awesome. didn't happen to ask what the TDP is too, did you? :p:Quote:

am man now i want one!
someone be a guini pig for us lot and get a 3700+ for the dfi nf3 :p:
already working on it. i just need the 3700+ first ;)
if somebody finds a link at somewhere like excaliberpc, or if newegg has it and someone can ship to me, let me no plz so i can get my comp back up :p:
It's here. :D
tristancarton: For whatever reason, the Turion memory controller doesn't seem to like when you have two memory sticks in anything other than DIMM slots 1 and 2. Just thought I'd let you know so you aren't ripping your hair out trying to figure out why the computer won't boot. If you're just using one stick, it doesn't seem to mind which slot it's in. Also make sure you're using the 4/15 beta BIOS (although I'm guessing the 4/8 would also work, I haven't tested it).
Instead of posting my results on all the forums I visit, I'm going to keep it all in my thread at EOCF. Here's the link.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :banana: :banana:
I knew it would work!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
sweet, thanks FF! *celebrates*
edit: can't see the screens. gotta log in to do that :(
He only put this one so far:
DFI Lanparty UT NF3 250gb

ah, thanks vandi :toast:
looks like cpu-z 1.27 doesn't like recognizing the core though. :p:
try 1.28 perhaps?
oooooo ma ma beautiful
first off give thanks to vandi for hooking us up.
secondly, looks like you guys are going to get the double dose tonight. missed the fedex package today but got to pick it up at around 9 et.
ff, yeah i couldn't get the system past the bios at 2-2-2-5 with my three tccds sticks.(strange because my 3400 could get past at those speeds) pulled the middle one out and it wouldn't even boot. pulled the stick in dimm three out and booted up fine. i will try 512 in 1 and 2 in a bit. honestly i just turned on the system.
turion numbers are:
TMSMT34BQX5LD
CABSE 0507 GPAW
here are a few pics: (if these go down i will try and host elsewhere)

YAY!!! You're Welcome tristancarton!!!!!!!!!! :toast:
I want to Thank Both of you for trusting me!
I am also glad that both of your boards worked with the Turions.
I trust both packages arrived in good condition?
seems like there's still some slight bios quirks to work out with turion then. the fact that it actually recognizes the name shows that oscar really did go ahead and work on it, but the apparent ram issues need to be worked on :toast:
(vandi, you rock. i would have taken that last one off your hands, but i really do want newark over turion ;))
It's strange, but Newcastle wouldn't boot with the memory in slots 2 & 3. My Oakville wouldn't boot with anything in slot 1. And now the Turion seems to be wierd about having anything in slot 3 with more than one stick of memory. Lol, a different quirk for a different memory controller. ;)
tristancarton, did all three sticks work with looser timings? Or not at all?
Vandi423 everything arrived great. I know it took a leap of faith for you being this was your first time doing business online. I appreciate it, and I'm sure tristancarton does too. :)
EDIT: tristancarton, what kind of results are you getting? I just had to at least see what the chip could do, and I'm having trouble getting any kind of descent clock. Set the board to 277HTT for 2.5GHz. Dropped the CPU multi to make sure the board was good to run at all those settings, and it seemed to get into Windows and run fine. So I bumped the multi up to 9x and couldn't get it into Windows. Tried with 1.4-1.55v and no luck. Is there some setting I'm forgetting? Or something else holding be back. Let me know how yours does, so we can narrow it down to Turion being a complete turd or my system being a turd. :(
Maybe it just needs burnt in a little?
hopefully it's just something silly.. not being able to do 2.5ghz is a bit.. :(
even though it's supposed to have a better memory controller, how does it do with one stick in?
ff, sorry been playing with alot of settings over the past hour or two. started out with low voltage then said what the heck. 1.5v is def safe for a 90nm chip.
so been playing around with 1.5v and the speed range of 2450-2600. i will let you know when i have some good solid numbers with prime. (meaning more than just a few minutes of testing) right now i am just running one stick of my pdp xbl in dimm slot1. (2.5-3-3-7 1:1 or on 9/10 divider)
Damn! I hope your results get better. Maybe I should start asking for newark... :( I'm still going to get a 25W for myself though and do what I planned on doing. I still have no word on Venice and San Diego from AMD other than the original May dates.

Edit: Just noticed that you're running 2x TCCD which works better in slots 1+2. I assume that's why.
Must be something else then, because our chips were manufactured at practically the same time. Same week, same stepping, and I'm assuming the batch numbers are only a few off, so I'm sure they came from the same wafer.
But yeah dude I can't even get into Windows at much more than 2.3-2.4GHz, even with 1.55-1.6v. I'll keep tinkering, though. Maybe I'll give the 4/8 beta BIOS a try. Is that what you're using tristancarton?
ff, damn you can't even get into windows above 2.3-2.4 at 1.55v? i can at least get into windows while running 2600-2700 between 1.5 and 1.6. (typing this at 2655 1.55x1.04 2.5-3-3-7 2x512mb cpu/10 divider.)
as far as the bios. i was running 4/8 last week but then upgraded to 4/15. (although i am not exatly sure what changed seeing as the 4/8 bios had the exact same change log as the 4/15)
other note:
-played around with three sticks again at 2T timings under ddr400 speeds. (with all settings on auto) can't get past post. (whereas my 62w 3400 claw can do 2-2-2-5 2T ddr432 all day with three sticks)
not sure how much more i will fidget tonight. from what i have seen so far i would guess my cpu will end up in the 2500-2600 range with volts between 1.475-1.6. i am going to see if i can get a good clock and voltage to run prime overnight.
with one stick of RAM have you guys seen an increase in memory overclock potential on the new mem controllers?
im beginning to think the new 90nm SOI SSE3 3700+ 754 is a better option... AMD may not have been talking sheet when they said slower transistors were used in the Turion line...
it would appear that you're right.. didn't i see something about a turion at 2.8ghz not too long ago?Quote:

Good luck guys!
