That is the week/stepping of my cpu. I have seen various things about the stepping being important and that B is sought after more.

Any truth to this?

From my own experience I have booted windows at over 3.8, I would really like to reach that milestone 4 Ghz. Hopefully with my future watercooled setup I can do so...


EDIT: the reason I ask is because I found hardly any Google results on "b089" or "L626" so i thought id ask here...
 
That is a fake, false overclock. Look through the last few pages of that old database, youll see bickering about that...

he edited the picture or sumthin.

4 ghz stable on air is almost impossible, if you want to maintain load temps below 70...

Mine runs 3.6 at 1.45v. Idles ~45 and loads ~65. Thats damn good, to me. That guy says he got 4ghz on 1.4v. thats just messed up. And also the FSB on the 680i board does not go above five-hundred-something i believe, he says his fsb was 600+.

I honestly dont believe that OC....

Its funny because he is the only one who has the excact same stepping as mine (on that chart anyway), and it is an unreliable source as an OC. On Google I only found one other person on Xtremesystems, who said his B089 was running 3.8 at 1.38v, which is super damn good.
 
is it prime stable at 3.8Ghz? IF so you've got a great chip, why are you asking if its a good chip?

Codes don't mean shit. ITs pure luck!

Yeah you have a better chance of getting a good overclock with the later weeks. But you could still get a dud that only does 2.8Ghz.

You have a week 26 chip thats the most important code on there. The B chips I've seen were mostly later week chips and I think thats why there were doing better than the early week "A" chips.


week
23-25 = bad in general
26-28 = still kind of early weeks, that were average overclockers
29-32+ = have been overclocking with less volts, and getting higher

the higher the week = the better

dude i did not think that the codes meant shit either, i started the topic to ask if there was any truth to that... lol i guess there is not.

it is dual orthos + TAT full load stable for 24 hrs, at 3.6ghz 1.45v.

It was not stable at 3.8, I did not want to go above 1.45vcore because the load temps were reaching 70. Call me a pussy, but id rather prolong the life of my chip... haha
Id rather wait till i get water cooling to take it higher.
