3ghz Venice

With learning memory timings Ive been able to hit 9x300 at 1.55vcore without my temp hitting 50c. But this isnt enough for me. Is there a realistic chance to hit 3ghz with this puppy? Is 333fsb too much for my motherboard? Im thinking a ram upgrade and watercooling can get me close. Any ideas as to what ram would get me to where I want to go? Ive seen 3ghz Venice 3000+ on W/C so I know its possible, but is this a unattainable dream?
 
depends on your board, dfi and epox boards should be able to hit 320 fairly easily, set the multiplier to 6x or whatever and keep pushing the htt up and see what your max windows boot speed is

but yeah with a quality water cooling system you have a good chance of hitting 3 ghz
 
I really doubt that you're going to hit 3 GHz if it takes 1.55 volts to hit 2.7 GHz. A lot of people get 2.7 GHz on stock volts and are still unable to hit 3 GHz. I had mine at 2.7 GHz at 1.45 volts and it wouldn't even hit 2.9 at 1.65 volts.
 
well a 2.7Ghz venice is not to shabby, but very few motherboards with exception to DFI can reach 310HTT and above, but then again the HTT is governed by the mem controller as well as the quality of the motherboard tracers and signal integrity, what you must realise is that it is a rarity that you will see a venice hit 3Ghz, the chips are just not able do it, not unless you use a well over 1.55 volts, and expensive Prometia/Vapochill cooling, which will decrease the life expectancy of the chip to a minimum, over 1.6v is well outside the parameters of a venice.

you ask the question what RAM will get you that far, you must keep in mind the integrity of the mem controllers and not stress them to hard, so i would say use a divider and only stress the HTT capability of the mem controllers, let alone running 1:1 , 1T, and somewhat good timings

 
Well after seeing that some have it at 2.7 on stock I set mine back to stock now and it seems to be running well. My concern is the 333fsb needed to hit it, I know its possible I guess I have to research and see what board. I messed with mine a little and it looks 310-315 is my max. Guess I should trade up for a Venice 3200 so I can go 10x300. But I will get a good watercooling system and go for it anyway. I hate to settle but if I could get 2.8 or 2.9 Id be quite happy.
 
I wouldn't bother...2700 is a great reach for a 3000+ Venice...that's a 50% overclock. If you're really looking to hit 3.0GHz, I would suggest a 3700+ San Diego or a 4000+ even.
 
meh. AT hit like 345 with that epox, you should be fine. It clocks as well as the DFI. crank up the volts, honestly, 1.65vcore isn't going to hurt your proc.
 
No one gets 3000 MHz on air.

Unless you want to invest in some more extreme cooling, be happy with your very good 2700 MHz.
 
When I tried pushing my Venice to 2808, Windows started to crap out and would BSOD so keep that in mind.

True, but the extra multiplier can help get memory timings where you want them without sacraficing cpu speed.
 
#ghz stable on Unchilled watercooling would be a world record as far as I know. 2.9-2.95ghz is about the max for even the best Venice.
 
2.7 GHz on a 3000+ Venice? Damn. Be happy with what you've got. That is a monster overclocker. You have a fortunate CPU/mobo combination. That's very hard to do and is largely a random chance. Also, is it truly a stable OC? If so, very good job.

Don't bother upgrading to a 3200+ or higher. There is no guarantee whatsoever that a CPU with a higher stock speed will give you a commensurately higher OC. In fact it's very, VERY unlikely. I love my San Diego and got it up to 2.7 GHz stable as a rock. But not even 10 MHz higher on air and the system would BSOD.

Just lock that system down and make sure you have a good power supply and cooling.
 
Yeah my 3700+ hits a brick wall like right at 2.7Ghz

It runs there (right at 2.7Ghz) stable (tested for 24+ hrs in Prime) but it couldnt run anything over 2.7Ghz no matter what voltage I gave it. I run at 2.6Ghz just because I know in the future the heatsink will get clogged with dust and AS5 won't work is good, the room will get hotter, etc. I want stable 24/7 year round so I drop my down from my max overclock.

Does your Mobo support the Multipliers with the memory, you could always lower to 3/4 or 2/3. Should affect performance since we are nottalking about running asynchronous to anything.
 
well i don't have that many dividers available to me between 2.6 and 2.7ghz

using 9x divider using 10x divider
260-270 (9:10) 236-245
236-245 (5:6) 216-225
236-245 (5:4) 200-207
216-225 (4:3)
200-207 (7:10)
187-192 (3:2)
173-180 (5:3)
144-150 (2:1)

you have the same memory ranges for 9x and 10x
