Katch Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Right the funds are all sorted for my next build (and not a moment to soon managed to bad flash my NF2 and the Saviour in my bleary eyed frustration last night ) So I'm gonna get the NF3 939 board so I can keep my nice Gainward AGP card. I'm gonna drop a XP120 ontop of either the 3700 Sandy or 3800 Venice and feed it my old school BH-5. Which chip should I go for?

SaFrOuT Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 for sure the Sandi it has 1MB cache and both of them reachs the same O/C anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katch Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Anyone know what the highest multiplier is for these 2 and what OC they seem to max out at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaFrOuT Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 i think u need to read more about O/Cing u will know that those cpus has a fixed mutliplier, u can lower it but can't get any higher than it the for example my Venice 3200+ is2GHz which has FSB =200 and multi =10x i can make it run using multi 9 or 8 or 7 and so on but the highest i can use the one default one so the 3700+ or the 3800+'s mutli can be known by dividing their total MGZ by 200FSB and this will be the largest mutli u can use on each of them they both O/C around 2700~2800MHZ anywhere above this will be very lucky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been building systems and OCing for years. All I wanted to know was the default max multi on each chip as this affects your max potential clock after all is said and done. I admit I was being lazy instead of going and finding the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOT1 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 for sure the Sandi it has 1MB cache and both of them reachs the same O/C anyway 3700+ 2200x11 3800+ 2400x12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kronos Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 11X for the 3700+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lucky Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I would go for the Venice. The 12x multi will come in handy and the Venice seem to be o/c ing as good as the SD's. You wont even notice the 1Mb cache. 2.4Ghz 1.4v Vs 2.2Ghz 1.4v HERE is a good read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Right the funds are all sorted for my next build (and not a moment to soon managed to bad flash my NF2 and the Saviour in my bleary eyed frustration last night ) Forget to flip the switch?

Katch Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Forget to flip the switch? bad flashed one chip, then without paying any attention to what I was doing badflashed the other in exactly the same way oops! Irony is the moment I hit the power off switch I knew I'd done it, could have sorted it if I had realise a second earlier. Ah well tweak and learn : clock and burn.

The 1 meg cache which currently doesn't seem to increase performance much seriously marginal gains or the x 12 multi in the hope of getting a higher final clock speed. I just can't decide...

red930 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Have you lookeed in the OCDB?,maybe that would help, http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=28 I've did something very similar w/my bios saviour,live and learn eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
