"The general rule of thumb is that week 34 (of 2003, of course) and earlier CPUs are unlocked. There are a few CPUs between week 35 and 38 (inclusive) that are locked, but the vast majority are locked. Week 39 and 40 CPUs are mostly locked, though there are many unlocked ones. For CPUs dated week 41 and later, there have only been one or two reports of unlocked week 42 CPUs. All other CPUs have been locked. There are a few chips floating around out there, even 2004 ones, that are partially or fully unlocked. For example, some of the multiplier lines will be unlocked, but some will be locked, giving access to a subset to the full multiplier range. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to these chips so they're probably just "manufacturing defects" that didn't lock themselves properly (which is also why AMD is probably still cutting the bridges on the chips)."

"Of course, this only applies to non-mobile CPUs. All mobile CPUs (Barton and otherwise) are currently multiplier unlocked. To get the week number, look at the three lines of code on top of the CPU. The line you want is the one that looks like "AQZFA0342WPAW". So 5 letters, 4 digits, then 4 more letters. The 03 corresponds to the year (2003) and the 42 corresponds to the week (week 42)."

mind to post your idle and load temp? TQ

wahhh. I must buy this gigabyte heatsink as soon as possibe!

can cool my barton also

since u used a chapalang PSU (RM 70.00) as stated in ur sig, I think that not safe to oc ur barton.

Have u try use good quality PSU, at least Coolermaster Realpower 450 W?

by the way I noticed that u used CM XDream III which is aluminium but has copper at base lap, isn't it? I have used it before, and the temp rise to over 60 deg Celsius.

I recommended u to change heatsink to a better one such as Gigabyte G-Power Pro cooler.

Can u try to upgrade these two items in order to overcome the problem. Just my 2 cents opinion.
