flashystylez Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Hey all, after reading a few reviews on these, I see that people are getting 2.7-2.8 AVERAGE on these venice chips?? Is this normal?? My 4000+ is just hitting 2.86 overclocked. Should I have not spent almost 500 on that and 190 on the venice?? The only thing mine has over it, 1mb cache.. Anyone have experience with them? Can they really hit 2.8 on good air?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 every chip is different, but a good portion of those venice 3200+'s have been able to OC well. But a good OC is never a guarantee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagash Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Pretty much what Marty said. Lower end chips tend to OC a little bit more usually (percentage wise). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 so far my 3000+ seems to be toping out at 2.26ghz but i think it can go farther because it still boots windows and ran perfictaly for a day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireonice Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 it could also just be how your ocing it. Eather way every chip is differnt and there are many things to look at just not price, how many have been ocing, ect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
battery Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 3200+ venices can most definitely hit 2.8ghz... hell i hit 2.8 ghz on my 3000+ winchester...with stock cooling... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Yup, plenty have hit 2.8+. I wouldn't bank on it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
