Hello All... Just received my AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (retail) from the delivery dude.

Could someone help me out regarding stepping? Mine is KAB3E 0548.

I've noticed a few people have posted stating that they have the same KAB3E - have you managed a decent overclock? Also, is there any websites with a stepping guide? The only one I've found is out of date!

Muchos gracias!

hi , what do you think about mine

it is a KAB7E 0547 CPMW

Nice

and only 1.52v :eek:

That's really good. Very nice chip you have there.

Got a retail chip from here about 3 weeks ago. Stepping started KACAE and got it to this on air

Is prime stable at 2.9gig and still working on getting it stable 3gig

and guess what , for another 50 mhz i need...+0.15V :eek:

drop down to a 9x multi and bump up the HTT again to see if you can get a higher clock without thevoltage bump?

bah mate , i think it wont do any good, mates who have the same stepping (seems a common one in greece) report the same thing.

dale1uk · 2 May 2006 at 17:26

wouldn't be too dissapointed thats still a cracking clock. What temps are you getting and what cooling do you use??

Iraklis F.C. · 2 May 2006 at 17:38

H2O , temps are

cpu
idle=29
full=38

VGA
idle=37
full=42

X1800XL@600/630

room temp= ~18-20 C

Soul Rider · 2 May 2006 at 17:46

Thats still a great clock, most of the UK chips are not getting above 2.7-2.8 without connecting them direct to the mains!!!!

Iraklis F.C. · 2 May 2006 at 17:50

gee i know , its hard to find a nice piece of CPU in the UK. All diegos here are KAB7E and most of them do over 2900 <1.45.

the tank is custom built , sorry for the toilet paper used to hold it horizontally

Ok mine SHOULD be arriving tommorow, whats the stock voltage on these ?
Will post codes for you lot to speculate on once it arrives

Vogon · 4 May 2006 at 11:29

Code is :
CCBWE0541TPMW

Early tests don't look good, Doesn't seem to let my memory post at T1 even though it was fine with the Opteron 170, and even 1.55v wont get me into windows @ 2.8 without a BSOD along the way

Do these have a different memory controller to opteron DC then, or is this one just pants ?

welshtom · 4 May 2006 at 11:47

I just bought Ted's chip off him
Im hoping for some good results if she likes phase.

3.4/3.5ghz

I have a CCBWE 0542 VPMW that does 2750Mhz but needs 1.52V to run Prime stable.
[email protected] wasn't even Prime stable so any higher would require >1.7V and a Vapo

Vogon · 4 May 2006 at 13:20

OK those wishing to get one of these might want to avoid the current stock here !
Even 2.75 with 1.53v this one fails prime in 4 mins

Added to the fact it runs hotter than my Opty did (and that was DC) and doesnt seem to like T1 memory timings, its all in a bit of a dissapointment TBH.

So can anyone tell me if the mem controller is different to the optys and what stock voltage is for these chips please ?

Have a look at this thread
Download the program and post your details, maybe that gives some info?

CCBWE generally means toledo with one core disabled. Looks like you got a failed dual core too...

an even better

mine is doing 11X250 @ stock volts which is 1.35v at the moment. Shall i push it some more, im on an asrock dua mobo. bought fom ocuk last week

You might be quite limited with that motherboard as it doesn't offer much increase in the vcore unless you mod the board itself. Saying that you've got a very nice clock there on stock volts - providing is 100% stable. I'd keep slowly upping the fsb till it becomes unstable and then up the vcore a little till its stable again, and so on alternating between the two. I'm not to sure what volts that board will allow you to put through the cpu but I've got 1.55v through mine to get it 100% stable at 2.85gig, just keep an eye on temps as the more volts the hotter things will get.
