The official opteron 170 overclocking thread

easyrider · 21 Jan 2006 at 21:00

Hi,

Thought I would start a thread about the opteron 170.
As I have seen a number of people saying that they are running this fantastic cpu

What stepping, clocks and voltages are you running.

At the moment I am running 2.6ghz at 1.475 dual prime stable on air

CCBWE 0534 SPMW

Would be interesting to know what other people were running.

Thanks for your input.

hehe i would hardly think you'd need an 'official' opty 170 thread seeing how hard it is to get hold of one... Not likely that the forum will be flooded with similar posts.

Matt_Hirst · 23 Jan 2006 at 13:06

Mercyless,

Am real happy to be running 255*10 on stock volts now.

Just fitting the water set-up so I may push the volts up higher - am just messing around with ram at the mo as this corsair maxs out at around 218 - what ram you running and at what speed?

rregards,

Matt

easyrider · 23 Jan 2006 at 13:14

I'm running Gskill 4000 HZ 1:1 @ 260mhz

My opteron 170 CCBWE 0534 SPMW running 2.6ghz @1.475 v

Same here I'm to scared to take off the IHS! :eek:

i'm running g.skill 4000 HZ , same as easyrider, but@ 254, 180 divider.
your corsair max out very low, which set you running?

Matt_Hirst · 23 Jan 2006 at 15:37

I am running Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX may loosen the timings to see how they fair, but failing this I think I may order a set of the gskill.

regards,

Matt

P.S. Hhhhhmm to remove the IHS or not???? LOL

easyrider · 23 Jan 2006 at 15:41

yeah the gskill HZ is good fast ram at a great price

anyone know what they max out at on stock timings?

clone · 24 Jan 2006 at 12:33

Thinking of buying this cpu and putting it under a phase cooler
