Sempron 2800 64 OC expectations.

Exfoliate · 10-01-05, 10:13 PM

I'm concidering getting a Sempron 64 2800+ to go along with a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136162 DFI Infinity, and some http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ubmit=Property PC4800 Patriot ram. For a budget that should give quite a bit of overclocking potential right? My question is how far do you think I could push it? I'm thinking that a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106061 would be my best choice as I like a quiet computer but it looks like it will cool very nicely. Do you think I can get 2.8GHz out of this? Let me know what you think, thanks.

You could probably do at least 2.5-2.6 stable. I have the 3000+, which is stock 1.8GHz and 128KB L2, and I am running 2.75 stable on an nforce3 board with the TT Big Typhoon. I've done a suicide shot at 2.955GHz.

It really depends on your conditions. On default voltage this chip pushes a little over 2.2ghz

Exfoliate · 10-01-05, 10:50 PM

I guess it all depends, people on Newegg are saying 2.4 and above with stock voltage, but at 1.4 there's a good bit of head room. Do you think PC4800 is necessary?

lukumce · 10-02-05, 04:13 AM

When you get your system and OC you will see how far will it go .

I think that without any problems you should hit 2200MHz.

Exfoliate · 10-02-05, 10:25 AM

True enough

So would you say I would need PC4800 for a max out OC or would PC4500 or whatever do?

lukumce · 10-02-05, 10:41 AM

PC4800 works on 300MHz(600 DDR). If you take pc4800 you will be able to set HTT at 300MHz at CPU/MEM = 1/1 .
Many people who have venice are getting stabile OC from 2500 to 2800 MHz so PC4800 would be my choice (of corse if PC4800 isn't more expencive then PC4500)

Exfoliate · 10-02-05, 11:16 AM

Thanks man, yeah it does sound excellent, however it's about $20 more than PC4400 and the latency is a bit higher. Since I want a gig natually I may very well save a bit of money and get PC4400 from Geil, I could always OC the ram anyway.

kswaid · 10-02-05, 06:59 PM

You should expect a pretty high overclock with the 2800+. Mine runs at 2.8 stable, but I am forced to run at 2.6 because of my ram. Check out this thread, started by electrorcamd, for more info:

I am going to make 2 orders. I plan on getting the 2800+ with the dfi 250gb then next pay check or so the xp-90 and a 1gig of 3200 mabey ocz platnium el rev 2. I only have 768mb of pc2700 right now so should i be able to hit 2.2ghz ok on stock voltage and heat sink? Also will it be a pain to switch from stock hs to the xp-90? thz

Quailane · 10-03-05, 02:55 PM

You are guaranteed more than 2200Mhz. With stock settings I think it will get 2.3 or maybe a little more. My 2800+ did only 2.5Ghz, but then when I sold it to someone on these forums they got it to 2.7 using the same motherboard and the stock cooler.

Exfoliate · 10-03-05, 06:50 PM

Even 2.0GHz is pretty nice when you think about it, that would give you similar performance to an Althon 3000+ for half the cost.
Thanks for that thread too, great OC's right there, can't belive you can get over a 1.2Ghz oc form a $75 chip!

I wish I could still do that, but something is screwed up now. I think my motherboard may be dying. When I try to raise the htt over 300mhz, it locks up during boot and displays a screen saying something about nvidia ide raid bios. So, for now, I am stuck at "only" 2.4.

Good luck with your chip, though.

Thanks man, assuming I get one I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
