Would it be worth it?

[thawk408]

I have a Venice E6 3200+ that I can not get stable past 2.5ghz with 1.6v and using a mem divider. I thought about selling it and getting something different, but then I remembered that my parents have an Emachine that they bought a year ago that also has a 3200+. I figured sense it is a year old it will not be an E6. Would it be worth it to swap the two to see if it will overclock more or will the results be the same?

Why not try? Although you will probably have to reactivate windows and such due to a major hardware change.

If nothing was holding your current processor OC back other than the processor itself, i.e. memory overclock. Then yeah you might be able to clock it higher, but I cant imagine you will get much more than 2.5Ghz.

My memory is fine I think. I past a 10 hour memtest, so I think im good. Do you think the older 3200 will be able to overlcock the same or better while using less voltage? I have an AC Freezer pro and my temps are fine, but I thought 1.6v is kinda high.

Why would you have to reactivate Windows when you swap a 3200+ for a 3200+ ?

The eMachien is probably a sempr0n....
Though they do overclock very well.

Its not a sempron. Says on the front Athlon 64 3200+ 512 L2.

I just took the chip out of the Emachine and it says on it:

ADA3200DIK4BI
CBBID 0504CPAW

What does all this mean?

Found some info here. According to this, BI at the end of the 1st line means its a S939 90nm Winchester Rev DH8-D0. So you're right, it aint an E6.
