Easier said than done...you have to go out and buy while that batch is still in stock

Eg. Venice 0517, Opteron 0540...stocks move all the time so there's still a bit of luck involved.

my 3500+clawhammer reaches 2.65ghz
my 3500+venice reaches 2.75ghz
my current opty146 venus reaches 2.97ghz.. quite satisifed with the result.. but not the price

my 3500+ clawhammer can reach 2.8ghz

but i put it to 2.5ghz cause my room too hot la..

Yeah exactly. Easier than said.

I'm not exactly a noob at overclocking. It's virtually impossible to pick the good batches.

1. We don't get a lot of nice batches here.
2. By the time the good batches news are spread out, I don't think it's still possible to find it anymore.
3. Overclocking is always about luck, and I can tell you, I've never been lucky since I started overclocking 8-9 years back.

My 3200+ Venice might do 2.7GHz at higher voltage, but it doesn't really appeal to me. And I remember 3500+ Venice costed a bomb, and it wasn't here yet when I bought my 3200+ Venice.
