max venice vcore?

[Corporate Thug]

what do u all recommend for max vcore on a venice 3500+ using an xp120?

 

[theMan]

1.55v

thanx for the response

whats the stock vcore on a venice?

 

[theMan]

its between 1.35v and 1.40v. it varies on the chip.

thanx

bump for more responses. i know a lot of you have venices!

I believe 1.4v is the spec voltage for venice cpus. You can always check AMD's technical documentation if they have any online.

I wouldn't go any higher then 1.6 volts. But would best be around 1.55.

i run mine at 1.525 but 1.55 hasn't hurt it either. i just don't need to run it at 1.55, but some folks need more voltage for added stability.

1.6 or less. I ran my 3000+ @ 2.6 Ghz, 1.6V (which is what it took to be totally Prime stable), but backed it down to 2.52 Ghz/1.535V. Temperatures are actually quite similar at the different voltages on an XP-90.

Mine's running @ 2.66GHz with 1.59v but can run @ 2.6 Ghz @ 1.5v . . . so generally speaking I would probably run it most of the time @ 2.6 Ghz 1.5v and only @ 2.66GHz+ 1.59v when benching . . . high vcore is not a big problem if you have excellent cooling (or watercooling) as long as you don't cross the 1.6v barrier too much . . .

 

[imported_squire]

Mine runs at 1.65V @ 2.5GHz only.

I tried running at 1.5~ but it wouldn't pass prime if I did that...

I guess I got a bad chip.

The rule of thumb is that it is safe to increase the voltage on the CPU by 10% over default. The Venice default voltage is from 1.35-1.4 Volts depending on the proc. That puts the safe operating range up to 1.54V for your processor.
1.4V*10% = .14
.14V + 1.4V = 1.54V

The manufacturer engineers the processors with a tolerance of + or - 10%. That's why most people agree that you can increase voltage by that much without risk of damaging it.

I am running my 3000+ Venice @ 2.7 GHz using stock cooling at 1.55V.

 

[TomKazansky]

1.65V is the abosolute maximum, while 1.6V is the redline.

thanx for the responses all
