I'm using a Freezer64 (the original one with only 4 heat pipes)
Currently at 2.6 with stock volts, and 43 degrees c running 2 copies of prime 95. I've not really had a chance to try any other settings, so it may be able to go further without more voltage required. I'll be testing tonight to see what it can do

Waiting for a CCBWE 0546XPMW to arrive to put under my evap head 
Finally finished testing my 170 ccbwe 0550 upmw 408l cpu and cannot get it any higher than 2.8ghz prime stable at 1.35v tried up to 1.5v but it just won't be prime stable. Tried artic freezer pro cooler and swiftech watercooling but no difference other than a few degrees lower on water. It gets to 50c on water after 6 hours prime. Temps seem a bit high as my 165 ccb1e does 2.85ghz at 1.4v at 44c going back to this and flogging my 170.
Just found a place that sells 170's pre-tested. Fair few to choose from and best deal seems like the 2.9ghz @ 1.44v. 6hr stable. Wouldnt risk getting any untested from this place as they are most likely all the bad clockers and they are not much less anyway.
I don't think overclockers.co.uk have any way of testing the retail-boxed 170's so one couldn't say they were all bad clockers, seems a few have done well, but there expensive!
Having said that Opterons prices are still rising, so oc.co.uk just put a long term price on their stock so they dont sell out to quick maybe?

Mods won't like that, against the rules .

Did not put a name or link. Was pointing out that the untested apparently brand new ones would be the ones that are bad clockers - similar to places that offer dead pixel checks on monitors - ones that are "unchecked" will be ones that have failed.
Anyway wheres the fun if you already know what it will clock too?
