Anyone make it much past 2.8ghz? I've prime stabled @ 9x311 1.6vcore ram at 255ish with the 5:6 and 10x278 with the ram @ 1:1, timings just a bit more loose. (1:1 on the ram in that case gives me more mem bandwidth and my best 1m superpi so far 30.6 something)

Going to 1.65v doesnt seem to help much and my cooling isnt up to par with 1.7, so I guess this is the wall I am stuck at for now until I can get some more voltage to my ram.


Eventually i'll move this chip over to the dfi bandwagon and see if it does any better.
 
i can boot into windows at 2835, but it won't be prime stable... and my comp will load at 320mhz fsb(2880mhz), but it will crash loading into windows... when my water block gets here i'll find out if its my processor limiting that or not... 2800 right now is all i can do(still incredible on stock hsf)
 
Are there even more than 5 people left @ [H] that are overclocking nf3 boards?! :eek:
 
I had an epox 9nda3 that worked great, I overclocked my venice 3000 on it to 2.6, but then the board died when it was 3 days old...so I said screw it, sold my agp 6800nu, got a jetway 939gt4-sli and two 256mb 6800nu for sli(for a super awesome price from a super secret place) and now i am happily riding the pciexpress wagon and i can now overclock that same venice 3000 to 2.7! it was pretty funny though, cuz I had been waiting and waiting for the new ULI 1695 chipset to release so I could get away from the nforce (is it just me, or are all nforce iterations prone to problems and quirks?...i don't think its just me...) and make the move to pcie when i wanted to not when i had to. so i got tired of waiting, and ordered the jetway cuz it seems to be the first problem free nforce4sli board, the next day a ULI 1695 showed up on newegg. ah well, as I said, the jetway has given me zero problems so far, its nice, reminds me of my old shuttle ak32a with my old athlon xp 1700 thoroughbred overclocked from 1.4 to 2.0ghz, that shuttle board is as stable and reliable as a firefly (people should watch that show, and quick before the movie serenity hits theaters). its good when you get a mobo you don't constantly have to think about. thats how it should be.

Yep, infact I just got my first one, a VNF3-250, last week along with an E6 Sempron64 3000+.

Yes I was a holdout. Well, the P4 in my sig served me well but the Opterons are going to be replacing it soon.
 
I'm still ocing my old Nf3. I have no need for a nf4 atm as i barely play any games (besides DoD and the occasional game of CS) and the only real reason i would want to goto nf4 is for a pci-e graphics card
