I recently bought a venice 3200+ and have found it to be a sub-par performer... i have only managed to get it to 2480 mhz stable... and that is at a nice 1.6v v-core... i have seen people who claim to have hit 2.6ghz on stock voltage... i know im not doing anything incorrect, i have the the hypertransport bus set to 3x248(x2 DDR)=1488. got my ram set down to 124mhz to make sure it is not my deciding factor... got an amazing xp-120 heatsink that never lets the cpu get above 34... so what could be wrong? im running all of this on an epox 9npa+ sli, with a geforce 6600gt, pc3200 g.skill ram (at stock timings). either im an idiot or i got the worst overclocking venice in the world.
