Check This Out. Seems like the LBBLE chips are pretty good OC'ers

ROFL!
There are results there exactly like mine, on air like mine.. with similar voltages (in close range to mine) that are prime stable.. so why does everyone feel the need to call my results out as abnormal or bad? Jealous?
Whats the problem
Anyway, I'll let the thread know my results.

i dont care how old he is, as long as he can tell me he is getting 2.8 stable then i am a happy camper

Elfear - I've got a bit of a dumb suggestion, so if you already know/done it, just completely ignore my reply. But one thing I didn't do initially was connect the 5v 4pin (I believe thats what it was) near the middle of the DFI board. (I was in a bit of a hurry setting it up. I'm still not positive if its required)I was able to run stock and nothing else. Small overclocks didn't even work. Once I plugged it in, I got to 2.5 at stock voltage. Mine's an LBBLE chip as well.
Either that, or the DFI just hates Patriot ram.

Well, pretty dismal results here. I got a 3200+ Venice last night and played around with it for a few hours. I tried default volts at 2.4GHz but was a no go. Upped the volts from there to 1.48V and got it SuperPi stable (I know, not really stable but i didn't have a lot of time) at 2.5GHz. It seems to top out about 2.5GHz. I tried 2.6GHz at 1.66V and a whole slew of different timings and it wasn't even close to stable.
I threw the same chip into an MSI K8T Neo2 mobo with one stick of Mushkin L2 V2 ram and it wouldn't pass SuperPI 8M at 2.35GHz and 1.48V. The board is less forgiving than my DFI but it's weird it still requires so much voltage (more than default seems like a lot to me at this speed) to even pass at ~2.3GHz. My Winny pummels this thing. I'll post more results when I've had more time to mess with it but I really doubt I'm going to get much higher than I have.

Not sure what you mean by 200 mhz for the RAM but you need to use a divider in the bios so the RAM is excluded as a limiting factor for overclocking. Do what frown did and choose the "150" setting for the RAM and check what cpu-z is showing as its speed. Also make sure to choose HTT 3X. And don't even bother with the VIA chipset - it is not a very good choice for overclocking, and it is likely the limiting factor in this case.
Frown, last I remeber your LBBLE was doing 10x270 @1.61Vcore and mem at 193 2.5-3-3-8, but you said it failed after 4 hours of prime, yet you sure you could get it stable. Did you manage to get it stable (that is prime > 12 hours) and what was the final speeds and voltages ? btw although I dont own the DFI mobo I think you're doing everyting right as far as a general A64 overclocking techniques.

Guys, I'm going to update my initial results.
I swapped out the Corsair XMS with some OCZ Gold EL VX and the system is much happier now.
My new memory settings are:
OCZ Gold EL VX running at 255MHz @ 1.5 2 2 8
I also went over to DFI-STREET.com and read through the stickies. If you have a DFI board I highly recommend that site. The mods there are actual DFI tech paid to help users on the site. After some BIOS tweaks I found there I'm much more stable and (with the new memory and FSB settings) knocked almost a minute off my 32M Super Pi score..
My PSU is a little weak at the moment (400W) and most of the readings are undervolting by pretty significant margins right now. I've got a 600W Seasonic on order and will post back when it gets in and I get a chance to install it. Hopefully it will give me a little bit more headroom.

I've really pushed the Vcore up on this chip (1.60V). It hit a bit of a glass ceiling at about 2.4-2.5GHz that I couldn't get through until i pushed the Vcore up significantly.
Currently I'm using the Super PI 32M test to give me an idea of stability. I'll run Prime95 after I get a good idea what the ceiling is on this chip.

You've got CAS 1.5 at 255HTT :shocked: ... i highly doubt that .. screenie please
