The San Diego OC DISCUSSION Thread

[SET]

Hello guys.

Until now I have obtained this with my 3700+ 0522 XPAW.

http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/6111/2m1065314hp.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


I want to make questions: :fact:

a) You think that it is a good result for a 3700+?

b) You Think that with WC can improve the results?

(The temperatures for 2.9ghz@1.65V are 38C Idle - 60C Full )

c) Am better to have left I with the Sandiego or venice of my signature?

(Both do 2.9ghz but venice is slower and warms up less.)

Thank you very much by all the aid that can lend me to decide. :woot:

Until soon

[Spinal]

What is your voltage you set in BIOS? CPU-z is very off. I get 1.36 in software when I'm really at 1.41 or something... yea... Does your Sandy prefer 11x or 10x multipliers? Just wondering cuz I got an 0522 like you too

1.6v in bios approximately

Just ran my 3700@290x10 and got this. Yours is about right. This should be over in the sd oc'ing thread. Please use thumbnails as even with dsl it jumps up and down alot.

Any -70C luck on newer steppings guys?

hey people im new to this forum, im having problem overclocking my 4000+ SD, its a SH-E4 model, the specs below are the best i can get out of this, seems like 2.64 is the best stable i can do, even with volts up to 1.71 i cant get it stable even at 2.81ghz, 11x255, i take the HTx to 4x, i take the volt of the chipset higher, ldt volt is at 1.3, and my ram is fine, i even tried running a different multiplier, i donno what to do, seems like im the only one stuck at 2.64 if this is the max then i am very disapointed with this cpu :[, anyone have any suggestions?????

[ugp]

@ GAR

How hot does your chipset run with your case closed? And looking at your specs I thought with the SDs it ws better to run them at a Decrease Skew of 255...?

[TINC]

Hi
My SD 3700+ start at 320x10 1.75v with BOX cooler WITHOUT THERMOPASTE (im test it quickly) :D MB Epox 9NDA3+. CPU not my, and I must say it OC potential. How thinks, with what frequency earn this CPU ?

hey my chipset runs idle at 47, and load at 53....dont forget i live in LA, its preety hot at this time of year......winter will be better even tho there is no real winter here.....im selling my chip on ebay....i cant get anything over 2.64 ghz even 1 mhz above prime95 fails.....

I live in Florida man it isn't any better....I keep the side off my case and I have a big fan blowing in it and it idles at 40C and load about 45-47C. It scares me when it goes over 50C...I don't like it LoL.

I tried getting nVidia Silencers on my 6800GTs but they wont fit...I want to find some other way of cooling my video cards. I am thinking about putting water blocks on them but that is one hell of a heavy heat load on that with my CPU...I am not sure how it will affect that. Anyone have any ideas?

tell me about it...I live in Arizona and it gets HOTTT, my cpu idles at 55c! :( I put a big fan on the side of my comp and opened the side of the case, the temps droped by 3-4c, ROFL.... :p:

I live on the Ga- Fl line and it's not that hot on my comp, I have air cond.

I'm suprised they don't have it where you live, maybe you'll get it someday.

[ugp]

Yeah but to run it cool in that one room at a certain temp the rest of the house is freezing and it runs the electric bill sky high...want to pay for mine?

[dogsx2]

I'll trade. When you grow up poor, there are only three things that matter:

have enough to eat
stay warm in winter
stay cool in summer

Neext few Days a go to max OC :)

[GoThr3k]

what is the best NEW week for SD
new weeks i mean 30 -> 35

[Deus Falsus]

are the later weeks of 3700+ overclocking as good or better than the older?

[Lane-k]

Hi..
I just have possibilies to change my A643700+ San Diego week 526
for a 4000+ San Diego. Without loose money.
What can i wait from the 4000+?
I will try getting the 3Ghz and use my OCZ like they must work, at 600Mhz min.
But actually my OC max is at 2.93Ghz with the 3700+... Actually i don't know if this is my CPU, some week are better as other..(memory controller)
memtest is stable at 615Mhz without tweaks..
The memtest pass too during hours of loop (5 + 8 + Full)at more of 300x10...278 x 11 without errors... Under windows..reboot after 10 sec.

