I have finish the review of my San Diego 4000+ !


In french, but you can look the screens ...

only 15250 marks with a diego and 6600gt? I get well over 20k with my winny at those clocks, 23.6k at 2GHz on the winny. Looks like aa/af was turned on for that score or pci-e chipset drivers werent installed, its that bad 2.78GHz isnt bad for chilled water. Probably 2.65GHz on air cooling but another guy hit 2.72 though. AMD may be speed binning, I say this because even the old 130nm fx55 often hit 2.8GHz or even 2.9GHz on air. It may take a 90nm fx55 to hit near or even 3GHz on air, its known that amd saves the best yields and silcon for the fx chips but compare at $900 for 90nm fx55 at say 3GHz vs. $350 for 3700+ diego at say 2.7GHz. Thats more than 2.5x the price for about 11% more cpu clocks! Nice review and gives us a good idea of the cpus overclockability

[Rubescen]

hot damn!! looking good....hopefully my 3700 SD will do just as well, keep in mind that every single chip clock differently but as far as I can tell the 1MB definitely worth the extra cash over 512KB!!

[Fzero]

he was running water cooling not chilled

Afterwards, it does not go up much any more, even with 1.61V it is not possible of booter with 3.1 GHz! It must surely need

of cold... Return in a few days, time that WaterChiller would be full operational, I shoed an update!

[Geforce4ti4200]

15c is chilled, regular water is room temp but the cpu warms it up to like 40c. Id like to see what you get with regular room temp air cooling, please?

Don't you think this is all relative to one's location and what the ambient temperature is? Room temperature varies from one region to another.

[reject]

his rad is in an underground well i think

[Major]

Thanks for your efforts !!!

excellent results, looks like they have alot of potential !

[DrJay]

Geforce,.....
convert Celcius to Farenheit, then get back to us.

[Unrealcpu]

Um im not sure about strikeing down a FX55 CPU just yet

[OCfreak]

I think similar results on air would be possible. His temps were only 39c! with 1.5v
Temps would likely be acceptable on air with those volts, maybe mid 50's. Very promising

[eva2000]

strange review config didnt mention what ram you used for test ?

[Major]

3ghz @ 1.46v and 39c looks very promising to me

[airwolves]

Looks good so far now the any other chips?? to test

The point is not his score, but the score in comparison to the winny with same settings. Argh, you're irritating.

[lastdon00]

hmm
though charts look so misleading

it shows the sandiego so far ahead
but really ti's not i mean it is.. but the graph makes it look like it's soooooooooooooo ahead

They're that way so that those used to looking at pretty pictures and then running to the forums saying "OMG SANDIEGO THE R0X0RZ TH3 B7G ON3 !!!"....look closer at the charts to see the REAL difference lol.

[eshbach]

cannot wait for mine to get in...

i reallllllly hope it works correctly at -100C....

[afireinside]

Um im not sure about strikeing down a FX55 CPU just yet

FX55=what like 800+ dollars?
diago=sub 500 and needs less volts

We still havent seen a diago under phase have we? Either way the FX55 may or may not still be king but the diago is the obvious winner if you don't have unlimited funds.

thats irrevelent if both are scoring abnormally low, then how would I know if the difference shouldnt be alot greater? 15c is about 60f which is quite a bit cooler than what most of us keep our rooms at, my rooms near 80f

[Nubius]

I hate translations.....comes out horribly screwed lol.

Cool I guess? hehe

I hope I can afford a san diego

Get your facts straight, that 2.72 was a WINCHESTER.

[afireinside]

Reading geforce's post makes my brain hurt

funny i have thick balnket over my window with ac unit on during the day and window open at night keeping it arround 50*f trust it would be more like -10*c with chilled water tops 2*c that is normal water cooling

[cpulloverclock]

puit cooling with water temp at 10-15°C

I dont think it's a great stepping coz the F is bad but nice ocing
