3500+ Venice Stable @ 2.53

[RomantiK]

Pretty new to DFI's overclocking methods, and after much reading and referencing I've finally managed to get my cpu overclocked comfortably with shockingly low timings and lower than usual voltages Ran MemTest with no errors for 1 hour, gonna run it overnight again tonight. CPU temps idling fine at 21 degrees and on load 34.

 

I'm hoping it can go further with more voltage, however I'll need to get some active cooling on the ram first.

 

Can anyone see any improvements/tweaks I can make to my current settings?

Thanks in advance, this forum is the shiz'nit :nod:

Set a divider (9:10) and keep your RAM at 230 by raising your FSB to 253. That will give you (if your CPU can handle it) 2.783GHz Just up your Vcore and see.

That CPU should be able to handle at least 2.6 with stock HSF. 2.783 is very likely indeed.

Dont let memtest run overnight, let prime / occt do it instead. You can run memtest stable for 1518951+51 hours and still be unstable in windows.
