I have close to 100 socket 370 CPUs I'll be benching after I get a a new board for my retro gaming PC. I stared to test them before I put my 440bx board in my retro gaming PC and I'm a little overwhelmed with the number of CPUs I have to test.
Would anyone have any suggestions on how to keep track of all the CPUs, inventory them and so on?
I'm guessing I could make a spread sheet and put S/N on the CPUs or something?
What about a way to quickly determine how well they bench/clock?

I'd get clam shells and mark the clam shell.
Testing, one at a time. Max clocks the first chip and see if any other can exceed its capability. Wash rinse repeat.

The wash rinse repeat is the tricky part. Old hardware like this is funky with over clocking. I have a Mendocino Celeron that will clock up to 700ish mhz on stock volts but only if I had anther Mendocino Celeron in the board before hand, if I had a copermine in it it would not clock to 700mhz on max volts. I think I'll need to get a testing process going were I test etch chip in different ways.

Yes, a spreadsheet ordered by models is good. For binning usually finding max clock that goes through POST is good enough to sort CPUs. |

I'm not the best at sorting everything since I'm generally a very unorganized person. But I would bring out my Ipad and hand-write the batch numbers down and how well it performs in wprime or r15. One of my friends who bought 100s of lga 1156 cpus used wrote them down on google sheets and organized them by batches and such. Also don't worry about binning them all, you can invite a friend over and help you bin them! It'll make session far more enjoyable! |
