How are the new Venice's looking?

Should I forge ahead and purchase a Venice 3000+ from the web? I checked the local retailers and unfortunently there aren't any selling them. If this new batch isn't clocking well, I'll just go with the 3700+ SD. Btw, I'll be running on air.

I just plugged in a 0520 CPMW LBBLE 3200+ and it's Priming for a few hours at 2.8 GHz @ 1.63V.

Most people I've seen aren't breaking 2.6 with the new venices. Sounds like that is a good one.

I just got a new 520 CPCW and its horrible, it needs nearly 1.7v to do 2.5ghz stable.
I thought it was my system at first, but I picked up a 518 EPAW tonight 3200+ that is and its doin 2.4ghz stable so far on default voltage of 1.36v...Im wondering just how far this baby will go, its not stable at 2.5ghz default voltage, it wouldnt get into windows....so somewhere between 2.4ghz and 2.5ghz is its breaking point on default voltage....I hope it has a lot to go when I raise voltage...we'll find out soon

You consider an 0519 as new?

Well I have one and its a peice of absoulute :banana::banana::banana::banana: :banana::banana::banana::banana:!

I am thinking of swapping it for another one... I can only seem to get a lousy 2.7Ghz out of it and at 1.6V!!

Good to know, I guess. Temps are quite high, though. I am now considering taking the IHS off. Back in the Winch 3000+ @ 2.72 GHz days, it yielded a 8C temperature drop and 50 more Mhz
