AMD 64 3500+ Venice

[kwarkers]

The "Quick and Dirty A64 clocking quide" was a little too much for a newbie like myself. Can some1 plz help me to OC my CPU. How bout a Slow and Clean guide, if there is such a thing. My system is pretty Stock Standard:
A64 3500 Venice
Asus AV8-E-Deluxe
2x512 Kingston CL2
Maxtor 160Gb SATA
Winfast 6600 GT Extreme Ed. (PCI-Ex)
Thermaltake Sonic Tower with 120mm fan
120mm and 80mm case fan

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Any one can give me a hand with this one....

what i usually do is max out the vcore (1.6V max for a venice) and start bumping up the FSB by increments of 5, using 12 hours of prime to test each successive speed.

depending on the memory use a divider or run 1:1

Great, thanks for your help Corporate Thug

np, but i forgot to mention, if you are pumping 1.6v into a venice, make sure you have good cooling and temps are under control (below 60 under full load). also, you want to make sure that you are priming for stability

Priming for stability... did i mention that im a newb???

download, run stress test for 12 hours

ok, but what is priming for stability???

My overclock specs for AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice core:
Hyper Transport: 3x
CPU multiplier: 10x
FSB: 250 MHz
Divider: 166 MHz or 1/3
CPC: 2t
CPU voltage: 1.525v
DRAM voltage: 1.7v
HTT voltage: 1.2v

Hope this helps anyone!
Btw, my motherboard is an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Clocks stable at 2.5 ghz and stays well within the safe operating temp.

It just means to run the Prime95 program overnight (12+ hours). If you get an error, your CPU/RAM is not stable and you either need to back off on the overclock or up the voltage. If it passes, your overclock is good to go.

How long did you search for to find this thread?

yeah no kidding. who the heck joins a forum and digs up an over 5 year old cpu thread? its not like an oc on a 2005 cpu is going to make any difference in 2011 anyway.

no point in this, bump it up by 20mhz, when you can't post or fail prime within 30 seconds then back it off 15-20mhz on the bus and then prime it. Priming every 5 mhz makes no sense.

why are some of you replying to a 5 year old thread on overclocking a single core cpu???

I am confused as well, i mean three posts TODAY have been to posts that are over 5 years old....
