further improvements to oc - venice 3000

[f666]

Hi,

absorbed the stickies and had a bash at ocing my venice 3000 and got the following:

AMD 3000 venice oced to 2530
memory at 2-3-3-6 at 1t
on stock volts
281 x 9
htt at 4
running a 133 divider = 181mhz
rest of pc as sig

got her up to 2620 but was a bit unstable (291x9)

then stepped her back to 281x9 for stability

any tips on squezzing more out ? not too sure about upping the voltage atm, but was thinking about trying to get the memory a bit faster

thanks

got upto 2673mhz
using 1.525 in the bios (although corecentre and cpuz say 1.4v???)
couldn't run a 1meg super pi

ok she seems nice and steady at:2574mhz

ram on 140 divider @ 200mhz 1t 2.3.3.6
286fsb
1.4v in bios

The above seems a nice balance...


just playing my memory:
G.Skill 1GB DDR ZX PC3200

had to slacken the timings to 2.5-3-3-6 to get past 220mhz (at 225mhz atm)

will try and combine the above with any ram improvement so may have to go back to 133 divder


rest of spec is :

MSI K8N Platinum NF4
Athlon64 3000+ Venice (o/c'd 2.5Ghz) 34C ave
Zalman CNPS7000B-ALCU
2 x 512Mb GSkill ZX CAS 2.3.3.6 @ 1T
ATI X800 256 VIVO (o/c'd / Stock)
2-Samsung SP120 SATA2 250gb
LG 16 Dual Layer DVD+/-RW
Antec SmartPower 450w
Antec Sonata

using 2.5-4-4-8 at 245mhz atm

whats the verdict in the ram ? better to run at cas 2 at 215mhz or 245mhz at cas2.5?

put her back to 2601mhz with ram at 216mhz on a 150 divder super pi 1meg at 33seconds fastest I have had all day ! cheers
