The Opteron Skt 939 Overclocking thread !!!!

Bossman · 21 Oct 2005 at 12:56

Sorry too lazy, can you just post what HTT stands for?

I've had a good read of this thread now though, I'm interested to hear what peoples opinions on the best stepping is. Does anyone agree with me by saying that the CABYE is the best then CABNE and then CABGE? Also could someone summarise what the best bang for buck Opteron is the 144, 146 or 148, looks to me like it’s the 146?

No... CABNE is the best, followed by CABYE then CABGE.

As for HTT... read this http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.php?p=203167&postcount=3

Best value CPU is naturally the 144

Thanks for the link and HTT is exactly what i thought it was.

Depends if you need a 10x divider if you're board can only hit low HTT - if so get the 146. I can't see any advantage in getting a 148 when the lower model numbers should overclock just as well.

144 opteron, GABYE 0536GPMW.
not prime stable as yet.
67% overclock on water

your temps are a little high for my liking and putting 1.7V through it, ouch!

i agree, temps somewhat high for me to,have to reset block a see,
1.66v not 1.7 thou, it been a few hours since putting this cpu in, need time to settle in

these boards under volt in windows though, look in the bios and i bet it says 1.7V

yeh, i know that , i'm taking about the shot,anyhow, who cares

tatts · 22 Oct 2005 at 19:23

the shot says 1.66v which is actually 1.7v which is why your temps are high lol
im only sayin cause over 1.65v could turn out costly

mercyless · 22 Oct 2005 at 20:23

as i said,i need to re-set block,i also have 3700 san diego, clocked at 3gig and temps are no where near that. 3700,38 load, 144 48 load
GABYE stepping from what i've seen in most cases need about 1.7 to run 3 ghz.
1.7v on water is fine,would never turn out costly lol

Richdog · 22 Oct 2005 at 20:25

What's a GABYE stepping? Do you mean CABYE or CABGE?

CABYE lol

can any of you chaps point me to a good overclocking Tutorial on the DFI boards, had this Cabbage upto 2450 before it wouldnt boot windows, I had my HTT upto 270 and all was fine, when I bumped to 280 it wouldnt boot Windows, and it gave me BSD's until I dropped to 250 then.

Richdog · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:26

In the BIOS make sure the LDT multiplier is set to 3x, any higher and it will screw up at high HTT. Also, you may need to run a divider (if you're not already).

Darth Sidious · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:29

running memory at 100mhz and LDT at 3x

Minstadave · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:31

It could be a problem with the low dividers, I could never compleste POST at high HTT with a low divider, but that was with 2x1Gb of RAM.

Try bumping the LDT voltage, that might help iron out instability. Are you increasing Vcore as you push up the HTT too?

Richdog · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:31

Memory is too low, why 100mhz? Put your system specs in your sig or something...

Darth Sidious · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:34

Opteron Cabbage 144
DFI Ultra D
2x 1GB Corsair XMS CP2T 2.5, 3, 3, 8 (should run at 2.5 2 2 6 but wont)
7800GT

Minstadave · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:35

What Vcore and Vdimm Darth? Try using the 133 divider instead too, you don't need to go as low as the 100Mhz.
