I have a gigabyte board and a socket 754 3400+ running on a second computer with some Corsair 1gb ram....How fast do you think I could get this to go?

Here is some pictures of a CPU-Z run (if needed)

Also the mobo is a Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M rev-2.0

I had a 3400+ on a DFI board and hit a max of 2684Mhz (244x11), 1.65v. This was with 2GB of G.Skill DDR500 and the CPU was watercooled. With my XP-120 I hit a max of about 2.6Ghz, 1.55v. What kind of cooling do you have?

My cooling is kinda of a, no offense -> retards way of watercooling. Here is a pic...it actually cools but only like -10°F...Less than expected.

It was 35$ off of Newegg, its slightly big, and I changed the "Anti"freeze out with Distilled H2O

Wow, that things actually pretty sweet. Whats the name of it? Does this cool better than an AC Freezer 64 Pro or something in that category?
 
Is that a 3400+ Venice core or a Newcastle core?

I have a socket 754 3000+ venice that does 2.7 @ 1.7 volts under water. That is a 24/7 clock, kinda high on the vcore but it's kept fairly cool. If that is a 3400+ Venice I wouldn't expect anything over 2.8ghz, as that seems about the limit for these chips. Considering you are only using a limited kind of water cooling I don't know that it will hit those speeds. If it's a NewCastle core, maybe you could squeeze 2.6 out of it.

EDIT* Nm i see from the pic that it is a Venice core. I should have looked first.

EDIT* Not really sure, my temps dropped but only at but -10°F making it @ 32°C

well im gonna see how far it will go... so far it sits @ 2.6Ghz on 1.5v but if i get faster ill put up another ss.

Make sure you add some sort of anticorrosive to that fluid. More than likely theres aluminum somewhere in the loop.

Yea, I put Distilled in for now to keep some of the crap from forming. But in Feb i plan to get a new rig, so no worries really for me.
 
Hey downer...I know that this thread was about the s754 3400+...but I thought that I would mention my s754 3000+ Venice is @2640 on air @ 1.6v...idle is about 36c...load w/Prime is about 49c. I use the Core Temp Beta 0.94 for the temps. Not too shabby for a lowly s754 3000+ Venice...on air.:)
 
That chip is going to scale with voltage so don't be afraid to give it 1.6-1.65v when it needs it. My 3400+ Newcastle ran at 1.6v daily and I think I put my s754 3000+ under about the same. 2.7Ghz should be do-able, 2.8Ghz would be stretching it.
