The Opteron Skt 939 Overclocking thread !!!!

nice one mate, still shows that even the newer chips can hit the 3. What sort of temps are you getting with them votls?

nogs · 20 Jan 2006 at 23:23

Using a Zalman 9500 LED about 44 max on full load and idles at 32. I'm really chuffed as you dont see many later CAB2E's reaching 3gig. Going to try reducing the volts a little once its settled.

Is your CPU voltage reported the same (or thereabouts) as the BIOS setting? ie 1.55v setting is reported as 1.55v?

On my Ultra-D the 1.55v setting in BIOS is reported as 1.52v on the actual BIOS reading and 1.504v in CPUZ. :confused:

Nogs, what Vcore you at?

Yea the same here.....Bios is set to 1.450 with 109.6% special which adds up to 1.5892 but the Bios reading is 1.57 and CPU-Z says its 1.552.
I just go by CPU-Z as MBM and ITE Guardian say the same.

Like i said above m8.

what does the special thingy do?

nogs · 23 Jan 2006 at 18:13

Its like a multiplier..... The max you can set the vCore to on the DFI mobo is 1.55 and the Special just increases the vCore by how much you set it at.

ie. vCore set to 1.55 with 110% special would give you 1.705.

Imagine it as TAX on your Vcore

Hi Everyone
new steppings of opteron 165's are out.I got CCBWE 0551VPMW, the supplier had some yesterday, gone today, but they still have a few 170's.....I will let you know how it clocks, if its anything like my CCBWE 0541RPMW, I will be a very happy man, 2.8 @ 1.6 watercooled. Will let you all know

nogs · 24 Jan 2006 at 17:50

Why did you buy another when the 1st chip has a super overclock ?

Si MPS · 24 Jan 2006 at 18:12

Nothing better to spend money on?

I'm still happy with my cabbage

dirtyginge · 24 Jan 2006 at 18:16

Well, I had an opportunity to buy, these are as rare as hell, and i have friends who im sure will be sooo glad of anything i have spare. Its a small group that we have, i like to look after them

..I will test the overclocks, and share the info for the knowledge of the community, then pass them on ( unless they clock higher than 2.8

)

I recieved my 165 CCBWE 0551VPMW today, currently primeing both cores at 2.75 @ 1.45v and 45deg

I also got a 170 CCB1E 0550VPMW, not sure ill even bother opening that at this rate ! One things for sure my 146 wont be going back in

dirtyginge · 25 Jan 2006 at 07:47

Im currently at 2.65 @ 1.45 on one of the chips, but feel this one needs a little burning in to help it along. It really doesnt like high voltage it seems this stepping......soon as i get out of this small chore callled working for a living, i will get priming...anyone got any idea where i can download k7cpuburn ?
havent tested the other core yet.........

Interesting reading and a comparison of different burn in utils:

That K7 CpuBurn utils kicks ass wiping the floor with the other utils...

Ive got my 146 to run at 2.65ghz

http://images.phunky.co.uk/overclock.JPG

Running on DDR333 Divider, 265HTT, 2T Timings.

Finaly got my SL-120 to fit on my ASRock board so it stays nice and cool, never seen it hit above 30c under load

Mrchu_ · 25 Jan 2006 at 12:26

hi all i just recieved a 170 CCBIE 0550VPMW.ill post its worth later.Anyone know anything about this stepping?

This is one from another forum

CPU : Opteron 170 (stepping CCB1E 0550VPMW, batch 334)
Cooling : DangerDen TDX water block
Mobo : DFI nf4-D mod SLI and SATA2 (bios 11/14)
Ram : 2*256MB Gskill TCCD 431
Overclock : 3G@300*10, vcore 1,5V (1,52V in bios)

Mrchu_ · 25 Jan 2006 at 14:28

HOLY TELODO BATMAN!
thanks devious,thats given me something to work with.Mines booting to windows @ 3 gig and doing this,but no prime as yet.Ill probably just use a higher ram divider.

lego · 25 Jan 2006 at 16:03

Mines just been delivered, no motherboard yet though, just hoping it's a good un

CAB2E 0546UPMW

it's a 146 any ideas?

hate to say it mate, but them temps are most likely wrong. its impossible for fans to cool under you room temp, unless your pc is in a very cold room.

at them volts it should be reading it just under 30ish idle.
