I wanna upgrade to a DFi expert mobo and also the gainwood goes like hell gfx card 2 Gig of Mushkin xp4000 so the buget is a little tight so was lookin at the 146 as i have seen some mad clock's have seen 3813 out of this i know this aint poss with vapor chill but woundered if 3 or 3.1 would be poss. All advise would be appericated

Thanx John

I'm also interested to learn what sort of clocks you can get with this setup - still looking for a 2nd hand phase change unit or sorting out a water cooling solution. Looks like I'll have to stump up for a DFI Expert board too judging from the reviews in various mags/web sites.

This hobby is never cheap *sigh*

I got 3.27Ghz out of my 146 under my MAch II, only got the Mach II on the weekenbd tho and have'nt had chance to have a proper play, more could be possible

You should be able to get close to 3GHz with that setup but don't be surprised if you need a high core voltage (which can lead to premature CPU failure due to electro-migration).

Oh and its VAPOCHILL.

The Vapochill SE/XE/Classic that it sounds like you have probably wont get cold enough for the cold bug to kick in so you should be ok

Hopefully 3ghz will be easily hit

More than likely a hugely bugged copy of CPU-Z

BIGGUN · 27 Feb 2006 at 12:03

Yeah i got the Mach II vapor chill so looks like a nuts clock is poss then nice one guys thanx just ordered me bits from OC so should be here tomorrow.....

Mach II Vapor Chill?

Is it a VAPOCHILL (note, no R) LS, or is is an nVentiv (now gone bust) prometia Mach II?

I'm over 3Ghz on water with 1.65v (3Ghz only needs 1.55v), and I know Tom (welshtom) got 3.2Ghz with an Opty 146 on phase, maybe more?

welshtom · 27 Feb 2006 at 14:09

bah mine was never under phase. all water

Faked! I've not seen a 146 with a 12x multi

I've seen a 148 with a 13x multi

.

Opteron's can be hit and miss when it comes to being cold bugged. I had a 144 that just couldn't handle the cold, then a 148 that hit about 3.3GHz and was happy as larry on phase.

You've obviosuly got to use a MB that can hit high FSBs as well though.

Actually Jokester, didnt you manage something similar by swapping chips about?

Yep, this is it here, could have done with that happening to my 165 to be honest.
