Too early to tell, but for 24/7 gaming rig it's certainly the cpu to get. For overclocking to the max for benching, probably 3500/3800+ venice is better. From what i read so far the 3000/3200 venices are pretty poor in stable oc's - but benchable pretty high.

Only cpus to really look at would be 3500/3800 venice and 3700/4000 sandy.

I managed to complete superpi 32M @ 8x305mhz 2.5-4-3-7 in 30min 14s with my Gskill which i never could do before

not bad at stock cpu speed of 2400mhz





@8x 305mhz 2.5-4-3-7 1T

SSE3 patched superpi 32M at stock cpu speed

blackjok3r

not bad at all. That kicks my CAA2C at same speed. Probaly due to memory but.

eva2000

well you can see the difference at stock cpu and ram stock in first post's superpi 1M and 32M

sse3 results are interesting

eva2000

yeah SSE3 results are interesting.. i'll post the full set later but just tried a bit of cpu + sing eVGA 6800U PCI-E video card oc'ing

10x280HTT
1GB Gskill PC4400LE @280mhz 2.5-3-3-6 1T
card @452/1205 with 71.89WHL

benchies are not as organised as I usually do this but i'll have a part 2 thread once i get bios testing sorted out

but here's some benchies oc'd

2x 1GB 512MB Gskill PC4400LE dual channel kit

(32M seems slow even for 2.5-3-3-7 1T timings doesn't it ? )
