Hi guys :)
any idea concerning 3200+ LBBLE 0516 BPEW ? I searched on the venice stepping database but I didn't find it.. :(
I had a LBBLE 0516 CPCW on 3000+ and it was poor oc.. 2655 max @ 1.60.

s7e9h3n - what MSI mobo do you have?
Venice 3200+ LBBLE 0516 EPGW
Tt ComboCoolPipe 101+Tt SilentCat
2912MHz
Didn't check 32M but pretty sure it wouldn't pass.
Prime95 stable at 2720MHz@1,488V
check the official OC'ing section not this discussion one, I know there's atleast a couple people with phase change, mostly prometias, don't think theres any dual or triple cascades though.Quote:
Does anyone with a venice have phase? Just curious. All these seem like air and water. I just want to know if they have cold bugs.
I'm almost certain one guy was showing 3.2GHz with his phase change
3.3ghz with the 3500+.. i mean the guy with phase change
what is the stock multiplier on the venice 3000+?

Gogo :D
This is about all I can get stable on air with 1.5 vcore, not bad..... :cool:
Decided that 2750Mhz will be my 24/7 setting, max temps loaded 28C system, 46C cpu... @1.50v
Will bump to 1.55 later and see if 2800 is reachable and stable...
ok, i'm stable 2.610 (290x9) at 1.488v, and then the cpu hits a damn wall, 295htt even with 1.5vx110%, the hard drive shuts down before windows finishes loading and pc reboots. using a 2/3 divider for my kingmax value pc3200 (186mhz), 7/10 (203mhz) won't pass memtest, even with 2.9vdimm. i find this really strange since its only 3mhz over, and i'm using 2.5, 4, 4, 8 timings. at first windows wouldnt boot even with the 2/3 divider, but i figured out that what was happening. when i was using the 2/3 divider, the mobo was assuming that the ram was running at 133mhz, and was adjusting all the settings i left on auto to really agressive timings, but htt being 290, the ram couldn't handle it. so i put the ram back 1:1 and booted up with stock 200htt and all the ram on auto, loaded up A64 Tweaker (thanks for a very helpful util) and wrote down all the timings, went back to bios and entered them, and now im stanble at 290htt and 2/3 didvider, but 7/10 should work also. there are more settings in the dram config that a64 tweaker doesnt detect and i dont know what to do with them (never seen them before the dfi) and i feel that the mobo is still adjusting them for 140mhz when i chose 7/10 and holding me back. any ideas?

thats a load temp that mbm5 is showing, i took the screen shot just as super pi finished, the xp-120 is really an amazing product.
ps: how do you attatch thumnails like that, linked to a xtremesystems hosted image?
heres 2850 super pi not stable thpough but can do everything else
I have a 3500+ Venice LBBLE 0516CPAW @2.7GHz with 1.63V :/
I have 6000MB/s bandwidth in Everest with the new Venice...why? before i got near 8000!

I like how you seperated stable and benching as well as air/water/phase change. Honestly, that is very cool.Quote:

Damn man, nice. Best LBBLE stepping I've seen. I should have ripped you off and kept it. ;) Just kidding of course. Congrats.
YES! I can't wait to test mine. :woot: :banana: :cool:Quote:

Yeah, I'm gona be cranking up the vocre now, and testing above 1.450
for the record prime 95 stable on 1.450v was 2840mhz. :D
im hitting close to 2.8 on some generic heatsink right now...gotta order my replacement waterblock and see what this thing can do
Guys where can I get the LATEST A64 tweaker? I got version 0.50 XT but there is a more recent one. Can't seem to find it.
Right from DFI's site. (I'm assuming you're running an NF4 derivative?) Just go into the BIOS/drivers downloads section for your board and it'll be there.Quote:

Also I got my Ocz Rev.2 today but im having trouble with it if anyone can help me please pm me I don't want to go off topic.
Thanks any help is very much appreciated.
are you joking?
what is your cpu, 1.4+10% = 1.54 and I doubt a lot of venice are capable of hanging that at 3ghz
Seeing the same problem with a San Diego 3700+ at 272x10, 2.5-3-3-6. Gets 6100 buffered, when I should be getting well over 7k.Quote:

I thought it's the board: 9NDA3+ with latest BIOS that is supposed to support Rev. E chips, but you got a DFI NF4.
I think it's a bug in Everest, as my performance is excellent due to the 1 MB L2 cache: I estimate a +500-800 point increase in 3DMark2001 over a Winnie at same clock/ram timings.

