Athlon 64 3200 specs?
Can one tell me what the multiplier fsb and voltages etc should be for a AMD
64 3200 on a gigabyte GA-K8VT800 bios F7 using DDR400 if i set them manually though i thought the multiplier was locked? I am not convinced the bios is recognising it correctly. CPUID obviously recognises the speed to be 2057 mhz correctly but if i play with EasyTune 4 or EasyTune 5 it gives me a speed of 1005.02mhz with a system bus of 200 and a dram of 400 in linear mode or a speed of 1850.50 in divider mode also multiplier seems to vary between 5.9 x or 11 x so I am totally lost so which is correct |

One is 2000MHz with a 10 multiplier and 1M L2 cache. The other is 2200MHz with an 11 multiplier and 512K L2 cache. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

From a A32 point of view that range is totally unacceptable!!! I warned my cousin about that but he insists that these are normal (according to the manual; and that his system is still beating the sh#t out of Doom 3). Could anyone verify that the mentioned temperature range is *normal* for an A64? Thanks! |

Missed out the model ops...
It's an Athlon 64 3400+ with stock fan/HS. |

That sounds high, and not optimal, but not dangerous. Is there a case
fan or two? Does the case get good ventilation? Some people put the pc in a cabinet ot against a wall or other thing that obstructs air flow through the case. Is it being used in an air conditioned room? 888 wrote: Missed out the model ops... It's an Athlon 64 3400+ with stock fan/HS. |

Could anyone verify that the mentioned temperature range is *normal* for an A64? That is not "normal", but not totally out of range either. You don't really want it any higher than 70, but it should be running no more than 50-55 at full load (most i have seen are cooler than that). |

Tell him to upgrade his MB bios adn the reported temps should come way down. There's a problem with old bios and new newcastle core A64's, which he surely has. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Thanks for your replies it appears to be a 3200 with 512 cache well that's
what cpu info and cpuid programs show both off AMD site say one puzzling thing as well about these two little programs is that the speed shown seems to vary depending its mood I can run each program say ten times and get a different processor speed shown each time. as wes seems to be the fountain of knowledge in these matters I need the specs to set it all manually in the bios as if I leave everything to auto I am sure its not recognising correctly: I have corsair ddr 400 which has been switched with other memory but always shows men clock as 166 I assume it should be 200? 2nd multiplier seems to show as either 5 or 10 or 11 in easy tune depending on its mood also on auto ldt clock seems to be 200 I assume it should be 800 MHz if I use ddr 400 |

hi,
different speeds may be shown while "working cool & quiet" g jk |
