Merhaba, you can have a bad 1700+ stepping but 2500+ Bartons are all good.
You should post the rest of your setup. That's what you can be worried about since that's what's going to limit them.

The "Y" you talk about does not affect OCing at all as much as AQXEA 0330 VPMW does.
Your week of production is 30, 2003, that's great and stepping you should look up in the FAQ here http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=190168
VPMW meaning is
- The first letter is inconclusive.
- All Athlon XP's have a P as their second letter.
- Those with lower third letters consistently do better than those with higher ones, this is considered to indicate wafer integrity.
- Every AMD ever ends in a W.
You have nothing to worry about as far as the CPU is concerned.
Thermaltake Volcano 11 is adequate but Thermalright will usually help you get more out of a CPU. 300W aopen is on the lower side of adequate.

i dont buy the lower letter thing... i have a TPBW 0328 AQXEA barton that needs 1.85v to do 2200mhz... cooling is slk800a w/ as 3 and 50cfm and temps are like 48C at 1.85v... it wont pass prime at anything lower

Its all luck of the draw. However, it is interesting for a TPBW to do that low. Its something about the AQXEA's that I can't quite put my finger on. Some AQXCA with seemingly worse steppings do a lot better.

It is difficult to refute Gautam's evidence on the subject, click here & scroll down to quote:Emericana said:
