3800+ Venice Screenies (Post #1 = FAQ)

[xxmartin]

Hummmm maybe we can hope 3ghz rock stable with watercooling

Yeah, I think so, too. IHS off, watercooling on and up to 1.65V should easily manage the 3 GHz stable.

Can't wait to get my hands on a 3800+ Venice or maybe 4000+ SanDiego.

[Charloz24]

Now we just have to wish that the 3200+ or 3000+ will not be speed binned

I don't think many here will buy the 3800+ Venice..... For 500$+ I better get something with 1meg cache....like san diego.

nice, im waiting for dual cores myself more of a bigger step rather than just a few Mhz

[eviLRuLeZ]

ok, keep us informing

[perry_78]

Where's my wallet with my card

[Ein0]

gimmi 3200+ venice plskthnx~, ill be ebaying my cpu as soon as venice comes out

[|SiLA|]

I want a 3000+ and have 3GHz on air
I'll look at the step

[Charloz24]

Now it could be nice if we can see some mem controller test 4X512MB @ 1T

[Sentential]

Guess I picked the wrong thread to look at Oh well, I still like my 640 :-/ Nice scores

u can cheer up watching what VGA he's using

agreed.

Also, I want to see if the improved mem controller can handle higher mem clocks or tighter timings compared to a Winnie or FX...

Well, I've only got 4x256 bh-5 kingston ddr, if that would work.....

[Ref]

where's the cpu coming from?

It's a CPU owned by author of this thread

[SLaY3r07]

w0w, thats a beefy chip.

[LowRun]

Dammit, i will have to stay up all night long 'cos tomorrow it will be impossible to surf XS due to every news site pointing to this thread

[s7e9h3n]

btw- they're all double sided...

Edit: Wow, it's amazing how many other posts can come in between an attempted back-to-back post for me I am referring to my bh-5 here.......

[Ref]

I hope this isn't a souped up special sample.

Wait until he benches his 3500+ Venice

[Ref]

Yeah, just test it, if it works

[trakslacker]

oh this just makes my day. woot! You know, I'd even be more than content with a Venice that could go 2.8 rock solid on Air.

Man I'm hoping that all Venice cores will be able to at least hit around 2.8, so we dont have to go on a witch hunt for a special week or stepping.

Venice cores that all can hit about 2.8(even the 3000+) + R520 + upcoming ATI enthusiast mobo + G. Skill = me being a VERY happy camper when I build a new rig this summer.

G.Skill or VX?

[krampak]

WTF with the bottom left corner of that picture? That's an adhesive?

[cupra]

deam, its look like a wonderful core to play with

[s7e9h3n]

WTF with the bottom left corner of that picture? That's an adhesive?

Yeah, and all the benchmarks on here are fake too Here's another shot of the cpu with "adhesive" on all four corners. (Just a FYI, the IHS isn't perfectly flat. The corners on these cpu's tend to be a bit higher - as in many other a64's I've seen.)

[trakslacker]

G.Skill or VX?

I'd have to go G. Skill or equivalent TCCD or TCCE or whatever high FSB, low-volt solution is the mainstay in a few months. This is b/c I am a poor college student who cant afford more than one pair of RAM. I know VX are great, but there have been several cases of them dying even within the 3.67v limits. This is where the problem comes in, as I am a CIS minor and I NEED to have my computer up and running every single day. I always have too many programming and analysis projects going to be able to have my comp go down on me, even for a day or two.

While VX may net me a bit better bandwidth overall, I simply cant afford to run the risk of any components dying on me.(yes, i understand that anything can break at any time, especially when OC'ed, but you know what I mean).

it wasn't insinuating that
