Yes, once again it is time to overclock another socket 939 CPU.
This time up on the test bench is the AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice E6 stepping (ADA3200DAA4BW).
I'm starting this one out the same way I always do, seeing how fast it can go at stock voltage, and then raising the voltage up to go further.
2.0GHz (stock): 1.3-1.31V (1.35)
2.4GHz: Not tested
2.5GHz: Not tested
2.6GHz: Not tested
2.7GHz: Not tested
2.8GHz: 1.38-1.39V (1.425V)
2.9GHz: 1.6V (1.5Vx110%=1.65V)
3GHz: 1.57-1.58V (1.5V x 107.2%=1.608V)* SLI-DR Expert 1.57-1.58V (1.475x110%=1.6225V) ** SLI-DR
3.1GHz: 1.72-1.73V (Not for the faint of heart, do not attempt to use this voltage with a stock cooler, you will need an upgraded cooler to use this voltage or you will destroy/kill your CPU.) It was not fully stable, but it ran, sort of.
I was kind of going all out when I tested this due to being in a competition for this CPU, so I kind of skipped most of my normal testing procedures. I'm assuming with stock voltage mine would go to somewhere around 2.5-2.6GHz though based upon the voltage needed for 2.8GHz. I have no idea why I have a higher voltage for 2.9GHz than for 3.0GHz, I'm guessing there's a typo there somewhere.
As always your results may vary from my own, and do not expect identical results, even with the same model of CPU. Yours may require more or less voltage, or might not run at the same speeds at all.

. Also a nice run!
