I got an opti 146 laying around, but is a good stepping. It says on the chip CABNE 0545BPMN . Is this a good stepping and what do you think it will goto, thanx :)
 
Wow 3ghz

Wow, thats faster than my Opti 165 at 2313 mhz.
Should i put my 146 back in or stick with my 165. I cant get my 165 past 2313, no matter what i do :(
 
I have an Asus A8n32 Sli Deluxe, Geforce BFG 7800GTX , 2*512 Corsair XMS Pro 3200(nice dancing lights),a Western digi 250g Sata drive.I once had it to 2.7 ghz, then i ran it at 2.2ghz for 3 months. Now got a opteron 165, that refuses to go past 2313 mhz, no matter what i do.Will the Opti 146 out perform the 165 if overclocked to 3.0ghz. I only play quake 1 and San Andreas multi-player :)
 
Ive done everything to get my 165 opti to go higher.Ive even had my friend sgoaty to help me out, and we cant seem to get over 2313 mhz. I lower the mem divider, added more core volts, highered the fsb , and the pc is unstable in prime.I also get crap benchmark tests after 2313, i just think i have a bad chip.
 
Erm, please forgive me, im just not used to overclocking terminology.When you say divider do you mean memory divider. Its at 166, if thats what you mean.My fsb is 257, so my memory is running at 210 mhz. Ive tried 133 divider and 100, and my pc can get to 2.5 ghz, but its soooo unstable. I cant believe that i have an opti that will not go above 2.3 ghz. Im gutted.
 
Ive got the HTT on 3x (600).:)

Oh, and im using a brand new Enermax Liberty 620 watts psu.

I aint tried it in a different board.Do you think it could be my memory holding me back.Im using Corsair Xms 3200 pro, 2 sticks of 512= 1024 megs of memory :)
