AMD Opteron 170 lowered in price!

I have just placed my order with Ocuk. Can't wait to get my hands on it and see how it clocks. Must be one of the new 06 batches.

well if they are anything like mine you will be pleased as punch.



2.7ghz on stock vcore 1.3v :D

Edit: at this price price point the opty 170 is simply the cpu to get!

Let us know the stepping and initial clocks as soon as you can, I'm sitting here with my finger on the button. :)

could you please let the rest of us know what stepping and clocks you get from this, we would all appreciate this, thanks

good luck too :)

That's the same as mine that arrived a couple of days ago. Out of interest, what temps are you seeing?

Mine seem to be a bit on the high side, 51-52C under 2x Prime95 Large FFFT (Max Heat) and 45-46C on idle (no Cool 'n Quiet). So far Prime-stable (but not run for long enough to really know) at 2.6Ghz (highest I've tried yet) at stock vcore (1.39v). Reported MB temp on the Asus A8N32-SLI is 39-40C, ambient should be 21-22C. It is with the case (an Antec P150) open, as I've not yet finished hooking everything up, so airflow may be impeded.

When running at stock speed, load temps are 46-47C.

This is the third time I've re-attached the HSF (TT Big Typhoon) so I'm wondering if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong with applying the Arctic Silver.

Do small FFT for burn!


anything under 60c is fine!

try to aim for 55c dual prime stable
 
They sold out a few days ago, then the *1-3days* sign appeared, then it change to *out*, now one day later its back to *In-Stock*?

I guess kingnothing will break the news (let us know when u get the order has shipped email).

easyrider, sorry but you are making no sense at all?. Is there something you are driving at or a point you are trying to make? because you seem to be acting a little strange?

Interesting. Any particular reason? The 'large fft' says something along the lines of "maximum heat", which is what I'm looking at first. I know the "small fft" is says it tests the FPU more.

I know the current temps are fine as such, but they do seem somewhat higher than some temps reported at various places. Obviously it's all different from CPU to CPU, stepping to stepping, motherboard to motherboard, etc.

Cheers.
