wont be doing an OC if the motherboard can't handle it

check out the chip and googled the long numbers on the front. says its a E4

any good?

weescott · 4 Apr 2006 at 11:16

E4 was the first *revision* out. It might clock high, every chip is different.

spookywillow · 4 Apr 2006 at 11:24

someone at another forum i go to says they got 275x10 at 1.33vcore so they must have an E4 stepping too.

What stepping is it please? Did you buy from OcUK?

Bones · 4 Apr 2006 at 13:49

at the risk of sounding stupid, how do you find that out?

and yes i got it from OC

lee87 · 4 Apr 2006 at 13:53

You have to read it off the cpu. There is 3 rows of codes, the second (middle) is the stepping.

Bennah · 4 Apr 2006 at 13:56

Try to post a pic of the cpu...

Jimbo · 4 Apr 2006 at 17:45

I just got a X2 3800+ and I'm not very good at this overclocking lark tbh. Can anyone recomend me some settings to try for? I would like to be able maybes to get it to 4200+ or 4400+ speeds if thats pos?

I have a Asrock dual sata 2 motherboard (Latest bios 1.60)and 1 gig of Corsair XMS3200 cas 2.

Booted Out the Box @ 2.5Ghz 1.4v Vcore

1.4v Vcore Prime Stable Up To 2.8Ghz

2.5Ghz @ 1.4v PRIME OK
2.7Ghz @ 1.4v PRIME OK
2.8Ghz @ 1.4v PRIME OK
2.9Ghz @ 1.5v PRIME OK

3.0Ghz @ 1.6v PRIME 1hr OK

Im Sure With better cooling this will Crack More, My Phase arrives Friday so may try it my mate lets me. Also this Chip Passed 40miutes of Prime 3Ghz @ 1.52v so with better temps it will be a beauty.

Would Run longer but this is a friends chip and he needs the rig together on his Asrock Board. Shame considering the Chip Will be run at STOCK.

I thought the stock vcore for the X2 3800+ was 1.3-1.35V?

I edited it mate, it was showing 1.37v in windows but was set at 1.4v in bios.
