Redbeaver Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 i have an E3 venice,and just like hawkeye there, got the same hit, 2.8Ghz at 311x9 on TT BigTyphoon, and 1.65V... did u try higher voltage? becoz my E3 seems to luv high volts... running 6months here no prob. If i use 1.55 or lower, its not gonna touch 2.4 even.... once i hit 1.6, it flies! and infinity board too like yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacehead Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Surprisingly now it passes SuperPI32M with setting above I stopped using overclocking software like SysTool & Clockgen and used bios settings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverineI Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 dude????? you were using software OC tools??? no way dude. theres no wonder you werent gettin good clocks man. havent found one yet that works without crashing on my nf4 or asrock.worked alright on nf2 ultra b,but didnt really need it.

Spacehead Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 here is what I have got stable yet: 2418Mhz I have problems still. It seems not to like other LDT multipliers , or CPU multis, or voltages above 1.375V , it doesn't boot to WinXP, it usually stops to Nvidia IDE ROM , detecting arrays (I don't have raid enabled) It posts 2,9 Ghz @ 1.55V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL Paul People have got their Venices easily to 2,7 Ghz with this MB. And my rails are super stable, under stress, they all are exactly what they should be, +12V hovers around 11.99-12.00 +5.00 , 5.00 +3.3V, 3.33V check out the reviews of this Antec NEO 430 HE I am now testing ram, memtesting @ 229 Mhz 2.5V 3-4-3-3-2T, already 200% coverage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair get the best memory reviews in the world but more overclockers use OCZ or Muskin or Gskill than use Corsair in there rigs.

Spacehead Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 dude you are missing my point. read it again. I understand what you mean, but did you think that I have done everything possible to squeeze max out of my cpu and my mem. I doubt I have. Overclocking takes patience. It took almost 2 months to get max out of my locked 2500+ (2600Mhz @ 1.7) in the golden socket-a era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacehead Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Hmm... Now I got LDT 3x working, so HTT Freq is within the limit. What's weird, is that CPU becomes unstable if I set higher voltages than 1.375. Default voltage is btw. 1.4V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
