3000+ Venice @ 2.406, cant get any further.

[Knapman]

Ok.

3000+ Venice 267x9
1.45v
42c load.
3x ht
stock air.

and 512 mb Vdata ram (generic stuff.)

Im not much into ram timings and stuff yet. But when I up my FSB any further, I cant boot even the bios. Is my ram holding me back? And is there anything I can do without getting new ram?

[pik-ard v1.1]

is the ram at a 1:1 divider? if so, set it at a lower divider and that should help you out.

As I said, kinda a noob to ram deviders and stuff, what should I set it to? Also Its getting late here, so Ill try tomorrow.

[Absolute_0]

set a 166 ram divider and try again

[Knapman]

Umm, what about ratios? :S

[bullet2urbrain]

5:4

[Knapman]

Will try later tonight when Im home from school! Thanks to everyone wo helped!

[fullup3]

yea, and set the ram timings to 2.5 4 4 8, or 3 4 4 8.
this along with a divider should help. Also, you should be fine with 1.5 to 1.55v on your vcore. that will help you get higher too. Just try to keep temps somewhere around 50C or below at load.

[Knapman]

Thanks to everyone that helped. Im currently at 2.7ghz. Ram 166mhz, 1.55 vcore. Stock air, load temps of 43c. Im gonna run prime95 while I sleep, but its runnnig fie for the last 30 mins with Folding @ Home running, so hopefully itll pass! Tomorrow Ill push for 2.8ghz, but I doubt it. :P

[i found nemo]

never doubt. i doubted my claw would make 2.6ghz but with a little tweaking on volts and ram. damnit i made it work [/encouragement speech]

Heh, looks like you got a better one than I did, my Venice sucks.. (see sig)

Nice overclock man! Nice motherboard too, I got a Neo4 Platinum.

Congrat's on 2.7GHz, I need 1.6v to get to that and I have a 3200+ haha.

Is the information in your sig correct?
Engineering sample or what??

Take note of his motherboard. Think about it for a second, it'll come to you.

[NickS]

er, 3000+ default multi is 10

3000+ s939 has a default mutli of 9x

3200+ s939 has a 10x multi

Interesting that AMD would bump the multi to 10 for socket 754.

Well, just as an update, I was gonna go with 2.7, but my psu cant keep a steady 1.55vcore. ROFL. Wish I had the money to upgrade, but I dont really. Next system I build, Ill definatly be getting decent quality PSU. Anyways Im at a steady 2.6ghz, stock air, crappy ram. Its all good. :P
