just stuck 1.5v in to the cpu and still not prime stable

but iv played css for over an hour and no probs

get errors after a min or 2

iv backed it off a bit

gona change mem dividers from 1/1
 
Strange I have my opteron 170 in the same motherboard as you, I only have 1.3v through the cpu at 2.5Ghz with no problems, prime stable as well. Check the voltage through the ram you may need abit more.
 
sorted it

ram was running 1/1 with very tight timings

spd settings are somthing like

3.0
4
4
7
7

and the timings were

1.5
2
2
5
5

currently running at

275x10 = 2750mhz
vcore = 1.45

idle temps = 32c
load temps = 44c

30mins prime stable

i didnt push it any more as it was late and i had work

gona aim for 2.9 tonight :)

should have left it running PRIME overnight at the 2750, then you will know if it is truly stable, 30 mins is nothing mate.
 
currently running dual prime

280x10 - 2800mhz

load temp - 46c

ram timing are shot to hell so will tighten them when the cpu is maxed

would it be safe to run 1.5v through the cpu 24/7?
 
cant leave it prime now as i get bored with only 1 pc lol

so far tis 90 mins stable lol tonight i will stick dual prime on over night and report back to you then :)

gona play some games now :)