I use the Win X64 pehraps it's the thing made this.
What do you think, All San Diego 4000+ are good Overclocker or it is like the 3700+, all is determinate by the revision.(week)

[FragTek]

To be honest... I've tried 3 4000+ San Diego's now and they've all sucked mad balls in the OC department.

The last one I had was the best, which would do 2,977 stable but at a whopping 1.75v, the one before that would only do 2915 stable @ 1.65v, and my current one only does 2850 stable @ 1.6v.

Fed up with these damned Diego's. Ready for my Opty 146 to come in... ugh.

What are you talking about? Those are great speeds.

If you want to see results, get a 3700+ San Diego or even a smaller chip. Because of their lower stock speeds, you overclock them further to reach the 2.8-2.9Ghz area so you think you're getting a better OC, which in reality isn't true, you're just starting farther back so you have to ramp up more Mhz to reach the same speed that a 2.4Ghz 4000+ only has to gain another 4-500Mhz to reach, instead of 6-700Mhz of the 3700+.

I have a 3700+ KABGE 0529APAW San Diego that's prime/memtest/3dmark stable at 2.85Ghz (317x9) with 1.66vcore. My temps are 36ºC idle and 46ºC load.

[ugp]

I am curious to mind my minimal voltage at stock clocks on my 3700+. I am running 200x11.0 right now testing Prime Stable at v1.3. Who has played with this so far...

[Lane-k]

In real if i ask this is really cause i have trouble for stabilise my OC...

I use OCZ PC4800 Plat. TCCD and really if they run well under memtest at 615Mhz without error (witout tweaks a lot too) I don't arrive work under windows at 300x9
or 300x8... This begin really make me crazy... Under memtest i have no errors at all with an OC at 302x10 and higher ( test loop 5+8 and Full during 4Hours minimum at each speed) At 300x8 or x9 i can't enter windows without crash directly after some seconds.. :slobber: .

I have change for the 3700+ only for use the DDR at 600Mhz and ... nothing to do.. i don't arrive at this.

Actually i m Prime stable at 265x11 (268x11 too) with 2.5-3-3-7 1T, Tref 4708.

It s pehraps too the Win X64 doing this. The Win X64 work on memory controller,
remap the memory and increase the possibility of Virtual memory.
Normally the X64 instructions increase the virtual memory potential.. this is do for server.. The virtual memory max of a OS32Bit is 16Go for 4Go of Phisical DDR when the OS 64Bit can allow 16To and can work with 32Go of phisycal memory. It s clear, its absolutely not useful with actual desktop motherboard . But this will pehrpas the OS64 work on memory.. So the ask with the stability when OC

If you have an idea...I take

Small Update 3160MHZ 1.56V Cooled with WC IHS OFF !!

http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/data/500/71973160-1_56V.JPG

[MaiLoc]

Hello all, i've been read this forums for a long time, but im think this is my first post on it .. so, please , excuse my english.

STONKA, what kind of revision is ur SD ? SH-E4?? , i didnt ever seen nothing about this revision.

[STONKA]

508EPMW 3700+ but Cpu-Z 1.30 show SH-E4 old version 1.29 show E4 !!

Thats all :)

[Lane-k]

- Report of Stonka post

" Small Update 3160MHZ 1.56V Cooled with WC IHS OFF !! "

What is "IHS" ????

And Stonka can you tell me plz what is the DDR you use..?
I m curious... lol

For the "SH E4"... I have verify on AMD, there's no "E4" Certainly the CPU- Z have shorted the revision or AMD have change name since 1.29.

All revision is named SH-xx in real...

Other thing... what do you think about this .. yesterday i have do
a prime during 2 Hours... No errors.. I boot this morning at same settings, same bios and.. hmm Prime fail directly... Speed fan show no big variation on all voltage, in real only the 12V decrease when begin full load (Prime) but only of 0.03V and stay stable then. all other are stable..
Only thing i have do is cleaned my rad of my Watercooling this have give me a decrease of 3°C..lol
PSU problem??

[STONKA]

IHS = Head Spread of A64er chip !! remove = without and you become better Temps !

