how came ?most do ?
how do i know if will lock agp/pci? there are more revision ?

[andyOCZ]

I heard that the A8V has not been officially released by ASUS USA due to an "issue" with the boards. Seems many of the early ones are being imported directly form europe or Asia and do not have a working PCI lock. I am waiting, and will probably go NF3.

A64 3000+ BOX



On air, but tempereture is very high - 75C. No Vmods.
I'm making a w/c system to cool it
Memory works at 2.5v. 2.5v or 2.9v - no difference for it.

Wow really nice OC Dimdirol, really high temps though you have a 2 in 1 machine computer/broiler cook some eggs for breakfeast while you read your daily morning news. Which air cooler are you running stock?

[Dimdirol]

=[PULSAR]= yes, stock cooler.

What is "LDT" I wonder? Is it a kind of multiplier for HT bus? With LDT 3x I can run CPU only @ 2500, but with LDT 2,5x I can jump a bit higher - 2550mhz

[=[PULSAR]=]

Yes, LDT is the multiplier for the HT bus. Can you lower it past 2.5 at all, lower it some more and try for a higher OC. =0)

Hello.

I need awesome OC'ing steppings for A64 3200+ S754 ClawHammer CG CPU. I wanna get the best of both worlds - Great OC'ing capability of the CG's, and great performance of the 1Mb cache of the ClawHammers (I prefer that on the 2.2Ghz speed of the NewCastles), means I should get ClawHammer CG CPU. Please write the full stepping and the week. Must clock extremely-well and have to be CG rev.

Regards,
Roy

Jeeze with these newcastles rolling out they are really a great overclocking chip, I just wish I could find newcastle core on a mobile chip. Low wattage output and a better overclocking core this would be the chip to get. After seeing this 3000+ do 2550 on stock air and 1.68 vcore. I cant even imagine one with high end cooling and a board with high vcore maybe paired with the new Abit that has a agp/pci lock and 1.85 vcore. Just a little bit more money until I am able to experiment. Only $69 to go until I'm happy.

[Mariachi]

You mean mobiles/DTR or NewCastle?
Anyway I ordered a 3200+ CH CG without a specific stepping, I just know the CG's are awesome OCers and the 1mb cache adds alot to the performance - so I get the best of both worlds.

[shimmishim]

so it appears these CG newcastles are really good overclockers.

i haven't been keeping up with this thread since about april, but what is the best skt 754 board at the moment?

still the shuttle an50r?

[=[PULSAR]=]

Personally I think its Abit's new KV8 Pro. Supposibly it has a workin agp/pci lock and vcore up to 1.85. I'm ordering the board soon to give it a try.

3100+ ??

[nutcase]

since I have not seen anything on the Abit AV8 Mobo, Thought I would Post what I have been able to do right now...

This Board needs a Vdimm Mod.. 2.8V just don't cut it

Ignore the Bottom Pifast score.. That is me Playing with The_Lab Pifast which uses Pifast43. was seeing the difference between the 2 Pifast's...

[krojczy]

Hey boys, i have one question. Where did you bought yours a64 at CG steeping. Pleas give my some links to online stores.

That might be a first AMD sample. If you see the date (0321)... thats one of the first ones.

[kakaroto]

Does anyone have a 3400+ Newcastle 2400MHz CPU and tested??

Mine is coming soon this or next week:

Okay well I got my Abit KV8 Pro today and got everything hooked up suprisingly it did have a working lock on it. I'm testing it with a 3000+ Clawhammer. Its nice to have 1.85 vcore but I need a nicer heatsink all I got for now is stock. At bios idle with 1.85 it reads 71C. I'll post overclocking results later.

[=[PULSAR]=]

Well I think a KV8 Pro is a great board with all the options. I think the bottleneck in my overclocking attempt is the processor. My max benchable OC was 2.4Ghz @ 1.7V. The stock CPU heatsink isnt helping niether is the passive chipset heatsink it was getting really hot during benchmarks. I will post again when I get my 3000+ NewCastle and Thermaltake Tower112.

sweet mother...

i can't get higher than 2.6 on my skt 754 3200+ newcastle...

all i ask for is 2.8... is that too much?

[spellsfromhell]

280x10 @ 1.7vcore, boots into windows but not prime stable

[Mariachi]

That's a really new chip... Congrats. Temps?
