Another 3700 SD success

monaco87 · 6 Feb 2006 at 21:20

My new 3700 SD seems to be running Prime quite happily at 2860MHz - HTT 260 !!! Abit AV8 3rd eye , stock volts, Gigabyte G-Power cooler, idle 31C, load 51C, memory at 215....

... happy days !!!

I couldnt get mine to run above 2.6 on stock volts

TaKeN · 6 Feb 2006 at 21:39

Sorry to be dull then

Thats nice going man,

Amps · 6 Feb 2006 at 21:49

very good on stock volts. very good indeed.

What is the stock volts on that chip 1.35 - 1.4v?

I'm going to leave it running for a couple of hours to be sure. For the price I have to say that the 3700 seems to be hard to beat at the moment.

It's showing as 1.41V, so 1.4 give or take....

KiNgPiN83 · 6 Feb 2006 at 21:55

lol, mine took 1.7v, watercooling and tweaking to get to that!!!

Now its at a far more stable, 2749 @ 1.65v

My processor is currently on 1.56 to get 2.81Ghz

TaKeN · 6 Feb 2006 at 22:59

ive just stuck mine at 1.6 volts. Got to 42oc Max playing counter strike source, and that was clocked at 2751

Gonna try and get 2.8 later.. but pc crashed last time

Just starting messing around with cpu again lol, i had HTT Running at over 300, with HTT X Frequency think at 4x So i think my hypertransport thing was unstable, i dropped it to 3 x and it seems fine

Here is the finished product

Im going to try for 2.9 maybe even three Ghz tommorow night

I can only get my 3700+ to 2.65ghz on stock volts and HSF...

Guess you got a good clocker there...

monaco87 · 7 Feb 2006 at 09:24

It ran Prime perfectly for just under 6 hours last night. Seems like the current batch of 3700 SD may be really good clockers.

TaKeN · 7 Feb 2006 at 10:05

I dont understand how to use prime 95 lol, i think i might need some help later please

I prefer to test the cpu using Counter Strike Source for a few hours

If its unstable, it ALWAYS Crashes...

I always refer people to this guide but that because it is so damned good.

It tells you how to run prime, set it up and where to get it from (just scroll down a bit).

Thanks man

Im gonna run prime 95 overnight and make sure she's stable.

Is 1.6 Volts ok, as long as temps are below 50oc ?

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. But just be warey of putting much more than that through the CPU! Dont want the next post from you saying "Any good clocking second hand 3700SDs for sale?"

Enjoy you night of priming.

monaco87, is it a KAB3E stepping 3700+? i bet it is, a friend got his to 3.2ghz on "cold" water, they have the cold bug though. not quite as flexible as an opty but still one of the best cheap single core athlons steppings so far.

TaKeN · 8 Feb 2006 at 10:20

ive got a friend who got a CAB3E its a real shame though... cause its sitting in a mobo at stock speeds :eek:

I had mine running at 2.8 Ghz all last night playing Counter Strike Source for hours, seems to be very stable

Is that with the 1.6V?

And give your mate a firm slapp for running a KAB3E on stock settings!! Tuh!

Not sure what stepping it is, don't want to disturb it to have a look now...

Hesky82 · 8 Feb 2006 at 10:38

oh no dont do that, I'm almost 100% sure its a KAB3E 0547 GPMW anyway, you got a good athlon 64 cpu there!
