AMD Opteron 170 lowered in price!

[kingnothing]

£317.19

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.

 

[kingnothing]

Looks like they have the 175's and the 180's in stock also

 

[kingnothing]

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).

Dear Mr ***** *** ****, Your Order has been packed and is in the process of being shipped.

This is what I got in my mailbox Friday afternoon, should be having it on Tuesday

Is that one from overclocker.co.uk? if so can you tell us the full codes on the chipsurface please?

Hi dude, can I please give you my stepping first thing tomorrow morning?? Awww please please

Damn my fingers are itching to try out my new chip which is waiting for my on my office desk (Have been home sick with flu lol)

Well here it is:

U guys have heard anything good about this stepping? Will I get 2.8GHz out of it?

 

[kingnothing]

recieved mine today... same stepping. as mentioned above ive heard 2.7Ghz on air

Yes!!

Well I have a decent watercooling setup here, 2.8GHz here I come!! (Well not now, tonight - when I come home from work)

 

[kingnothing]

What's your temp at now?

 

[kingnothing]

45 degrees is a very good value considering the fact that these 170's run quite hot. But imo you can forget running 1.5 Volt through it, temps will go a lot higher then. That's one of the reasons I have finally decided (and not regretting) to opt for a decent (not the Bigwater crap) watercooling setup.

 

[kingnothing]

any news on how the stepping clocks, just installed mine, but i aint got a gfx card atm so cant do nothing with it

Personal experience: Stay away from this stepping!!!! OCUK is selling these in high numbers. My Opteron 170 is already crapping out at 2.5GHz, a true dissapointment. Avoid at all costs