I dont think PSU you have 630 Watt !! I have 480 Watt Tagan U01 and this is OK for my SD and 3160MHZ !!

mayby ram ??? it is very dificult to say this and this could be wrong that your pc is not stable at the moment with prime95.

[Lane-k]

Nice if it's remove temp. I havethink it can be that but was not sure.. :D
But i can't with my CPU cooler (Watercooling) the pression will be really too high without the Heatspreader, the cooler is fixed with a screw on middle of it. Screw on with a dynamometric key.. at 37-40 Kg

I think the OS x64 is pehraps a problem too... More i look and more i think the X64 instructions unlocked give bad thing in OC... The Win X64 is working on memory controller. the x64 instructions work on the memory use and Pagination, virtual memory. it can work with 16Go of DDR vs only 4Go for the 32bit...
Acutally i have some problem with this OCZ... a pain to stabilise at 300Mhz..
Ok some memory controller of the 3700+ don't work with a 300FSB... my CPU can't pehraps.. other i have make run the metest during 4 hours this morning at same settings... No error.. Directly when i am under windows.. instability come.. I will say i can play at BF2 all Graphics at max 4xAA and 4-8AF without crash..
32M pass and the OCCT too..
Pehraps the mobo... my PSU have 2 Rails 20A + 18A, this is enough for SLI system... but i don't know pehraps the mobo have a problem.

for the OS i will see today i go buy one Win XP Pro 32bit today.
Anyway i keep the x64 and will see if there's a difference.

[im20nrollinhigh]

I am looking to buy either a 3700+ or a 4000+ San Diego. I can get the 3700+ for about 90 dallars cheaper. What I am looking for is to run it at 2.6 Ghz without alot of volts. Other than the 200Mhz faster, is the 4000+ virtualy identical to the 3700+? I will be cooling with a big typhoon 120mm air cooler. What would u guys recommend?

I think the 3700+ would be fine...I was running 2.75GHz fine 24/7 @ v1.63

[Lane-k]

Really hard to say... the core is similar... But one thing interessant for OC the 4000+ have the multi at 12x... If you fall on a good revision the 3Ghz is easy to get... In real all depend of the revision.. I f you don't want OC a lot... Hmm the the 2600 is easy to have. with both..

he he... My 3700+ begin to give me pleasure... Now i can boot easy at 276x11 or 300x10... Prime not stable.. need tweaks and work for more for this.
anywise the major part of instability seems gone at the time i have reinstall a XP Pro 32bit... ( i was on X64 before.)

Edirt... possible to bench now at 273x11: 3003Mhz...

[revenant]

I am running my 3700 sandie @ 2850 on 1.51 vcore... it's a KAB2E 0532 XPMW stepping... seems like a good OCer, but my mobo does no run a mem divider which is not 1:1 with the fsb and be prime stable, for some reason. it's bizarre... games work though..... and my memory will not go over 260, so I am sort of stuck at the moment @ 259x11... I ran it at 273x11 with the 10:9 mem divider, with only 1.566 vcore and was gaming and benching... 28.5s 1M super pi times... but prime would fail... I am in the market for new mems, Crucial Ballistix tracers (2gb kit) and a DFI SLI-DR expert mobo.. when it's available (~ 1 month). I have a feeling this cpu will get prime stable @ 3ghz... and go beyond... it's not too voltage thirsty, so I am thinking it will have a nice top end. :)

EDIT: here's the proof :)
http://venus.walagata.com/thumbs/agunn_3k.jpg (http://venus.walagata.com/w/agunn/3k.jpg)
but I will be damned if it does not fail prime right away... but that's a nice low vcore for 3ghz! w00t. :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Sir-Gillespie]

My San Diego 3700+ can do 2860 on box air cooling.

I think it can reach about 2900-3000 with som more volt and whem my watercooling gets finished.

I have searched alot on the web but can't find any overclocking results on it. Would be glad if anyone could show me/link some results with this stepping.

[revenant]

I have not seen that KABYE stepping before... mine is KAB2E... and 0535 seems very new. mine is 0532 and it's a good OCer... Anyways, it's hard to tell what results you will get, but you could blaze the trail to the new stepping OCing results. :)

Yup...that is how it has to be done...Mine did 2.75GHz just fine no problems really.

