I ordered from Monarch, I think I got an 05 because it runs extremely cool. 25C at the moment, with the fan spinning, sometimes it doesnt even spin, when I am idle at windows. It never goes above 30C, most I ever saw was 33C, when I was playing HL2 had 2 firefox windows open, aim, xfire, and mirc. I might overclock in the near future, for now, I will run stock.
How do I know what week my cpu was made on? Here are the numbers on my winnie, ADA 3200 DIK4BI, CBBID 0451BPEW, 1173667A50449. This is my first AMD to build on so I'm a little ignorant .
That was what one guy posted. Do you see the 0451BPEW? The 0451 means year 04, week 51. So a cpu made in the year 05 and week 1 would read 0501 where the 0451 is.
Week 1 of 2005, and it overclocks well. 2.5Ghz (10X250) at 1.5V 29c idle 39c load, stable in everything except Prime95, which errors after 5 hours.
If I up the volts to 1.6 will run Prime95 12 hours +
Will boot to windows and run any benchmarks and games @ 2.6 (10X260) @1.65V with good temps
Overall very happy with my week 1
Yes,Akugami just explained it. For example(once again), my stepping is CBBHD 0447TPDW.The first 2 digits(04) on the second set is the year and 47 is the week.
