Venice overclocking poll.

[TraumaRN]

I have a cursed E3 stepping, it does the 270X9 as stated in my sig but to get to 2.5+ requires insane voltages, I managed to get it to boot into windows and benchmark at 285x9 but that was with CPU volt at 1.65.....and on air thats pretty ugly....i figure when AM2 comes out I'll pick up an Opty or 3500+ and try my luck again...

At least a 600mhz OC is nothing to sneeze at. Some people can't get more than 200mhz, from what I read.

Wow, your 7800GT can hit 1270 mem? Best I can do is 501/1200 from a stock 400/1000 on my MSI.

It can hit 1270 but it's not always stable there(i bet if i volt modded it would be but i dont wanna take a chance)...stable it can do 1250, but i run it at 1200 since I dont need the speed, core is stable at 500 tho.

And I know 600 is nothing to sneeze at, it's just frustrating cuz if I drop the multi to 8 my CPU HTT can hit about 305-306 before it gets unstable...ahhh well YMMV as they say

Errm... Sincity... Lower your HT to 3x maybe...? You should be able to hit 300MHz with that board...

EDIT: Your Venice looks to do pretty well at high speeds... Therefore lower your multiplier to 9x, set your RAM to 133MHz (3:2), and up the HTT to 300MHz... 2.7GHz with a AC Freezer 64 Pro is np... 😉

If you set the divider this way, your RAM will run at 200MHz when your HTT is @ 300MHz... Then you'll be able to set the lowest timings possible...

Wentelteefje:

So, performance wise, it is better to have a higher HT/Lower multiplier?

 

[Wentelteefje]

There isn't much of a difference to note (except if your RAM goes up as well 😛), but you'll have a more "even" overclock, and your RAM will run at stock, so you'll be able to tighten the timings and force 1T...

This is a near-ideal plan for an overclock...

First post on the forums. 🙂

So...My 3000+ LBBLE 0515 is at 2.7ghz (1.504v)
I can suicide at 2.9ghz (1.7v) but it isn't bench stable.

I managed toverclock my venice 3000 to 2800MHZ .What is the difference between E3,E6,DH-E3,DH-E6?

Stable as hell... Can post at 2.7Ghz, but I don't want to increase more than 1.5V

Huh? How can you have a multiplier of 11 on a 3000+?

that's what i was thinking😕

Ran my Venice 3500 @ 3.2Ghz on my Prommie. Now on a 148 @ 3+Ghz on air..not hooked up to the Prommie yet.

 

[WelshBloke]

venice 3500 @ 2607 248*10.5 with 1.5v on air with near silent cooling (sl180 with stealth fan)

Probably could go higher if abit put out a new bios with decent memory dividers

 

[Blooz]

754 Venice 3000+ @2650, 1.58v most of the time (SuperPi32m/OCCT/Prime stable)

It'll game for hours at 2.7 np, but I'm still workin' on stability testing at that speed.

 

[RallyMaster]

3200+ at 2.4Ghz (240x10 1.56VCore, 1.65V NB)

 

[Zap]

939 Venice 3200+ in wife's system, 2.4GHz stock vcore and 2.5GHz+ boosted vcore. Running at 2.4GHz and system is near silent.
