The Official Venice Overclocking Thread

[conrad.maranan]

In an effort to maintain the orderliness of the AMD section, I am requesting that all Venice overclocking results be placed in this official thread. Please refrain from starting a new thread to highlight your overclocking results. If you feel that your overclocking efforts are beyond average and worthy of an individualized thread, please consider doing so in the Xtreme Overclocking section.

We do not need 1,000 new threads on the same topic. Look at what my Venice can do!...Venice 3200+ OC Fun...My Venice hits 2900MHz on air...Mr. Forum Member's Mega Venice OC Thread...The Venice/H2O OC action thread... You get the picture.

If you wish to start a thread with regard to the Venice core which also includes some other issues, dilemmas, questions, and/or concerns that have not been mentioned elsewhere, please feel free to do so.

Your cooperation with regard to this matter allows for a much more organized and systematic way to share information. Yes, this is a group effort.

I will open this thread as soon as a forum member sends me (or any of the AMD section moderators) a PM stating that he/she is ready to share some results.



RULES FOR POSTING IN THIS THREAD
This thread is strictly for overclocking results with a Venice core processor. Overclocking results must include at least one screenshot along with specific details regarding your accomplishment. This includes, but is not limited to, the following data:

- Stepping and/or CPU Assembly Date
- VCORE
- Method of Cooling
- Temperatures (Software-based or Meter-derived)
- Specifications of System
- Stability Tests (SuperPi, Prime95, 3DMark, etc.)

INQUIRIES:
Data Requests - If you have any requests for additional tests or details to be included in a post, please send a PM to the author of the post to include the information you are seeking. Be sure to include the "post #" or a direct link to the post you wish to see edited.
Data Fulfillment - If you (author of a post) receive a PM from a forum member requesting for additional information regarding your test data, kindly consider editing your post to include the requested information.

Here are some of my results with a 3500 venice on a DFI ultra D with an xp90.

Here are some of my results with a 3500 venice on a DFI ultra D with an xp90.

Please give more details including your memory timings,etc. Did your rig test Prime Stable and for how long did you stress test it?
Thanks

3246mhz , air cooled, 1.65v. If anyone wants to go phase change test it they're welcome to.

WOW you got a great CPU mine wont do 2.8 with that voltage

Was just playing around with my wife's rig.

I've had some fun with my Venice aswell. Sorry but the CPU-Z images are not verified. But my results aren't that amazing, so I guess they are belivable

Equipment:

DFI LanParty NF4Ultra
A64 3200+ Venice "Stepping: CBBLE 0504EPAW"
2x512MB OCZ VX @ 3.4v
X850XTPe @ Stock
WD 74GB Raptor
CPU cooled by a XP120 with 18db fan

Here's a Picure of SiSoft @ Stock



Here's another one of SiSoft @ 2.7GHz



And @ 2.8GHz ( This is the max I can get i stable )



Unstable but could run SiSoft



Here's a max ScreenShot I could get ( Yeah I know, It's not verified )



Over to some 3DMark action ( @ 2.8GHz, RAM @ 255 CL.2 -2 -2 -6, X850XTPe @ Stock

3DMark2001:



3DMark03:



3DMark05:



And Finally a SuperPI 1M ( @ 2.85GHz )



That's all from me, but here's a little picture of how I run it 24/7. Since 2.8GHz is the max, I feel 10x280 is kind of boring. There for I run it like this

Load temps jump up to +5-8 C when heavy loaded - must check evaporator contact with CPU More result are coming soon

Stability Test :

Super PI 1.1 :

[Gorod]

nice results, any prime95 done to these bad boys to test real stability?

No , no prime yet . I got some better results to show , not final yet :

26s Super PI on Venice 3000+ done ! (262MHz @ 2.0-2-2-8-1T)

[Gorod]

I have a Neo2 plat. with an EVGA 6800GT (AGP) as well. If my chip shows up Friday, I will post up some results ASAP.

Thanks man I am also having some weard temps. , looks funny , but its actualy bad , cause i cant tell what the real temps are . I will post a pic :

[Gorod]

Gorod:

have u tried priming at those speeds?
maybe its not prime stable

or the chip has reached its limit??

that is why it can't run 3dmark?

I think i found the problem ... Not sure yet but it looks like the new mem. controller doesn't like this (had using this setting with Winchester with no problems ) That's real bad for me , cause if i set it to 133 then it's too low , if 166 - it's too high for my Mem ... :



JonEapples : I had temps showing right with 1.6 official


Just benched 3DMark2001SE , looks not bad at all for 6800GT ...

3DMark2001SE - 32185

[Sucka]

so far so good...

I'm hating this 11 multi, i need 12 or better for my setup Plus it probably wouldn't hurt to try to tweak my memory a bit.

[Cranox]

Ada3800daa4bp
Cbble0507dpaw
1227492c50768

12 x 242 @ 1.360v



Max That i got now ( ram is async , later i do it synced )
12 x 267 @ 1.71v
Even with voltage crancked @ 1.8v will not go higher , temps get then +1 stressed ( its a mach II St , so i got no clue what evap temp is only temp from smartguardian )

[Sucka]

Got mine up and rolling. Only tested it on default volts so far. I will update as we go. Here are some default volts.





I have some results over here started.

[Sucka]

alot of preresults without prime give us some prime to show real stability.

That would take 12 hours, who wants to waste all that time :p

[mikead_99]

Can anyone show any Prime95 screenies here? Are you guys getting 3GHz, priming on phase change?

Yup. Seems they all act pretty similar. 300x10 w/1.55V set in bios:


The next step I tried was 285x11 (3.135 GHz), couldn't get it to Prime with up to 1.81V set in bios. I'll try the middle ground some tonight. Seems like 3GHz on phase is a gimme with these, and they are probably benchable to much higher. SuperPi'ed (1M) OK at 285x11 with 1.65V.

Air results it is!!!

Need to remove HSF to make sure its getting good contact and the AS5 is spread even but I am getting ONLY 2.6ghz from my 0515 3500+ Venice. Thats with stock voltage though. Bumped voltage to 1.55 (10%) and it seems good at 2705, primed an hour with no errors so I'll do more overnight tonight.

P.S. Heatsink is a SilentBoost K8 so its no rocket cooler, hehe. Wish I had a water setup and I am sure I could be running 2.8+ with this one. Temps with Core Center where like 125-135F under prime so I gotta check the HSF contact.

[Sucka]

Finnaly a bench it beat my FX at. This was at 3260MHz/1:1

[H2OGun]

Here is my first test of LBBLE 0515GPBW 3200+ running SPi 32M at 2.7GHz with default voltage. Will do more 3D testing later on.
