Worst Opteron Overclocks!

[Klytus]

We all are well aware of the potential that opterons have for overclocking but what I want to know is has anyone found theirs to be a real lemon???

I'm sure there are a few people out there who bought an opty expecting great things but have been disappointed with a relatively small overclock.

If you have owned one and it turned out to be a rubbish clocker could you post what type it was( 144, 146 etc), what its highest stable clock was and if possible the stepping. I am planning on investing in one for my 2nd rig but want to know if i should believe the hype or if there are certain chips to avoid like the plague. Thankyou for your input.

nikebee, what happened with that cabye opty? did ocuk exchange it or did you have to flog it elsewhere?

I have got a real slouch here: Opty [email protected], this cpu is not even worthy to be a keyhanger.

any idea what stepping it is?

had heard the 0551's aren't as good clockers as the 0550's but 2.5gig is still reasonable don't you think?
What kind of voltage are you pumping through it?

Is it just one of the cores which keeps letting you down?
My +3800 x2 will boot into windows at 2.8ghz on 1.45v but cant get core 0 prime stable without sticking 1.5v and dropping it to 2.4ghz!
Damn you Core 0 you little *******!!!!!!!!!
