Athlon 64 3000 939 Week 31

Hi,

I have been supplied a week 31 A64 3000 even though the advertised proccessor from where I purchased my components was a week 46.

I am interested to find out what other overclockers have managed to get out of this processor manufactured on week 31.

I have the identical hardware as described in the following link other than power supply which is a OCZ Modstream 520w and I am going to be watercooling using a Dangerden Copper TDX block

Thanks

I would rather have the week 46....The week 31 could be a nice OC but some early pre week 40 chips had some issues and were not hitting 2.6ghz as regularly...

Send it back...
 
Thanks for replying Duvie. I am in two minds as it looks like the AnandTech experts got a week 31 to 2.6ghz on the above link. I might give it a go and if I don't get decent results then request a replacement.

I noticed they had to raise the voltages though is this a bad thing? Sorry I am a newbie to all this.

Regards

NO rasing the vcore is normal.....How high you do it is the danger part...stay below 1.54 vcore actual with air cooling and you should be fine.....

Will they take it back after you tried to OC it??? If this would void anything I would send it back and get the week 46...that was a pretty decent range in there from week 44-48...
 
When I purchased the cpu I was under the impression it was a week 46 processor as was advertised on the suppliers web site. Unfortunately I just took their word for it.

I have already mounted the cpu/arctic silver/water block etc. I have yet to fire up the machine as I ran out of hose and I am planning to complete the build tomorrow and leak test.

So the processor is not "new" any longer any way. I just happen to have taken a pic of the cpu before mounting. This is how I am now aware the cpu is week 31 rather than 46.

I am sure I can complain and ask for a replacement or money back as i have not received what I requested. The cpu was specifically advertised as week 46 and I have purchased it in good faith.
