hi-
about to pull the trigger on a budget amd setup. at newegg i can get a 3600 brisbane oem for $59 or a 3800 windsor retail w/heatsink & fan for $67. any difference between the 2 that would matter?

thanks!

The 3800+winsor CZ -F-3 stepping is real good and gives the correct Cpu Vcore Temp reading over a Brisbane! Brisbanes a real good overclockers but have crappy tempsensor!

the Windsor Overclocks great using a lil more power and is know to Clock 2.7to-3.1ghz just like the Brisbane. Just make shure your getting a CZ if ya go Windsor if not then get the Brisbane!

Either is good , i prefer the Cz -F3 Good Overclocking and better temp readings. I was going to get a 4800Brisbane ,but had my friends not twisted my arm a lil on how good the CZ-F3 stepping is, I would of went brisbane .I LIKE MY 5600+Windsor=Im more than happy =3.3Ghz and going for more!
 
HMM, seems as if the latest stepping/revision from newegg is getting 2.7 like my 3600 Brisbane, on STOCK volts.
Get the Brisbane. 2.7 on stock volts = no joke.
Mine was the retail one, but using a Alpine 7 cooler and got it to 2.85 with 1.45V

Get the Brisbane.
 
revision f3 windsors kick the shit out of brisbane. they do around 3ghz stock volts, give or take. my friends f3 orleans did 3.2ghz stock volts, i think a bit higher...that friend is eclipse though....but trust me, windsor is kicking ass.
 
F3 stepping all the way; Significantly higher overclocks and you get the 10x multiplier with the 3800. Win-win.
 
Just dont remove the IHS on a CZ:eek: I just ruined my 5600+!!!!!!! Its solderd on , was removing for watercooling but not anymore. Im running running my Back up Orleans:D

I will be picking up another 5600+ or 6000+ tomorrow with CZ-F3 stepping and also going to check the code date for 711-720 or higher they clock over 3.4! mine was a 711 and pulled a3.5 on air was stable 3.3ghz but i wanted more, So dont remove the IHS just lap It s not worth 2c you would get otherwise!;)
 
Well i dont see the 5600+ or 6000+ going lower in price any time soon, I think i may bite on a 6000+ while Microcenter has them in stock@173.00 and @$222.00 PIBboxed with the newest 711VPMW or 720batch from SantaClara,Im going to look at the chips this afternoon to verify the stepping dates .Will be my last chip until 4core:D
