How do I find out when..........

[Jarwa]

my Athlon 1000 was made? And if it's a good overclocker?

I hear all this talk of week 15's a good overclocker, week 12's not, etc. Is there a site for this kind of info, or what?

Thanks.

Guess I should have put this in the CPU forum.

Sorry

this should be self explainatory as to the date manufactured!

Just what I was looking for!

Thank you very much.

Looks like I've got one from week 12 of this year.

Good find, Bacillus. I've always wanted to know when my "non-overclock friendly" TBird was made as well! I have a pic of the core at home...check later.

Does the site you got this pic from also have a listing of known "good" or "bad" overclocking chips? I'm curious to see where mine sits. I get between a 10-11% overclock, even with full voltage and that it. Forget about stable...it won't make it past the desktop without locking. At a 10% OC, which is what I'm running now (1GHz TBird @ 1103 10.5 x 105) it's rock stable though. Thanks.

What does the 'Case Temp' mean? Is it max temp chip can handle?


Thanks

MrWhiteUK,

Yes.

There is a chart of how high people have been able to overclock their CPUs here..
