AMD 64 3200+ venice 2.4 GHZ OVERCLOCK.

[style69]

Hello.

I was pretty stable at 2.2 GHz ...ran prime 95 for 2 nights...had no errors....then when i tried 10x240=2.4 GHZ....ig ot an error within minutes of unning prime 95....


Now what ive done is raise my voltage from 1.4V to 1.536V (cpuz) and 2.4Ghz is running all good.......have been priming it for like 15 minutes ( i know i gotta do it more but im not getting the FATAL errror which i got within minutes of my last overclock)

SO how long do wait till my next overclcok? HOw much should it be and any other settings i should keep in mind? (CPU voltage, DDR voltage, DDR memory ? current is 266)

What HSF do you have on it? Waiting a few minutes is not even close to a reasonable prime95 run. Do you want be more reasonable? six hours. That's a hefty voltage up, and i hope you're monitoring your temps, and/or have a non-stock fan on it... a 3200+ that needs 1.5+ to run at 2.4 probably isnt the greatest oc candidate unless you're doing something wrong.

Well after reading some review im back at 2.2 Ghz and CPU z tells me i have 1.424V. I( think i am gonna burn in before.....i did burn in for a couple of nights at 2.2Ghz and looked stable.....but ill see it for a ngiht mroe and then may b do a 2.3 Ghz. at the same voltage...see if that works.......


Although im not sure if i should decraease my Dram settings to 266 from my current 333.


Thanks

hi. I overclocked my venice 3200 to 2400 by 240*10 cpu Htt:4x ram:1:1 so it runs at 240 mhz now. ı did not make any voltage changes ı just left them as they were auto for cpu and ram ı mean. Ive been playing games such as most wanted fear doom3 for a week and ı have no problem but ı should mention that ı have a zalman cnps9500 for cooling the cpu. I tried the 250*10 ram:1:1 or other higher cpu frequencies by using ram dividers but it did just not reboot so 2400 is fine ..

cpu idle :34 C load max:41 @2400

 

[style69]

Hey....


So can you check your voltage usuing CPU-Z (google it) and post it back. I know its auto but then i wanna know exactly what it is.

Also HOw did u setup ur RAM as 1:1. I have a A8n-SLI motherboard ...where can i find the ram ration on that?

 

[survivor]

I am at work now but as far as ı remember it is generally about 1,375 -1.412 you know it changes all the time. ı have an epox mainboard. ıf you set your ram settings auto it will be same with your cpu frequency but if you slow down to 166 than your ram divider will be 6/5 and if you set it to 133 mhz then your divider will be 3/2 ok? meanwhile what about your rams? what is their brand?

Simple: go as far as you can, then back off. My Winchester 3000+ was SuperPi stable for a day at 2.4 (9*266), so with the safety net I'm currently running (260*9). There's no sense in going to the bleeding edge and dealing with issues..

Re: taking it to 266-- only if you're using DDR333 sticks. Using 240*10 will actually run DDR400 under spec with the 333 divider, so it's not being stressed at all. You might squeeze tighter timings, actually.

i have a OCZ premier series PC 3200 DDR400. copper plated. 2.5 3 3 7.

SO now ive been priming the cpu at 2.25......225x10 at auto voltage.

If i wanna overclock it to 2.4 GHz......should i wait and prime it more....then mayb go 230x 10 ...prime more ...then 235.....and then 240?

If the system become sunstable anytime...increase my voltage...my RAM is on 266 right now at 2.25.

Tell me im right? :roll:

my friend don't be afraid it doesn't get hurt that easily try increasing the fsb with the ram first ı mean try the fsb of ram same with the cpu if something goes wrong it just doesn't reboot and goes to default settings automotically or just doesn't boot the windows or it freezes while playing a game then you understand you went so far.. ın my opinion you don't need to run prime96 for hours just try some heavy games such as fear for an hour or two it gives you a signal . ı have a cheaper ram (kingston value 3-3-3-8 and it works fine at 240 mhz(ddr 480)same fsb with the cpu. If something goes wrong then you can try lowering the fsb of your rams such as 266 but you should try to set the fsb as high as you can first then stop increasing the ram and focus on the cpu. ı had a 2600 barton stock clock was 1916 but it worked fine for 1.5 year as 2172mhz with a vantec aeroflow and it did not die ı sold it. so don't give up easily

 

[style69]

OHH.......so "ıf you set your ram settings auto it will be same with your cpu frequency"

that means it will be 1:1......see i gotta try that now.

im gonna try 2.4Ghz 240x10....at auto memory ....with auto voltage lets see if that works....(at skool right now )

If im succesfful at 2.4 GHZ......and i have to use a voltage of 1.475 to 1.5 is that ok? Or do i even need that much?

