okay, assembly location whatever... so i'll rephrase my question. :p:Quote:

Wow, iMAX! Thanks for this cool thread and sorry for my delay! Frankly speaking, I don’t know about this thread! Why didn’t you inform me about it in time? :) If you need any assistance just let me know! I’ll help you with pleasure! BTW, you’ve got a really good processor! Congrats! :toast:
My apologies, iMAX, for any doubt I cast on your discovery.
That looks like a nice chip to have. I still use my s754 box as my main PC and one of these would do nicely in it.
Anychance of seeing an air cooled 3Ghz S754 chip?
Yay? Nay?
i guess you missed out on the newarks around may ;)Quote:

Newegg has them in stock.

yes, he did mean the 2nd letter.Quote:

I think S754 lost 200+ just for being s754 (single channel memory) so 2ghz by default sounds about right to me? :stick:Quote:

I knew about them, Just too much hassle for me to try and upgrade then ;)Quote:

It's serial code. They don't want AMD to track down and when they RMA their stuff coming back to them... HAH you overclocked this. No warranties for you!!! or even worse.Quote:

I think I'll too have to slap myself around.
:slapass:
There! That'll teach me! :mad:
the reliability is inversely proportional to the relevance! :toast:Quote:

Ozzi, you still know if Vandi has any good Newarks left?
Or if these chips will do 3ghz on air given the right cpu?
anyone know where to get one in the uk?
Anybody still doubting the Venice Skt. 754 info here's are the links for the chips in AMD's Quick Reference Guide
3400+ = http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desk...=ADA3400AIK4BO
3200+ = http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desk...=ADA3200AI04BX
3000+ = http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desk...=ADA3000AIK4BX
I wanna be all over that 3400 :slobber:
So how high does it clock? what mobo are you using and did it require a bios flash?
on average, expect something like the other e6 venice based cpu's (s939 venice & s754 sempron64) do. nothing too fancy, but 2.5-2.6ghz should be sure thing.Quote:

Also iMax prolly doesn't know but the little square on the IHS is a 2D matrix serial which contains exactly the same code as the numbers on the IHS.
If you block out the serial, also block out that square. But it makes no sense, just don't block it.
At actually seems he has 2 different CPU's since I get a different readout from the barcodes.

I've only wanted to intruduce the box socket 754 and the OPN because my friend thinked it's the new Sempron.
haven't talked to him in a while, it might be best to ask him directly.. there's probably a few floating about though :toast:Quote:

how does the claw clock? if you have trouble breaking 2-2.2ghz, it might be worth it :p:
as i said...anyone know where to get one of these in the uk?:confused:
