Well, unfortunately these weeks 19 and 20's won't overclock very well.
The best overclocks I have seen are with Venices week 17, 12 and 15 (week 15 has a poor mem controller in many times).
Good luck

there are a few 19's and 20's that have good overclocks not nearly as many as the earlier steppings.Quote:

Just got this a few days ago from Sucka. 3500 CBBLE 0512DPAW Great chip. So far max benchable is 2.9ghz Here's a screenie. Primed overnight at 2.8with 1.61v, but decided to back off to 2.75 with less voltage. Funny thing is that with 11 multi I can't get passed 11x255. Tried 11x256 all the way past 1.7v, get bsod before windows. At 10x290, boots just fine. Using 5/10 bois. Any body have any ideas?
4X4N, some chips just like certain multipliers more than others, i can't explain it.
Hmm, is that so, I guess I'll have to try some other multis.
Delirious, the Neo4 platinum doesn't go above 1.45 volts? That sounds wrong, are you sure you're adding the %s to it? Maybe it goes to 1.45 but then you can do +3, 5, 8, or 10% to it. That's how it worked on my Neo2 platinum.
I have a week 15 3200+ Venice and it has no problem running 2.8Ghz but i would have to agree that it seems to have a weak memory controller. It doesn't like to run high memory speeds so i sold my TCCD.Quote:

Good luck for me... and for you too :toast:
my 0515 had an unbreakable wall at 2.75 Ghz, nothing seemed to help
hmm, maybe I should ask ocz if they will take my rev.2s back and give me some vxs :D Just maybe.. its worth a shot.
heh, if you do tell me if that stuff plays any nicer with the 0515 mem controller. I know *something* had to be giving mine that crazy wall.

So the percentages work off of what the vcore is at. So if i have it at 1.4, 5% of that would be .07 ontop of the 1.45, giving me at total of 1.52?
Oh I'll report back thats for sure. I'm getting some results right now, there kinda weird ill post back in a bit with more conclusive results.
That's how it's supposed to work, but go really slowly with it because it doesn't work perfectly. You'll definitely be able to use more Vcore but it isn't going to be the mathematically logical #s they should be.Quote:

Really thats alot of droop? On my neo2 for a few hours now, my readings are low 1.46 high 1.54 but i notice that with amd64 when i go under load vcore rises. When i set 1.5 i get 1.49 tho.
Sounds like RMA time to me
I had the same problem with a different MSI board, Neo 875P FIS2R, made it impossible to get a fully stable overclock :nono:
my old abaltron KX18D Pro II, used to fluctuate .1-.15 volts contiuiously. It OC'd fine :confused:
You should see the fluctuations on the POS board in my sig (NOT using now :D ) when set at 1.6Vcore in bios and FSB anything over 230 it goes from 1.488 upto 1.578, biggest POS I have ever bought :stick:Quote:

Yah ill never get another msi, i already had to rma this board once. Just waiting for the an8 ultra to become available so i can pick one of those up.
Just resived my 3000+ venice. It's a 0520 EPMW, and right now I'm running with the stock cooler and stock voltage. So far I have been able to reach 2,9 GHz with stock voltage :slobber: but then it bluescreened :rolleyes:
I'll be testing it futher tonight, and hopefully I'll mount my Vapochill SE tomorrow :stick:
So after 4 venice CPUs, I have got a nice stepping... :banana:
eheheh... i put together my system couple days ago... at 1.49vcore bios (1.47 CPU-Z) i can stresscpu 2.97ghz forever... so happy withmy luck (i seem to be lucky when it comes to computer things like this... i buy cheap hardware and it ends up being sweet, ie.. i've had 3 a64s... 1 newcastle that did 2.6ghz, 1 winchester that did 2.75ghz, and now this monster) ... this is on hyper6...
3.0ghz is proving difficult past a certain temperature... and i need 1.56vcore bios to achieve it... but yeah, i need something better than air cooling (not to mention i need to lap the heatsink, haha)...
when i first suicided at 3.15ghz, i was like whoah wwwttfff... i got a sweet-as chip in my pc...
edit: cpu is an 3000+ 0517 EPMW... i had bought it during my exams a fair few weeks ago, cos I was reading of good results... never expected this though...imagine this on a vapochill... other hardware includes DFI NF4 ultra-d, G.Skill GH BH5 kit (very sweet RAM - but was VERY difficult to get it to play nicely with asynchronous overclocking).
@groovetek did you try prime95?, I'm not familiar with that program, nice chip tho man!
groovetek, nice chip :toast:
EPMW is a good stepping
You have any screenshots for us yet?
