clocking my 3000+

[dehlak]

Hi, this is my first post and I'm pretty well a new member, jsut been reading a bunch on clocking and my processor seems to take a bit...

I have a A64 3000+venice and my MOBO is a k8t800pro v1.6

just trying to see what I can clock to and what I can do to lower my temps but keep the same speed...

LTD is at x3(600mhz)
RAM-133 166.9 cpu/8-171.6 cpu/14(I forget the voltage)
CPU- 267x9 (2.4gigs)

memory timings
1T
2.5,2,2,6,8,16

my temp under 20 minutes of 100% load went to 57C
(just for ****s and giggles I have a antec sonata II)
cosair value ram(1gig) pc3200(max bandwidth200mhz)

I was running ram at 166 with the same timings when I was at 2.3ghz @ 1.2Vcore but I did not check my temps, but my ram was 215mhz(cpu/6 and 217mhz cpu/11)

I don't know all that much about overclocking yet and all the help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

EDIT: Can a low voltage provide higher temps...or is it strickly, high voltage = higher temps.
3 days at this setting and I haven't had a crash yet, so to me, thats is stable...

here is my overclock and i feel that i have quite a bit more room to go... i am still thinking about pushing 2.5-2.6 idk yet tho.. lol 34% oc i think is pretty nice

my temp under 20 minutes of 100% load went to 57C

57 seems high...

i have a 3200+ @ 2.6ghz @ 1.6v and my load temps never go over 40c...

check to make sure the heatsink is securely mounted.

edit : also what program are you using to monitor temps?

i think ur board or software is lying to you. theres just no way it can be under 40 if ur at 1.6 volts. im on water and im like 50 on 1.5

I'm running my socket 754 3000+ Venice @ 2.7 w/ 1.65 volts. It used to take 1.7 volts to acheive 2.7, but I just removed my heatspreader and it seemed have a positive affect on temps and voltage. It does 2.6 w/ 1.6 volts. I think you definetly have more headroom with that chip, once you lower your temps. What heatsink are you currently using?

i used to have a 3000+ 939 venice. I got 2700mhz (300fsb x 9) on a DFI ultra-d and 1.55v

 

[dehlak]

well im at 1.264 volts(cpuz) 1.275 MOBO setting

the V1.6 is the version of my bios(sorry for the confusion)

also my case is a sonata II

Edit- temp level monitors are-

Speedfan and soltek HW monitor

my RT is 17C-18C

never went over 18C under full load

its possible.
im on active TEC cooling, and 35C at 1.6V unde full load (24C idle)
