Hey guys,
Just got this in from monarch, an oem 3700+ SD.
The info is:
ADA3700DAA5BN
CABGE 0526APBW
Does anybody have one of these, or similar week 26 ones?
Problem is i can't really test it right now, b/c i am waiting on the motherboatd i want to start selling (in a few weeks). I have a short time to return this, unless I find out something good about this stepping/week. Anyone?
Thanks.
was that one of those $260 specials?
nice that's a revision E6 please post ASAP. Where'd you buy it?
ROFL read his postQuote:

Edit: You got OEM. Never mind. I ordered retail (only to see the $260 deal 2 hrs later and later the AMD slash within 48 hours).
It's a E4 processor, not E6.Quote:

what cooling? harpyboy
WC... 44C on load..... system temp is 36CQuote:

will post ss as soon as dsl speeds up.
Return while you can and get the 3800+ X2 man !
was that spi32 or prime or just getting into windows?Quote:

I'll upgrade later on anyway, i want to see if AMD is going to release x2 4000 1MB x 1MB cache. :) But if x2 clocks as good as early venices, and 2.7-2.8 is feasible and somewhat common on air, i'll go for that and just sell my SD.Quote:

better then i thought it would be so far. with some burn it should be worth the $260. sorry about the size.
cpu temp was 38c when running 2001
nice :) a different week/stepping, but pretty nice. :)
is 32M stable in this caseQuote:

Mine does 2.8ghz with 1.65v, superpi 32m stable and i played about 3hrs of BF2 last night at that speed. Cooling is a xp-90c with a high speed panaflo and temps are 36c idle, 46c load. I have a 92mm Tornado i could hook up but i can't stand the noise anymore :/. Pretty good results for my out of the box oc, i'll have more time to play with it this weekend. It's still not as good as my 0448 winchester which did 2.83ghz with 1.6v, but i'll take it.
Mine should be 0526. Monarch. I'll report fully when I get home.
I'm getting 2.7GHz at 1.57v. So hopefully there is more in it.
Oh and yah... if you're obsession with speed is based in 3d... big fat gong on getting a 3800+ X2 instead. In games it will behave more like a venice. The 1mb cache chip X2's would be a nice everything rig. But a 4400+ is sold at close to the price of 2 3700+'s which it is. So you are paying pretty well for that second core, question is if you need it, and I don't. Bring your 3d benches if you get one... and people with SD's will be happy to run circles around it! For a gamer a 3700+ is cheaper and better.. no doubt.
:fact:
it just puzzles me this way of thinking. Moving two cores onto one drop in cpu doesn't fix all of the world's issues with dual cpu setups. Would we be having this discussion so often in forums a while ago with 2 - 2.0GHz 512kb cache opterons versus a 2.2GHz 1MB chip? Hardly. Dually with one socket.
My 3700+ Sandy from NCIX should arrive today, retail box, been wondering what kind of stepping im gonna get. Can't wait :D Got it for 335cdn, pricematched CTY.ca :)
I have same stepping as thread starter (0526 apbw). I'll post my results in the San diego thread as soon as I've gotten a chance to test it.
Anyone buy a retail 3700+ from Monarch recently? I ordered mine last friday...
reading the thread almost everyone thats sharing got it from monarch and hopefully got the deal... unless they bought it a ahile ago and just didnt OC it til now... for shame! Yeah my results are a chip I got monday afternoon.
This guys has nearly the same as me (2.7@1.57v)
"i got this:
CABGE 0526 APAW
the $260 MC deal
max out at 2.75ghz at 1.62v"
It looks like I can go higher with more v too, so it looks like if you were a betting man between 2.7 and 2.8 should come between 1.55v and 1.65v. :D
Thanx, i'll wait for it. :toast:Quote:

it looks like there will be alot of different week/steppings come out of that sale. mine was in a retail plastic box with a bar code lable on it saying if removed no warranty. i've gotten both retail and oem many times but never a "oem" in a retail box. i'm happy with it and will sell my other cpus and buy a x2 3800.Quote:

is there any way to tell if a cpu is retail or oem?
I also got a week 26. From the intial results seen on this thread I'm not thinking I'll be able to get much out of it. I was hoping for at least 2750 on stock or close to stock volts. Oh well - I'll test it next week ...
2500 @ stock 1.4vcore (undervolts to 1.36v). I bumped to 1.39v and am testing more now.
First 30 minutes results
Short answer- Probably an average to slightly above average San Diego.
Long answer- Better than my 2 "weaker" venices (week 16 and 24, 3000+) but not as good as my 2 "stronger" venices (week 15 and 20, 3200+). Runs as cool if not a little cooler than the coolest venice I've used (that's probably the week 15... with xp-120, alumina, and a 60cfm fan in a 88*F room, DFI board reads 38*C @ prime Small fft load @ 2672 1.52vcore). I guess this will Probably wind up being either a 2800mhz on xp-120/60cfm chip or fall just a bit short (2766-2775).
EDIT: went from 1.52v to 1.66v and temps went up ONE degree. With venice temps went up 5-10 degrees with the same jump. (~1.6v+ was where voltage REALLY started heating my venices up.) I'd assume the larger die area of a san diego accounts for the ability to diffuse the increased heat so much better... but that's really just a guess. Either way, it looks like I got a very very well attached heatspreader with this one.
New post for big development.
Priming @ 2800mhz 1.65vcore (same as my 3200+ week 15) now. About 25 minutes in so far. I've found if you make it to 30 minutes, usually 1 hr, 3 hr and 8 hr are the only places you need to worry about (though once or twice I've seen 12 hr and 18hr errors). I suspect I'll need a bump to 1.675v to completely stabalize it @ 2800mhz, but that should be no problem at all. Temps are 45-47*C @ small fft Prime load where I am now.

I don't usually do this, but I figured what the hell. Set voltage to ~1.8vcore and booted into windows, Set myself to 3ghz and took a screenshot. This is on a damaged (several bent fins due to a dothan mod) xp-120 with a Panaflo L1A 120mm (62cfm I think).

yeah, 1.8 is too much, but after a good burn in and an upgrade in cooling, i am sure you can do about 2.9 at 1.7v. Not too bad.
