2500+ Steppings!!

[ZoNtO]

Hey guys, I want to know that best 2500+ Barton stepping(s) for overclocking! I have a deal on an Abit NF7-S 2.0 and a 2500+ w/ an SLK800 and a Panaflo L1A on it for 175. Here's the stepping on the Barton:

AXDA2500KV4D Y858318240139
AQXEA 0327XPAW 1999 AMD

Any good? LMK guys, I think I have a gem. He said he ran it at 2200 completely stable and I want to shoot for more. Tell me what you think.

2200 should be well within reach... most likely at default voltage... 2.3 may be possible, but I wouldn't bet on it... 2.4 would be even less possible and you'd have to run very high voltage to even think about it.

Why you say that? Do you think it would be worth it, I wanted to run 2300-2400 at least.

2300-2400 IS high for ANY Barton, 2.2 is a healthy average. Remember, Bartons stock speed is 1700mhz (right?) so an overclock of 500 mhz is nothing to sneeze at. I'm sure if your lucky, have just the right mobo settings, right ram, right cooling, and right processor you could do it but IF the chip runs fine @ 2.2ghz then dont be saddened if it cant do anymore, that's still a GOOD deal ( a barton Guaranteed to do 2.2!!)

1.83 ghz is stock 2500+ speed, so it's ONLY like 400 mhz dude. LOL, jk. The most I could ever get my 1800+ to was 1.7 ghz (up from 1.53). Now that's a load of bull crap. I think I'm gonna take it, although I have one more question:

Would it be wise to get a better HSF combo? Or is this one sufficient? Thanks for the help guys!

The aqxea is very nice. I'm currently at 2.34 (11x213) at 1.8vcore undervolted to 1.77 with my OCZ Gladiator 3 and AS5, so I think your slk should get you more on that stepping. I believe mine is an 0327 aswell.

Thanks for the feedback, working out order details now! Lucky I caught the post first! w00t w00t! It was tonite that he put it up. lol

So what exactly is the BEST stepping and week I guess for 2500+'s then guys? I figure that anything after week 31 or 41 wouldn't be the best because they are locked from factory now, but I don't know the stepping Hall of Fame really...

Anyone have some info at all? I just want to compare this stepping ^ to the highest overclockers (on air) that are out there. LMK!

Go here and here and search for that stepping. You should be able to find comments from people who have that chip
