AMD Single-Channel World Record: 3516.66MHz - Conrad's Socket 754 Monster

[conrad.maranan]

POST #112 IS WHERE THE 3516.66MHz SCREENSHOT IS LOCATED



A very big thank you to chilly1 for hooking me up with a kick-butt cooling solution for my new daily gamer. And a special thanks to Vandi423 for providing me with the CPU used in this system.

I have experienced more than a fair share of set backs in order to get this system up and running. But it's up now and it sure is running. I broke everything down last night for final re-assembly inside of its case tomorrow. Hopefully, this system can put up some nice 3DMark scores.

chilly1 Custom Phase Change Systems
DFI LANParty UT nF3 250Gb (5/04 4.0VDIMM BIOS)
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (Newark)
Sapphire Radeon X850XT Platinum Edition
OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Gold VX (2x512MB)
OCZ PowerStream 600W Power Supply Unit
Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA HDD

Under load, the CPU evap block holds a steady -35C. I'll be experimenting with DI and LN2 next month, so I'm hoping that there's a little bit more to be had from this chip.

Very nice!
however, some pics don't work

[fatfreepork]

hey i saw your submission right after mine yesterday. very very nice!

[bachus_anonym]

Damn, Conrad! SuperPi 32M @ 3253Mhz... That's what I like to see
But it looks like S754 is getting it's butt kicked by S939 in that benchie

Great to see you back in action, bro... With a bang!!! :thumbsup:

[mr_knowitall15]

:That's what I like to see
But it looks like S754 is getting it's butt kicked by S939 in that benchie

prolly cuz of the single channel memory.

[afireinside]

Wow very nice conrad
How much are those newark chips?

[conrad.maranan]

Socket 939 is always going to knock the socks off of 754 when it comes to memory-intensive applications. I may or may not purchase another 3700+ Newark. If I decide to travel a different route, it'll probably be a Dothan chip up next to bat. We'll see.

afireinside - hit up Vandi423 via PM. He was my source for this CPU.

[MaxxxRacer]

looking good conrad. that system has been a long time in the making.

[EMC2]

See you survived the traditional shoe

Nice to see you going at it again bro

[A Scream]

some nice scores! :beer:

[TMM]

any idea what the broken chips on the cpu actually do? Im assuming theyd be some kind of capacitor/something else to smooth the vcore?

[conrad.maranan]

Thanks for all of the support, everyone.

Initially, I was under the impression that those little chips governed cache, but I honestly do not know what they have anything to do with. My first tests in air-cooled trim was leading me to believe that something was seriously wrong with my CPU because I would sit in the Windows splash/loading screen for a full 60 seconds before making it into the GUI. I later discovered that the load delays were caused by a faulty IDE cable.

I will run some Sandra Cache tests tomorrow to compare scores against ozzimark's 3700+. If I have some time before work, I'll run some 3DMark with the card unmodded or air, and then with full VMODs hooked up to the phase change unit.

By the way, is Epsilon's frequency of 3409.48MHz the world record for Socket 754? I just want to know what to aim for.

So that's the monster you're gonna use against the lime green pie thieves Nice

Hope to see you get that 3409 and more I'm impressed as it is at what these things can do on air, let alone on p/c.

Let's wait until Conrad plays with some copper containers I smell new S754 suicide-screenie WR then

BTW... Those are resistor packs

[ozzimark]

nice conrad! i'm glad to see you finally get your own thread on this awesome chip
(i'll probably have another go at things now that i have water.. but ambient temp is up to like.. 25c )

[[XC] moddolicous]

Nice Conrad. Hope that will be crunching. Finally got my daily to 200+, so I'm happy. Can’t wait to see your results with LN2 or DI. Hoping for SPI 1m 3500 stable.

[Playful_Buffalo]

nice work conrad

[conrad.maranan]

ozzimark - Just keep on pushin' it, bro. Slap a peltier under that block and see what you can pull out of it.

3450MHz with dry ice and 3650MHz with liquid nitrogen would be sweet. I'm hoping I can hit those numbers with some chilly1 tubes next month. As far as using this for D2OL crunching, can you just imagine what my electric bill would look like?

On a side note, I needed 1.8V on the chipset for all of those runs and screenshots. The DFI factory heatsink gets blistering hot. I positioned a 92mm Sunon over the sink and that seemed to work wonders considering I was able to leave my finger on top of the heatsink. I found some brand new 120mm Sanyo Denki fans in my drawer so I suppose I'll be using that for the chipset instead. Does anyone know if the Thermalright NB-1 chipset cooler will fit on the DFI nF3 board?

[13oost]

i need to get one of those

nice score man

[twilius_basic]

Does anyone know if the Thermalright NB-1 chipset cooler will fit on the DFI nF3 board?

I *think* it would (not sure though), but the problem with most hsf's like that is height.... it will get in teh way of your GPU

Sweet results there m8 I had almost weened myself off spending more money on this PC of mine, but those results make it look SOO tempting.... I'd love to replace my 130nm Claw 3700+ wiht your Newark And I've already got Chilly1 LN2 container ready and waiting for it

[conrad.maranan]

Thanks for the reply, twilius_basic. I'm going to check to see if there will be any interference between the card and chipset cooler. If it looks all clear, I just need to confirm that the block will actually fit. These Newarks are pretty awesome CPUs. If you're looking to keep your current setup, I'd definitely make the move from Clawhammer to Newark as these chips seem to clock well. Maybe 40K would be a reality for you.

[ozzimark]

On a side note, I needed 1.8V on the chipset for all of those runs and screenshots.

don't know the answer to your question, but that's a curious statement there. i don't think i've ever seen benefit from raising the voltage. perhaps i should try that now

[Supertim0r]

nice scores m8 !!
I want to see Dothan action
