Is this an E3 Venice?
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe...ProductCode=80699-5&affiliate=shopping

IIRC, the BP in the "ADA3000BPBOX" means its E3; correct?


So I hear rumors about how the E6's suck at OC-ing, yet I see no proof. I'm going to buy a Venice soon and would like some real info on this matter.

Ideally I want to take a 3200+ Venice and run it @ 2.6GHz or higher on air (thinking XP-90) with the ASRock AGP/PCIE mobo & 2x512MB Corsair 2-3-2 (XMS Pro) DDR 400. I figure it will be easier to do that with a 3200+ than a 3000+ since I don't have the uber RAM.

Thoughts?

you are not very likely to get an E6 to run at 2.6ghz, some haven't been reaching 2.4ghz

I have one of the best possible week/stepping 3000+ E3 and mine will only hit 2.85ghz or so, so just over 2.7ghz is stable

"uber RAM"??

I'm doing it just fine with Corsair Value:) just use a divider

actually the 3000 tend to OC better than the 3200, regardless of the multi

also, if you want a good shot at 2.7ghz+, you would have the best luck with an Opteron 144/146

Apparently those are all gone now & the new ones are using a different (i.e. sucky OCing) core.

I ordered a 3200+ Venice from NewEgg on Friday in the hopes I would get a good E3 version, hope I get lucky.

2.6GHz-2.7GHz is fine with me--I'm just doing this as a spur of the moment upgrade since my mobo is fried and I wasn't planning on doing S939 at all in the first place. So I figure I want to get the best OC headroom possible.

I know the 3000+ OC's just as well, but I hear the stock multi on the 3200+ allows for a more optimal use of the divider.

i had a e6 3000+ that reached 2.6ghz @ 1.65v. mine ran hot even with a xp90 w/ as5 plus e6 cpus tend to have low max temps.

Newegg has E3's as far as I know, I recall seing E6's on Newegg who actually labeled it as an E6.

I have an E6 stepping that's overclocked to 2528.4Mhz @ 1.465V, idle/load temps are 34/47 on the stock cooler, and its over 12 hrs Prime95 stable, so not such a bad overclock.

What do you think?