3ghz would be easy :woot: but the system is shuting down lol... damit.
If im in windows I bump up the vcore and start priming but then randomly it competely shuts off. :stick: have to throw the switch on the psu. To get it to power on again, I think its the psu, I got alot of fans and lights :rolleyes: :p:
I want to buy a venice tonight. Where should I order from newegg or monarch? I want to get a 3200 retail. I know it's cheaper at newegg but are the stepping better from monarch?
Nice, these LBBLE 0515/0516's APAW's seem pretty good. I know one came from retail 3200+ at monarch, the same for the rest of you guys?
4rory, what is your cooling again? I dont want to sift through the thread looking for it.
What's the BEST Venice I can buy for overclock?
Which of them: 3000+, 3200+ or 3500+?
What series/stepping?
I had an Winchester CBBID and now Venice 3000+ LBBLE 0516CPBW and they sucks for oc.
My Venice needs 1.525v to do 2.4GHz :(
I just **CAN'T** buy a bad CPU again.
I want 2.7~2.8GHz to use daily. Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu.
Xp-90 with tornado turned all the way down, the difference between this fan turned all the way down till it almost stalls and full tilt is like 2degree :S but it cools my ram nice. :D Neo is reporting bad temps my temp sensor says the max it hits is 33c
@higherøx mine did 2.8 on stock vcore.

Perhaps I need to provide more detail. My clocks run all four Marks (including both CPU tests in 3DMark2003/2005), Aquamark, SuperPI 1M/32M, PCMark2004 Pro all tests, Sandra Arith, Sandra Multi, CodeCreatures, UT2003 bench, Xisle (Nvidia cards), both GunMetal demos, the IL-2 Sturmovik and SS2nd Encounter demos for 30', in short: everything in 3D I can throw at it and any CPU tests I can throw at it. If you want to believe the clocks are unstable just because I don't run Prime that's up to you. I believe in functional stability for my purposes.Quote:

Lol tried, it doesn't make enough of a diffrence, I can get 3ghz just not prime stable. I've booted at 3100mhz didnt try higher.

Yeah, I'm already planning on selling off the bugger, taking a slight loss, and buying a better stepping. Unfortunately, that'll have to wait until I finish my law school exams (end of first year, here I come) this week and then get married next week.
Well...probably.... :woot:
Any ideas on how to guarantee a given stepping? I live a few miles from Newegg's NJ warehouse, wonder if they'd let me take a look around? (I wouldn't count on it.)
-aMp-
LOL, Newegg is an office in CA, the warehouse, well it's probably the type of thing you'll see in the outskirts of Newark or Jersey city, some beatup old building with no windows. I doubt you can come over and say "hey can I look at your cpu's, amd specifically and out of the 3 thousand in stock I'd like to see the venice cpu's and i'd like to hand pick them. I don't think the staff is prepared for that kind of a direct inquiry, they probably deal with just numbers that point them in the direction of the product being sold through the CA office. The thought has probably crossed all our minds, but let us know how goes it if you do venture. :clap:Quote:

:slobber: You're lucky!
My computer can't prime at all.... This is the most "stable" I have gotten....Check the Vcore :eek: But I can do SuperPi 32M at 300x9 :rolleyes:
I think the messages you post in one of the venice threads are appearing in the other and viceversa Jomiy, this happened to me twice when I quoted a message in one thread but ultimately my message came out in the other.
Yes, i have aprox 1000MB/s more bandwidth in Sandra than everestQuote:

I haven't seen an EPAW's around. but so far one's starting with E's are particularly good.
Jomiy:
My San Diego shuts down at anything over 240 FSB/HTT so do not feel bad bro. This is with 1.60 Volts! Needless to say I am pretty pissed off. I thought it was my power supply too (had an Aero Cool II+ 550W) so I got a new supply with dual 12V+ and it made no difference in how high I could overclock.
I am thinking its possibly my memory causing the problem (OCZ PC3500 GOLD Rev 3.0) but the more I think about it, I think the memory controller on this processor is a POS so I am going to order a Venice today and see if it does the same thing. If so, I will return the Venice and buy some new ram. If that doesn't fix it, only thing left is the MOBO which wouldn't surprise me b/c MSI is taking their time with a bios update..
I can't seem to apply over 1.6 vcore with it just turning off on me!!! I want 3ghz :slapass: , whats the highest vcore safe for air, since i can't relie on my temps.
I'm having trouble with my ocz rev2 seems to be able to do 225 at 2-2-2-5 that parts great but I can't get it aboutve 280, well i had it at 2.80 fine now i get thousands of errors, i've tried so many things i've lost track, think it was the bios change. I needed to run 1:1 or I won't be able to sleep well at night.
I just did a superpi run at 2.8 and ram at 280 2.5-3-3-7 and did 30 secound does that sound about right?
What kind of drop in times would 3ghz bring?
Ahh, you have the same mobo as me.. isn't that funny.. I DO NOT understand why these things shut off b/c it is NOT heat related on my system and its NOT power related either. It is either:
A.) Bad mobo
B.) Bad ram (I ran my winchester @ 240 FSB 1:1 3-3-6 2.8V 0 errors)
C.) Memory controller on the processor is bad
My system I see 48C-49C under load and this is only at 245x11 :( Highest Vcore on air I would go is 1.65, which I've done, and it STILL shuts off after 2 hrs of playing Guild Wars or letting UT2k4 loop. I have tried every bios for the K8N Neo 2 and I cannot figure out what is causing my rig to shut down. Possibly chipset overheating but I doubt it.
This is with an XP-90+92mm Tornado on highest setting, 7 case fans, shop fan in front of the system. I can touch my heatsink and ram RIGHT AFTER the system shuts down and they aren't even barely warm.
I have no other ideas short of trying this:
1.) Run ram slackest timings as possible I.E. I have it running 3-4-4-8 2T @ 255MHZ
2.) Run processor @ 1.72V (K8N undervolts)
3.) I just decided to put a 80mm tornado on directly in front of my chipset fan to see if it was overheating.
Between the three, I will start to elminate them one-by-one. I pretty much decided my ram is not the problem since it was stable at one time 1:1 @ 240 FSB with my winchester no shut offs. Now I will say this processor will do 240 HTT as well, same ram timings, but it shuts off anything over 240 on the San Diego.
Maybe between the two of us we can figure this out since we have similar systems. I think the mobo is at fault here :rolleyes:
BTW-I have seen a couple guys in the San Diego thread have 56-60C temps and their systems never shut off like ours with a DFI Nforce 4. I wonder if there is some type of issue with these chips and the Nforce 3 boards at certain voltages?
Well I haven't been able to figure it out as of yet either, this board is a really b**** when it comes to clearing the cmos.
My board will do ~385 htt I haven't played with agp voltages yet, as I don't think its like the intels where it helps the memory controller. But the board seems to have lots of head room left.
My ram did 280 the first day now it does about 275 :S I've been switching bios alot trying to get the ram to perform better. But I'll deal with this later.
Right now i'm running 9*322 for 2999mhz @ 1.6v in corecenter really its 1.5v
I agree lets try to solve this dam problem, I know I can run higher vcores because the thermal probe on my heatsink has yet to hit 30c. So I gona keep trying bioses and try to take as much out of the equation as possbile.
I no longer think its my psu, I thought it was something to do with the processor and it shutting it's self down to proctect against highvcore or maybe temps. I don't know but ill keep testing and keep you posted let me know if you find anything new, current bios is 1.41mod.
Ps. do you know what effects the weak and normal drive strength? in bios does? or anything to help the ram clock better?
Get a descent host ;)Quote:

Cpu info lbble 0515 apaw.
Your using the same board as us, try to use 1.7 in core center or bios 10%+
see if your systems reboots.
10*290 is stable at 1.400+ 5% for 1.5vcore. for 7 hours prime.
So I booted at 10*290 1.400+ 8.3% for 1.55vcore and then did some memtest32 in bios and it shut off before complete a full run. :S I tried playing with the thermal shutdown, figured maybe even tho it was disabled it was shutting down at say 60, so i set it to 70, but still no go.
I don't know what else to try on that test I took everything out of the equation I could think of. You have any luck?
Maybe these new boards have a problem applying over 1.55vcore? I got my board a month ago, what about you?
try different multis, some cpus seem to hate certain multipliers.
i have had my board since it first came out. I read about how the first batch were complete crap so its no surprise mine is a POS.
I just did everthing above, it FINISHED superpi (32m) and I come back after a nap and my pc was off again. The amazing thing to me is if it were heat and or the processor:
A.) It would shut off sooner
B.) It shouldn't run right!
I had superpi going, guild wars in the background, and winamp running all at the same time for an hr before it shut down. I had a 80mm tornado on the chipset, and ran the ram as slack as possible.
I wish I wouldnt of canceled my venice order now just to help eliminate that it is the actual board and not that we got bad processors. I see people all the time with our boards and these processor, why is ours shutting down!? You are the first I've seen to have this happen.
Mine can run 3ghz and shut down, I bet yours shuts down even lower then you are saying. Try running it 10x260 1.60-1.65V and I bet you it shuts down..
yeah thats what I ran a setting I know was stable and at 1.55vcore (1.5+8.3%) and it shutdown before it finished all the testes in memtest32. :( damit.
Ok i'm gona go get multi 7 and 8 at 300htt with 1.55+ vcore.
Maybe its the mosfets on the board overheating? But my tornado is cooling my board like mad the air flow is insane and so is the noise im going crazy.
You said you lasts a few hours? Mine donesn't last more then 10 mins :confused:
250FSB will last a couple hours. 260 FSB is like 30 min maybe if I'm lucky. I wonder if those mosfits are overheating as well? My airflow is amazing in this case and I just don't know what else could be "overheating"
I am running 240x11 1.65V (undervolts to 1.60V) and I am having no problems at all. I really wonder if we got bad chips, or if our it truly is our mobos? I was going to buy a venice and see but now that you have the same problem I doubt thats it.
I tried 270x10 with no luck, system still shuts down. :(
Can someone please offer up some suggestions?
So far I tried 290*7 and at 1.5+8.3% and it finished one round about 15 mins then I moved up to 8 multi and it passes now it's doing 9 multi.
Only thing I did was remove the side panel and lean it againt my case.
the 9 multi passes.
interesting, let me know how 9 works out for you. I want at least 2700ghz and i'll be happy. If 9 doesn't crash on you I will try it as well. What HTT are you using for 9, and what HT multiplier? I assume 3x? What ratio on the memory?
Do you think its our memory or the boards?
My memory is out of the equation its running 183 2-2-2-5 well with in spec and it's memtest right.. im not getting any errors so I think the mems fine.
Read up I posting the 9 multi as passing.
ok, what HTT and HT did you use, I will do mine now. Do you have aim or msn?
Yeah I got msn I'll send you it via pm, the 10 multi just passes at 290fsb and i'm gona let it loop again just to make sure then go up in steps of 2mhz from there, maybe you just have to break the board in.
300httx9 HT3x 166 divider on the ram, 250mhz @ 2.5-4-4-8 2T=shut down after 20 min :( temps 46C

