Yeah, I got WC. And I'm very voltage-happy, unlike (cf)Eclipse/ozzimark.Quote:

omg - are the 3 ghz not that magic anymore???
soooo nice oc!
is this the cpu you guys are talking about here?
The Egg
I would like to buy this one here but if the one you guys are using then ima get me one of those.
This one has 1m cache and all that but labaled claw DTR, sry if noob question but im new to all this a64 stuffs and Rabbi from DFI Street sent me here to try and pick one of these cpu's up for the new rig im building.
Also what cooler should I use if I get this chip, I wanna be able to hit 2.7-2.8 or maybe even 3+ if possible with my speed premiums if at all possible, the fsb is all i know so far so this HTT is gonna be new to me also :)
This is a learning process for me and this is my first of many posts here
no that isnt it. I dont think any retail chain sells them yet :confused: For cooling a xp90c will be best :)Quote:

thnx btw
U have a good link to get a 90c cheap the egg has em for 66 bux man thats insane i saw someone before had em 3999 now thats more like it.
iirc, they are $45 at svc. If you dont care about 2 degrees, then get a xp90 for $25.Quote:

Still waiting for this DFI RMA to get moving.
I'm about ready to buy that Soltek board. At this rate, it'll be here before I have a chance to ship this DFI out....
I don't know about exact temp differences, but I've used both the XP-90 and XP-90C, and where the XP-90 gave me "CPU variation error" at 2800mhz (assuming it didn't crash outright), the XP-90C is squeezing out 2840-2850mhz depending on ambient ;)Quote:

i think hipro posted an article once how different termal grease changes its effectiveness after some time...
:( I'm curious what your chip does. #91 and #92 did about the same.Quote:

I'm also anxious to see how it will do, which makes waiting suck 10x more. :(
P.S. Did you see my post on PCPerpective about the XP-90?
I've got everything. My X850 XTPE was DOA, so I shipped that back to Newegg today for a replacement. My plan was to voltmod the card and experiment a little bit with settings before I publish my thread. If I run out of patience, I just might start overclocking this weekend with a crappy AGP card. ;)
Keep those prayers and chants coming. :D
I don't have time to install it yet. If nobody takes it from you then you can count on me. I really wanted the copper version mainly because of the way it looks though. :DQuote:

im interested in hearing about this chip/price if i could speak with ya by aol please let me know thanx aim name leo5222
The XP-90C and XP-90 mount the same way, with their spring clips, so there was no variation there. Both had fresh applications of AS5. The reason the XP-90C won out was b/c it could cope with the volts better ;)Quote:

:up:
thats why....Quote:

BTW of coolers: There is great boom on Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 (or 4 and 7). It is a very powerful cooler and even disipates heat someway better than XP-90 and cost below 20$ :banana:
deleted
do u think the freezer will cool better than a 90c and a 92mm tornado?
Im in the checkout lane now and also about to make a but from vandi also
Let me know before i buy plz
so far im at about 1200 dollars so the additional 20 bux isnt really that big of a deal, but the temps are what im after
i want low at 3ghz :P
nvm now im waiting on vandi to pm me with info so i can be newest one to order me a 3700 also :)
Just Got Thermaltake Tsunami case retail
ATI brand AIW X800XT retail

and waiting on vandi for my 3700 and im good
Just got the card in the mail not even 15 mins ago and now its almost empty
had 1800 blew 1400 With the quickness
CMon Vandi My whole exhistance is depending on YOU!!!
LOL How lucky are my kids
the pc in my sig is going to the kids room
for a runescape machine :( and a folder
Kids dont barely even know how to use a pc yet
there 9, 8, 7, 3, and 4 months :) and their pc is a beast.
If they only knew the countless hours and frustration lvls that went into what there gonna destroy in few short months.
is the 3700 default to 2.2 or 2.4?
I wanna bench it at defaults before i start to crank up the heat a bit
see how much beter perfrmance it is default\smokin
2.4GHz 1MB Cache
12x Multiplier
1.35v vcore
Rev. E SSE3
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this;
I couldn't figure out why it won't boot the first attempt, just a loop of long beeps. That is, until I took out one of the two 512MB memory sticks. Now it's going.
So the question is, because the BIOS defaults to 0.9v with this CPU, is 2X512MB RAM too much for the mem controller to handle in the first POST attempt?
Sorry if this has been covered, just thought I'd pass this along so no one else wastes an hour or two...
Try putting both memory modules in the two slots closest to the CPU socket.
im soo tired and have finals tomorrow but wanna wait to see if this resolves this prob, cause im sure ill have same when i get all my stuffz
Me and Xeno have basically same pc except i have AIW x800xt
and his psu sais pot modded, plus mines gonna have shipped bios instead of tic's
200x4 too. it wasn't a problem for me. you just have to make sure you have your async latency exactly right. too high or too low = no windows for me. :stick:Quote:

