flashystylez Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I am peicing together my new rig, and I have decided to get the DFI Lanparty SLI NF4 Board. I read a multitude of reviews, and this is the overclockers choice. I am looking into getting the Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Core CPU. I read a reviewhere, stating that it hits 2.8 ghz. Is this true? I couldnt find any other reviews on it as of yet. I was wondering would it really hit this in the real world? or is it a ploy? Would that mobo be the best to make it reach the 2.8 ghz? Also, what kind of ram do you all think I should get for this rig, as I have heard about TCCD ram? One last thing would be the PSU, I am looking at getting an OCZ 500 watt. You think that would be the best for the OC? I dont want to get the wrong components here. I only want to buy parts for this new rig onece, and I trust you all for all your help and knowledge? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECwakeboarder Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I don't see why they wouldn't, from my knowledge, they are using something similar to the strained silicon process on the FX-55's and the likes which greatly improves maximum clock speeds. That OCZ PSU should be good, but I think people said that the 600w one was much worth the extra cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclockersdream Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 yeah i hit 2.5 right out of the box, w/o voltage increase Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 yeh, the venice's are hitting really high, but remember the ones that AMD sends the reveiwers are liket he cream of the crop, so dont expect as good of results, but you could easyly get near it!

Byron Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 my buddy got his @ 2.8 and it was stable enough to run a sandra, every day use, no. . This was on water running tccd @ 10x280. So yes, 2.8 is possible with the right cooling imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Looks as though most of the venice 3000's and 3200's are sticking pretty close to 2700 stable regardless of vcore or memory. Seems as though AMD is doing some better speed binning of chips now. Too bad for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP24 Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 My SD is at 2.8ghz with 1.52v on water. Another 100mhz and I'll be set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