I'm getting help over at the ocz forums about this.
I got +8.3% to boot into windows with 3ghz, right now i'm gona work on my ram then ill try for 3ghz stable.
ists looking so, that my 3500+ is getting stable now @ 2700 mhz and aircooling after some weeks. but i have to give him 1,61v. thats a lot of juice with aircooling.
see what'd I tell ya about multis, also if you got TCCD try lowering your vcore, if you got UTT do the opposite.
Looking for suggestions.
My 3500+ venice seems to be a good ocer. here are some faint infos that i can remember off hand. it's a LBBLE 0515 or 0516 week and it's PAW. I have the codes at home. Anyhow, i've been playing with it for a few days now. My setup is a dfi nf4 sli-d with an antec 550W psu with 24pin connector, xp-120 with an antec 120mm pro fan(slow spinning, but supposed to have good airflow). Now for the ocing parts. it can boot into winxp at 2904 264x11 with g.skill pc3200 2.5-4-3-7 at vdimm 2.9 and vcore is 1.5 x 1.13%. 1M superpi passed, sorry i don't have screenshots(didn't bother to save it). 260x11 seems to be a stable speed for me with vcore at 1.5x1.10% which passed 8M superpi and 32M superpi. Prime95 will not run stable though :(. here are some more infos, room temp is a bit hot, but don't have a thermo to measure temp. :(. case temp(no idea, prolly hot too), 2 120mm fans in case(back is sucking hot air out and front is also sucking air out), 120mm fan on cpu is blowing air on xp-120. which is better? sucking or blowing air on heatsink? Right now i'm waiting on cooler master aquagate mini(watercooling) or asetek vapochill micro. I know this cpu has potential for better ocing, but i really don't want to spend too much on cooling like mach 2 or phase :). any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. thanks.
Havent really been following this as I go Pentium M now.
Whats the verdict on the Venice? Higher %-overclock than the Winchesters on average?

hrmm this is odd. i post a reply to desertshooter's post in the official venice overclocking thread and it ended up here. i wonder why? any ideas mod? thanks.
Because the Official thread is for results ONLY, this one is for all the variable-value chit-chat :)Quote:

Been getting some pretty sad results with memory and memory controller, seems liek diffrent multis are worth a diffrent overclock with diffrent volts, I have to bassically test every setting. 10 * 280 is cpu stable my memory is stable to 295 with a 7 multi, but with 10 multi and 280 fsb i can only get 275, with other multis it only get werid and harder to overclock. :S dam it these a64 are such a pain in the a** it seems.
Testing my new venice on AIR
For now finnish 2825mhz 32m while i am @ Xtremesystems.org
3000+Venice
CBBLE 0512DPAW batch 0151
Got me new venice (well first venice)
Running it with water (water temp is around 30c now due to ambient temp of 29c inside room... hot hot -_-)
Priming @ 2.7ghz @ stock volt for last 20 mins or so.
I think I might have more fun later :p
3200+
LBBLE 0515APAW
One thing is, I never saw APAW before... (starting with A?)
What does that signify?
Quick update.
vs stock 1.36 vcore of running prinme @ 2.7ghz... 1.57v nets measly 2.85ghz prime stable for past 30 mins... Not a bad result in anyway but I am running out of room with temperature. (it seems to be aboue 10c higher on cpu temp under same voltage vs winchester I had... instead of going to 42c under prime, now it hovers around 52c under same voltage I was running winchester at... -_-)
Could be mobo isn't reading the core temp wrong by 10c but I will play safe until I hear a little more verdict. (the cpu is cooled by BIP3 with 3 panaflo M1A 7v and MCP600 Storm g4, GPU has its own loop with similar component) Based on reviews, etc on storm G4, I should be getting about 10-11c above water temp but there is that extra 10c where I am not sure is coming from.
Since I am going for 24x7 setup with 100% stability, I will settle for this for time being. If someone can enlighten me on this interesting temp issue, please let me know.
PS) it even reads 10c higher on core even at stock setting vs stock winchester.
This seems to the best that I can do. This went on to run prime for almost 4 hours before it errored out. Completely stable in windows though, I can game all day long.

285x9=2.56GHZ w/ 1.67v
180mhz divider
When I try 290x9 prime fails immediately no matter what voltage I give it. I don't think this is the limit of my chip yet but I don't know why I can't get higher. Can someone help me out?
Edit: I forgot to mention that this is with highend watercooling.

