Just got an oem 3200+ amd 64 939. How high do you think i can get it with only stock volts on an asus a8v (looking for a better overclocking board open to suggestions) code on proc is: cbbhd 0447upew.
From what i have heard the week 47 and 48 have been the best winchestrers to overclock with (up to 2.7 with stock vcore?!?!) and i would like to see
setup:
asus a8v deluxe/ abit av8 (backup board/ might try to oc on later)
sapphire x800 xt pe
1gb g.skill pc4400 (RAWR)
ocz powerstream 420
and to cool it a koolance exos al

will post results shortly.......
First results: Got her up and running after a little bit of trubble with the heatsink (dropped screw and took me a half hour to get it out!!!!) but at the moment i have her running at 290x9 with 4x htt (i know its high but the asus boards seem to go for the higher htt) and 1.4 vcore (lets see how far it will go with default)
i will run some benchmarks and see if its stable, and post some more resulst tomorrow.

Results: this processor overclocks well,but i have seen some people get higher oc at stock....

260x10= 2.6ghz with 1.4 vcore, 1.6v on agp htt at 4x/ got into windows fine and played some hl2, but ran prime and failed after 44 mins....... trying higher voltage

290x9= 2.61ghz with 1.4 vcore, 1.6v on agp htt4x/ everything worked and got into windows without a problem but prime failed seconds after i started it, will try lowering htt and see if that cures it. I'm going to see if i can run some half multi's (9.5, 8.5) and see if there is truly any stablitiy issues..

300x8.5= 2.55 with 1.4 vcore everything is in sink with this htt is at 3x agp volt is 1.6 ran good for 7 hours on prime, but 300 htt is the highest the asus board allows, anyone no of some hacked or better bios?

gonna try 300x9= 2.7 gonna up the vcore to 1.6 to start then slowly lower it and check
stablity

Board ran 100% stable at 300x8.5=2.55 ghz vcore was 1.45

The best spot i have found for this chip is 9x289= 2.6 ghz with default volts

I've found that Winchesters have a big swing between what vcore you can get into Windows with, and what the computer is truly stable with... so if it fires up and boots at 2.7, be happy, but don't get too excited yet ;) the work has only just begun.

Good luck :thumbsup:

It's etched onto the CPU's heatspreader with a bunch of other info...

True, I think right now I am limited by the Asus board's 1.55 (actually 1.584-1.6v in CPU-z) setting. It boots and runs fine, but Prime95 gives it a hurtin' in a few minutes.

You don't want to run much more voltage than that unless you're water cooling.

You might as well chill at 2.6Ghz, no reason to fry a perfectly good week 47 3200+.

I guess you're right. I have an XP-120 on it with a Panaflo L1A running the full 12v, and nothing can get the CPU temp above 57C right now. I mean S&M 1.51 on the FPU setting (in my experience: S&M FPU > CPU burn > CPU burn-in > Prime 95). CPU Burn can't get it above 54C. I actually would like the extra voltage to make it Prime stable at 2.6 rather than go higher with the overclock. What do you think?

Should I hope for a little more voltage for prime stable 2600MHz or just leave it at a prime stable 2550MHz? 2600MHz was a sort of psychological goal for me when I decided to build this rig.
