Whats a noob gonna do... The old Windsor EE 90nm with the new F3 stepping, or the new kid the BE-2300 45W, and Shifty's nice oc.
The original Brisbanes had a temp-sensor (on-die) issue that I'd prefer to avoid, since this is my 1st oc build.
The build will not allow the stock HS/F to be used, substituting some AS-5 and an Arctic Cool Freezer 64. THere's a $25 difference in these two, and naturally, if I can get the same perf. (say 2800 MHz Orthos/Prime95 stable, I would prefer cheaper.
After looking around, what can I expect with the 3800 F3?
edit==> After looking around here, the OP's and sys builds don't state which 3800 is in use the CZ (F3) or the CU (F2). It would help, as there's at least 3 different 3800's. ADA3800CU, ADO3800CU, and ADO3800CZ
I think the basics for a decent oc are met with good airflow and oc-able components. I just haven't seen much on the new F3 step revision vs. oc for the 3800. It 'should be' improved with lower Volt and Pwr. Not sure if its up to Brisbane levels yet.
