My new babe Opteron 165

[Bazikstano]

Hi people Ive just received my new Opty 165 directerily from USA,

CCBE 0616 XPMW

Ive seen it on internet hitting 2.8...but you know I would like to brake the barrier of the 3.0 (reach it)

Wow!! Just seeing a Opteron CBBE 0616 XPMW@3110 mhz without IHS....but wich IHS how much would it oc?

And really deservs it to take the risk? How much temp difference?

PS: Post nº 165 xD

I've got my CCBBE 0616XPMW up to 3ghz dual Prime stable with water. I've not really had time to test further, as something happened to the Ultra-D I was using, so now I'm getting used to the CFX3200 that I got to replace it.

[[XC] Teroedni]

Just got an CBBE 0616 XPMV myself
It clock as easy as the E6 version of the semprons:toast:


Im currently at 2,6ghz cause my ram cant handle more(Twinmos pc 2700:stick: ), and im only on the stock cooler .

Im seriosly comnsider changing the ram and going water. So much great potential:D

[WannaGoFast]

What do you think?

I think you should put it in and see how it does. :D

I have 2 CCBBE 0616 XPMW's. One does 2.8-2.9, but takes a lot of volts to get there.
The other I am currently testing at 2.9GHz at default voltages on a A8N32 with a Vigor
Monsoon II TEC cooler. Looks like this one may be the 3GHz beauty I was looking for.
Both still have their IHS's on.

what temps are you getting with the peltier at idle and load?
you really should take the IHS off to get the most out of the peltier ;)
my opty CCBBE 0617FPWM is DualPrime Stable at 3150MHz 1.55v

FYI memory is very important when it comes to overclocking your CPU. IF you got :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty RAM your CPU will be limited, they both depend on eachother.

Core Temp says around 20c idle.....40c load at 2.9Ghz testing.
This is also on a CPU that was mounted about 2 hrs ago.
So I would expect that to drop a bit as the AS5 cures up.

If you saw what a clumsy monstrosity this cooler is to mount, you
would understand why I will not be taking off the IHS just yet. ;)

I will save the IHS removal for the CPU I intend to keep and the
arrival of the watercooling setup I intend to get in the near future.

I have a 165 CCBBE 0617 FPMW and at stock volts I get 2.81GHz. Heat became my enemy and I can't get any higher right now (running a zalman CNPS9500).

I got a 10+ degree C drop in core temps after removing my IHS. If you have a properly mounted IHS the difference won't be nearly as big. Try with IHS first, if temps are really high then if you feel like risking it take off the IHS. What clued me in that I had a bad IHS mount was there was good contact between the IHS and the heatsink but the core temps were in the mid 50's at STOCK speeds. I'm not running about those temps now with it at 2.81GHz.

Water is coming, but I'm strapped for cash for awhile. I don't doubt this chip can go higher but without better cooling I can't go any higher. I also have some not-so-good G.Skill RAM (got the bad overclocking batch) so that will most likely limit me as well but hopefully I can tweak the timings and dividers to keep it from causing too much trouble.

That chip is an overclocking king.. here is a screenie of mine, same stepping as yours..

[Sparky]

why is your HT so low? I know the nForce 4 chipset has issues with HT much above 1GHz but setting the HT multi to 3X will net you 1050MHz which should be fine :)

Is that on water?

I like my ATI 3200 chipset on my asus, HT good up to 1500MHz :D

set 1/2 divider on memory, and nothing can stop your CPU. Unless you have really bad motherboard/psu or extra curve hands.

[Repoman]

2850@stock here on water... 36-38C load

[hot_fifty]

with that temp why not go for 3GHz or more, everything under 50 load is OK

[Bazikstano]

Wow!! It seems to be that Im going to get a lot of mhz...but right now im using a 4.3gb hdd (5400rpm) and it sucks...xD

Greetigns from Chile
PS: tomorrow Im travelling to germany so I gonna be offline!!! And no oc for a long time =( I bought the processor now, cause in febraury (when I come back) I wouldnt be able to get a new one..(amd cuts the production, you know)

[xforce]

hello bazikstano, where did you purchase your opty 165 from ??

:slobber:

[likewhoa]

xforce buy from newegg they seem to be pushing good steppings now.

[Bazikstano]

Desde el huevo nuevo. From the New egg

[macaddict]

Just got my 0616 XPMW Opty from the Egg along with an Antec 650 Trio and DFI NF4 SLI Expert :-) ATM I'm running 9x325 which yields 2930Mhz with a Big Typhoon, full load of Orthos is around 49C on both cores *grin* I'm loving it! What an outstanding chip.

