I recently replaced the hsf on a my proc. Before applying the thermal compound I took note of the stepping:

KABNE 0544EPMW

I've searched the forum for information, but so far I can't find anything on this stepping. Has anyone heard of this stepping or have one? I'm curious as to how far this cpu can go.

Definately new. Did a google search and only one website showed up, in Italian! Looks like you'll just have to go for the overclock and see what comes out.

Ive def heard of it...its an excellent stepping, I believe its a E4 revision Sandy core, Ive seen this stepping get some super high OCs, you cant find anything on it in this forum bc its an older stepping

EDIT:Kevin that is not a new CPU, the stepping tells you when it was made...0544, which is last years CPU and its an older revision than the current 3700s

lol... I was bored and did the same just to see what I could find on it. I used google's translation too.... I even went through a few pages. Trying to read some of the posts gave me a headache.

I didn't really come up with anything usefull though : /.

I take it that it is a E4 resions b/c of the date. Its made only 2 weeks before mine! I've never seen that stepping. Let us know how it does. I'm going to guess and say it'll be like the other KAB*E stepping, like alittle more voltage than the KACAE and do better on water.

After some tweaking it seems this stepping isnt too great. The chip runs at 2.75 on air with vcore set to 1.55. I'll try lowering the multi and possibly use a bigger memory divider.

Dude

Put your divider to 166
Put your Multi to 10
Whats your voltage on your ram? What kind of chips?
Keep upping the V-Core (But watch your temps) My V-Core is at 1.72, but I have my IHS removed. You should be able to go to 1.6 W/O a problem provideing your Memory voltage is at 2.8 or more.

From the Dude intro are you implying the stepping is good or that you have a similar stepping? Anyways, those are the exact settings I used. I was using an Asus A8N-Sli Premium board with my ram. The vcore on the board maxes at 1.55 and I set the vdimm to 2.7. HTT Multi set to 3 as and ram timings were loosened as well. Im out of ideas.

Holy Moly!! 1.72 vcore!! Arn't you afraid you'll fry your chip??? I'm afraid to run anymore than 1.55 through mine.

I had mine up to 1.75 volts once, no problems but it was a short while.....
