3500+ Venice

If I run this at 2400MHz that would be equivalent to a 3800+ yes?

Would this be fairly safe under stock voltage etc. ?

I'll probably be adding an 80mm case fan in my side panel to give it a better cold air supply soon as well...

If I run this at 2400MHz that would be equivalent to a 3800+ yes? if a 3800+ runs at 2400mhz then yes......but it also depends on:

a) the L1 cache of a 3800+
b) whether you can make ** chip stable when u overclock it

Would this be fairly safe under stock voltage etc. ?

If understock volts then yes it would be fine, I dont see why not..if you need to increase volts just dont go too mad....

Just watch the temps and you will be fine. Ideally you want that running 50c or below under max load.

... Would 60c at full load (stock speed) be a bad thing then?

well the 3500 are renowned for running hot under load....

especially the winnies and the newcastles...

Yeah extremely, at stock.. Get a decent cooler on it?

divine` · 15 Oct 2006 at 16:52

pfffft... i'm not spending money on it.

I'll be getting the extra 80mm anyway, we'll see what that does to the temperatures.

Yeah suppose stick it nice and close, also try reseating the heatsink if temps continue.

Um how many and what size fans have you got in there atm?

Got the stock HSF on the CPU, a 120mm Akasa extracting air at the back and a 120mm CoolerMaster Injecting air at the front plus whatever it is lurking in my Tagan 480W.
