I would just like to see what the average OC with the chips as well as prove a point.
AMD64s OC amazingly!

Mine:

AMD64 3200 939 90nm Stock: 2.0ghz currently at 2.4ghz and stable.
MSI K8NNeo2 Plat:

Will push it up to 2.6ghz when I get a better Powersupply.
 
i doubt a better psu will allow you to get an extra 200mhz out of the chip... think more like 50 ;)

and i have an old 3200+ clawhammer. does 2.3 wirh 1.55v and 2.4 with 1.75v
 
My 2800+ Clawhammer, C0, 512KB L2 cache does 9x244=2196MHz (Basically 3200+ speed.) This is at 1.55V, the highest my board goes (though CPU-Z reads it at 1.568, so meh.) This is an overclock of about 400MHz. Too bad I don't notice too big of a difference in anything other than benchmarks :(
 
Reason I can't get 2.6 is because of the amount of power going to all of the fans.
There's not enough power to have all of my case fans running. So I can't see what my official idle temps are. So yes, technically it could give me another 200mhz. Which I know the processor can do 2.6 because I was able to do it without any case fans in.
 
haha, that's sad sheps... either that's a lot of fans or a rather weak psu ;) i'm kinda betting on a combination thereof.

oh, and btw, i can get my 3200+ to boot up to 2.6ghz, but it's not exactly stable :D
 
3500+ winnie w/ A8V Deluxe 240x10. Retail heatsink with AS5 load at 44c :p Should I go for an xp-90 and try to push another 100-200mhz out of it?
 
what voltage are you getting those temps at?

edit: from now on, with your oc's, post your voltage and load temps.
 
msi k8n neo 2 plat mobo
3000+ Winchester

1.8ghz stock running at 2.3ghz, havent messed with it since i got the oc, can boot 2.4ghz but not nearly stable, not sure if its the ram, psu, proc, or cooling. Happy with the current OC though :p

oh and thats on stock voltage, the neo2 voltages suck ass :p
 
I have an a64 3000+ w/ cg stepping. 2.4ghz if pretty much the highest seven if i set it to 1.7v in the bios.

running 9x266 so my ram can run a little faster as it won't run at DDR480.

I some new ram might help but i'm not gonna buy anything more till I can get my hands on a venice core.

sounds like you have an almost identical core as me..
2.4 is the highest i can go stable, and i can't reliably get my ram over 240mhz, regardless of timings

just out of curiosity, can you do 2.3ghz at 1.55v, 2.2 at 1.45v and 2ghz at 1.3v? or do you need more or less voltage for each of those?
 
I have a newcastle 3400+ that I had running at 2.5ghz for awhile, not great considering it starts at 2.4 stock. That was at stock voltage, I am going to buy some better ram and I am hoping for 2.6 at least. 2.7 would be awesome. I have no idea what these newcastles do for OC's though.
 
My 2800 s754 boots into windows at 2.6, but doesn't pass prime95. It's stable at 2.4 with default vcore and retail HS/fan.

yeah exactly the same. I think 2.3 ghz might be stable at 1.525v but it's pretty much the same. Guess we pretty much do have teh same core.

I'm not dissapointed with the performance though. I will be going venice when it is available just cause I want to.
 
A64 3000+ 939 w/thermalright xp-90 on epox ep-9nda3j

290fsb 3xht 1.55volts 2.609ghz temps never exceed 92F.

other sys specs
2x512 geil blue shield 3200ddr
9800pro saphire (special ed 128bit version)
420watt turbolink psu
20gig ata66 7200rpm (slows down whole system!)
lite on dvdrw+whatever.
 
Yeah, I have a Thermaltake 480W Xaser II PSU. So whenever I plug in the other fans and the drive, it will blue screen. Since I have left them unplugged. I'm 100% stable prime95'd and memtested.

