What's the stepping of this monster? And which temp did you run it at?

-98 load for 32M, NBBWE 0638CAB

CB at -100 idle

Very unexpected batch. When people binned these chips in mass back in the day, three letter batches were considered the worst.

That's the first one I ever see above 3.4GHz.

I didn't expect it as well

My other 3800+ is LEBDE 0632DAD, but if I'm not mistaken it was worse, however my excel table does not say anything about those 2, so I need to recheck

So I did test it on air and it seems I took the "supposed-to-be-bad" cpu (other one was doing 3.1+ on same volts).

This one can load windows on air with 1.55V set in bios at only 2860MHz, lol.

Tell me about binning...
