mrdbristol Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Hello Forum ( 1st post ! ) , Have just upgraded my mobo to a DFI ( as sig ) Running a rather old 3200+ Claw which needs replacing. The AMD 3000+ ( ADA3000BXBOX ) - E6 Venice core,90nm,1.4v,51w etc.... looks favourite The 3700+ Claw ( ADA3700AEP5AR ) a close second. Which would you suggest for overclocking with this board ? Would my current Bios support the new Venice core 3000+ ? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolt Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 yes your Bios will see the new E6 not a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzy78 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I'm using that Bios version and it works fine for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smolt Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 The AMD 3000+ ( ADA3000BXBOX ) - E6 Venice core,90nm,Is a real fine core .And will get you into or around 2.7 But im gonna have to vote for The 3700+ Claw ( ADA3700AEP5AR ) Us diehards are wating to see some of the new cores overclock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdbristol Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks for replies . Am looking/hoping for a target of 2.7 / 2.8 Don't see many sigs with a 3700+ ( 754 ) clocked to this sort of speed though , hence my interest in the Venice core. So o'cing a Venice by +35% is easier than o'cing a 3700 by just 15% ? (My current 3200 Claw will run at 2240 (+12%) and thats a CO rev. !) Whats the best I can hope for on the 3700+ ? Cheers.

learners permit Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 The best prime stable clock on my 3700 claw was 2574mhz 234X11 1:1. The new venice cores have the added benefit of SSE3 instructions as well as 90 nanometer process but the memory controller of the clawhammer is better IMHO.

albumleaf Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I disagree, I've seen venice 3000+ cores on the stock cooler hit 2.9. Never seen that with a Claw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kerclaps Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Go for the Venice, Claw's suck! Or even better if you've got the money get yourself a Newark 4000+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElevenZero Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 My Venice E6 3500+ runs at 2.7 hz @ 1.600 volts. 45c load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the claw had a better memory controller.And hes right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
learners permit Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 I think when running 2X1 gigs of ram the Clawhammer has the advantage on the NF3 platform over the venice. The NF4 infinity evens the field when running 2X1 gigs of ram with a venice core. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
