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.
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.
well, i'm not going to pay premium for good batches either.. juz o/c with wad u haf lor.. yup, back then a64 were expensive & a FX cost 4-digits.. i onli started less than 2years ago i guess, when i first discovered the option to change fsb in bios, lol..
