Week 24 Bartons have arrived at Newegg!

[Jeff7181]

I just got my XP2500 today... it's a week 24... here's the full stepping...

AXDA2500DKV4D Y850058250476
AQXEA 0324SPCW

I'm off to install it now and see how it overclocks =)

 

[hdeck]

i got mine yesterday, too. does that make it a week 24?!??!?!

 

[cow123]

i should be getting a week 25 tomorrow, tell u how it overclocks when it arrives

No, look at the stepping on the processor.

AXDA2500DKV4D Y850058250476

The bold part means 2003 week 24... which would be the 2nd week of June when it was manufactured.

bah, that means i have to take apart my computer again. i'll do that later.

That's why I take pictures of everything BEFORE I install it =) Helps to have a digital camera =)

Update... I'm now running Prime 95 at 2.3 Ghz (11.5x200) on 1.750 volts... computer locked up at 1.700 volts at that speed, didn't error in Prime 95, just locked up. Seems to be doing better on 1.750 though... however, temps are 54 C. So once I run some benchies on this to see how a barton runs at 2.3 Ghz, I'll probably switch back to 2.2 Ghz @ default voltage. Runs a lot cooler there =)

Here's some Futuremark Benchmarks.

PCMark2002 - 7100 | 6161 | 1126

3DMark2001 - 14,717

3DMark2003 - 1939 | 673

Sandra benchmarks to come...

... and here they are.

CPU Arithmetic Benchmark
Dhrystone ALU 8561 MIPS
Whetstone FPU 3479 MFLOPS

CPU Multi=Media Benchmark
Integer aEMMX/aSSE 12700 it/s
Floating-Point aSSE 13351 it/s

Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
RAM Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth 3013 MB/s
RAM Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth 2839 MB/s

hmm.. 2300 mhz ain't that impressive in my book! I was hoping these babies would get to 2500 at least :\

 

[Jeff7181]

Yeah, I was hoping it would go higher too... was real optimistic when I hit 2.2 on stock voltage... I think I'm gonna try for 2.4 and see if it's stable at 1.750.

why don't you try keeping the mulitplier lower and raising the front side bus

if you want to see good benchmark scores, a higher front side bus will get you there alot faster than a higher mulitplier.

the thing is remember to up your Vdimm and raise your timings. if you got ddr400 go with like 2.77-2.90v and try timings 8,3,3,2 then 8,3,3,2.5

remember your temps will go down after you burn in the thermal grease.

Because my RAM doesn't like to be overclocked... and I'm already running 11-3-3-2.5... it's capable of 7-3-3-2.5, but that tRas trick does help in games, the minimum FPS isn't as low as with it at 7.

And I've never experience temps going down after "burning in" thermal compound.

 

[Jeff7181]

Another update... I can boot into Windows at 2.4 Ghz on 1.750 volts, but as soon as I start Prime95 it locks up.

Did you buy the retail or the OEM version. I'm buying a 2500+ soon and was thinking about getting the retail just to have an emergency heatsink around. (retail is only 3 or 4 dollars more).

Has anyone noticed a difference between the retail and oem at the egg?

Mike

 

[Jeff7181]

Retail... and they just dropped the price to $84 for the Retail one... buy it up!

for a barton 2400?

 

[Jeff7181]

Barton 2500, yes... (no such thing as a Barton 2400, you probably just a typo though)

 

[Jeff7181]

Prime95 finally got an error after 55 minutes at 2.3 Ghz on 2.750 volts... I think I'll stick with stock voltage and 2.2 Ghz =) Temp got up to 56C after 55 minutes.

 

[lotust]

kewl.

So intel is still in the CPU ghz lead huh

SK-7 with a 70mm fan that seems to have slowed from 4500 RPM to about 4200 RPM... hmmm... may be time for a new one... damn thing is almost 3 years old =)

*EDIT* BTW, I played around some more... booted into Windows at 2.4 Ghz, but locked up when I started Prime95... raised voltage to 1.775 and same problem. POSTed at 2.5 Ghz at 1.750 volts though. Even booted into Windows, but locked up as soon as I logged in to my user account.

 

[bjc112]

Can i recommend the Vantec AeroFLow?

I paid about $25 for it, running around 39C idle and 45 full load...

1700+@2.4
