splurged and bought some expensive computer parts(:

arthor · 27 Mar 2006 at 14:22

got me a 1900xtx should be best today
i also bought an amd 3400 seems to be limited production thing (same speed as 3500)
also whats the diffrence between northbrige and vencie
and whats the overclock potential of this thing?

And now in english?

Defcon5 · 27 Mar 2006 at 14:40

errr, i think a 3400 is a sempy?

and a northbridge is the part of a mobo that connects the cpu to everything else, and a venice is a core of a cpu with sse3 and 512 l2 cache

jellybeard999 · 27 Mar 2006 at 14:40

ive never heard of a amd 3400 for socket 939, socket 754 only...
a northbridge is on the motherboard, and venice is the codename of an amd chip
overclock potential - we need more info, and even then its just a guess

as to the above post - yeah, its not very readable :s

Maybe the 3400+ is a Clawhammer :confused:

Uh, the "northbridge" is a chip on the motherboard. Since you were talking about AMD chips, I assume you meant "Newcastle"? In which case, the Venice is a later revision with a better memory controller, uses less power, and is made on a different process (90nm instead of 130nm).

Regarding overclock potential, depends on the stepping really (the code on top of the chip).

There was one, part number ADA3400DEP4AZ. It's a 3500+ with an 800mhz HTT rather than 1000mhz.

isnt HTT mobo dependant ???

It may well be, but since the 939pin 3400+ was OEM only it probably went in machines with the bus locked to 800mhz

arthor · 27 Mar 2006 at 18:02

nah it has the same spefications as the 3500+
also yeah thats what i meant...
also is the 90mm a lot better?

trojan698 · 27 Mar 2006 at 19:14

They run cooler and use less power which is better for overclocking.

arthor · 27 Mar 2006 at 20:21

can i use the 3400 at my normal mobo ?
939dual-sata asrock?

trojan698 · 28 Mar 2006 at 13:09

the only 3400+ I've heard of was a socket 754 chip..

And as I stated above, there was an OEM only 3400+ on S939 with the lower 800mhz HTT speed.

No idea. You'd probably be better off asking ASRock to be honest, I'm sure they have a support e-mail address.
