns, be looking forward to seeing what you get out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarathrustra Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Good old TradeMe. We'll wait and see if all is good when it arrives. The guy seems legit, and has some good feedback selling hardware. I just hope he got the stepping right. This is the one here. None of the people asking the questions wanted it, so it came through as a 'fixed price offer'... $550NZD, which I think is a little under $300US. They sell new here for about $700NZD, so if the stepping is indeed correct, it is only a few months old, and has never been oc'ed, then I think it's not a bad deal:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlowerKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Nice one, just don't crack that lid too early heh. You going to sell the 3700+? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarathrustra Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Lol, yeah, I think I'll leave it on for a while... unless it looks like it's holding the clocks back.... or I get bored:D Thats why I may just hold on to the 3700+, just in case. Like the GGG sig there TFK, looks like ya put a bit of work into that one:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlowerKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Wise move, I may be picking up another dual core (a cheapie) but I'll keep the 148 just in case. And for nostalgic reasons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarathrustra Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Those 3800 x2's are damn cheap I must say... and the oc's don't seem too bad.... Looks like a lot of them are Toledo's with a half disabled cache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlowerKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Yeah, 2.7GHz seems to be the average. I'd be gunning for 2.8GHz though.. heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 170@295x10 in my sig was done with the same chip. I still have it. Can't talk myself into getting rid of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 likewhoa Nice OCDB entry. Take care of that chip. There aren't too many DC processors able to break the 3.0 mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
