I wouldnt personaly attempt 1.8 volts even with vapochill that i have now. 1.7 at the very most is still risky and should only be attempted if you except the responsibility.
The venice/san diegos dont like voltage like the old newcastles did. They are less stable at higher vcore and anything above 1.65-1.7 doesnt seem to help.
I think you should make the choice of what you want to do now.
*You can search for the best stable clock at under 1.65v with your current parts and relax and enjoy it.
*You could sell the cpu and try and buy a better stepping.
*Or you can buy a new motherboard and hope that its not the cpu limiting you.
Its not worth risking your parts. Good luck with what you decide.
It was just for a few minutes 1.8 volts. I`m at 2.7 @ 1.42 volts 24/7 but it`s just the magical 3 Ghz I want, anyway thanks for the cheer up. Good to be here. Thanks.
2.7 @ 1.42 is a SWEET overclock dude.. i have to be at 1.65v to get that.
im so mad i didnt get a 3000... these 3200's just dont overclock as good.
I sapposidaly have a great stepping, and I can only get 3ghz for a superpi1 mill, maybe on another board, with better cooling.
I recently purchased a 3000+ Venice which does 290x9 at 1.45v, but my crappy ram (2x512 of old twinmos ch-5) only goes up to about 220mhz. So I'm stuck running the 133 divider. If I try the 8x multi, I still can't get above 290htt stable (3x ltd) for some reason. It would be nice if I could get to 320x8 with the 133 divider, or have a 150 divider to use for 290x9. I'm currently using the 1.9 official bios. Any suggestions on improving htt?
Boot with the 133 divider and set athlon 64 tweaker to set 150 divider on boot.
Also have you tested Max HTT with the 1.8 bios because for some of us it lets us clock the htt much higher.
hi guy, just got a new mobo msi neo2 running with venice 3200, question where can i find the bios that would allow me to have more vcore for cpu current running official 1.9 and it only go up to 1.65 max, also my venice cpu sux.
thanks

Btw as a guide max on air should be 1.6 volts. With water 1.65, vapochill 1.7 and cascade maybe 1.8. Read the venice overclocking thread and you will see how people killed there chips running 1.7 volts on air after a few weeks of running. They just dont like voltage.
Odd...I tried the official 1.8 and 1.8 rev3 bios and 250x8 with 4x ltd and 166 div worked fine, however 260x8, 3x ltd and 133 div wouldn't even post, and these settings work without any issues on the official 1.9 bios.
Thanks will give it a try, I know not suppose to run over 1.6 volt but my damn venice only max out at 2.45
my LBBLE 0515 APAW is only stable up to 2750 1.7v on water.
Pi 1m 2m stable havent tested higher but Prime 95 fails almost immediately. i dont care about prime though all my games run great no lockups.
1.65v - 2.7gh
1.4v - 2.5
just a bad overclocking chip. i thought i had a real good chip when i first got it but its not... its crap... lol
Lestat, what bios are you using?
1.8rev3 by NFM its the ONLY bios that lets be overclock with massive HTT values.
i can get stable with HTT up to 370mhz.
all other bios have horrible problems giving me htt values above 250~275.
voltage is checked on the motherboard. verified with dmm.
i CAN run 2.7ghz @ 1.65 but again prime will crash but Pi and all games and benchmarks run fine so basically i don't even try to use prime anymore.
i am just ready to get out of the NF3 market and into a nice NF4 board.
The chip started out needing 1.65 at 2.6 then 2.65 now 2.7 but i been running 2.7 for ohhh i guess a little less than a week and nothing has changed.
NFM has made a new 1.36 bios i might try that out.. but agin., just something about 1.8rev3 lets me get insane HTT which is cool for running a memory divider.
How bout a NFM v1.36b modded bios rev 4 with updated nvraid rom and 1t/2t options? that would make a perfect bios 1.36b.
he already has the updated nvraid and 1/2T has always been in the bios.... not sure why your asking for this if you go back a few posts he already has one made .. he gave us a link.
That one is 1T fixed for the San Diego. We need a 1T/2T bios so i can run my 4X512MB rams for 2 GB total.Quote:

EDIT: 136 Rev.4 is up, from now on I don't support and mod ANY v1.9 series BIOSes, period. Too many problems. I look forward to mod v2.0 BIOS series if they will be good.
yes NFM.. i do agree not wasting any more time on the 1.9 for the time being...
did anyone see a thread about this guy overclocking a 3800+ x2... it really does look promising.. ... if the new BIOS really supports X2... i might give it a shot for X2
Yea, his X2 kicks ass, upcoming bios should fully support all cpus, at least that's what i hope
I've been away for awhile and haven't been up to date on the bioses lately :o so I'm wondering what would be the best option for me to test out with my FX53
i got my 3700+ SD... came out to be CABGE 0526APAW.. not that a good OCer though. max out at 2.75Mhz same as my venice.... but it does have a better mem controller..... im trying all means now to push it to 2.8ghz with 1.6v...
anyone knows if the 1.36 1T bios works better for SD ?
Uniacid get the 1.8 rev 3 modded bios
harpy - stay with the 1.8 with the 1T fix for San diego's unless Sideeffect says his san diego runs good on the 1.36
my LBBLE 0515 APAW 3200+ Venice wont hit 2.8ghz unless i run 1.7v and even then its touchy
i'd have to say if you can see the stepping on your cpu before you buy it dont get the APAW but you will also want to get out the venice stepping thread before you make a choice.

i will try burning in the SD.. see if this myth really works a little
