The Venice OC DISCUSSION Thread

[smakme]

I just got an 3200+ 0518 EPAW.... getting to OCing it tonight....

currently sitting at an easy 2430MHz at stock volts while I wait to OC it...

On water... load temps reporting 31°C

If I may ask, where did you order this from? Thanks.

[dnottis]

i think maybe you are very close to your cpu's limit...most of the 3000+ are topping out at 2.8..except for a few lucky ones

most are lucky to break ~2.75 to be honest and thats with alot of vcore (1.65+).

[dpoverlord]

Has anyone gotten the Week 18 chips?
I just got a:
LBBLE 0518DPAW chip was wondering how it stacks with other chips from that run. Waiting on new Power supply to come in :-P

[Dani]

I tested my 3200+ 0517BPEW with LOW Vcore, did'nt expect this

[babyelf]

these just came in

The last one should be a good one I think.

quick tests of my 3000+ 0517DPMW with my vapochill and spi 1M at 3269MHz
around 25.5-25.6 unpatched

bad contact, I think to improve this frequency

and with my new dod it will be 100MHz+

I think spi 1M at 3385MHz and maybe a screenie at 3600MHz ---> 100%

3.3GHz stable would be great


with an amd box it is prime stable at 2800MHz 1.48-1.49v ---> 53°C

wow, hope as lucky as you with my lbble 0519bpew. Still waiting on my video card though

Some people said me that Venices running DAILY at a high frequency (2.7~2.8~2.9GHz+) can die, even when it's at default VCore. Is that true? I've got a $*(&(*)$)@&()$^)@$ Venice that needs 1.5v to 2.4GHz and so I want to sell it and buy another one good overclocker, and my goal would use 2.7~2.8GHz daily. Is this safe?
Thanks

yeah it's safe, the only things that will kill the CPU are high voltage and high temps. And CPU core crushed :P

What would be a high temp? 60ºC+? 70ºC+?

thx

thx

over 60C is high temp. 60s is bad... but i think it's safe. Over 70 is not safe, and i think 80s is the death zone... i don't have any experience with temps like that though

[2||Para]

What would you consider safe voltage for a aircooled 3800 Venice? I've not yet been above 1.475v and was stable at 2.65ghz.Will 1.5v/1.525v give me a better chance of hitting 2.7v stable?

Cooler is a Arctic Freezer64.

For 24/7 on good aircooling i would not go above 1.65. Personally, i like to be safe with 24/7 speeds so i probably wouldn't like to go over 1.625. Don't be afraid to try out 1.5/1.525, that certainly won't hurt. The most you should ever use is 1.7 and that's for the famous "suicide screens" not for extended use.

[2||Para]

Nice 1 i'll try giving it a tweak with clockgen and let you know what happens.

[2||Para]

Ok it has hit its highest overclock but not yet tested it for stability.Although i could never get to this speed before.

[Absolute_0]

Yes, you'll want to do a lot of testing there. I can hit 2.8 with stock volts but i am unable to stabilize 2.8 even with 1.575 volts.

[2||Para]

Its nice to know the chip can hit 2.8 stable tested or not. Tomorrow i get my new psu and next on the list is a waterchill kit.

I'll try OCCT on it a bit later and see if i can beat previous clock.Thanks for taking the time help.

Hi having problems getting my 3200Venice 0517 stable

Bios 1.8

Using the 'Athlon64 Overclocking Optimizer' I have managed to get

CPU 2700MHz 1.5v prime stable 12hours (may get a bit more!)
Mem 270Htt 1T 2.5 4 3 7 2.9V memtest86 12hrs+
HT 1100
HTT 285

so stick it all together

CPU 2700 HT4 mem 1:1 and fails prime in less than a minute relaxed the mem timings upped the volts to 1.6Vcpu HTx2 same

the only thing i can get resonable stable is

CPU2500MHz
mem1:1 250Htt
HT4 0r 3

prime 4hrs and errors with Vcore 1.45 but drop the Vcore back down to STD volts and prime has been running about 10hrs- lower volts seem more stable but fails prime just as quick at higher speeds 2600MHz+

this mobo was stable with my 3500winnie at 2500 1:1 speeds

I do know there is a new bios due at the end off the month which should help but r others having the same problems overclocking with Venice cores

even had a multimeter on my PSU rails and all r witnin 5% at boot, startup load etc

Havnt tried the 'A64Tweaker' yet

[dnottis]

new chip.
3500+ 0515FPAW

For some I can't pass Super Pi 32M at 280x10. It BSOD/froze in Windows after the 24th loop! In BIOS:
2.9v, 2.5-4-6-3-7-15-3-2-1-2-2560-1-E-A-0-7-2-8-5-256-D-16-7-D

Still tweaking so I can get 280x10

I dont think Venice like Prime. Mine will randomly die @ 2hr, 6 hr or 8 hr in. Other times it dies @ 15 mins. But gaming, OCCT, Super PI are all fine.

[HousERaT]

Man, what do I have to do to get me a Venice like some of the ones I'm seeing? Mine couldn't do close to 2.8Ghz with 1.7v. Guess you have to live near a dealer that will let you hand pick a chip?

[Absolute_0]

@ houserat,
handpicking helps, but most of us either got lucky or had to go through a few chips.
I dont know if i'm lucky or not, 0515APAW is supposed to be a good stepping but i can't get past 2.75 stable to save my life so it's kind of annoying.

I'm thinking of going to handpick a few CPUs soon... is it true that all you can find these days are POS week 18s and 19s??

[dng29]

i just got my 3200 venice today. it's a box cpu and the code is LBBLE 0516DPHW. the max i can oc it to is 275x10. i was hoping for 2800 or 2900, but it reboots whenever i tried 280x10. i'm running on a dfi sli-d with an xp-120. i'm going to try burning in the cpu and see if i can push it a little more. i saw a few threads on this code with similar disappointing results. i wonder how those people, who are ocing to 2.8+ at default or slightly higher vcore, get their gems.

[Absolute_0]

make sure HTT is set to 3 and use a divider on your memory, also try the 9x multiplier and pump the HTT up with a divider on.

also what voltage are you using??