Did you try dropping the HTT multiplier to 2.5x or 3x? You might want to try a new BIOS, too.
I've tried a bunch of different bios' and I'm already using LDT multi of 3x.
Well all day I've been playing with the memory, trying to get it to run with the cpu, what a pain in the a**, Cpu keeps causing memory errors so far best I can do is 10*280 ram 1:1 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.6volts 2t :( even then i left it runing #5 while i went to watch star wars and it errored 10 times in 5 hours so I dont think I'll be able to run my 2.9ghz with ram 1:1 what a shame, ram does 295 at these timings and into the 310+ with 2.5-4-3-7 :( o well I'll play with it more later but right now I just want to use my system. So tired of dam rebooting like a million times, guess I can try a new bios to. I dont know will see what happens seems like a wack memory controller.
So far 2.8ghz stable at stock vcore 2.9ghz stable at 1.5vcore and i can boot 3ghz easy but need to work on it to stablize, but right now i dont see the point in 3ghz since my ram memory controller it seems is stuggling.
4rory:
I don't know WTF the deal is with our stuff, but my setup went from bad to just complete and utter crap. I can't even do 240 FSB 1:1 anymore 2.5-3-3-6 1T without it shutting down now.
I am about to say screw it and either buy some new ram and try it, and if that doesnt work just sell the damn processor and mobo and start over, or just keep it stock clocks. I am really sick of my system shutting off in the middle of playing a game and cannot figure out what is causing this problem. I have a feeling it is our chips b/c my ram was perfectly fine with a 240 FSB on my winchester!!!!!
Got my 3200+ in yesterday:
Stepping
Stable at 2.75Ghz @ 1.5V so far. Prime, Super Pi and OCCT. I think 2.8Ghz is possible, but this thing doesn't like much in the way of voltage increases.
Compared to my '05 Winchester its insane though. :banana:
Yeah we might have dmged our chips :S my neo2 reported pretty high temps but that was with lower vcore...
I've spent countless hours trying to get my ram stable its just a matter of tring every setting in ever possible configuration, then up it 2 mhz and do it again. :(
Mine will still shutdown if i go high with vcore, I dont know what to say email msi about the board and tell them that, just don't tell them your overclocking or they will just blame it on that and ignore you like asus did to me.
Are you trying to run with your ram under 200mhz?
I made it to 280*10 with 1.575 stable but too hot for my taste... runnin an Alpha 8150 with my TT-SmartFan at 5k rpm (max) at about 50C loaded.Quote:

Very satisfied with my results..................
Can your memory controller pull the memory at those speed, if the memory is capable of it, mine seems to be picker then my mother.
just when I thought I had mine stable the b**** shut down again in the middle of guild wars. I can run SuperPI 32m endless times and it wont shut off. Give it 1 hr of guild wars and down it goes. Hit me up on msn I have something to tell you that I found out.
Is a 3200+ LBBLE 0516 EPEW a good choice?
My goal: 2.7GHz at least, do not passing over 1.65~1.67v
Thanks

Any results with a
LBBLE 0516 GPBW

That def explains it then. Guild Wars seems to make it shut down faster then 3dmark or anything else so that is my "stability" tester :) I run superPI while having guildwars minimized in the background.
I found out that even though core center said my cpu voltage was 1.63-1.65 it was actually OVER 1.70 volts. I discovered this on accident by clicking the red arrow on the side of the core center. I lowered the voltage from 1.55V to 1.45V+0.8% CPU overvid and this seemed to make it stable (not shutting off) but I still cant run anything stable @ 250 HTT without guild wars locking up :(
The saga continues..
Well, I was finally able to install Win 2k3, and I did it at 2.7GHz at stock voltage with my LBBLE 0515APAW 3200+. I figure installing an operating system is at least indicative of stability because if it were to fail at something, it would be a major operation like that. :)
I'll do some more in-depth stability tests later.
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is my real world tester. Its one of the primary games i play and i have yet to see a game that cooks a CPU as much as Morrowind does.Quote:
