Does anyone know the max temperature of an opteron 146 chip? Ive just been playing a game and it got up to 49c in MBM5.
Its currently at 2.9ghz but ive not fully tested it yet
 
ive gone back to 1.425 volts running 2.8ghz. it wasnt prime stable at 2.9 ghz and im quite happy with FX57 speeds to be honest.

I think i could get it to run happily at 2.9 or maybe 3ghz but ill hold out at 2.8 for the time being. just a shame my Gskill is only at 250mhz. ill do about 270 max i think but then id have to run the 146 lower of course

(currently on a 180 divider)
 
geeza,
I think you have the same 0604CPAW stepping 146 as mine.
With a Big Typhoon on a DFI Expert, mine will run 3ghz. What cooling have you got m8 ?
 
im at 2.9ghz with max temp of 52C so far. all fans on minimum.

mine isnt prime stable but it runs all the 3dmarks and plays games fine. doesnt hang any more than it did and memory passes memtest for a few hours. for some reason my pc has never really liked prime. got a feeling im running too much on the PSU though (or my CD-RW is faulty) and its causing a power dip. cant copy on my CR-RW as it crashes so think the drives gone up the duff.
