AMD Newark 3700+ @ 3105.1MHz Air-Cooled

[ozzimark]

All right, I just got this in today, and ran some tests. First are screens, the next post will be benches comparing my 3200+ clawhammer to my 3700+ newark with both at 2.0ghz, same settings for ram.

I tested the msi k8n neo platinum first. it booted with bios 1.6 with no problem. was at 2.4ghz, and 1.36v in the bios, which makes me think it defaulted to 1.4v instead of the 1.35v it should have been. One quirk to be aware of: I didn't see any option for Command Rate in the bios, and it defaults to 2T. once in windows, i switched to 1T without a problem and managed to run windows memtest for a while until i decided 1T wasn't about to kill anything

next up, then main rig's mobo, the dfi lanparty ut-nf3. it booted at 200x4 and .9v at first. i manually set it to 200x12 and 1.35v. curiously, i got a raid detect screen before getting into memtest. slightly confused, i went back to the bios and loaded optimized defaults, saved, then went back in and set everything i needed to set. it works!

below i have some screens attached of the core in operation, and in a few minutes i should have a post with the comparison between clawhammer and newark
(i especially like the "venice" label given by CBID!)


also, Vandi423 deserves recognition, as if it wasn't for him, this post wouldn't be here.



EDIT!
so that you guys don't have to dig through the thread, i'll keep this screen updated with my max suicide shot
