[ReeceKB]

Hi everyone

Just wondered what the most you can ovreclock an
Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8ghz venice skt939 to.

I have mine at 2.58ghz with

Asus A8N-E
Arctic freezer 64 pro
1gb Crucial Balistix PC3200
Thermaltake silent power 430watt

If anyone hase gone any higher with one of these please let me know.

Thanks Everone

There aint a set amount mate, its just generally luck

mine is perfectly stable at 2.6 and will do over 2.8 with 1.7v, cant actually do anything at that speed though!

Whats your stepping?

Mine does 2.6 24/7, is happy at 2,7 and i've had it as high as 3.3, if that helps..


I run this:

FSB: 289
HTx: 4x
RAM: DDR333, 2.5,3,2,6 1T
Vcore: 1.5v
VRAM: 3.0v
Vchipset:1.6
VHTT bus: +4%


This gives me:

2.6GHz CPU
235.6Mhz RAM at 2.5,3,2,6 1T
1156Mhz HTT

If your RAM and MoBo will handle that then you're laughing.

Whats the stepping on your 3000+?

if you give me the numbers written across the core I can tell you the production week (anything 12-19 is good, with 17 being Uber)

3.3GHZ on phase?

 

[ReeceKB]

It's an E3 steping.

I'm faifly new to overclocking and when i get to 2.9 it doesnt complete the benchmark.

How do you guys get it so high?

whats you mobo and what ram do you have.
well i guss 2.58ghz is not bad seeing as i'm only 13

I'd say 2.8GHz on air, absolutely stable see sig.

Might try for 2.9GHz later but i dont want to push it too far on air

What Mobo do you have

soz for the slow reply, tiding my case

as i said its in my sig, Epox EP-9NPA + Ultra, you can get it for roughly £65 and its a beast of a motherboard. Done me well even with my OCZ value ram.

Thanks for that if i get some money might upgrade

3.3GHZ on phase?

I had one at 3.4ghz on phase. low volts too. wish i'd put 1.8v through it now.

Sory for silly question but what does on phase mean

Phase cooling is a form of extreme cooling, gets your CPU down to below freezing if I remember right!

how is that done.

BELOW FREEZING

Around -50 mine was.

Its basically a fridge with a pipe coming out you strap onto the cpu.
