Last socket 939 upgrade

[GeForce]

Did you notice what stepping your Opteron 165 was youstolemyname?

Michael

Earlier in the thread he mentions it is the "LCBQE 0712 stepping".

mmm..



Barely started to push this yet.

I am sure I can hit 3ghz once the AS5 has bedded in.

I never noticed the stepping in the previous post. Same stepping I plan on getting, seems to be good one.

Thanks

still not happy with these temps......getting up to 60 now on load running dual prime.

Currently got an artic cooler 64, any recommendations for a replacement? Is the pro version a big improvement?

Looks like you have good case/cooling/airflow as the PWMIC and chipset temps are fine.

Is the Freezer hot to the touch? I suspect it will be as during my testing with 939 setups I found it can easily become heat saturated. Still 60c load temp isn't so bad and as long as the other temps are stable it'll be just fine like that.

There is a wide choice of newer heatsinks which efficiently dissipate a lot more heat than a Freezer 64 can handle so it all depends on how much you want to spend.

I doubt there is much difference between the non-pro and the pro freezers.

I dont really want to spend bundles.....certainly not 40 quid like the typhoon models seem to be. Plus I want something fairly quiet- which is why I was attracted to the freezer two years ago.

Seems like the pro has 3 heatpipes whears the non pro only has 2...

I've only used the Pro version and at stock volts (1.35v) it coped reasonably well but it's fan had to be running near it's max speed.

48 degrees for pwmic and chipset is 44 degrees.

using coretemp core 1 is 53 and core 2 is 52

i used to run close to 80c due to a terrible cap-core contact. was fine

decapped and it still runs >50c at times. these chips are tough. if its stable, and your below ~1.55v dont worry. unstable / v-high volts and your on your luck.

 

[Youstolemyname]

when you say it coped reasonably well, what temps were you seeing?

Still can't decide what cooler to get....any other recommendations for a decent s939 opteron dual core cooler anyone?

Want it to be quiet and cost effective

Sorry mate I can't remember what the temps were as I did lots of cooling testing over a period of a couple of months including replacing chipset cooler and removing the IHS. It wasn't heat saturated at stock volts but was pretty close to it.
