Am i coldbuggered

AMD Opteron 144
CAB2E 0540FPMW
Has been windows stable at 3.0Ghz with 1.6v underwater

Just got my mits on a Vapo which is being modded and will drop to -41c under a 150w heatload 24/7

is the steeping on my opty mean it's be cold bugged?

Mr Mister · 14 Apr 2006 at 16:51

2E mem controllers are bugged yes. Probably the worst ones. Cabye have a bug but not so early.

Is that -41C displayed on the screen on the vapo or a measured temp?

m3csl2004 · 14 Apr 2006 at 16:54

yes i believe it will

doubt any vapo will manage that

Drazic · 14 Apr 2006 at 19:54

Wana bet!!! It's taken directly from the head with a meater

And that's as warm as she got. Just used the 150w tester for reference. For the first 15mins it was around -44 to -45, and then slowly came down to about the -41 mark after a couple hours

m3csl2004 · 14 Apr 2006 at 20:07

so the evap head is at -48 and the cpu at -40?

Mr Mister · 14 Apr 2006 at 20:14

lol cpu wont be -40C, it will be the vapo sensor at -48C which is inside the evap tube, and the copper block at the end reading -40C. Cpu would be quite a bit warmer than that. Probably -10 to +10C

Everyone loves the displays on those vapos and its the same on my mach 2. Got it reading -67C lol, looks good but thats inside the evap tube, its warmer at the end where the cpu is.

thats what i thought.....

That unit in the pic under a 150w load and they are the temps one being the real and true temp off the fluke other vapo head

Jokester · 14 Apr 2006 at 20:53

CPU at full load will likely be about 0C or thereabout on a LS.

Any good, cold buged?

When ya say so early..what that mean exactly?

welshtom · 14 Apr 2006 at 21:22

most optys are cold bugged. that one will prob have cold bug around -10 ish.

Drazic · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:10

Sorry Tom only seen ya post on my wanted topic

How the XS boys sloved it then? is it the same issues as when they found withthe resitosrs and removing the IHS? They had to cover the resitor with armore tape or paint or seal string?

welshtom · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:34

theres not many runnign phase on optys over there.

the ones that are have got very very lucky

Drazic · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:45

Oh right...umm

Back to Intel then. Got the AMD stuff but not tated it working...umm i might of gotten lucky not the be scard then ahhaahah

Cyber-Mav · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:47

what about a CACJE :confused:

Drazic · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:56

Intel LGA 775 i think, get a 630J, 390 easy and a decent mobo and DDR ram...umm effort of it all

Jokester · 14 Apr 2006 at 23:00

How's recent 3700 San Diegos doing under phase?

Might be a better idea, as they'll do 3.2GHz I would have thought without too much hassle, probably more (assuming it's not cold bugged).

Nicked this off XS whoo

1st letter: "production/release code"
Pre-production or early samples have an "A" here where final production batches will be a "C" (for current chips). Some may recall that Venice samples where seen in the wild as "ABBLE" and current production runs are "LBBLE". While complete understanding of this is unknown at this time, it is clear that this has something to do with early samples.

2nd letter: "core cache code"
A = single core, 1MB
B = single core, 512KB
C = dual core, 1MB (each)
D = dual core, 512MB (each)

Note: 'Toledo' cores (1MB) with half the cache disabled will still be coded as "C". Therefore, you can see earlie 4600+ samples as ACXXX with only 512KB per core enabled.

3rd and 4th letters/numbers: "memory controller revision"
Works like a counter using all letter of the alphabet and digits 1-9. 3rd letter increments when running though all available 'steppings' as noted by the 4th letter.

FX-55: XXA2X
FX-57: XXBNX
FX-57 (new stepping)/FX-60: XXB2X
3700+ (new stepping): XXB3X
...
and so on...

5th letter: "revision code"
C = rev C (as in CG Clawhammers)
D = rev D (as in D0 for CBBID chips....)
E = rev E (as in the rev E 'San Diego' core)

So my opty is thus

C - current chip
A - single core 1MB catch
B2 - FX-57 (new stepping)/FX-60: XXB2X
E - REV E (as in the rev E 'San Diego' core)

Umm if my mem contoler is a FX60/57 and fatty has his under cascde -101 oddc then why will i be cold bugged?

Mr Mister · 15 Apr 2006 at 10:25

the new fx60 steppings are cold bugged. The B2 mem controller is one of the worst for cold bugs. And by cold bug happening earlier i mean it happens at a warmer temperature.

Drazic · 15 Apr 2006 at 19:20

fattys Fx60 is same mem job yet his is under -101 and does 4GHZ
