Something really strange going on with my Opteron CABYE 0536GPMW in dfi ultra-d i get it up to 300*9 perfectly fine with 1.5v and its prime stable for at least 2 hours which is how long i ran it for and its pretty stable but quite warm at 48 underload with xp120 well the problem is when i try to go over 300 even at 301 the goes throaugh the splash screen and then goes into the bit whre it tries to save the bios with the black backgorund and white writing and doesnt save it no matter what i do i've tried it with more voltages with ram 1:1 and on a divider but with no luck i've also tried 2 different bioses and the same things happens in both does any1 have any ideas?

my m8 (who got an 144 + Ultra-D + xp120, just like you

) got kinda same problem, what he did was up the LDT voltage abit, hes at 325x9 now

Is it just me or have i got a big sign stuck to my head saying ignore me?
I heard these where good forums so i joined but so far i aint recieved any replies?

nightjim... 150 opounds is expensive, and the stepping isn't the best overclocker out of the 144's from all reports... so it's up to you.

night8jim · 12 Oct 2005 at 22:57

Thx very much for the help, its just finding one that ships to the uk thats all, i will keep looking i think.

will it work ok on my Asus A8N-SLI mobo i have the latest bios installed?

is the multiplier locked on these 144's?
richdog, do you know what youre getting? i **** have the same

if you read the thread from the begining more carefully, you will see that everyone in here got the CABYE 0536 GPMW

I dont know for sure, but I presume so.

Mine is a CABGE 0536 VPAW... not the best OC'ers by all accounts... need a lot of voltage... I can but hope... think i'm in for a dissappointment.

These threads are terrible on the credit card Just gone and ordered a:

Opteron 148 CABNE 0528 GPMW

night8jim · 12 Oct 2005 at 23:28

I will give it a miss and try and find a better one.

Hi guys.

I have just ordered a 144 Opteron that will probably be a CABYE XXXXXX stepping. I now need to decide on a good motherboard to use with the CPU. I plan to use it with:

Geforce 7800 Gt OC
Ballistix PC4000 RAM (already have)
XP120 cooler (already have)
Tagen 480w (already have)

I am looking to get a nbice stable overclock on air with the XP120, hopefuly in the region of 2.4 Ghz but would go higher if the CPU/board/RAM etc will take it. I read on the Opteron thread that most people recommend the Epox NF4 Ultra board, and this just fits into my budget.

Do you think that this would be the best board to go for? I really don't want to spend any more than £80 on a motherboard.

Thanks for your help with this, and I hope I haven't gone too OT with this post.

Cheers

Rob

Looks like you'll have a good clocker there.

Goksly · 12 Oct 2005 at 23:42

they are available at the same place the 144's are from. look at the forum on there.

Richdog · 12 Oct 2005 at 23:43

nm I thought it was a 144... so tired my eyes aren't functioning too well...

Minstadave · 12 Oct 2005 at 23:46

One overhaul of my watercooling (well several really, I messed it up once, the second time it pee'd water everywhere, third time lucky touch wood) and I'm ready to see if I can do better than 2.5Ghz stock volts

Changed from Ehiem 1250/DD TDX/Heater core to Aquaxtreme 50Z/LRWW (which is beautiful!)/2x120mm Swiftech RAD, temps have dropped about 7 degrees and I've improved my chipset cooling by about 5 degrees, not sure if this will help my divider problem but its worth a shot.

Figured out my problem there was a setting in the memory section for the dfi bios called DRAM Response i had it on normal but now that i've put it to fast it seems to be a lot happier and i'm currently at 322*9 1.6V

craigjarvis · 13 Oct 2005 at 00:06

Well thanks to my mate gethy's phonecall this evening saying how good the 144's are doing, i bit the buillit and have just ordered a 148 CABNE 0528GPMW, it should be here friday

What problem were you having?

Edit - just saw what you were having problems with, sounds a little like mine, will try changing that and seeing if it helps

ken1307 · 13 Oct 2005 at 00:16

last shot of today, im off to sleep

SuperPI 32MB @ 325x9

Stepping = CABYE 0536 GPMW
Cooling = TT Big Typhoon

dunno why the image look like that, double paste?

I got validation too, its supposed to shown on CPU-Z in that shot but somehow I %^&&* it up

I hate you all... i'm going to be getting 2.6ghz with 1.8v while you all sit at 2.9 with 1.5v...
