Anyone else with this Venice stepping?

[gurusan]

K I can't seem to get my Venice over 2.4 ghz.

Has anyone had any experience with the LBBWE 0552RPAW stepping?

Is it the E3 stepping? just check cpuz
i have an E3 venice and i can push it to 2.5 but then my motherboard ram voltage is holding me back. My ram prolly is too.
I can get it to boot into windows at 2.9 with a divider of 5:4.
All depends on your motherboard and ram and if you're running 1:1 or not.

Appears as if stepping is 2

I can't seem to boot over 2.4....my current settings are:

-240 fsb
-1.525vcore
-3.0 vdimm
-1:1 mem G.skill 2.5, 3,3,6 (played with timings to no avail)
-4x htt

Try running with a divider to see what your cpu's max is. Could be that your ram is holding you back. Also maybe try lowering your cpu voltage, I usually dont have to change mine until 2.3ghz and I start out at 1.8ghz, thats the beauty of a venice. vDimm looks good, so does the HT.
Try that and see what you come up with.

Joeisalsocool, save your avatar as a JPG so it downloads quicker.

It could be that the motherboard isn't a stable overclocker as well. The ram is the first thing that will hold you back.