 

[survivor]

ı will just tell you what ı have done: I haven't touched any single voltage settings ı just left them as they were (default bios setting) auto for most of them ı just changed the http multiplier because you know you shouldn't exceed 1000 ı changed it from auto to 4x (4*240:960) and it works all fine now ı m on the net for an hour and my vcore changes from 1.360 to 375 but after playing some games it raises 1.410 maximum my vdimm is 2.756 chipset 1.616 agp 1.536

cpu temp: 33 system temp: 29

but ı should mention that it is snowy outside...

 

[style69]

K now i pushed it to 2.28 GHz 228x10. auto cpu V.....auto memory Mhz.

Running prime 95 to see if its stable or not.....ill be updating on this overclock.

I SET THE MEMORY TO AUTO >>......that alright? considering that at auto the fsb/ram ratio should be 1:1?


THanks and wish me luck

I Finally OCed My System Even Higher (Look Below At My Specs) How Much Higher Do You Guys Bet I Can Go? 8)

 

[illicitsc]

im very unorthodox with my ocing. i crank it up to the max bootable freq. then i prime for an hour. if thats good, i run 3dmark 05 and 06, ususally if they pass im satisfied. if not i add voltages, if that fails i lower the freq.

and why is your mem so low clocked? use 333. if ur not exceeding 250htt. and also, your 3200 should hit 2.8-3ghz on air

 

[hella-d]

?... My RAM Is Running At 500MHz Speeds, What Does That Hafta Do With 333?

 

[survivor]

ıf you set it auto, yes it will be same with the fsb of your cpu. the logic of dividers are so simple let me explain a little bit. when you set it to 166 mhz(ddr 333) it means that 166 = :6/5 ratio if you set it 133 mhz (ddr266) then the ratio is 133 = 3:2 examples:
cpu fsb=240*10:2400
ram ddr auto:=240

cpu fsb=240*10:2400
ram:ddr 333=240*5/6=200

cpu fsb= 300*9=2700
ram :ddr 266=300*2/3=200

got it? it is all in your hands try it to the limits.
and don't forget not to go higher than 1000 (htt)

 

[hella-d]

Yeah, I Already Understand All That, But Its Noted, Appreciated

 

[style69]

SO i was increasing the fsb in 10Mhz increments from 2.25Ghz (super pi 32M passed) to 2.27(super pi 32Mpassed) ....then..2.29, 2.32, 2.34, and then 2.36 (at 2.36 GHZ although it passed the 32M i thought it was good place to stop for th ngiht and i let it on prime 95 but after 5 hours and 40 minutes of priming there was THAT hardware error) My voltage was at 1.424V (auto).....whast the problem here?

 

[hella-d]

Try Uppung The Voltage About 1/2 Volts Or So...

 

[style69]

0.5 VOLTS>>..


that makes it from 1.424 to 1.9V


O well i increased it from 1.424 to 1.472 ...is that alrite?

 

[hella-d]

Yeah Thats Good (But You May Hafta Go Higher, Nah Man .5 Volts Is Half A Volt

 

[style69]

K now i got someone to do the overclock for me...


Basically what he did was.

change some thing to 1T from 2T in the memory settings...left ddr at 333....also increased the ddr V to 2.8 ....FSB to 240 (240x10). The cpu volateg is at 1.472V.

considering i did enough priming (about 2 nights at 2.25 Ghz) at prime 95 without any errors.......thsi overclock is working fine....

Have had no halts in games opr anything. Might keep it at 2.4 for a while.

When I Get My Tax Check Im Upgrading To A Dual-Core Opteron 170 And A This Liquid Cooling Kit Converted To Run On A CPU Instead Of A GPU, Im Gonna Replace The Water Coolant With Mineral Oil.......... http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-tide-water-cl-w0052.html

Then Im Gonna Try For 2.8 - 3.0GHz

 

[nitto1320i]

how did u manage to get close to 1000HTT @ 2.6ghz? :? i got a 3200+ venice oc to 2.5ghz with 250*10, 1:1, 4xHTT*250=1000. my question is how do i up it to like 2.6,2.7 or 2.8 without exceeding the 1000HTT? and what if its lower than 1000htt assuming around 800~900? does it affects overall performance and stability? anyone? :roll:

 

[survivor]

you should lower your htt multiplier from 4x to 3 or 2 x according to your fsb for example if you set 300*9 then you should lower your htt to 3x from the bios
