Anyone tryed one of these, what sort of clocks can you get with this stepping ?

Thanks
Si

I have a L629B clocks pretty well its cuurently at 3.4ghz on 1.27v in bios, 3.6ghz needs about 1.4v.

29B is a good stepping. Seen people with pretty good clocks with low volts with it.

One of the best steppings for low vcore requirements.

Might try 1 of these then, thanks guys

Youre a very lucky man! these are excellent steppings. I've had the priviledge of using a week 28 + 29 and both hit 3.6ghz with ease on air with a max voltage of 1.5v

The Asgard · 13 Apr 2007 at 14:22

Yep one of the best.

running mine at 3.4 with 1.35 volts

is there any way of finding the code after youv allready put it in your pc? i forgot to check which number mine is :rolleyes:

iv asked this question befor but iv forgot

IceShock · 13 Apr 2007 at 14:46

oo iv found it, mines a L630B is that good?

Thats great, are you using air cooling? if so which cooler, also whats your idle & load temps - if you dont mind me asking. I have a feeling I've asked you this before but I cant for the life of me find the thread!

IceShock · 13 Apr 2007 at 14:54

by the way, is the lowest the week better or the higher the week number?

Sipha · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:28

Well I think I've struck gold with this little beauty !

Just installed it this minute, and already have her running @ 3.6Ghz @ only 1.4v (Bios) 1.33v (windows load)

Temps are only 31/32c Idle and 50c under Orthos load.

Orthos is running @ 5 minutes ok sofar I'll see how it goes

IceShock · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:30

on the box what volts did it say max? mine says 1.35v max below the l630b thingy

Sipha · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:31

The box says 1.35v max as on all the boxes i've seen, but the funny thing is in the bios this time my DS3 states the Stock voltage to be 1.225 as opposed to the normal 1.325~

IceShock · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:36

hmmmm.....

btw as i posted above, is the higher number better like is L630b better than a L629b? or is it worse

Sipha · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:39

and still going, I think it will do it with lower volts too, just set it to 1.4v in the bios to test

Tbh from 'my' experience its pretty much pot luck.

However there do tend to be certain batches that are better than others but its not gaurenteed.

The earlier chips are generally regarded as the better clockers pre 30/32 FPO's

Also the 'B' batches seem to have greater success, but I'm still sceptical whether it makes much difference or whether its just sheer luck as I say.

Are you buying this stepping from another forum or is a store selling specific steppings now?

Sipha · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:46

Cant really say where its from as its against forum Regs sorry.

Its not from a forum or from a store selling specific ones tho, I've been trying quite a few different chips lately to see if i can find a real gem.

Richdog · 13 Apr 2007 at 15:47

I didn't ak for a specific location mate i'm well aware of the rules, just whether it was a forum or a store.
