05 winchesters

[leedog2007]

Hello everyone, has anyone had any luck overclocking the 2005 winchesters? I've heard bad things about week 3's.

 

[DoC91383]

I personally know two people with 05 3000's and they reached 2.6 and 2.7 prime stable.

if i order an oem winchester from monarch right now, the chances are that i'll get an 05 - right?

 

[leedog2007]

Probably. Thats why i asked because i just ordered my sig off monarch

 

[bersl2]

Hmm... I wonder if I should buy one before my next CC statement, so I can then clear room for a 6800GT. Decisions, decisions...

 

[diabloII]

well the 05s are more mature than the 04s..

i got an 05 week2. i'll see what i can do this week blegh.

I ordered from Monarch, I think I got an 05 because it runs extremely cool. 25C at the moment, with the fan spinning, sometimes it doesnt even spin, when I am idle at windows. It never goes above 30C, most I ever saw was 33C, when I was playing HL2 had 2 firefox windows open, aim, xfire, and mirc. I might overclock in the near future, for now, I will run stock.

 

[Phew]

I got an 05 week 4 from Monarch. Haven't overclocked yet, my Geil failed memtest so I'm waiting until I get that replaced, and letting my AS5 burn in.

How the hell can you tell what you got? My Winnie is on the way.

 

[leedog2007]

From what I understand its in the model number branded into the heatspreader

 

[intogamer]

yeah my friend just got a "winnie" from Monarch. it was 5 something. he is at 2.4 using ocz vx not a final o/c though.

How do I know what week my cpu was made on? Here are the numbers on my winnie, ADA 3200 DIK4BI, CBBID 0451BPEW, 1173667A50449. This is my first AMD to build on so I'm a little ignorant .

 

[Capt Caveman]

0451 - 2004, Week 51. I have a CBBID 0501. I hear the CBBID's are not good overclockers.

 

[ChineseDemocracyGNR]

Week 51 of 2004.

 

[stfrances]

Oh well, I got mine from ZZ-Fly, I will be putting it all together this week and see how high I can oc it. I hope my Asus SLI D is good for it.

 

[stfrances]

What are the numbers I should look for to get the '05 AMD's? I have been asked to build a pc and I plan on the 3000+ winchester.

ADA 3200 DIK4BI, CBBID 0451BPEW, 1173667A50449

That was what one guy posted. Do you see the 0451BPEW? The 0451 means year 04, week 51. So a cpu made in the year 05 and week 1 would read 0501 where the 0451 is.

 

[Penoir]

Has anyone ordered from Chief Value? I got an 0451 from my order on 02/16.

 

[stfrances]

Thanks akugami, its just that most of the websites I have visited have the 04** on them. I got mine just last month.

I got a retail 3200+ from newegg:

ADA3200+DIK4BI
CBBID0501EPBW

Week 1 of 2005, and it overclocks well. 2.5Ghz (10X250) at 1.5V 29c idle 39c load, stable in everything except Prime95, which errors after 5 hours.
If I up the volts to 1.6 will run Prime95 12 hours +
Will boot to windows and run any benchmarks and games @ 2.6 (10X260) @1.65V with good temps
Overall very happy with my week 1



DFI nForce4 LP UT Ultra-D 2/18 Bios
3200+ Winchester @ 2.5 (10X250)
OCZ 4200 EL Platinum 1Gig (2X512)
Zalman 7000B ALCu
ATI X850XT (540/560)
WD Raptor 74 Gig
OCZ 450W Modstream

Is there a way of knowing if it is a 04 or a 05

 

[leedog2007]

ADA 3200 DIK4BI, CBBID 0451BPEW, 1173667A50449

After the CBBID it will be 05 following it if its a 2005 chip

 

[MustISO]

I have a week 1 2005 3500+. So far I've only turned it up to 2.4Ghz and it runs fine. I'm going to run at 2.4ghz for a week and then try higher.

Yes,Akugami just explained it. For example(once again), my stepping is CBBHD 0447TPDW.The first 2 digits(04) on the second set is the year and 47 is the week.
