Another 3700 SD success

[monaco87]

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

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.

very good on stock volts. very good indeed.

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

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

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

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.

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

so far so good- havnt tried pushing yet and im getting 2.75GHz prime stable on stock volts and cooling.
