Athlon 64 revision E won't work on some Nforce 3/4 boards
CeBIT 2005 Ouch AMD
By Fuad Abazovic in Hannover: Saturday 12 March 2005, 19:27
PROBLEMS APPEAR to be affecting Athlon 64 revision E chips on some Nforce 3
and Nforce 4 motherboards. Symptoms include motherboard shut down and failure
to boot, according to reports here from CeBIT.
Revision E chips from AMD are just released and brings stuff like SSE3
support inside a 90 nanometre die. AMD on the other hand didn't make a big
noise about its announcement.
We learned that if you have this Athlon and already have Nforce 3 or Nforce 4
board that there is a big chance that you may encounter problems. We are told
that AMD changed its thermal regulation protection and that's what makes it
incompatible with at least some of the Nforce 3 and Nforce 4 boards out
there.
