Mine worked fine this way b4 I went back to H20. (Pretty much the same as now but 13c warmer.

If done right MUCH better clamping and NO CPU chipping.

I recommend this over an XP-120 (better clamping, safe for CPU, dropped my temps by 5c (yeah I was surprised @ teh drop also

) had to flatten teh top on the CPU, use 2000 grit paper on flat glass w/ water.

Will continue to polish IHS later .

Thanks but i have the original 1.3 bios (not a modded version), I just use core-center to increase my voltage to 1,832V, First i selected the highest voltages in my bios (for example 1,5V +10%), then i booted in windows and start core-center and downclock the voltages in core-center to the lowest as possible. then i reboot again to the bios to make sure my voltages are still the same and save it again. then I boot windows again and start core-center, and this time i put the voltages as high as possible, wich results in 1,832V (other voltages are also possible).

this also work with bios 1.4 (as that was my orriginal mobo bios, but i downgraded due raid problems with 1.4).

2909mhz was 3hours prime stable

2890mhz was prime stable 12+ hours

Very nice. Ill have to try that.

**rzonealley** · 04-05-2005, 05:57 AM

really frustated with my CBBID 0451MPM the highest i could get is 278x9 @ 1.7volt.
anyone with same stepping could do higher here?

That seem to be around the max for CBBID's.

3200+ CBBID 0509CPLW
Cheep water cooling

Primes @2400 stock voltage. It gamed for about 45min stock voltage @2500, but SuperPrime failed within 10 mins. Ive stayed at 2500 for now and uped the vcore to 1.45 seeing how long prime lasts now.

Yep! Thats what I'm wating for.

Not bad, right? My oced rig with crappy GEIL PC4000 ram

at drr550

I believe i got CBBID winne, not sure. I lost IHS

Ram is holding me back, but I'm happy with the oc

This is my max with water cooling. Ambient @ 22 C.

Edit: Added link to IS.

**FiNcH64** · 05-01-2005, 09:16 AM

hi guys

well this the oc 100 % stable i reached , cause it seems that its the top of this winnie or maybe not??

cause i put it more voltage even up to 1.85 and can't stable it, the mems are stable cause i use prime 95 on memos and they can reach 245 at 3.2 v

are the limits of my winnie 2.5 ghz??? cause i thought i could have it 2.7 but anything above 2.5 with any voltage is not stable

my validation

any help would be great

Hello all ..

Here is my little oc adventure result with CBBID 0508 FPMW steppings.

Watercooled with a Dtek WW, Eheim 1048 and Dtek Pro-120 Heatercore

Hopefully it will burn in so i can get 2.7Ghz

**TheMask** · 06-13-2005, 02:06 PM

My CBBHD 0449MPM winnie 3000+ does close to 2800MHz.. But its Prime stable only till 2.55GHz..

**Electroid** · 06-16-2005, 05:05 AM

3000+ winnie & water+peltier @ 3018MHz

Not by cpu btw :|

**alexgontijo** · 06-19-2005, 08:33 PM

Guys,

I need some advices on my overclocking.

I'm using my system at 246x10 = 2460 MHz, 166 divider, resulting in 205 MHz at 2-2-2-5. The system is fast with this speed, Primed, OCCT passed, etc..., and the vcore is 1.52v.

So I tried 240x10 = 2400 MHz, with the memory 1:1 in 240 MHz at 2.5-3-3-6 (I did 4 loops in Memtest, ok for that speed) but I've tried a lot of different vcores and the CPU is unstable. It can't run 2 minutes on Prime, locks on games, totally unstable. I tested vcores from 1.4-1.6v and nothing!

What might be happening? Why did the CPU can handle 246 but can't 240? My HTT is configured to 4x, and I don't know what else I can try. I'm using BIOS 1.8mod.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks a lot!

AleX

Very good chance it's your RAM. Memtest doesn't always mean that your computer will be stable at that speed. Back off on your RAM bit, and have you tried more volts to your RAM?

**chainhoe** · 06-20-2005, 06:39 AM

i'v been wondering, does Winchester have cold bug or not? and if yes, how low-temps can i run it?

**Marvin** · 06-20-2005, 08:42 AM

yes, the winchester does have the cold bug, but i dont know if all of them have.
i guess you may have problems...

Hi,

I've tried 2.8v but didn't help anyway. 240 - 2.5.3.3.6 passes ok with 2.7v and 2.8v. So I left it on 2.7v.

I also think that could be my RAM too, because I can't go like 220 MHz at 2.2.2.5, I don't know if this 3200XL likes much voltage or not, but I haven't test beyond 2.8v. Any tips? My maximum vram in the Neo2 its 2.85v...

Thanks!!

Some do some dont or should I say Most do. It sucks because I have two that clock real good on air (xp90), one of which will boot 2907mhz (NOT stable) but is bench stable @ 2885mhz. I've thought about hooking it up to my chiller and slowly bringing the temp down to find the limit but havent had the time.

Best BIos for winchester on NEO2 ?

Hmm, I have tried a lot of em, and I can recommend 1.41 beta or as I am using now, the v1.8 official which I think is the most stable and gives the best OC.

**caRpetbomBer** · 10-17-2005, 08:55 AM

is the stepping of this cpu any good.
i can get one pretty cheap. Or should i not waste my time.

ADA3000DIK4B1
CBBHD 0447RPMW

**caRpetbomBer** · 10-31-2005, 08:13 PM

My Oc results so far for the cpu stepping posted above are.
2.3ghz on stock vcore and stock heatsink and fan.

Ill get a better heatsink and fan soon time. Also better ram.
I want to see what this cpu can do.
