Max settings for a Venice?

BigDom · 7 Feb 2006 at 20:19

Hiya, I'm really starting to push my 3500+ Venice as used in my Project Red Alert and wondered what the top end of things like temps are.

Current settings ( under prime95 test at the moment so don't knwo how stable ) are 237fsb with Voltage of 1.5V. So 2.6Ghz. 1.475V locked up fairly quickly under prime.

hehe I'm up to 1.525/237 and seems stable ( but hitting 50c under prime )

Ram's fine ( can't divider it but it's ZX G.Skill so can run to silly speeds ).

what do you mean? that the dividers don't work with this memory or?

Can't see any option to in the BIOS ( AN8 Fat1lty).

I've slackend off the timings of the RAM to keep it happy ( set it to that that's reccomended for like 400FSB) so I will tighten it after.

PSU is a Tagan 430W. She's running stable so far at 1.525/237 but want to know when I should get worried.

Ok she's been running a while under prime.. seems stable BUT I am a little concerned about the load temperatures...

56degC max...

This is meant to be a project where I'm trying to push her to the limits but is this getting a bit tooo far?

Thanks guys - sounds like your right as as I push past 1.5V and 233FSB things get warm and prime doesn't last long once I hit 55+degC.

Currently running 1.5V/233FSB and topping at 48-50 but now trying to keep memory tight as I'm sure that's the current problem preventing higher FSB. (did a 5 hour no-Ram prime95 test which was fine but a test at same settings WITH ram failed).
