Which steppings are better for A64 3700's ?

[Vogon]

I have seen these two available, which is the better one ?
ADA3700DAA5BN
ADA3700DKA5CF

Or do all 3700 O/C pretty well ?

No not all of them clock well. I had one that wouldnt go past 2.7ghz but then i got this one:
KABCE0542FPMW

which does 3.1ghz @ 1.54v on air (very quiet air cooled as well) although i dont use it any more as have a 170 @ 3ghz. Generally the newer ones seem good.

Mine is ADA3700DKA5CF & it's a pile of pants wont go over 2.54ghz.
Got it at 2.54ghz using 1.45 volts & cant increase cpu speed any higher not even if using 1.65v

Thanks Sin-tex, I will avoid those if i can then, anyone know how overclockers OEM stock is clocking atm ?

I got a retail one from here about 2-3 weeks ago and thats sitting at 2.8 @1.55v prime stable. Boots into windows at 2.9 but not got it prime stable at that yet. Clocks are on air aswell and temps are 28/9 at idle and my max during prime 95 was 40'c.

The 2nd line is more important like KABCE0542FPMW or CCBWE0542VPMW as that is the stepping and production week.

Thats all the info the site had on them ... so its going to be a lottery by the looks of it
