San Diego 3700: 11X does not work!

[MrSeanKon]

Yes it is true......
I bought a new one mainboard (ASUS nForce4).
Same settings in BIOS, fresh Windows installation and same BIOS version from official ASUS site.
I do not care cos I use 10X but I wish to inform you for some strange things...

are you overclocking? default is 11x200

Yes. The chip runs (it is one year old) at 10*300 (SLK 948U aircooled).
Vcore is 1.42 - 1.48 (depending on ambient temperature).

What new motherboard did you get? Seems wierd that it don't allow x11 multi, as i'm sure the 3700+ default is x11...

What new motherboard did you get?

I had ASUS A8N 939 (nForce4) but it kicked the bucket.
I sent it for RMA and I have the new one (ASUS again).

as i'm sure the 3700+ default is x11...

Yes you are right.

Seems wierd that it don't allow x11 multi

Me too I am confused.
I ran the CPU with 11X during the first week.
After I reduced multiplier to 10X and performed the CPU burn-in process.

Or 273x11 for that matter.

Thanks for suggestion but I tried and crashed.

well running at 300x11 would need a lot of voltage did you try it at stock speeds

No I did not try the default settings e.g. 11*200.
As about 10*300 --> see the third post.
The chip is very good it reaches 3GHz easily (no teravolts) but above 3050 MHz it follows totally Banana Convergence
