AMD X2 3800 OEM is back!!!!

Gibbo · 11 May 2006 at 16:27

Hi there

We've manage to source more X2 3800's at the cracking price of just £159+VAT on our website. Unsure how these overclock but the last batch I remember been superb. So who's gonna buy a few and test them out.

How about the non oem version, what's it clock like, and whats the stepping.
I dont like the idea of the oem, cause you lose 2 yrs of warranty, but do the oem versions overclock better anyway

Well I don't know one stepping from the other these days. Just not had time to look yet sorry. Will definetely get one our of the warehouse Monday and check it out, we've had 180 come in so stock should left a week or two unless we've got very unlucky with the steppings.

nice one Gibbo

Foehammer2003 · 13 May 2006 at 13:54

noob question i know!

how can you tell the stepping from a box?

They're OEM so he can just look at the chips, they'll come in a tray of bare chips.

Even the Retail boxed chips have a plastic window in them so you can see the chip and stepping.

Messiah Khan · 13 May 2006 at 13:56

You can't. You can only tell from looking at the top of the chip, which is visable on the retail boxes.

Edit; Damn, beaten to it

Foehammer2003 · 13 May 2006 at 13:59

cool, thanks!

Meh! damit.... not taking tha heatsink of to see lol, cpu-z is acurate though yeah?

Messiah Khan · 13 May 2006 at 14:04

Yeah, cpu-z should be accurate. But it won't tell you the full stepping.