I just bought a 3700+ a couple days ago, it was this exact stepping kabye 0535. I just got around to overclocking it today and with little burn in, its doing 3200 stable. This is a great chip, its only on an original prommie. Im sure it has 3300 in it. Now for some memory thatll do 300 fsb.

[revenant]

whoa... damn... nice! what vcore does it need for 3.2??

[impu|se]

I only had to put it at 1.35 x 110%, however I was messing with the memory trying to get it to go higher. I had to bump it up cause im in a rush right now, but here it is at 3.2@ 1.5 volts. When i have a day I will see what she can really do. http://home.comcast.net/~impulse/3700/3700.jpg

getting my diego 3700+ on thursday along with the pcp&c 510 sli, really excited! :D

had to do it after recently having a nightmare buying a 3000+ venice from compusa because i was impatient, and immediately after installing it and seeing the 95C temps, my inspection resulted in the ihs ripping completely off the chip, stuck to the p90! i have never even HEARD of this happening before. i've destroyed a 3000+ winchester by removing the ihs in the past, so i know how hard it is to get those off sometimes. :P (that winny was a good overclocker too, 2.6ghz on air).

oh well, can't wait for these parts to complete my rig (for now)!

[VoodooProphetII]

Okay I've read some really bad things about, especially the 4000+ Sandy's with the CABGE which I've got. Well I've got the CABGE 0528 CPAW and I managed to run Superpi's 32mb at 2.75 @ 1.44Vcore (ignore the CPUZ vcore.....that one is incorrect) all done on stock HSF. The CPU temps was 46 under load at that stage.....had cool weather for a change which helped a bit.

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/198/superpi32mb8fy.th.jpg (http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=superpi32mb8fy.jpg)

I know it's not brilliant, but I did also manage to hit 2.9Ghz @ 1.63Vcore last night, didn't want to go higher on the Vcore, so 3Ghz is out of the question till I get better cooling....if at all possible, I might add.

[JasonDTM]

^^^

I have a similiar running Sandy... Does SuperPi1m at 1.44 - 1.45 vcore at 2803mhz (166 divider u.u) SuperPi times arent great, but the CPU has more potiential I think, the PO did 2750mhz on a BT with the slow fan, IHS removed btw. :)

pi 28.797

voltage limited ....it wants some more volts, but im limited with the motherboard to 1.45+9.9% shows 1.55-57 in core cell and cpuz.

i believe this will do 2.95 with a little burning in.

Since this is the San Diego thread maybe someone has any information about this stepping:

A search turned up nothing so therefore I ask... Any input appreciated. :)

i just received my SD 3700+ (KAB2E 0549 EPAW). I read alot succesful SD OC stories, but i'm a little bit dissapointed in mine. I can't get it Prime stable @ 10x300 @ 1.7v. This is on WC. Load temps go in the 50s, so the chip runs rather hot. Also, i have massive problems with the 10x and 11x multiplier (BSODs, program crashes etc.). Alot of users have multiplier and divider problems. Is there a way around this?

[KAB2E]

Hi guys,

Does ~50'C meet the criteria as a high load temp with the Big Typhoon and San Diego 3700+ @ stock voltages? Yeah, I thought so too.

I’ve tried re-mounting the heat sink three or four times, I’ve tried different types of thermal grease and BIOS, I’ve even slaughtered/modified my Sonata case for maximum airflow.

Other temps in my system under full load (Prime95 20 hours) is as follows:

Motherboard – 30/32’C
Case – 30/32’C
GPU – 48’C
Hard-drive – 28/30’C

The CPU’s idle temp is 28-30’C, but at the very instant it’s put under stress it skyrockets to 48-50’C… and well, that sucks!

Wanna try out its OC potential, considering it runs stable on stock voltages (Prime95 20 hours) @ 2,8 GHz.

Ideas? Anyone else suffering from these annoying temp-variations?

