3200+ Venice and Bios 1.8

Osirus · Jul 26, 2005

I recently picked up a 0521 Venice 3200+ On my inital overclocking trial's I have been unable to achive high clocks, Currently Im running at 2.6ghz with a 5:6 divider, 2.5-3-3-7 2T

I cant really seem to get higher then that without getting the wierd errors like my windows install is corupt. Is there a known issue with the Neo2 and the Venice CPU?

Any tips will help out a bunch here. I want to hit some high numbers, and I know this chip is capable of doing so.

Not that I'm aware of...Although 1.8 bios doesn't "officialy" support E3 revisions, you can still get decent oc. I just got my Venice about a month ago and I can do 2.5Ghz with 1.4v, 2.6Ghz with 1.45v. I have not tried pushing it all the way, but I can do 290HTT and 1:1 memory with 1T. Maybe try new beta bios and see if you have any luck. Could be the chip itself, but I doubt it though... :shrug:

Osirus you need to use the 1.9 if you aren't already on it.

Osirus · Jul 26, 2005

Where is the newest 1.9 at? I read they have some funky memory settings I know nothing about

Sir Golitech · Jul 26, 2005

BIOS 1.9 was rock stable for me @ 2.8GHz with ram set at DDR333 with 3-4-4-8 timings. Although I'm now using 2.1 the OC is pretty much the same. The "funky" memory timings are not all that great, the timings are now all set to auto. So unless you know what timings are what, it's a little confusing.

Good luck & Happy OC'ing

EDIT:
Sorry my bad, I thought you had the AV8 mobo.

Osirus · Jul 26, 2005

so can I just change the memory timings that I know?

Sir Golitech · Jul 26, 2005

I'd only change the....
CAS# Latency
RAS# to CAS# Delay
Ras# Precharge
Cycle Time (Trans)

Ya u can leave the rest on auto if u don't want to mess with them.

Osirus · Jul 26, 2005

nice.. I might try that later then. Where can I get the 1.9 bios at?

MoPMatrix · Jul 26, 2005

I have it on my server
http://www.msi.sploitz.com/

And another popular place where everyone gets their BIO's
http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo2.html

The 2nd one doesnt have the modded BIO's of 1.90 tho yet, and the only ones that have the extra timings are the mod versions.

Osirus · Jul 26, 2005

which do you recommend for using?

MoPMatrix · Jul 26, 2005

The plain MOD one, no Light or Temp

Cool.. Thanks, Ill do that when I get home later on tonight. Im hoping I can get to at least 2.8ghz with this. 2.6 just isnt good enough for me.

There is a version of 1.80 with the 1T option enabled. Need For Mhz put it out about a month ago. You can download it from Here . I have used it and it works just like the official 1.80 except that 1T is the default instead of 2T. That having been said, the 1A3 shows promise, so consider it also.
