3700+ sandie vs. 4000+ sandie

[tw33ter]

Is there any differences in oc'ing potential between the 3700 and the 4000 sandies? Im planning on getting one of these and oc'ing, and i was wondering if there was any differences in oc'ing performance, other then the 4000 being higher clocked at stock? Or is it even worth getting the 4000 because its only 200mhz faster?

Nope.

Get the SD 3700+ & enjoy your FX-55 or FX-57 speeds. (what you should be able to get from OCing)

Bah! You need to 2.8ghz to enjoy FX-55 speeds without that 1MB of cache..

Been looking at upgrading from a 3000+ winchester. I like the price decreases on these SD's. 🙂

Venice > SD for overclocking?

Also, I keep reading something about the 4000 being an FX-53 with some kind of lock. Is it just the 4000 that has this lock or does that apply to any and all non-FX chips?

 

[tw33ter]

all non-fx a64's are top locked, but not bottom locked

the fx's are unlocked both top and bottom

with the 4000 you get that extra 12X multiplier but that's about it.

I keep hearing about these awesome overclocks with the Venice core. Are these OCs limited to Venice, or does SD overclock as well/better?

Or so ive heard
