CACJE or CAB2E - Which do I choose?

[-Mike-]

Hi all,

My friends changed to Core2 and is building his old bits into a pc for a friend. I have first dibs on his CAB2E if I want it and he'll take my CACJE. Which is the better chip?

Well I had a opteron 144 CAB2E and with the right care I got it to 2.8ghz stable on an Asus A8N-SLI Premium. My friend (who inherited it from me) got it stabley to 2.9ghz on a DFI expert. In other words the CAB2E is 'fairly good, but nothing special', in my experiance.

Sadly I am not familiar with CACJE, but as I don't recognise it that probably means it's not anything special either. That doesn't mean it won't be as good or better than a CAB2E though.

Also depends the week of the chip. I've seen good and bad CACJE's and CAB2E's.

I'm currently sat 20 minutes orthos stable (and counting) at 2745MHZ, stock voltage on the CAB2E. I had it to 3050mhz screenshot stable but that was with excessive voltage and it wasn't orthos-able at all! Thanks for the replies guys

Forgot to add guys, 38C full load (core temp)which I think is pretty good (cpu fan at slowest speed and one case fan!!

Seen some where some 2006 cacje's were good for 3+gig on reasonable volts.I had 0546 that maxed out about 2750 on 1.55v. Google the stepping.

The CACJE is a 0546 mate, I only ever managed 2900 giving it silly volts.

As a wee update, steppings of both are as follows

CAB2E 0602DPGW
CACJE 0546BPMW
