O'cing potential of a 3000+ (Venice) vs a 3000+ (Newcastle) vs a 3200+ (Venice)

[dug777]

My local bricks & mortar only stocks 3000+ Newcastles for some strange reason (well, they say they are on the website)...

But anywho, what do you have to say?

The 3000+ (either Venice or NCastle) should cost me ~190AUD, a 3200 is ~240 AUD...

Hey Dug, I'm running my 3200+ Venice core on that same exact mobo @ 2.4GHZ (runs at 2.0GHZ stock) right now. That is on stock v-core, cooling, and running stable. I installed an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 last weekend but I haven't got a chance to up it anymore but I should see 2.5GHZ+ with a slight v-core bump.

i'd deffinetly go with the venice, i got the same board as you too and i got my 3200 venice up to 2.53 with vcore at 1.45 on stock cooling, rock stable too

Venice for sure. My 3000+ (E6) can push 2.6 on stock voltage and fan. I don't see the need to run at that all of the time seeing how my video card is a bit of a bottleneck.

 

[dug777]

Any one had both a 3000+ & a 3200+?

got a 2800 newcastle from 1.8 to 2.2 which is pretty decent

My 2800 Newcastle went up to 2.53 stable . I would take the venice btw, as I heard heard the overclocking is just insane on those... Oh well, I'm getting an X2 4200 for 200$, meaning it's upgrading time baby .

My Venice E3 3000+ goes to 2.25 on a Jetway mATX board, it could go higher as I had it up to 2.4, but the board's nic disappeared over that because it only had a 4x or 5x HTT multi.

I have an MSI k8n diamond plus on the way to see if I can't hit 2.5~2.6 with it.

whoa newcastle 2800 at 2.53? what board and psu?

 

[KBTuning]

im running a 3000+ Winchester at 2.25GHz @1.45v day in and day out.... if i could crank my voltage over stock i would be up in 2.4 GHz range but hey i guess going from 1.8Ghz to 2.25 isnt too bad

 

[customcoms]

Winchester 3000+ at 2.5ghz on 1.52v day in and day out (21hrs prime stable before I cut it). However, my previous winchester was only good up to about 2.25 with nearer 1.6v; it was a good 2ghz day in and day out deal. I'd go with the venice, or an opty if you can get one.

 

[xSeongminx]

Pics will be up soon, with the cpu running at 2.6 I'm using a 350watt smartpower made by antec, and I'm sporting the NForce-3A. Btw, does anyone know where I would enable IRDA? Thanks. Btw, the 2.6 is on budget ram, so I believe there is more left in the cpu.

I'll also add the x2 . Just picked it up.

 

[xSeongminx]

Here it is . I'll get pics of the X2 later, once I get back home.

Budget ram at 3-3-3-5 .

Thie setup is prime stable at 2560 (23x ram) however.

How did you get Vcore that high? +5.1%? And you're running 133 RAM speed with 3x HT? So the ECS NF3 250 can go up to 290MHz.
