Venice 3200+ OC Troubles

I dropped this Venice 3200+ into a system that was running a Winchester 3000+ @ 2.5GHz (280x3 HT, 1.5V). Any HTT speed above 220 makes Windows crash on bootup (just after the black XP splash screen). I lowered the multiplier to 8 and it wouldn't even run at 230x8 (1.8GHz). I've tried upping the voltage to 1.45, running the RAM at the lowest divider, swapping RAM slots, lowering the HT multiplier to 3x, and reseating the CPU multiple times and it still crashes at 230HTT. Temps are lower than the Winchester (37C load) Any suggestions?

Put back the 3000 winchester and retest. Perhaps you need a BIOS update for the Venice core.

List ALL your settings with the Winchester...DDR, LDT, FSB, and V.

37C at full load is abnormally low.

I already have the latest BIOS (Venice is supported)

Winchester 3000+
280x3
RAM divider at 133 (183MHz actual, 5-2-3-2-1T), 2.7V
1.5V Vcore

What exactly am I retesting if I put the Winchester back in?

It does 2.2 on stock voltage (1.35V) I can't imagine that it would need 1.55 to hit 2.3GHz. I'll give it a shot but I have a feeling I'm just glossing over some BIOS setting.
 
Try the ram divider at 100 ( 1/2 HTT) and do some testing. I seem to recall someone having a similar problem and higher HTT was attainable using the 100 divider. All the other dividers caused a problem. I don't remember the particulars, but it's worth a try.
 
What Hard drive are you using? If it is a SATA drive, which port are you using. On my 9NDA3+, when my drive is in 3 or 4, I cannot get above 230 HTT...

I went through that with my Winchester and had to move my Raptors to 1 and 2. It's Priming at 2.55GHz (255x10, 4x HTT) 1.55V right now, we'll see what happens. RAM is set to 100MHz divider
 
Took 1.65V to run 2.6GHz and still crashed when I went to reboot. 2.55 seemed OK but I'll probably throw the Winchester back in and sell the Venice.
