suedenim Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Hi, I have my 3200 Venice up to 2280 on the stock cooler, anymore and OCCT bombs out. I have come across other sites (generally non-english) where people have similar coded chips at 2400 plus. Have I reached my particular CPU's limit? Any advice would be grand. More info from MBM5: CPU = 2283Mhx (Temps 25 idle/ 42 Load) VCore = 1.44V (+/- 0.03V) LDT = 1.65V Dram = 2.77V Chipse = 1.5V +3.3 Rail = 3.25 +5 Rail = 5.02 +12 Rail = 12.21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 What are the specs on that "5yr Old PSU" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Its of Intel manufacture. I will have to strip my case back big time to find out for sure but one of the lables reads 260W max on the 3.3 and 5v rails. I guess you are angling towards a lack of juice or variable output. I myself feel this could be the cause but I want to rule out self idiocy by bouncing the problem off of you guys (and gals ;-p). Thanks for responding.

Teflon Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Increase the vcore. 1.5v should be ok with stock cooler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I will give this a whirl and let you know. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albumleaf Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I've been running 1.7v into my 3000+ Venice for months, I'd up it some more. Also, make sure that your HTT multi is 3x. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Well I tried 1.5v and still didn't get past 228. I think my memory timings may be a tad tight. Using 1T at 166 everything at auto and I get these 2-2-2-5 (although the mem is rated at 2-3-2-5). I've got the HTT at 4x as its supposed to be as close to 2000 surely (HTT x FSB x 2) which means I could get to 250 on 4X with no worries. I'll try more voltage as at 1.5v my load temps peaked at 46C and I believe the Venice can go to 60C (obviously not recommended as a constant temp though ;-p). I'll get back to you soon...

Voltes-5 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Did you follow the OC'ing guide? Test your cpu seperately from your memory, take it out of the equation and go from there. It's fairly easy, much more easier to find the limit of the cpu that way at a max vcore you are willing to run it with and at a temperature you are able to control. Now with the memory, there are so many tweaks that it is time consuming, thats where the OCDB comes in to play. Find a particular entry where your particular memory is being used and try those settings. If you are lucky enough and find an entry with an idetical system like yours, even better. Good luck!

suedenim Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I was working through the guide. It recommends leaving memory on auto but I kept getting those pretty tight timings. I'll look for similar memory. If someone reads this and they have G.Skill 3200 please add a post. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Ramped the voltage up to 1.55V seems stable at 230 (set memory to 2T 2-2-2-5) in Prime95 but not OCCT. I'll continue with the jiggery pokery and get back to you all. Thanks... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinker0 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 have you ran memtest? Didnt see that mentioned. And this board realy likes a good powersupply. At minimun 430 watts if it a real quality Powersupply but perferably 500w. Might try to loosen memory timmings up a little 2.5-2-5-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
