Should I sell my Newcastle 3500+ for a Venice?

[mb]

The best I can OC to is 2310mhz, and even that is pushing it temperature wise. Would I be better off with a 3000+ Venice and OC'ing that? Or should I at least get a 3500+ Venice?

Got the money? Got the will to overclock? Go for it!

oh god yes

sell your 3500+ to some jerk on eBay

snap up the Venice 3000+ for $120, make sure it's the newer (E6?) revision

you will probably make money and get an extra 300-900 mhz
plus it will run cooler

Thanks, I went ahead and placed an order at ewiz!

Hehe, he recommended the E6 revision, which so far seems to OC even worse than the older ones :laugh:

lmao!
go with a venice if you actually care. although 2.3 GHz is not exactly slow.. i am sure that will run anything just fine.

I have a 3500 Venice on the way

If it can do over 2200mhz at a lower temp than my 3500+ I'll be happy.

er...seems like they are no more or less hit-and-miss than the E3s

I have seen some ungodly OCs from 'good' E6s.