It should. For whatever reason, revision E doesn't seem to like anything in slot 3. Winchester didn't like memory in slot 1 (would result in no boot). And my desktop Newcastle refused to work with memory in slots 2 & 3.
Seems like each memory controller has it's own little quirks. :)
EDIT: ozzi, you can get three sticks working w/Newark?
Memslots 1+3, that's what I had, because thats what worked best with my Newcastle. Just tried it again with slots 1+3, no POST. Swapped them into Slots 1+2 and it fired right up.
Interesting. So it looks like the CPU's memory controller determines what slots work best. I always was under the impression that the mobo/BIOS played more into that...
the new bios fixes that issue, i just tested it :D
and yes, i need to run at 2T though.. that was on the k8n neo however.. haven't messed around with it much on the dfi, also, i have two double sided sticks and three single :slapass:
edit, so it's two double and one single that i got working
hej,
@ozzimark:
Since you have your DFI can you run 1T timings much higher than your MSI k8n neo plat...
If I go higher than 420mhz on 1T timings It's rock stable and I can run 32M test and game as long as I want but when I start doing regular pc stuff (msn, internet, music) it just's reboots...
but better than 35s on this cpu won't be possible, another reason to upgrade ;)
Xyus
well actually... with the clawhammer, i couldn't run over ~235mhz, no matter what. even with 2T. memtest would just randomly lock up. i could get into windows, but it'll randomly reboot at times, never could figure out why.
and the dfi and msi both had the same limit with two sticks in. :p:
now it doesn't do that anymore. :banana:
wow. impressive. i guess my mobo really is kickass :D
maybe ;)
It depends on your Ram, cpu, rev, bios version...
if it were al so easy ;)
Xyus
Are you able to run @ high memory speeds with 1gb (512mb x 2) of double sided memory such as 250mhz 1/1 2-2-2 1T? I can't with my setup and I believe it is because my 3000+'s memory controller is terrible. I can run 250mhz 1/1 1T 2-2-2 with a single 512mb BH-5 stick but with 512mb x 2 memtest gives me errors at any speed/timings no matter the slot configuration. I might buy one of these if I can run 1gb (512mb x 2) double sided @ 250mhz 2-2-2 1T 1/1 no problem in my DFI Lanparty Nf3 250gb.
i don't have two doible sided sticks of bh-5, but my 512mb sticks of ballistix can make it to 260mhz with a bit of tweaking. i'm fairly certain that this is the limit of the ram, and not the memory controller.
before i could only do ~235mhz with both sticks in :stick:
So has everyone here who has one gotten it from Vandi? I PMd him asking about the details, but can the Newarks/Lanchasters be found anywhere yet? I was thinking of dumping my 3400 CG clawhammer for a 939 setup, but if Newarks and Lanchasters are really around the corner, I might just wait. Anyone order one from the link posted before (forget the store's name)? Or does everyone just get it from Vandi.
Great results though, I'm relly looking forward to these chips going mainstream!
2940.08MHz - CPU-Z Verified
I did this several hours ago. It's a terribly hot day in Southern California and my air-conditioning unit has been dead for the last two weeks. 2940.08MHz on hot air with BIOS CPU Voltage set to 1.550V + 4% isn't too shabby. I passed SuperPI 1M at this speed.
The BIOS my board shipped with was a no go. I had to flash over to 5/4 Official to get passed the initial boot screen. I'll be seriously testing this thing starting on Monday. I think this thing has potential if it can reach just 60MHz shy of the 3G mark on a hot 85F day. ;)
Stay tuned for my thread next week, folks. :D
Wow maybe 3GHz is possible with some water. It's been 100F+ where I live and it sucks! I can't even turn on my Opterons because my room gets too damn HOT.Quote:

Saaya will be getting a slightly different Newark. I hope his does better. The core looked a little different then the rest that I've seen.
Can't wait for your thread Conrad!
EDIT: Conrad's Adventures In Overclocking ยท Coming May 30th To A Thread Near You :ROTF:
It'll definitely be an adventure for me considering I've been out of the game for a few months. On top of that, this will be my first time to bench with sub-zero cooling. When I met up with chilly1 this morning, I tried to get as much info as I could on liquid nitrogen cooling. I'll be torturing my 3700+ and X850 XTPE with some LN2 soon - hopefully by next month. :D
Oh man those are amazing numbers for the temperature Conrad... sheeeet those are just amazing numbers for ANY air cooling!
From your quick tests, how does the VX like the new memory controller? :)
I haven't really played with it yet - I only had about an one hour to really test today. I just have one 512MB of VX in place since you can't fit two with the DDR Booster. If I have some time tomorrow, I'll insert both modules and just tweak up the rail voltage.
I'm thinking about one of these for my MSI K8N Neo Platinum....do you think this would be a good idea? I know ozzi had issues with the voltage, but at least it booted and ran fine at stock...
I just want some more headroom on my CPU as my current Claw is a little lack luster, and also my memory wants to spready it's wings and fly. :D Damn claw's and their restrictive memory controllers...
nice conrad. it appears that we have very similar chips :DQuote:

i'm definitly anticipating your results with phase. :toast:
tsue, the step up from a 2.35ghz clawhammer to a 2.8ghz newark is a big one, however... i'm not sure if it's really worth the money ;)
this is one hell of an achievement for s754, cant w8 till the summer when i can save up for one of these and put it under my w/c im building :D
when are these released?

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...id=30956&stc=1
I'll be back... :banana:
My DFI motherboard is defective and will be shipped back to Newegg tomorrow morning for a replacement. The board will not boot up without the DDR Booster installed in DIMM slot 3. I've relocated the RAM to all possible locations using different types of memory. I've tried all Official and Beta BIOS releases with no luck. One module, two modules - it just won't boot without the DDR Booster. Five hours of my Sunday down the drain. Just lovely. :rolleyes:
At the rate things are going, I don't think I'll be completely done testing until June 4th. I'm just hoping my Adventures In Overclocking don't end up becoming Frustrations In Overclocking. :rolleyes:
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just plug in my phase change units and cool off my hot head for a few minutes. :p:
Sorry to hear that Conrad. :( I was really looking forward to your Newark o/c thread. This overclocking stuff can be like a sport unto itself; oh the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. I'm sure your luck will bounce back...
UPDATE:
My Newarks seems to scale the same as Ozzi's;
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...chmentid=30959
Ozzi, my Newark doesn't seem to like high HTT at all. 275HTT X 11 (3.025GHz) and I get memtest errors and BSOD. 252 X 12 (3.024GHz) w/ everything remaining constant, I get no memtest errors and Windows seems to boot up fine (my HT is 2.5 so it's not that). I can't remember if you experienced this or not... to lazy to look back through LOL.
This seems to be the case with many San Diego's I've seem as well.
Hope to have a 3GHz screen shot soon...
damn that sucks, at least 254 isnt that bad tho, and you got a nice multi at least, that helps make up for it. IIRC didnt some early winnie's also wall around 250?Quote:

With water, I'm able to keep a cool 35C (loaded) @ 2.92GHz, so temps don't appear to be the problem. :p:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...id=30963&stc=1
xeno, yours seems to be a bit better than mine. might be because of the water though :toast:
also, it seems that the memory controller is pickier than a spoiled 8 year old :p:
i'm sure you remember how in the beginning of the thread, i couldn't get over 210mhz.. bascially it comes down to relearning how to overclock ram :slap:
conrad: :(
would looser timings allow higher maybe? im new to the 64 bity ocing stuff so im askin questions in advance so i know what to look for when my stuff arrives :)
also vandi for some reason Pay Pal hasnt depositted the cash into my account yet, when they do ull have some cash bro :)
I cant waut man, hoping that on air i can atleas tpull in 2.8
but if i do im sure ill give 3 a run aswell
lol a comment earlier said we have to RE learn how to oc , as far as 64's go i have to learn period.
no, i actually had to tighten some things down to boot at 200mhz :slapass:
Exactly. loosening the timings was the first thing i tried. But Ironically, it made things worse. 3GHz got BSOD at any HTT, vcore, or vdimm w/ loose timings.Quote:

