Ummm, so you're saying that @ 1.792Vcore, you're able to run your venice @ 2 more FSb than @ 1.72? If it was me, I don't think it would be worth risking a cpu for that 18 mhz. (And also, that 2 extra fsb could have been due to other factors besides your additional vcore.) Yes, an OC has something to do with temps in relation to Vcore, but even @ low temps, too much Vcore can still kill a cpu. Please don't say that you've seen "many" venices @ 1.8 cuz there are some people that will try that just because they read that. BTW, this was the max stable vcore I with my cpu:
