Have I got this right? Venice OC...

gunner · 28 Mar 2006 at 12:36

I have managed to get my Venice 3000 CPU at 2.65 totally stable on all tests (prime for 12 hrs etc).

However to do this I had to use a 133 RAM divider. so my memory underclocks slightly. I am using 1T and CAL latency 2 G.Skill 3200 (2GB) ram.

If i use a 166 divider I can't even post. If i loosen all my timings etc would it make much of a difference or should I leave well alone?

Cheers, Gunner.

Think I would be happy with that and leave it well alone.
Well done

wow i can only manage to get my 3000 to 2.5 thats great

i agree, i'd be happy with 2.65ghz and leave the ram as is!

yeah sounds like a good oc and would have it as is, ram timings are generally giving better results than higher clocks anyway so will be fine.

thanks for the replies, will leave it alone now... for a bit.

With 2GB of RAM that's a pretty nice OC. I'm on 2.7GHz but with my GSkill LE 1GB set and I'm quite happy with 900MHz OC, may squeeze for 1GHz when I can be bothered. If you can get a little more, why not, but I think you should be very happy.

Thats amazing memory, cas 2.5 at 300mhz!

whats the voltage for 2.65?

And whats the stepping of the chip?

Thats not a problem for the Gskill LEs, they were the best TCCD around for a good while.

It runs at 2.7GHz on 1.5v in BIOS solid. Stepping LBBLE 0517 BPBW, quite sad how I actually know that from memory and have owned two Opterons meanwhile.

Yeah as Dave has said, it's quite normal for LE. Paid £200 back in the day for these, they really are fantastic.

Hi the voltage for 2.65 is 1.52V
RAM voltage CAS2 2.75V
DH-E3 venice, not sure of the actual stepping! OEM cpu.
great cheap chip!