So once I get the OCZ Powerstream 520W PSU, I'll be working on getting to 2.6ghz
 
My 3500+ runs 2640 completely stable, from 2200 stock. I think I could push it a bit higher if I mess around a bit but I haven't really tried.

i'll be sure to post my 3000 winchester w/ bh-5s as soon as i get it
 
2.82ghz with my 3200+ on air w/1.6v-1.65v -> every time i boot into windows it's a different value and it doesn't matter what i set in the bios. it's game playable and superpi 32M stable and prime fails even at stock speeds. I can boot into windows up to 2.95ghz, but booting into windows is as much as it can do with that speed. this chip pwns me. :cool:
 
my 3000+ claw C0 stepping can boot into windows at 2.6ghz and is benchmarkable at 2.57 @ 1.744vcore and stable at 2.4 other specs in sig.


BTW pure...what kind of temps you getting at 2.82????
 
3200 Winnie on Neo2, 1 GB OCZ EL 4000, 6800 GT, Antec 380 PSU.

MSI corecenter reports 37c idle and 49c load. but when i'm idle i have my tornado on low so i could get lower temps if i wanted to.
 
I got my 3500+ Winchester running at 10x250=2.5GHz right now and rock stable. I was able to boot at about 9x285-290 but my screen was artifacting in 3dMark05, so I backed it down. If I could find a decent setting to run it at 2.6Ghz with a divider my PC3200 will like it should take, but maybe I will try again later.

Does anyone know what the stock voltage is for a 3500+ winnie? I have had some mixed numbers from different sources. I have left my voltages at auto for right now, but I think that I could squeak some extra perforrmance out of it with a voltage bump...

thanks
 
3200+ Newcastle at 2.45Ghz 11X223, idle 36C, Load 43C, XP-90. I would try a higher FSB but my ram doesnt like it, and I have no idea how to set a memory divider with my K8N-E deluxe :(
 
2800+ newcastle in sig. (1.8ghz @ 1.5vcore stock btw)

would push it higher if i had a better power supply and something a bit bigger than a single 80mm radiator...but ya know....i just aint that rich....plsu a new video card is coming next...THEN a new radiator...THEN a new power supply...THEN a major overclock :p


ps...for all you with sigs disabled...
Athlon 64 2800+ @ 2.43 ghz (270 HTT) 1.65 vcore
on a.....
DFI Lanparty UT 250GB
 
sorry to say, but if you don't know how to change your ram divider, you should hold off on overclocking until you know some more about your board ;)

that being said, there should be a page in the bios that has all the ram settings, and the ram speed will be one of them. spend a min looking for it, the bios isn't terribly complicated :D

So how can you control the tornado, what r u using and where is it mounted on cpu or on case also how loud is it on low
 
Is it a safe assumption to say that these AMD64 winchester processor are pretty tolerant of voltage differences. I am just checking out these posts and voltage overclocks range from 1.4V past 1.7V. It has been my past experience that processors are very sensitive to voltage increases. I was worried to get my past 1.48, but it seems to get the most out of my processor I have to push it well beyond that? Is a 20% voltage swing normal for processors? I just want to make sure before I go nuts on my new winnie. Thanx
 
i find very little benefit from going more than 3% over stock voltage on my clawhammer (1.55v gets me 2.3ghz, 1.75v gets me about 2.4)

wk 41 3000+ Just won't do 2.7 stable even at 1.7v. It'll zip along happily at 2655 with 1.5vcore all day and night though. 33 idle/48 load
 
3500+ Newcastle currently @ 2.45ghz (223x11.0) with 1.55v, Sapphire 9700 Pro. Best I can do without faster RAM that would allow me to run a higher bus. Super Pi is 36s.
 
245x10 @ 1.65-1.7v with 5/6 divider. can boot with 263x10, but windows usually crashes out.

The Winchester cores dont tolerate alot of voltage and increasing it much past 1.6V really doesn't help you any with stability. You ither get a good overclocking one or you dont and more voltage usually doesn't help much if any. I would keep it under 1.7V on the Winchester cores.

which week is your winnie 3200? Does it pass prime for 10+ hours?

MIne is 0441SPMW. I don't do Prime. I can run all my games and benches at that speed. For daily use, it stays at 255x10, and don't have to push the CPU at all.

Yikes that's scary to hear... I'm running a winnie 3500+ @ 2.4, 1gb pc4000 geil, cdrw, dvd, 4 case fans, and a 6800gt on a 400w non-truepower Antec psu. Everything is stable and fine.. but that's odd you had problems.
