The Opteron Skt 939 Overclocking thread !!!!

Mines a 146 CABYE (thanks to Rich !) and I'm quite happy at 2.6GHz stock volts with 1GB Crucial Ballistix PC3200 RAM at 2-2-2-8 1T 219 MHz (??) 1:1 and it's super slick at everything :D although a boringly low overclock I know :o Great value CPU's (£112 all in inc p+p)
 
nope, they sold out fast tho, even when they raised the price to £151 lol
i think its gonna be a cabye 0542 though, will find out in the morning ;)
 
pmsl, im addicted, i see them in stock and buy one lol
want one with a stronger mem controller as mine gives in @ 3.15ghz unless the ram is under 200mhz
just sold my 2 144's for £70 and the 148 for £100 so will leave me with 3 lovely 146's, will post stepping in the morning :D

o and heskey, did you not have 3 146's? im sure i seen you auction 2 for profit
 
LMFAO,....you are the Chip dealer, you should change your Tag. :D
Well if my 144 doesn't want to play ball, I might be pestering you for a 146 ;) like Hue Hefner, he wouldn't miss one of his fillies ! :cool:
 
Right, Just got woken up by the Postie,(Yes, 10:00 well, I am off work recuperating you know :p ) My Opty has arrived.
Rip the wrapping off and,.........................................................its a CABNE 0540 BPMW,.... :( Ah well, could have been a Cabbage ! ;)
 
cheers, but we have a problem, even 1.65V wont run superpi @ 10x310 but its stable in windows with 1.6V. think ive got more ram problems :(
 
i have, 180, 166 & 150
bit confused now though, the other does 3.1ghz stable with 1.55V but the ram has to be kept near 200mhz for it to pass and this one is looking similar :(
 
Memtesting now at 3Ghz, RAM 3:2 at 200Mhz 2-3-3-7-1T. All seems fine so far (fingers crossed)! Do you guys just boot straight into Windows, or is there anything else you do to check stability? I normally run Memtest overnight before I let a madly overclocked CPU get anywhere near my RAID array :p

Cheers,

i just boot @ 10x280 and then 10x300 like i did with the one i got today, if it dont go in windows & pass occt straight away at them speeds with 1.55V its not worth me keeping it lol :p
 
Haha, I think you need to go OCA* meetings dude... you have issues! :p

Seriously though, don't you bother fiddling about with the gazillion and one memory settings in the Genie BIOS?? I spent about half an hour just now trying umpteen different combinations before it would boot!

Cheers,

Suman

i got one at 3.1ghz stable so any others i get, i only test briefly with all settings relaxed to try and get a rough idea what it can do asap, if it wont go over 3ghz stable its not good enough for my other rig lol

if anyones looking for a 14x & is wondering whats happening, it doesnt look good for opterons future, reading info like this everywhere atm :( here
