Nice OC.
My Venice 3000+ does 240x9 at 1.45v but locks after that on AIBooster. Running ASUS A8N-Dlx-SLI, stock 6800GT, with Corsair Ballistix 2x512 2-2-2-6 at 2.8v (as is their standard spec). Tried 2.5-3-3-8 but still no go. What would you recommend for my next step? I'm a newb at OCing and anxious about adding too many volts.

Well two things, you have to isolate what HTT speed your motherboard can do. Then isolate what speed your ram can do. Then worry about what your CPU can do.

Anyways, Opteron's not pending anymore. Offers?

Thanks for the offer and thx for the link - finally a site with straightforward, step by step instructions on how to approach this. I'm taking it slow and steady. I'm quite impressed with this ASUS MB as it'll do 351HTT and the 3000+ with 1.4v does 2425 or 35% OC at only 44C on stock air. On to the memory now.

Bump.
Lurker wanted to thank you again for the link. Looks like my 3000+ will do about 2550 at 1.5v on Prime95 before errors so for the time being I'm playing it conservative and running 280x9 @1.5v, HTT @ 3x, Ram 1:1 at 2-2-2-8 1T, and my 6800GT at 385/1100 which'll run Prime95/3DMark05 for ever.
I wanted to ask in your experience what is the worst that can happen with too many CPU volts? Just loose the CPU or can that result in other collateral damage?_______________I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career, lost more than 300 games, 26 times I was trusted to take the game winning shot and failed.
