hi all, ok need some people to tell me if my system is performing as it should:

Opteron 146 @ 274 x 10 = 2740mhz @1.375v :D
2 gig crucial value ram dual channel mode 3-3-3-10 @ 228mhz :eek:
assrock mobo dual sata2

right, super pi scores:

1M = 30.953s
32M = 27m 27.438s

is that what it should be doing or is it off the mark?
 
right, memtest passes fine, 20 passes on test 5 and 18 on test 8, got bored after that so ended tests manually. ram is running at 3-3-3-10 2t.

snm used to test stability, ran snm overnight and got no problems, max temp recorded was 46c.

not a bad upgrade for only 170inc vat for the board and cpu, from a competitor site though.
 
just a thread in the memory forum about 1t, its a problem with the board.

also board is restricted to 274 htt with the official bios. only beta bios allows up to 400htt. but im waiting since all beta bioses are currently based on a old official bios.

when i first got the cpu all i did was drop the vcore from stock 1.4 to 1.375 then installed windows etc. when it came to overclocking i first went to 2.5gig, then 2.6gig then attempted the max of my boards current bios which is 274 and it worked fine and i ran extra long stress testing sessions.

i wonder if i should try dropping voltage to 1.35v? would have to do lots more testing i guess.

should i give it a go?

forgot to add the ram is running on a divider at 228mhz.
 
cool, would be nice to hit higher speeds. would be happy with 2.8ghz since its a nice round number. only another 60mhz to go for me to hit it.

then again i wonder if this chip could do 3ghz? :confused:
 
hmm really need to do some beta bios modding.

im currently running memtest with 4 sticks of ram giving me 3gig of ram. hoping that the 512mb sticks can handle 228mhz.

hmm, im at 1.35v now in the bios, ran snm for 3 hours and still stable.
do you guys think i can go lower on the vcore or should i just stop here?

ok been running snm now for 8 hours and stopped it manually this morning and ran some super pi tests.
seems to be fully stable at 1.275v set in bios. :D gonna try to see if it will go any lower.

holy moly thats good! :eek:

My oppy needs 1.5v just to be stable at 2.8! Still the best 117 quid ive ever spent tho :D
 
right im gutted, voltage won;t drop any lower, 1.2v will not load windows 1.225v loads windows but fails snm in 2 mins, 1.250v fails snm in 15 mins. and 1.275 been running snm for 16 hours+ with no problems, manually had to stop the test cuz i got home now. :D

wonder what this cpu is capable of on air though? need to get the bet a bios on the case im guessing.
 
My old 144 did 2.5GHz on 1.3v. Some of these chips can do very well under-volted. I did this on a DFI NF4 SLi-D.
