just got a 146 CAB2E 0602, cant see many people with one, any ideas what they clock to ?

Week 2 of this year - that's about 5 weeks old. Your chance of getting a reply? Slim to none I'm afraid. The only way to know is to clock it yourself, sorry.

Yep you might be a first to have that stepping, so get testing and report back

YEah test test test

p4radox · 25 Feb 2006 at 11:46

I'd be interested to see how this clocks.

chopchop · 25 Feb 2006 at 14:32

got it to 2.74ghz, default voltage, need a better bios to get anymore.

chopchop · 26 Feb 2006 at 08:29

does the memory speed seem ok in this? i thought it should be faster??
3sticks of bh5 with 3.1v

your running in single memory mode thats holding you back

Ladforce · 26 Feb 2006 at 11:50

socket 940? or is that a cpuz error? if not then registered ram is always gonna run slower

loltim · 26 Feb 2006 at 13:47

Probably cos hes using an ancient version of CPUZ, we're on v1.32 now

You can't use Registered RAM on S939 can you?

Ladforce · 26 Feb 2006 at 16:27

nope only 940

Just ordered a new 146 opteron hoping it will reach 3ghz. My CABNE can get to 2.85 but no higher. I think it will be a CAB2E aswell

chopchop · 26 Feb 2006 at 17:33

yup tis an old version of cpuz.

im priming it at 281x10, 300x10 wouldnt prime for more than 2seconds, but im not sure if thats the cpu, board or memory causing it.
more testing needed to find max overclock, (may even swap the cpu to a dfi nf4 and test it in that, to save the hassle finding max oc on this board)

yea i need another 512mb of bh5 so i can have 1.5gb and run in dual channel

chopchop · 27 Feb 2006 at 23:37

looks like it needs 1.55v for 2850mhz :|

sepulchre · 27 Feb 2006 at 23:45

Mine needed more volts initally but seems to require less the longer its run at spped (2.9Ghz @ 1.4v, down from 1.5v when i first OC'd it).

What are your temps like at 2850?

chopchop · 28 Feb 2006 at 00:34

53c load. using an artic something or other which was on special offer here.

I wouldnt let it go much above that!

why not? I remember seeing my 2400XP chip got to 60c when it was a sunny day. it toughens em up. (dont blame me if yours sets on fire though!)

Because A64 CPU's are more sensitive to heat and will fall over much quicker when overclocked than XP chips.
