Hi Guys!
Just as many others I wait for the lower clocked C-1 chips(1.8A,2.26B,2.4B) to appear before I build my new system.
The common opinion is that C-1's have much more overclocking potential than the B0's. Everybody says, that it should be no problem to hit 3.0+GHZ with the C-1's.
However as I look through the overclocking data base and through different forums I see alot of C-1's which are not overclocking well.
My questions:
1. Why does everybody think the C-1's will be such great overclockers although you can see that they are usually not better or worse than the B0's? Is there a reason to assume that C-1's are good overclockers?
2. Are the B0's in fact better?
3. Will the 1.8A and 2.26B ever be released with C-1 steppings?
4. Is there a B0-Chip which is likely to hit 3.0+GHZ?
P.s.: Dont tell me to look for that stuff in the OC-Database. Because it is a mess. You never now if the entries are the highest OC which could be achieved with a certain chip. You never know if the stated speeds were really stable. There are alot of entries with OC-speeds which are in fact lower as the rated speed of the chip and these entries make the "Average OC-Number" wrong.
Thanx in advance, XBTC!