That may be my next step. I was hoping not to have to do that since it's a pain in my azz to shuffle between dimm slots because of the way my RAM's cooling fans ar mounted. :dammit:
Nice!! Were 2.6GHz @ 1.35v and 2.8GHz @ 1.45v P95 and 3D stable? This is exactly what I'm looking for, I'd be stoked if my chip could do 2.8GHz with 1.4-1.45v. :)
i hope mine can :)
If i ever get the dam thing i officially hate pay pal :)
The stress lvls of having all the other parts and the cpu not being here is killing me man. This sucks
I hear ya. Except it's the other way around for me. I have the CPU, just need a mobo, lol. :P
I haven't used prime yet, trying to see how high it will go with just 2MB SuperPI, and then plan to prime from there.
Tried the official 5/4 bios and it allowed me to use dimm slots 1+3 again, but saw no improvement. Still terribly unstable at anything over 2.926GHz no matter what the vcore.
I found an amazing thing with this CPU. It just went memtest error free for an hour at 3.192GHz (266x12, 1.675v) with the 9:10 divider on memory (228MHz, 2-2-2 1T, 3.1v). But still no joy in Windows a megahert above 2.926GHz.
Oh well, i'll try some more tomorrow... maybe I'll put my TCCD in to see if it'll help get it stable @ the magic number LOL.
i did that too. i have about an extra 100mhz in superpi than i do in prime95 :(Quote:

Eventhough i know not every peice of hardwars reacts the same, I just have to have some hope for mine.
At first i was kinda sceptical of building a new pc based on older 754 technology, but now its startin to feel like i made the right move. I hope
You guys think its worth it to go from a 3400+ CG Clawhammer to this? My Claw can OC decently under my water setup (I can get up to 2.6ghz, but not stable) but this is just so tempting. I'm debating getting one of these if I could get it up to 3ghz stable or so, but maybe thats asking too much. Any opinions? I'm not good with decisions, so help me out lol.
Well, i might as well tell y'all what I tried today to kick start this up to 3g's. Since I feel pretty confident it's the mem controller holding everything back, I tried these mem configs to see if the spoiled little brat wanted to finally play nice:
1x512 Twinmos SP UTT @2-2-2-1T-interleave-level 2-async 0.7ns
1x512 Twinmos SP @2-2-2-1T-interleave-auto-auto
1x512 Twinmos SP @2-2-2-2T-no interleave-auto-auto
1x512 Twinmos SP @2.5-3-3-2T-no interleave-auto-auto
2x512 PDP XBL TCCD @2-2-2-1T-interleave-level 1-async 0.7ns
1x512 PDP XBL @2-2-2-1T-interleave-level 1-async 0.7ns
1x512 PDP XBL @2.5-3-3-2T-no interleave-auto-auto
I tested each w/ memtest to rule out any memory idiosyncrasies. Tried lowering vcore a notch or two so by some outside chance I could duplicate the success of some San Diego owners I've seen...
All the above were met with a blue screen at Windows startup (or shortly there after) at anything above 2.926Gz.
Again, the amazing thing is it could go all day long error free ~3.2GHz/1.67v in memtest. I know, don't trust memtest, but I can tell by my Aquagate temp probe it's putting a good amount of stress on the CPU's mem controller. Windows must really do a job on memory access/allocation... should I be surprised LOL?
And again, temps aren't even close to being an issue since water is keeping this chip at a relatively cool 39C after (2hrs so far) of priming at 2.926GHz. The Aquagate probe doesn't go above 35.2C, thats below body temp LOL.
Simply mind blowing how defined my chip's ceiling is... 2.926GHz prime stable (so far) and 2938MHz gives BSOD... :hm:
I'm not disappointed ~2.9GHz is nothing to scoff at... just wish I could have got to the magic 3g's LOL. With Ozzi's, so far we're 1 for 2... hope others will report their success.
well so far i have my mobo fort530 in the tower with the AIW x800xt still boxed, i just ordered my cpu today and its paid for but pay pal is being gay and makin me wait for check to clear, so i guess within next week ill post some of my success or downfalls, im gonna be on air but some good air, i have a tsunami with 2 120s and a 92 on the side and im running 90c with tornado and ceramique so im hopin i can acheive some decent temps with all this stuff, only think missing still is the raptor and newark 3700 then ill be gleefull, hell i might even hook the old lady up with a dinner night or something.
Nah nvm that ill be in benchin all dam night fauk her :P
If it makes you feel any better, ozzimark's ambient air was amzingly cold. I'll give you guys 3.0GHz on air when my replacement hardware gets back. :DQuote:

Can you do 10x300MHz and use a memory divider?
No. I thought a higher HTT would be harder on the controller. Though, I did use 12x250 with the 183 divider just to rule out the RAM.
I'll try 10x300 with the 150 divider and see what I get.
If anybody else has any other tips, lets hear it... :banana:
Bump up your chipset voltage. :D
Already have it @ 1.8v. ;)
Got a suicide screeny :woot:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...id=31072&stc=1
EDIT: SuperPI locked as soon as I tried it. At least I'm going in the right direction.
Thanks conrad. :toast:
Just .04MHz to go and it's official. :lol:
Just tried 1.7v and the system froze up again trying to run SuperPI.
EDIT: Tried 1.72v and get BSOD right away again. It seems to reach a point where higher vcore is futile.
Yes, sir. Our chips are twins separated at birth. :p:Quote:

