New 64bit Sempron 3400+ with dry ice cooling

[formyfaith]

Test rig
- AMD Sempron 3400+ BX Code(64bit) with dry ice cooling
- DFI NF4 250GB
- G.Skill FF 1GB Kit
- Enermax 701AX-V PSU

Since there are so many San Diego, FX benchies around,

I've decided to have some fun with the cheap Sempron processor.

Starting from the new BO code, they're 64bit compatible.

As you can see, the Sempron processor I used for testing is the BX code.

Bellow are some pics and results of the test.

Dry ice fun



1M Super pi result.

Too bad the mobo nor the CPU were not able to handle any high HTT.
So I had to set a divider for my G.Skill FF.



Doesn't it look freezing?
The weather is so hot these days.

Looks really nice. Should mean that they'll be available soon. BTW, perhaps taking off the heatspreader would make the CPU clock higher than what you got. Cooling should obviously not have benn the problem.


The only thing that I'm still waiting to see is the pricing on these chips. I hope they won't be too pricey, because why bother with a Sempron then, if the A64 is priced the same. Well, they'll clock quite well, but if that'll make up for the lack of L2-Cache, I don't know.
