Hurray !

i just received the 468593-001N SPS-THERMAL MODULE (PNRYN) - and its the correct one for FX3600M !. Now i have 2 cooling units, i will resell one at ebay the next days.

Greetings,
Bernd

PS: Sorry for the last post, i got problems with IE6 on the website

Bernd,

Where did you purchase "468593-001N SPS-THERMAL MODULE (PNRYN)" and how much was it?
Is it new or refurbished?
I'm guessing this is in addition to the one you purchased on ebay that was selling for $55 shipped.

I'm still looking for a good deal on a 3600M or 3700M.
The 3600M seems to be a better candidate for the 8710w since the 3700M appears to have issues with RAM and BIOS.
I suspect this problems are directly related. So unless someone finds the right BIOS, it wont work properly with the 3700M.

Thanks.

Hi,

i bought it here:

http://www.tomtech.de/

the HP Partsurfer pointet me this way. I payed roughly 45,- € - that means the dualp pipe FX3600 model is cheaper than the single pipe cooler for the FX1600M ^^^. Its the complete cooling system for the graphic card, the northbridge including fan an everything (like the photos on this site). Since i have 2 now i can sell one if someone is interrested. The guy i bought the FX3600M told me he has 18 more cards and will sell them on ebay for about 300$.

I was hoping for a $100 deal on a 3600M. I knew I should have bought it when I saw it a few months back. LOL
But I didn't want to get ahead of myself since I didn't know where to get the right HS.
Now that we have the right HS, all the 3600Ms are $360 and above.

Oh, I thought you were in the US.
I was looking for something locally.

Thanks anyway.

For those who have an FX3700M, SIGAN and DaMarcus, have you been able to fix the BIOS issues so that everything works properly (ex. speed and RAM register correctly)?

Anyone have any updates on the FX3700M problems/solutions?

What BIOS should we use for the 3600M....and for the 3700M?

The 3600M seems like a sure way to go, but I'd be inclined to buy an FX3700M if the issues have been resolved.

Just an update. I haven't seen a fix for the 3700m, but I ordered the dual pipe vga cooler and I haven't seen temps peak above 73c which is a far cry from the 102c I've been getting with the single-pipe cooler at times. Anyone else have any luck with the 3700m yet and is it really faster than the 3600 even with the memory address issues?

I think this is a problem of drivers.
I have experienced in my desktop computer a similar problem, the usual programs hardware monitoring (CPU-Z, GPU-Z, Everest), did not recognize the characteristics of the computer because the hardware was very new and the database was outdated
This is because you can not find or do not match your computer hardware with its database obsolete, but the hardware operates correctly.
A user corroborates this, testing a Quadro FX3600m and FX3700m and reach up to 50% gain in performance. If the FX3700m operating at half capacity, or one quarter of Vram, this had not happened.
To function properly is to get a driver version that is compatible with your computer, with the OS, hardware and a current analyzer software (GPU-Z).
May be with Windows 7 fix the problem.
(sorry for my bad english).
Bye!
