The Venice OC DISCUSSION Thread

@TEDY: Asynchronous mode ?

yes....BH-5 won't run 300 :D

RAM is borked as it wont go higher even at a lower multi.Very strange.

Got some Ballistic coming this week so ill see how that goes.

Over 4 hours on prime95 @ 2.543 - 5/6 corsair XMS pc 3700 (max FSB for that ram) 1.5v

dropped it down to 3/4 ratio and booted in at 2.7 but fails prime - probably needs some tweaking and more juice

My 0516 needs 1.7vcore stable to do 2.7. Try that.

Venice is still pwnding :slapass: Look at those insane clocks, I'm almost use to them already.

If so, then that's worth nothing since memtest stability doesn't always translate into windows stability. It took me awhile to find settings which would work with my G.skill FF's and this particular Venice. For some reason or another, the FF's don't want to run as tight as I'd like and they're very picky about timings @ 300+Mhz. Try loosening up the timings and see if it will help. Also, it may not be the best idea to run a 2x12v psu with these newer AMD setups. How low do your 12v rails dip when you're benching? One of the most important items in an OC'd rig is the PSU. Personally, I'm using a Zippy700W - 45A on the 12V rail :cool: Running 1.72Vcore an MAX board settings, I didn't see the 12V rail drop even .01 volts.

I know but I'm very disapointed =(
My memory are stable in memtest and Windows, in all aplications I run, superpi32mb too.
I don't have a multimeter to see how this psu is doing. But the man that get 2.7GHz with the """same""" Venice as mine, has the same PSU, same cooling... too. And he has a X850XTPE, I just have 6600GT.

Seeing the results, what the BEST venice 3200+ LBBLE do you think I can purchase (week, codes etc)?

For example: LBBLE 0516CPBW etc etc.

Thanks

Just got mine:

3000+ venice
LBBLE 0517 DPMW

Running right now at 300*9=2700mhz 1,4v with stock hsf (51C at full load)
Prime stable for 1 hour so far.
Seems like a fine chip :=)

I'd like to know where these 0517s are coming from. :slobber:

i got mine
Venice 3000+ OEM from monarch

LBBLE 0516 CPBW

running 2700mhz @ 1.66v , not bad (running on water)

but i cannot boot under -8C with dry ice, any one got the same issues ?

I got one too:

Venice 3000+ Retail from mWave.com:

LBBLE 0515 APAW

Currently overclocked to: 9x276MHz Prime95 stable and pushing for more.
(Runs 9x333MHz stable just not prime stable. Slowing tweaking and tuning for stable 2.7GHz+)

I'm just wondering, how much voltage can I really give it? I'm not afraid to push the
volts, I had 2.225v in my 2100+ T-Bred "B" back in the day. Still works to the day.

Think I have any of these set too high? :stick:
(Shot taken during Blend Torture Test on P95)

I was going to place an order with newegg for a 3000 venice. Has anyone had any good luck on the batches that they have in stock? I really would be happy with a 2ghz -2.5 GHZ Air cooled O/C I am going to use:

Psupply: 600 Watt OCZ PowerStream
Board: DFI Ultra-D
CPU: 3000 Venice( newegg?)
Ram: OCZ Value Series 1GB (512MB)Winbond newegg link
Vid Card: Gigabyte x800xlnewegg link

Ne Ideas on how the newegg chips are?

LBBLE0515APAW 3200+ Venice
Cooling: XP90 + Panaflo high speed, AS5

Stock Vcore set in bios, however, 2.8 will not stabilize no matter what i do
2.75 is rock solid at 1.475 Vcore

I got mine from komplett.no (Norway)

Hm seems like i can`t get get over 280mhz fsb in 200 and 166 mode, have to
go down to 100 to get over 300mhz fsb.
Im useing the msi k8N2 with 2x corsair xms 4000 512mb(500mhz)
In 166 mode the ram is only running at 230mhz when i set the fsb to 280, still the computer restarts.
Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this?

Is your corsair memory able to run at 280 mhz?
It's like ddr 600 I mean and your memory is pc4000, which is supposed to run at 250 mhz at stock volts.
Do you know your memory max reachable?
Your problem might be your mem in fact :)

Ive got a 3200 venice, with the following stepping

LBBLE 0518 APFW

I haven't seen another one around yet, must be a new batch, anyway here's my max HTT:

http://members.optusnet.com.au/hjforsyth/max_htt.jpg

Still waiting for my Ultra-D to arrive so haven't tried much more yet. That result was on a K8NF-9.

Got Venice 3000+ 0517 APHW LBBLE running 325 Mhz x 9 (2.925 Mhz) 1.66v on water

I took out pair of Mushkin blue and found out something funny. I can't overclock anywhere near where I was with 1T on. It seems to be some kind of bios issue (2x512mb).... Using DFI-NF4 Ultra with my venice. Any clue on which bios works with the 1T UTT overclocked decently? These sticks did 2-2-2-5 245mhz 3.2v as a pair on winchester, 1T. Now I am stuck using 2T only with 2 sticks (was on 2t for 4 sticks before)...
There must be something I am missing.

Hi!

I just got my Venice 3200+ from NCIX (retail box). I was able to go up to 2.8 Ghz but it wasnt stable at all ( 280 * 10 ). I gave it more juice ( vcore = 1.55 v) and it's stable @ 2.7 Ghz (270 * 10) now. My max HTT was around 430. I did ( 430 * 6 ) and I was able to get in windows and get a SS. Temps are around 38 Idle and ~42 load with Zalman 7700Cu. Unfortunately, my ram is very bad. Corsair 3200LL @ 2-3-2-5 with 2.9V. I cant do more than 210 Mhz with these sticks. Memtest fails the last two tests which are #5 and #6 if I go any higher. So, I have to run a divider (3/4). Currently, I have my system stable @ 2.7 Ghz 1.55 V with a 3/4 divider.

First, What do u guys think of this OC? I know my ram is holding me back big time but I dont think that I could find anyone without waterchill stable above 2.8!!
Second, Do u have any suggestions on how I might get a better OC out of my current situation?

Yeah i was running my old winchester 3000+ at 280mhz fsb 1:1 without any problems. Its seems like other Msi K8N2 users have the same problem also, maybe the bios update msi is working on with official support for the venice can solve it.
