The Opteron Skt 939 Overclocking thread !!!!

Scottland · 17 Oct 2005 at 20:09

Mine's installed now, BIOS doesn't recognise it but it's set it to the correct speed and CPU-Z is picking it up ok. Sent an email to Gigabyte asking when they plan to update the BIOS revision.

At stock speeds it's marginly faster than my 3200 Winchester, also at stock on 1M SuperPI.

A round of 32M and temp hasn't gone above 32°C, this is with the case side off mind.

Will start to fiddle now

heres one for you rich why do certain boards now come with a molex connector?

I believe it's to provide more stable voltages to motherboards with the increasing demands of PCI-E etc. My DFI has one.

EDIT - Oh **** it's not plugged in!

Have you bought the SLI version? If not, then no as the other PCIe slots will be 1x slots, not 16x ones. They're physically a different size - so if this is the case there is no way to mod it.

Richdog · 17 Oct 2005 at 20:26

You can mod it I think but im not sure how, check out DFI forums and do a Google.

Should you be accepting advice from me? Probably not.

I stand corrected then, I wasn't aware they did non-SLI boards with 2 16x slots.

tatts · 17 Oct 2005 at 20:32

the ultra d can be modded to sli easily, ive just read some guides and plan on doing it to mine

HERE is one of them

Darth Sidious · 17 Oct 2005 at 20:56

yeah tatts will leave mine until I can afford another GT, it even works with a pencil

why pay more.

the problem is finding the right sized sli connector

tatts · 17 Oct 2005 at 21:14

just email dfi and say you never got one, worth a try

Minstadave · 17 Oct 2005 at 21:54

Got some Gskill LE's arriving tomorrow, will see what my CABYE can really do, 2.5Ghz is rock solid at stock volts so should be good for a whole lot more, I'm idling at 26 degrees, load is about 32

ken1307 · 18 Oct 2005 at 06:48

Im so close to 3Ghz now !!!

here is SP32M at 320x9 with "just" 1.568v

Darth Sidious · 18 Oct 2005 at 07:45

Ken, I hate you in the nicest way possible. :mad:

Good job mate you got a great CPU, i'm sure you'll hit 3ghz after some burn-in.

zixiazhang · 18 Oct 2005 at 12:47

Hey Ken when you burn in do you use high voltages or low voltages?

Cheers

Darth Sidious · 18 Oct 2005 at 12:52

I left the CPU at 1.648v and play CS:S, run S&M, Prime, SP...etc..cant remember but always at higher voltage than necessary :cool:

Darth Sidious: it should fit no problems

Richdog: please dont hate me, hate the guys with 3Ghz at stock voltages..im not there yet