The thermal compound was smooshed and spread evenly throughout the core, thus verifying that contact between the heatsink and core was good. So if you had any reservations as far as purchasing an XP-90C is concerned, I'd just go ahead and buy one. I'm guessing Thermalright made modifications to the tension clips on the copper version, or the Newark just has an added 1mm or 2mm to its overall height. I'm guessing it's the former.
seems like your voltage threshold is a bit higher than mine, i'm assuming because of water's ability to remove more heat ;)Quote:

also, since your cpu is so similar to mine (all three of ours actually), i'll probably know whether or not i get a cold bug from your testing. hopefully that single phase unit you've got won't get the temp below the core's limit :D
Congratulations xenolith! :toast: Yea, that is really suicide snapshot! :clap: By the way I found one mistake. Your processor is based on E5 revision not E3. try the latest build of CBId!
the revision is blank now :(
(though i'm liking that PR number :D)
Thanks VVJ. Now if i can only get it to at least do PI. ;)
I'm going to change out the screws, springs, and temp probe with more "sensitive" ones than those that came with the water block later tonight when I get home. I can't help but think the block isn't fully seated right, possibly causing a hot spot. And then again, I might just be paranoid. :para:
I'll try upping the agp voltage too, thanks conrad.
ozzimark
The bug has been fixed! :) And the next version will be uploaded this evening at 17:00 GMT. The bug occurred while developing network features in CBId. Now you can get a snapshot of the current state of the AMD processor of the remote host in the network. Helpful for hackers, administrators and especially for overclockers :D
xenolith Thanks for using CBId! Your result is really amazing! Could you give me permission to add the that screenshot to my extreme screenshot collection at the website?
Sure. I'd be honored. :toast:Quote:

:thumbsup: :toast:
thanks for the quick fix VVJ :)
ozzi, remember at one point you had problems with the dividers on your DFI. You didn't elaborate. Did the problems you had involve the 166:200(5/6) divider? And did the problems you had go away with the 5/4 bios?
At any HTT at all, I get BSOD and endless errors in memtest #5 using the 166 divider. I tested this with the 4/15 bios and I get the same thing.
Also, 300x10 is the only way i can get Windows to boot (albeit unstable) with the 5/4 bios. With 4/15, all the multi's worked.
Me thinks the bios still needs work.
nah, it's a ram/board issue that happened with my clawhammer too. i actually haven't given it much testing with the new bios.
basically what happens is that my HTT limit on the board is the same speed as however fast my ram can go with the timings i'm using when i have both sticks in.
for some examples:
at 2.5-2-2-10, i can get to around 245mhz 1:1, but when i drop to 5:6, i can still only get to 245mhz, but with the ram being ~200mhz, depending on the cpu multiplier. same thing for other dividers :(
however, if i take out one stick, i can easily do 300mhz with ram dividers :confused:
basically, i just don't worry about it anymore, as i have a 12x multi to work with, so i never need ram dividers anymore :toast:
That's the spirit ozzi, we gotta work with what we have...
I wanted to go with 290x10 as my final o/c, but it looks like the 166 divider isn't going to let me. And as time passes the bios updates are probably going to become fewer and fewer.
Second choice was 325x9, but OCCT fails, so it looks like it's going to be 242x12 since it's the only one so far that's passing OCCT and prime. :woot:
it's good enough, though talking about this, i wanna test that out again.
also, i'm having more and more trouble getting my ram to run at 200mhz, to the point where i'm leaving my rig at 220x11, 1.275v and 2.5-2-2-10 timings. i think my ballistix might be dying on me, not liking 2-2-2 :(
That sucks. Is it under warranty? :(
DFI received my board today. With any luck, I'll have the new motherboard early next week. Can't wait to see what this 3700+ can do. ;)
yah me too dam pay pal is saying that it wont be able to clear my money until june the $#Kin 9th, man that makes me sick, by the time i get this cpu there will be a nf5 mobo out :) and all this stuff i just ordered will be outdated :(
Don't worry Phil, you'll still have a kick-azz setup. The wait will be worth it... :toast:
Sorry for crapping this thread, but I just had to share the warm, fuzzy feeling that I have. :D
