Opteron 146 clock results

Lol wtf? My Opty is at 1.5V at stock:

Go into the BIOS and change it to 1.4v. Some boards do that, not sure why, more usually 1.45v.

forgot to add, cooling is g-power bl and temps today were 26c case and 39c cpu on max load via snm.

not too shabby this cpu.

right i have now flashed to the ocwbeta2 bios. let the overclocking commence.

so far 3ghz is not stable even at max board vcore of 1.45v.

currently testing at 2.9ghz @ 1.375v. to get to 2950mhz seems i have to cranck the vcore up to board allowed max of 1.45v. guess this cpu not as good as i though it would be.

oh well still testing and will post up my results soon.

forgot to add ram is on a higher divider and running at 193mhz on htt off 290 setting. timings still at 3-3-3-10 2T.

will let snm run for a few hours then i will test to see what i can do with the ram. will try a divider of 5/6 to give 242mhz but i seriously doubt that the ram will hit that speed and be stable.

not sure if the timings can be tightened since it is value ram but never the less will try.

Cyber-Mav · 13 Apr 2006 at 19:02

right no luck with the ram at 242mhz got errors on second pass of memtest test 5.

changed divider back to give the 193mhz speed. gonna tighten up the timings now and see if its any better. either way looks like im stuck with 193mhz.

results just in:

193mhz 2.5-2-2-10 = errors

now trying 193 2.5-3-2-10

Cyber-Mav · 13 Apr 2006 at 20:37

ok here is my final settings:

2.9ghz @ 1.375v
ram is on divider doing 193mhz 2.5-3-2-10 2T

Max load temps after snm session of few hours was 48c

so how is this opteron holding up??

if that doesnt do 3 gig with volts ill write a political rap about it!

AlanJ · 13 Apr 2006 at 20:58

my 3700+ SD does 3042.5ghz with 1.488v

Btw, Very nice clocker there.

3000ghz - nice

Cyber-Mav · 13 Apr 2006 at 22:32

i guess its the board that is restricting me. snm has been running for 5 hours now and no problems what so ever, rock stable at current settings.

probably with a better board i could hit higher. but i guess this will do for now.
wish this board was able to run at 1T and have more memory divider options in bios.

Drazic · 14 Apr 2006 at 20:50

I wish i could lend ya my DFI SLI DR to try dude.

Look out and about for one

Cyber-Mav · 14 Apr 2006 at 21:50

yea the dfi extreme board caught my eye but it costs a lot of cash. guess i can wait till the endof this year and the price should have hopefully dropped.

m3csl2004 · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:06

theres some cheap dfi's in b-grade mate

Cyber-Mav · 14 Apr 2006 at 22:43

naw, bad experiences with the b-grade department mate.

gonna sit at 2.9ghz now and wait for a decent board to drop down in price.

geeza · 14 Apr 2006 at 23:03

try putting 1.5volts through it and upping to 3.1 or 3.2ghz

thats the thing, his board would need a vcore mod to be able to do that

DO THE VOCRE MOD TBH!!!!!!

xiphrex · 14 Apr 2006 at 23:31

Yeah do the vcore mod, its very easy. Just get some silver paint and dab it a couple of times between the 2 points your supposed to do, let it dry, do some more, dry repeat. Involves no soldering!
