4000+ cabge 0528cpaw is this stepping any good?

gunner · 16 Aug 2006 at 19:56

Can anyone shed any light on this stepping? Is it any good for overclocking?

Thanks chaps...

CABGEs weren't the best of steppings iirc.

As above - nothing special. The best one was/is CABYE.

Or early CABNE's they were incredible

My 3700+ is a cabge stepping,I would disagree that they are a poor stepping as mine is running at 2.9 with rock solid stability.Just be prepared to raise vcore quite significantly as this stepping requires it for high clocks.

what voltage and temps are you talking Smit?

Knew there was another but didn't want to get it wrong

Yes those were the best two. I had a CAYBE Opteron 146 which sits happy at 3.0GHz

This latest (and last) batch of 4000+s are KAB1E and I think they are about as good as anything to date; even as good as the CABNEs.

I completely agree, they're mighty good chips, probably the best so far.

AMD are certainly seeing off s939 in style

This is a KAB1E 0626FPMW 4000+ delivered this morning.

Decided to rebel against the conroe revolution!!!!

nah this chip is actually for my HTPC but i thought i would put it under the single stage to see what it could do ...this was about 15 mins after it's first boot.

Look at clockgen or cpu-z for real mhz.

Minstadave · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:12

Give it some volts!

Nice results though, push for 3.5

marscay · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:16

nice considering my opt 148 cabye takes 1.65ish to get here.

rebadged fx-57's??? i think probably.

man_from_uncle · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:18

I don't even have a spare rig, but i'm already thinking about snapping up one another one before they run out.

Marscay, what cooling are you using?

marscay · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:21

for £80 they're a steal.

that's under a custom single stage.

one thing about these chips is they run RED hot, i thought my opteron was a hottie.....another reason making me think they're rebadged.

Whip the IHS off, that'll knock down temps nicely (sorry to keep recommending this, I can do it with ease now so everyone else should have a go).

Welcome to the forums by the way, nice to have some decent phase results

marscay · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:29

thnx for the welcome mate

, i've been a longtime lurker ...usually hang out at XS and ocforums.

i normally take the helmet off but i'll probably just keep it on for this one.

here's an update ...still 1.5v

Minstadave · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:30

That is one nice clock! Thats good for an FX-57 let alone a 4000+

marscay · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:41

where the hell did these chips come from :eek:

.. still 1.5v

i know a good conroe under this single stage would spank this thing ...but this chip is GOLDEN

Minstadave · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:42

Told you 3.5 wouldn't be a problem

Onto 4 ghz

Go go go!

marscay · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:45

i think this one could give some WR action for a 4000+ under cascade???
