San Diego 4000 voltage?

[t31os]

I was reading about the San Diego 4000 today and am to understand it comes in 2 flavours, 1.3 - 1.4vcore stock and 1.5 stock.

Which ones are OCUK stocking?.........anyone know?

I'm considering giving myself a performance boost by swapping out my Venice 3200 for a San Diego 4000.

Of course with the intention of OC'ing.

I'm reading a lot of posts suggesting it'll hit 3.0 on air, so the lower vcore chips are going to obviously be better for this.

I have 2.5 on the venice pretty easily and she's been dead stable for a while now.

What do you guys think?...... switch to a 4000 San Diego for a boost or not so?

My venice runs quicker then my buddies 4000 clawhammer in all benchies we tried.

If the san diego is better then this i'll be happy.

I did some further reading, looks like stock is 2.4, not sure on vcore yet.

Curious as to wether it would be worth buying it since the venice runs quite nicely and on paper the san diego doesnt look much better at all.

Comments anyone?

Thats my point, if its not a considerable amount its a waste of money.

Thanx...

Think i'll leave it for now.

Does 1M superpi in 37secs.

Think i'm quite happy with the venice, the other chips seem to be more hit and miss as to wether you get a good clocker. I'm still thinking about another cooler to, i brought the current one for silence more then anything then get excited about clocking and couldnt help myself. I think i push this one some more though, its only ever been the ram that held it back.

Buy myself a nice widescreen 19" instead i think.

I'd tell you more but i'm buying from a competitor.

OEM's are SD, Retail hit and miss, as said by someone else.

Derailing the topic here guys. Most of the replies have no relevance to the topic at hand, but i appreciate the discussion anyway.

In light of the topic, i don't think the 4000 is really going to be a huge noticable difference, and as i said before, the clocks on these chips is hit and miss, just read these forums, and some others. Not all will clock that great.

In games lately i've been keeping an eye on CPU activity and can pretty much conclude its holding me back, but in all honesty, paying £80 or so for a small performance is wasting money really. My aps run fast, my games run sweet, and i can multitask just fine, the upgrade is totally pointless in reality.

I simply wanted opinions if the upgrade is worthwhile. IMO, i don't think it now is, but thank you for contributing in the thread...
