Hi guys,

Any1 of u got any idea(s) how high this mobo can OC for a Venice 3000+ (0548) using Antec 480w PSU coz the bios VCore shown iz until 1.550v only so manage to go at 285MHz with that...But just wanna find out iz there any chance that I can do better than this?

So shouting out for all the guru(s) out there to help me out....

plz include the following details:-

Proc: AMD Athlon 3000+ s939
Core:
Week:
Mobo: Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe
VCore:
HTT:
FSB:
PSU:
CPU HSF (Brand & Type):
RAM (Brand):
Current Lantency (OC'ed):
VDimm:
RAM FSB:

Hopefully can help others user of this mobo too.....
Others OC info can be added as well.

Thanks Guru's

SLi Premium here

Can any1 help me out here with this mobo to achieve its MAX potential......

Update to the latest bios.

Why need max potential? You mean like 360FSB arh?

Firstly,do you really need that?

If can sure lar....if not I also no need spend so much for coolers instead of hardware ....but just need to get a grip on AMD characteristic 1st coz I'm a Intel user all the while....

You go and try and error la.. nobody really knows to max out the potential without seeing the thing

THen we discuss the problem here..

Try liao..... that's y need help, greedy maybe, but just wish it can hit 2800MHz at stable.....nothing much.

Lower ur HTT to 3X

Pump ur Vcore

Whats ur ram ??? Corsair wat>?

Is Corsair VS 512MB DDR-400 CL2.5, my Vcore Max is 1.550v only...tried HTT 3x on 290*9 with 1.550v, but cannot boot into Windows..... Need to my RAM set to 1T instead of 2T?

Come and get my DFI...hehehe....maybe u can go beyond 290 with it...hehehe

You are using Venice 3000+ which means you have a max multiplier at 9. So, in order to go 2.8ghz, you need RAM and mobo that can do 311HTT. Based on your value ram, the best bet is to lower your HTT Multiplier to 3x, and then set your ram to DDR333, and then chose 311HTT. Then prime.

If your mobo can sustain 311HTT and your CPU can run at 2.8ghz, then this should work.

Unless you can get some TCCDs that are real good, and run it at 2.7-2.9Vdimm, you can try to set the memory to DDR400 to run at 1:1. If not, you need to run with RAM divider as mentioned above.

There's no guarantees that you could hit 2.8ghz coz there's no such thing as certainty in overclocking. We can only give you the guidelines mentioned above.

Sure mate, I'll definately try it out!!! Finally, some1 show me the light.....!!!
Thx mate....

first of all try getting prepared b4 u overclock...

interms of hardware make sure your cooling,CPU,Ram,PSU is at its high standard...

then find the suitable bios updates, patches, etc so that maybe your windows would crash after overclock...This ensures that u wont having to meet the welcome screen on the setup page of WinXP again and again and again....

VS Rams???aiyo brudder....get ur self a UTT for Good sake's....280 nowadays for 512MB of highspeed memory...

Yah u r rite brother.... I'll already put it on my next month bugget.

If next month better get a TCCD or a 2GB modules straight away...yehhaaaa

Proc: AMD Athlon 3200+ s939
Core: Venice E3
Week: LBBLE 0518
Mobo: Asus A8N-SLi (non-deluxe)
VCore: 1.40
HTT: x5
FSB: 245Mhz
PSU: Enermax 400w
CPU HSF (Brand & Type): stock
RAM (Brand): Corsair VS
Current Lantency (OC'ed): 2.5-3-3-5-1T
VDimm: Auto
RAM FSB: DDR333 (166Mhz, sigh corsair VS)

Wow...nice stepping u hav there.....but try lower ur HTT to x3, coz I just did that...
they say must under 1000, dunno y also....

Any1 care to tell y?

The on-die MCH on the A64 cpu can't handle HTT above 1ghz properly and hence, will cause random issues such as reboots or crashes to occasional BSoDs.

That's as far as I understand, if you wanna know more, might need to ask those who takes EE as their major.

Eh you guys who tried to get the thermal material off the chipset heatsink of the A8N SLi, try WD40! Serious shit it just melts the material away leaving the chipset heatsink like NEW! Just found out while playing with this board.....

IO Guy, mine is A8N32 SLI...

Proc: AMD X2 3800
Core: Manchester
Week: xx
Mobo: Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe
VCore: 1.6V
HTT: 260
FSB: same as HTT.
PSU: Silverstone ST65FZ
CPU HSF (Brand & Type): BigWater
RAM (Brand): Mushkin Enhanced RAM (UCCC)
Current Lantency (OC'ed): 3-4-4-8
VDimm: 2.8V
RAM FSB: 260MHz aka 520MHz.

Not sure how it's gonna help you, but you could use them as baseline for your overclock. My Manchester is not a particularly good chip though.

Wow, VCore can reach 1.6v. Mine max 1.550v only. Btw, I don think that's the max, still can tweak somemore rite?

I think no point in raising it further beyond 1.6V as the quality of my chip is maxed at 2.6ghz.

mine can do 313 htt but i set the multiplier to x8 cause dun wanna add the vcore... 2.5Ghz sufficient for me...


Attached thumbnail(s)

wat use of the pci-e express clock...
it is in this mobo a8n-sli deluxe..
default is 100Mhz...
if i increase to the max 145 Mhz if im not mistaken...
any differents in my GPU performance??

any pro pls help....
My rig :
Proc: AMD 3000+ Venice core
Core: Venice
Week: xx
Mobo: Asus A8N-SLi
VCore: 1.525V
FSB: 299
PSU: CM real power 450W
CPU HSF (Brand & Type): Thermaltake Silent Tower
RAM not done yet.....

may i noe wat is the ideal Vcore should i put? Coz im having a 3780 GC.... not sure abt the power here and ther.....and i seemed cant go FSB 300... stuck at 299....

pls help lol... tqtq
