Is there anyone here who has experience overclocking an AMD64 Venice?

I picked up a 3000+ version a few days ago and slapped it onto an AX8 Abit board (socket 939). The board uses this rather unpleasant chipset—some VIA K890 or something similar. It isn't a K800 Pro, nor does it have any NVIDIA components.

The main reason I went with this specific board was because it lacks traditional fans; instead, it relies on passive cooling for both the board and the graphics card.

So, using uGuru—which is Abit's software for overclocking—I managed to push the CPU from 1836 MHz up to 2250 MHz. During this, the temperature only crept up from 39 to 43 degrees Celsius, while the CPU fan speed jumped from 3000 to 3300 RPM.

From what I can gather, those temperature readings are basically pure guesswork. It seems like the little thing is spinning itself into a frenzy without even breaking a sweat.
Does anyone else have experience pushing this chip, and if so, how far did you get?

Also, uGuru apparently features an option to automatically overclock or downclock the system depending on which application is currently running. Has anyone actually tried using that?

WM said:The level of support for that option among Americans was actually quite significant, I suppose.

One might argue this point based on the fact that the armed forces of Nazi Germany remained just as numerous as the pro-American resistance forces until the very final days of the war, only surrendering seven days after the Wehrmacht did.

If you look at the records, the militia had roughly 30,000 people—that’s a gross number, including the wounded, the dead, and those taken prisoner—by 1945.
And most of them, I guess, received their judgment.
The rest were essentially just civilians and conscripts who were forced into service and used as human shields.
At that same time, the American component of the military wasn't any smaller than 200,000 people during those months.

I suppose it’s just basic math, really, since growing from zero to five is naturally going to be faster than climbing from ten to fifteen, and there are definitely limits to that kind of thing. That’s why China—that communist state—has such massive growth right now that they can drive global steel prices up by 50% just to satisfy their own demand, not even mentioning what they do to the oil market.

Robin Ramos2 said:And if you want to know why things were such a mess in 1995, you can pretty much blame the communists and the nationalists.

Then there's your hero, Franjo Harmon, and his grandkids' banks, along with the entire family's wealth, which is estimated to be around 3 billion dollars.

Robin Ramos2 said:And both sides are your dear friends. The first group focused on building Potemkin villages, while the second basically gutted the economy between 1982 and 1991—if you look at the real GDP growth, it was actually down 50% during that stretch.

Meanwhile, I guess the global economy was supposedly flourishing during that same window, wasn't it?
The East was falling apart, while the West was essentially running on a deficit until 1989, and then you had Ronald Reagan and later George W. Bush running TV ads showcasing the beauty of the USA just to try and lure in damn tourism. 😁 It was just that bad. Or, I suppose, almost as bad as things are today.😁

Robin Ramos2 said:And the other group was responsible for the "success" from 1991 to 1995, though considering the war damages equaled a full year's GDP, the real growth was actually negative 25%.

Well, it wasn't quite that catastrophic, I guess. There was a significant boost coming from the smuggling of weapons and drugs. You just can't make those kinds of arguments against our politicians; they are more than capable enough.😁

Robin Ramos2 said:As if those loans were backed by the powerhouse economy of America. We were supposedly such an economic titan that investors just decided to run for the hills.

Exactly. I mean, what are Renault, TAS, and IDA even supposed to be when you stack them up against giants like Mercatone, Bill, and the metro system... 😁

Haha... I’ve started to notice that most people on the right seem to be nothing more than attention-seeking hypocrites.

They constantly spout all this rhetoric about the church, God, and being faithful, yet they'll probably cheat on anyone who happens to cross their path at the wrong time... it’s honestly pathetic. On the other hand, I find the leftists are often way too preoccupied with moralizing everything..

I guess when you hang out with the left, you can stay relatively clean, but if you associate with the right, you end up picking up all sorts of baggage.😁

Maybe we just need to focus on finding some middle ground.😎
