Google would say. In other words, you'd have found that by searching

what are the advantages/disadvantages of sledgehammer?

[XT-ChAce]

Its not listed, that should say enough

Well, they're pretty much the same as the Clawhammer939, but they have registered memory, which is a disadvantage. So if you can , just avoid it.

[broom]

well because im deciding on whether to get the +4000 or the FX-53 but im pretty sure im getting the FX because of the unlocked multis

[XT-ChAce]

Dude, read. Try to look at what it says after the FX's under "Unlocked". See? So if you're gonna get an FX, get the Clawhammer one. Otherwise just get the 4000+. Upping multi's is just for newbs and VIA-owners anyway

I have an AMD K8N-E Deluxe Motherboard, with the latest Bios. Coupled with a 754 3400+ ChiP, using Corsair 3200 memory.

I started playing around with the Chip mulitipler and went to 12x, which Sandra Shows a 2.41 core, and it seems to perform (according to Sandra), at that range.

So here is the issue ! I went back to look at the mulitiplier manual adjustmets again, and I NO LONGER have any choices?? it just shows 12x ?? I tried resetting the bios to default, and rebooted and the same result, only shows 12x? I can no longer adjust the mulitplier?

Any thoughts on this issue??

Also even though sandra does shows that the core did increase, the chip information page in the bios, still shows 3400, and the normal core??
Is Sandra lying to me? lol

Plus what are the best memory timings to go with>? I have it set for 1 t with a 2.o cas, but the rest is 3-6



Thanks in advance

[islhopr]

I sorta figured it out, I thought I had the 3400+ with the Winchester core, NOPE ! I have the 3400+ LOCKED TIGHT AS A DRUM Newcastle CHIP!

Oh well, guess I am stuck with the chip that is prob the worst for any kind of overclocking.

I am going to try and upgrade to the 939 3500+ Winchester, and Asus NV SLI board, guess I am never happy

Thanks

Thanks

[XT-ChAce]

The usual, just see what it will do

DIK4BI

[XT-ChAce]

Is that stepping the same for all models (eg 2800+ - 4000+)??

[XT-ChAce]

DIK means its some new laser kind of stepping, which so far hasn't really done great. Not bad, but not great. You can expect around 2.5Ghz out of that 3500. Best stepping you can get is the CBBHD 0444/0447 (that's on the second line). AFAIK the DIK isn't available for the entire range, but it doesn't matter if you get the stepping mentioned above.
