A64 Venice 3000+ 50% OC ;))

[jancz3rt]

Heya guys,

I finally managed to get 2.7Ghz on my A64 3000+. The default clock was 1.8 Ghz and I managed to get it stable to 2.7Ghz (900Mhz OC). That constitutes a 50% OC and 100% percent sattisfaction from my side. The only downside, 1.6V on the Vcore..and an idle temp of 31 Celsius which is approximately 2 Celsius more than on 2.6Ghz. The load temps were 45 Celsius after some 30mins + of SuperPI 24M calculations. The RAM is clocked at 225Mhz and at the default 2.5-3-3-7 for 216Mhz. I got a SuperPI score of 33 seconds compared to 36 on 2.6Ghz. Here are the screens:

Nice! I wouldnt run 24/7 like that though.

Its annoying how my processor which was almost twice as expensive clocks worse...

Yeah, but he is runniing at 1.616v!!

I agree with 34erd, dont run it constantly like that.

Hihi

1.616 is not actually true...it's more like 1.65V That's the max "safe" ceiling. The temps are great though so I am not overly worried for now.

wow, what an overclock those are like FX 57 speeds. way to go.

what kind of hsf are u using?

 

[jancz3rt]

Heya

what kind of hsf are u using?

Guess.....STOCK! The stock cooling has been serving me well since the start. On 1.8Ghz, the temp was 28 Celsius. On 2.6Ghz, 29-30 Celsius and right now I have it on 31 Celsius. All temps idle of course. I have never gone beyond 46 load on either frequency. Bear in mind that it's a Venice

sweeeet. hope my new 3200+ venice does me that well.

 

[jancz3rt]

Yup

You will have the advantage of having a 10X multi. I have a 9X multi and really have to push the core to 300Mhz to get 2.7Ghz, while you will not need to go that high.

JAN

yeah, i guess i would only have to go to 270.

dont know if i will go that high though, my case is pretty cool.

Nice. . .

Wow, my CPU doesn't cool very well.... I have my 3200 up to 2.6Ghz but load temp is around 54C and idle is around 38C and I have an SI-120 (taller verison of XP-120). Maybe I should get some Arctic Silver....
What is your case temps? Do you use the stock thermal pad too?

Hey. I use the thermal pad that was already on the stock HSF. My case temp is 26 Celsius. I have two intake and three out-take fans. I think you could have a contact problem between the CPU and the HSF due to the weight of the SI-120.

- The Venice should run cooler than that for sure however, even at 2.6Ghz.

maybe I put too much thermal paste on it... I'll look into it. My case temp is usually around 28C so I know it should be pretty cool, much cooler than this now.
