Again, thank you very much :D
No prob, definately the mobo. Now that I think about it, I'm probably gonna go buy the dfi tonight :DQuote:

Have you decided yet if the 3500+ would get the same treatment?
thanks again
Yeah, thanks for your time in this thread s7e9h3n!
I ask the same as LowRun, do ya have time to try out the 3500+?
I leaning towards no, but I'll think about it.... ;)
I would be happy with just runs on air, it doesn´t have to be such a HUGE thread as this :)Quote:

and because i missed before..
open cpu-z. hit f5.Quote:

Stick the 3500+ in IMO :)
As you feel man, it's allready been some very good infos there and i'm happy with that :DQuote:

Gonna be very interesting in about a month.
Hello.
s7e9h3n and I have agreed to consolidate the most frequently asked questions regarding the 3800+ Venice and compile a simple FAQ. The contents of this post has also been appended to the first post in this thread. Any and all updates will be added to the first post should the need arise.
Kindly consult with this FAQ on a regular basis so as not to ask questions that have already been answered. I have also added links to all of s7e9h3n's screenshots for those of you who find it tedious to search through the hundreds of posts in this thread. This should come in handy for the lazy folks, myself included. :D
Cheers!

POST #1 to POST #194
Q: What are the major components being used in the system you are testing this CPU in?
A: A64 3800+ Venice + AMD FX-55 HSF
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (Bios 1.41mod)
G.Skill 4400LE (2x256MB)
Antec EPS12v True 550 (modded 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V rails)
Q: When can we expect to see this CPU in retail channels?
A: You can expect to buy these through retail channels starting first week of April.
POST #195 to LAST POST
Q: What are the major components being used in the system you are testing this CPU in?
A: A64 3800+ Venice + Mach 2
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (Bios 1.41mod)
G.Skill 4400LE (2x256MB)
Antec EPS12v True 550 (modded 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V rails)
Q: What are your loaded and unloaded temperatures?
A: -29C Idle and -15C Load. Measurements were taken from a thermocouple attached to the side of the IHS of the 3800+.
Q: How does the 3800+ Venice compare with an FX-55?
A: FX-55 (11x291MHz) vs. 3800+ (11x290MHz)
Q: Do you have any results that would give us an idea of how SSE3 affects performance in applications that are capable of taking advantage of SSE3?
A: SSE3 performance screenshots.
Q: Have you noticed any peculiarities with regard to the behavior of the 3800+ Venice?
A: This cpu, for some reason, doesn't like its default multiplier (12x) at higher frequencies. It requires much more voltage at 12x to run any kind of benchmark. On the other hand, 11x seems to be much more of a "sweet spot" @ 3.0Ghz and beyond for this chip. It seems to run smoother and with less heat and vcore than both 12x and 10x.
Q: What is the default VCORE for the 3800+ Venice?
A: 1.4V.
Q: What is the highest frequency you have run 3DMark2001 SE at?
A: Approximately 3100MHz.
Q: Are you able to run Prime95?
A: I tried to run P95 blend @ 3.2Ghz, but it could only get to about 1.5 hours and then returned an error.
Q: What is the highest frequency you have used to successfully complete SuperPi 1M?
A: 3306.1MHz (12x275.5MHz).
Q: What is the highest frequency you have realized with the 3800+ Venice (suicide screenshot)?
A: 3419.2MHz (11x310.8MHz) @ 1.664V.

WOW Conrad... You're going to be my favorite moderator :) Just WOW :thumbsup:
EDIT: I'm such a dork :lol:
I have a winchester that will boot and run all day at -40c :D and im not joking.

If I'm truly your favorite, my Paypal account is now accepting transfers in US funds. I accept anything in $100 increments. :D As far as making this thread a sticky, there really isn't a point in doing so at this time considering this topic is always on top. We'll see.
A big Thank You to s7e9h3n for making this thread possible. If it wasn't for you, our speculations regarding Venice would lead to heated debates. :toast:
No, Thank You Conrad, you've made it possible now for me to navigate my own thread. :D
i think we need to take down some stickies before we add more, otherwise there will be a whole page dedicated to just stickies and that would suck big time.
if you can run the 3500 on air and just OC as you did with 3800 would be ver nice to see how far can get a lower cpu and as i said before thx for all the screen shots and all the info you have posted here.....
i wanna dfi ultra-d too :P
Unless you have cherry modules these venice cores are looking to have a very bright future. :banana4:
Many people have asked him to test his 3500+ too and he hasnt, I think he made it clear he does not want to because he is planning to sell it and leaving it unopened in the box would get him more $ but he needs to sell soon before everyone buys one on zipzoom or newegg. He seems like a very busy man and was bothered enough to test the 3800+, thanks for doing that. We will see alot more venice testing in the days to come
