Unlocked Venice 3000+

[TiN_]

A BIG Thanks to njkid32 for his priceless help, I'll keep process going on real hardware rig. Also Steff will send to me dead 3500+'s (one of it NewCastle), both naked, so I will try to disassemble one of them to examine every layer of it's PCB, and I will play with voltages on other one CPU with njkid32's mobo.

not priceless, the mobo costs $130

And on the amd fourms.

In our region, even country it is priceless, because of NONE of DFI distributors here.

But enough offtop. I'm go to bed right now,

"4rory's Athlon 64 XSE" I love that way that sounds !

I just called amd and waited 20mins on hold to talk to tech support about a having an unlocked venice, to see what they would say, to get any possible info, I was trying to say I was scared it was going to break and wanted to know exactly what was wrong with it and how this could happen ect... but I got some dumb a** chick who just kept telling me AMD64's dont have multis or fsb. so i told her htt, she just kept repeating
"Amd 64 bit processors dont's have fsb or multipleirs they have intergrated memory controllers" or something like that, sound as if she was just reading it.

I would keep trying calling back to maybe get someone at amd that atcually knew something or could point us in right direction anything really, but it costs to much from here my 1 hour on the phone might be pretty expensive lol.

Maybe someone can cleverly bring up jtags if they get a senoir tech support person or something... see what he says.

VERRYYYYYYY useful info (for nordinary ppl at least ;-) )

thanx this just gave me an idea...

Voltage and frequency @ AUTO in bios to get this dump. Time to reboot to set this back to 3Ghz

Here's a venice 3200+ at 10x250MHz.

the ultra-d has a debug connector

FYI that is not a debug connector it is an un soldered header for the FrontX status LED's on the SLI board, they just dont include FrontX in there lower end boards so do not put the pins on.

Yes, AMD requires all Opteron (probably uniprocessor AMD64 too) mainboards have the "JTAG" debugging circuits so AMD's Hardware Debug Tool (HDT - requies a host with MS Windows 2000/XP & NDA) will run on them. Any Opteron mainboard without "JTAG" circuits would have to be developed without AMD's support, so such mainboards probably don't exist.

THIS LOOKS PROMISING...

but its way over my head....

Well here is the mobo I am sending--- I also circled where the ic's are missing. LOL damn sealstring!

I have wanted to put the pins on since I got it. I have a d-bracket that I used with my MSI Neo4 so I only need the f* pins to use it! But I don't feel like messing up my mobo just to get some external leds

there's no DFI dealers in my country.

Enough offtopic, bed time.

hahaha

Daved+ you should just be able to go get some posts from a Electronics store and solder them on, i thought about it with that board B4 its was fried by a bad PS

Back on topic:
I have JTAG log file with some AMD command set info, again i cant make anything of it, but the holy lords of GURU shall prevail.

[i found nemo]

would this work for 754?????

one dump is @ 2.46ghz second dump is @ 1.8ghz (stock) clawhammer cg revision

here is a file explaining AMD/Fujitsu standard command set referenced in the JTAG log

[Acrazar]

What about BSLD files? while doing research on JTAG so i could kinda understand what was going on BSDL poped up, found these on AMD's site, still looking for more, they seem to have them out only for K6 chips.

Still looking

[Acrazar]

well that was odd, i was about to run a bench and i had just cranked up all my settings in clockgen and the like when corecenter (MSI monitoring app) suddenly showed a FID of 11.5 for like 15 sec than went right back down to 9, tried to recreate it but failed, did my FID really jump or was it simply a software artifact?

than why does it say "DEBUG" ???

[KoHaN69]

Here's a pic of SLI-DR board.

Ok?


give us your cpu dump, that would help more

@Dave+
There are many people from many countries here at XS.
Many of them are not using the English language as their native language.

Also we have the time Zones.

So when is early morning in Ukraine its midnight here in Stockholm.
People from New York has just arrived home from work.
In San Fransisco they are still at work.

Just a thought, that we should treat all members with respect.

Why do you think english is my native language? I was born and live in Argentina, I speak spanish and it's 4:30am here.

I never thought anyone including me wasn't respectful here.

[largon]

KoHaN69,
That's the connector for DFI's "R" boards Front-X display. It allows the debug leds to be moved into a 3.5" housing.

Edit: Hmm. Actually it's for 5.25” drive bay.

Thanks. I could just take one off from a dead mobo but I don't know if both onboard leds and external leds will work at the same time, will they?

[xfxlover]

i know i was reading over at overclock.net some1 was getting newarks beofre they had been released from a amd techiem so can we find out who he was getting them off, and maybe get cpu programming software from him/her or even a clue of where to lokk ????????

[Acrazar]

david+ they did on my lanparty NF2 and i know the LP sli board uses both, i doubt they took the effort to do anything other than not solder the pins.

back to topic:

i have only been a part of this post for about 1 week and a half now and i know how anxious i was last night when it seemed that we were on the verge of cracking this, but lets just remember that we are all going for the same thing here and the more info we can get to the ppl who can use it the better, that said i have a class to get to but ill be back at work il a couple hours.
