hougtimo Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi,I would just like an opinion on how good my OC is. The processor is an athlon 64 3200+ (venice s939) that runs at a stock 2.0GHz. Here is it running at 2.6GHz, and appears to beat some FX processors according to Sandra:Thanks for your viewsHougTimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Nice, what kind of cooling are you using for this oc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's just on air - the upgraded hsf cost me about £9 (from akasa) and I'm using Arctic Silver 5 paste and two 80mm case fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=89833someone else with a 3000 venice and the same stepping got the same overclock u didnow try upping the voltage and see what happens. ur at a great voltage right now if ur prime stable. if u use 1.5v im sure u can get 2800, maybe even 2900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 The voltage is actually lying...in the bios it is 1.625v, so im not sure how much higher i can go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 omg thats high! lol, way too high. most ppl dont recommend over 1.55v in fear of killing their cpu. what mobo u have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) omg thats high! lol, way too high. most ppl dont recommend over 1.55v in fear of killing their cpu. what mobo u have?My mobo is an Asus A8V Deluxe board, and I can't seem to OC without doing drastic things to the voltage, also there is no agp lock either, so anything above 2.6GHz shows artifacts Edited July 30, 2006 by hougtimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 hmm, well that sucks. how long have u been running this overclock? im just telling u that its very dangerous to have this voltage. and how did u test if its stable, prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Most of the time the OC is hold back by the RAM you use. Can you give us some more specs of your PC and FSB/HT and speed settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems and the temps never exceeded 45'c. Is it still bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Usually when the voltage is that high, and you didn't set it that high, it's more likely than not that your BIOS is reporting it incorrectly. I know that my BIOS reports the voltage at 2.6V, but my amazing air-cooling still manages to keep the temperatures to 30C somehow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJARRRPCGP Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The motherboard appears to be undervolting majorly. You probably can increase the Vcore some more and OC some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