[KViper19]

i just ordered myself a 3700 from newegg for my birthday, gonna test it out con my xp-90 and 92mm panaflow. What stepping has been coming out of newegg recently

[Sailindawg]

I'm looking to upgrade my system to finally go S939. For right now, the SD's are priced very nicely for the best performance/price point. I will be overclocking this cpu. On Newegg, they are showing 2 SD's. The "older" Rev. E4 and a newer Rev. E6. Besides running on less voltage and runing cooler, does the Rev. E6 overclock better than the E4 ?

I have tried searching, but everyone here seems to have the Rev. E4. I will be using air cooling (TT-BT).

Thanks.

[LenniZ]

I'm getting tired of this crappy 3700+, only does 2950 @ 1.71v barely 1m stable.

Do you think any more volts would help me getting 3G?

And btw, there is no way a computershop can find out that I have overclocked my cpu right? If I kill it :--)

no they cant find out. i dont think more volts will help.better cooling is the way. try experiment. put deionized water in ice tray in freezer. empty water out of loop and add the ice. crush then fill system with crushed ice. this will give you an idea of how better cooling will clock it. i did it once with a cpu i couldnt get passed 2.9GHz @ 1.6V on normal water. with chilled i got 3GHz at 1.57V. all good fun, at least you get a good screenie before water heats up again. :p

btw, he's selling it.

You might want to ask him for more details:

Hey all
My first attempt at OC'ing my 3700, got it at 2.86GHz @1.5V prime stable, running an Asus A8R32-MVP deluxe. Started running into some stability and boot issues if I went much higher. Cooling with a Zalman CNPS9500 with the fan adjusted by my mainboard's Q-Fan, so if the temps get any higher than 47 C it'll kick the fan into high gear. O yes and arctic silver II - stupid me forgot to order AS5 when I bought the other stuff :slap: Ambient room temp is about 25 degrees C.

I don't know what is good since I'm fairly new to OC'ing. My 1st OC I did was a pentium 1 100MHz to 133MHz, oo goody :p:

high resolution pic (http://www.realworldservers.com/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=33567&g2_serialNumber=1)

My memory apparently doesn't like higher speeds, had it up to 224 and it wouldn't take it :( timings 2.5-3-3-6

Besides the AS5, anything else I should mess with to try and squeeze more speed out? Like, would bumping the voltage up to 1.55 stabilize it? I'm just afraid if messing with voltages too much.

Cheers :toast:

@ Before

Try setting your Cas latency back to 2.0. You're not actually at 1.5, the DFI's just give you that setting for some reason, but by trying to run 1.5 you're actually running around 2.25, just a suggestion.

yeah the 3700+ seems to generally be a better OC chip, my friend has the 4000+ and he barely got a 200MHz increase before running into stability problems. Might be his board tho, he has the original Asus crossfire mobo which I don't think is the best for OC'ing.

currently I have it at 260 x 11 @ 1.5v perfectly stable, but 261 x 11 is not :confused: I tried bumping up the voltage to 1.55v and it helped but I only got a few more MHz out of it and it wasn't worth the extra stress and heat IMO.

my cpu with dryice: AMD64 SD3700+ 0602GPMW - 3667.31 MHz@1.84V (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=107106)

:banana:

3rd in the cpu-z 3700+ hall-of-fame...

Just happened to get a hold of an Alienware computer, which happened to have a San Diego 4000+. It's kinda interesting I guess, pretty old though... I don't know if i should sell it or not.

The stepping is as follows:
ADA4000DEP5AS
CAAZC 0441EPMW

I haven't seen any information about those yet...but any insight?

[Khaotic]

Heck, what to do.
I've still got a 3700+ SH-E4 stepping that runs at 2750Mhz 275x10 - to keep it 1:1 with my Corsair 4400. I've kept it around becuase - thanks to Conroe - AMD CPU's are AMAZINGLY affordable now. Sure, the AM2 is out, but that would mean a switch to DDR2. Then, i'd have to find a Dual Core that overclocked like a mutha, then I'd have to get the whole sha-bang put together.
It's like XBOX 360 vs PS3. It's my LAN box, it works RIGHT NOW, and i've got no waiting around for parts.

GAME ON!

