German translation help needed - AMD article by theanomaly2006-11-19 12:55:59
  How much detail do you need? by BrainBug 2004-02-05 17:24:47
Because that's a hell of a long article there...

Yes, they used a Barton core. A 2500+ with AQXEA stepping to be precise, which from the article is more problematic to overclock than a AQXDA one. They tested it at 24.8-26°C room temperature and never got more than 43°C processor temp with their water cooling system.

The results in the table should be language independent. Interesting are perhaps the remarks to that table: The voltage levels in the lower clock regions do not necessarily mark minimums. Only from 2200MHz on they are minimal values. And those values were obviously only possible to reach on a systems where all components were high grade and optimally attuned to each other. Additionally reproducability of these tests is limited due to great variances in Barton core CPUs.

The testers were overall very pleased with it though and recommend it over say the bigger 3000+ and 3200+ for better price/value and better overclockability...

If there's anything special from the article you'd like to know let me know (though I'll be off to bed soon)
