I'm no expert, but I've been told not to go past 1.6V

i had my 3200 venice to 1.62 for like an hour, then 1.6 for about two days on and off, but it was ran at about 1.57 for months, just depends on temps, if you can get prime95 load temps below 60c with it you should be ok for long term, atleast thats what i say, i tried prime95 today with my cpu just because it finally got real hot outside, i hit 62c with my X2 today but my ambient is like 95 f in here.

right now i have mine OC at 2.7 GHz with a voltage of 1.6 and with prime 95 i have temps of 45c would it be safe to OC some more

ur using the wrong temps sensor, 45c is like ice cold for a internal load temp
get coretemp and use that one, you might already be getting too hot

ok thats a good temp, i would run it a while and see if it gets any higher
if that was the absolute max i wouldnt mind upping it a little more
amd says the venice can run up to 65c undamaged, but there has to be a couple spots in the core that are a couple degrees hotter than what coretemps tells you

i would recommend the Z3 but im not sure i like it anymore, i got it for $24 so i cant complain, but i would now have gone with that coolermaster 2x120mm fan heatsink, which is $50, its great for your ram also, my Z3 fits over my only ram module so its difficult to put some sort of fan over it(pic in my sig)

i dunno what i ran my old venice core at but i ran my x2 at 1.7 for about a year.. and well its dead
i have upgraded to am2 but have not fixed my sig yet.. still testing
1.6 is the limit if u want it to last longer then a yaer.. LOL

I'm running my Venice 3000+ at about 1.5~1.58v right now and in the past without any problem. That processor is a beast.

for 24/7 usage I wouldnt run more than 1.6ish on air and for water 1.75ish

mine was running 1.7 on water and it died after a year..
i dunno if phase change effects its life.. temps were good it never went over 50c and it was fine.. maybe it was just its time
lol