I am curious why all guys running sp2004 only at priority 1 and small FFTs
to determine stability of system.
I think sp2004 will be run with priority 9 or 10 and Large FFTs at least four hours

my older one:

ADA3700DAA5BN
KABYE 0542FPMW
1346777J50714

under water:

2960Mhz @ 1.584V Prime-stable (http://bastel-gianni.ripping.org/overclocking/prime_sd3700_0542fpmw.jpg)
CPU-Z 3120MHz....

last week i tried it under a vapochill ls from a friend:

SuperPi: 3429MHz @ 1.75V (http://www.overclocking-team-switzerland.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=118)
CPU-Z: 3438Mhz @ 1.75V - http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=105473

i think with dry ice or ln2 are more mhz possible...

wow, we have the same stepping, pretty much, when i saw you list the serial, i was like omgwtf?? and had to check my serial.. but check it out

4000+ KAB1E 0626FPMW

3.6ghz 1.59v :toast:

looks like this is about as far as it likes ...more voltage no help.

[tdamocles]

Any difference between the E4 and E6 revisions of the 3700+ SD? Do they overclock about the same?

wow.... what is the highest cpu-z validation?

[Littleluk]

Hey there,
cant get my 4000+ stable at 3.0 Ghz, not even at 2.9 Ghz with 1.65vCore. Its on water... Maybe even more vCore?

Me and a friend of mine have bought an 3700+ 939 kab1e 0626fpmw. This is stable at 3150 mhz with 1.45v on air but we are not able to let it do 3180 mhz even with 1.6v maybe it's the mobo ( asus a8n sli deluxe bios 1013) or the 350watt bequite psu. And for a reason unknown to us it is not able to boot with tccd at all.

[Kasparz]

Where you bought that CPU?
Asus is bad motherboard for A64 overclocking, so does 350w psu.

[LyP0]

In germany i know this store owner and he lets me pick out the one's with nice steppings :D.
i know asus a8n sli is bad for oc'ing a64 bit i got it for 20 euro's. psu is going to be changed to 520W bequite ( i have it laying around here.... somewhere)
You think this board can be voltmodded to like uhm 1.8v or atleast fix the droop. If this can be done we can bench in a cooling ( where meat is stored and stuff, it is capable of holding the temp on -25 ) the manager there has agreed to put in right in front one of the huge blowers.

[blade148]

having problems over coming 2805hz with my 3700+ and making it PI stable.

I've tried changing the multi, and can get better HTT ... but still seem to hit a wall around the same overall chip frequency. running 1.5volts atm, have had it up to 1.7volts to try and get this suckers to go higher, have lowered the HT etc .. but still not having much luck.

cooling is ZALMAN CNPS 9500 ( and some crappy thermal paste ... will sort that out )

load temps 33/47

[blade148]

can anyone give me any advice ..??? or is this the end of my chip's performance increase ?

[stunned_guy]

Hi, did u tried other dimms ? This could be the problem. If it´s not ur cpu is an their end.

[pigDESTROY]

having problems over coming 2805hz with my 3700+ and making it PI stable.I'm the same mate, only 255x11 (2805MHz) is my stable limit with prime running for a week using predominantly small FFT's.

I can't remember the stepping, but I can get 255x11, 280x11 and 330x10 stable. Using .5 multipliers is bad, apparently. 2.8GHz is good enough for me, although i'm tempted in getting a 4000+ SD to break 3GHz with that 12x multi.

[blade148]

tried other dimms, and had the HTT much higher and the ram was stable.

i have a strange stepping ...

KABCE 0542FPMW

and early one, so could well be the end of the road for my chip. :(

thanks foir the replys though, wanted to know if i was doing anythign wrong. ... !

I have a KABYE 0542 FPWM lying around (3700+) which does 3Ghz prime stable on 1.45v.

And, I've received a new toy yesterday:

The stepping of this 4000+ is KAB1E 0626 FPMW. Havent found it's max. overclock, but I'm pleased to see it does 3Ghz. Besides that, here's some TCCD fun:

Unfortunatly this RAM doesn't want to boot over 300Mhz on the sandy core, will have to tweak around again :)

[knopflerbruce]

I have an FX57 CABYE 0540MPMW here, anyone ever heard about it?

Can't find ANY info about it anywhere, lol. Just want to know if this could be a WR-stepping or if I should look for some other stepping instead;)