[learners permit]

IHS removal yielded 12C temp drop on the hotter running core 1 and stabilized prime for me. Core temp on core 1 full load orthos was 64 now 52 and prime stable with 4 modules at 311X9 1:1. Long live Opteron.

thanks for the tipoff dude :D

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I've got my CCBBE 0616XPMW Prime and Folding@Home stable @ 3060 on water. I'm pretty sure that my DFI CFX-3200 is somehow holding it back, because I can prime at 2950 w/ 1.45v, but 3060 takes 1.54v.

[big poppa pump]

I have 2 opty 165 - 0610DPMW and 0615EPMW and I am running both of them @ 335*9 @ 1.52V. I have removed the IHS from both of them. The 0610 is water cooled and idle/load is 28C/35C. The 0615 is air cooled by a Big Typhoon and idle load is 26C/35-37C. I am able to get the 0615 all the way to 3.25Ghz but I gotta give it 1.6V (prime stable for 12 hours). IMO, its just not worth giving that much voltage to squeeze a wee bit more performance from this chip.

[learners permit]

Any idea how long a 165 will last under 1.55 volts? Maybe I should grab another core just in case?

[acrobuddy]

311x9 at 1.55v? wow! what stepping is that? i have 323x9 (2.9Ghz) at 1.45v and can do 311x9 (2.8Ghz) on stock volts!

:toast: Ram won't limit you if you run it really slow :p:

[jiff]

Just got me a toledo x2 3800 3d/prime stable 2900 (10x290) with 1.39 volts, havent had time to tweak yet. sry had stepping written down, the wife binned the paper:slapass:

[Asazman]

nice results! congrats :clap:

[Bazikstano]

Well Im in germany now, so I cant oc more, but reached 2.9@1.5

[buttmud]

311x9 at 1.55v? wow! what stepping is that? i have 323x9 (2.9Ghz) at 1.45v and can do 311x9 (2.8Ghz) on stock volts!

i could clock to 2.8 GHz on stock voltage and 2.9 GHz on just a wee bit more. but when i hit 3 GHz on my opty CCBBE0616XPMW i had to put it at 1.5v w/ the IHS removed. 1.58v w/ the IHS on....

i've been running @ 3 GHz for about a month, i'm going to see if i can jack it any higher w/ current voltage this weekend.

[acrobuddy]

Thats good, most Opty's seem to get 3ghz at ~1.55v so 1.5v is nice, wish mine could do that!

[_33]

Are you guys running the 165 naked and stock HSF to get 3 ghz?

[acrobuddy]

naked helps... i dont think stock HSF would work... I don't think any air cooling could make 3ghz stable

[acrobuddy]

comparing a higher stock clock AM2 to a low stock clock 939? 3 ghz on a 165 is a 1.2ghz OC roughly 66% OC, a bit more than the 3ghz which was 2.6ghz stock, so a 400mhz OC roughly 15% OC... tad bit different, eh?

[Bazikstano]

Im running with the HSF

[big poppa pump]

eh......look at my earlier post!

[[XC] Teroedni]

Well im currently at 2,6ghz crunching Wcg and the stock heatsink gets too warm . So i left overclocking there, and will crank it higher when i get my New Air Cooler.

[Serge84]

Any idea how long a 165 will last under 1.55 volts? Maybe I should grab another core just in case?

It takes 1.7v for a cpu to die in about one or 2 years. 1.55v is the max that most go for because it will hardly hurt its lifespan as long as its cooled well on air. if you have water and are getting 30 or 40C then nothing will hurt it up to 1.65v. But we are talking about server class processors so I seriously dou't 1.7v will do anything to it for about 4 years as long as your temps are good.

[learners permit]

Thanks. Mobo sensor reports 30C idle 40 load. Core temp reports 40c idle 52 load. Sounds like I'm ok then. To bad more volts won't take it higher.:mad:

Hola!

Justo me compre uno con tu mismo stepping y lo tengo a 3006 mhz @ 1.525 volts con mi DFI expert.

Impresionantes!! estos cpus son muy buenos, espero que puedas llegar a 3.0!! Congratulations!! enjoy your new opty!! :toast:

Well i got The Opteron 165 to 2,7 ghz but not any more:mad:

This is with Vcore at 1,45 and my puny Twinmos pc27002,5 3 3 7 at 3volts:p:
Its probably the ram that keeps the Opteron from going higher.
But i think i will left it there as it work fine and crunchs with great speed:)
And with The Scythe Infinity it keeps cold as well:D

CCBBE 0617FPMW was the best of all 939 opterons...
Mine can do
2750 @ 1.20Vcore
2850 @ 1.25Vcore
3000 @ 1.31Vcore
3200 @ 1.51Vcore :D

I noticed you used small FFTs in ORTHOS, you better try Blend test as well. My opty 165 could pass samll FFT but failed Blend and superPI 32M. (even my ram were in very low setting):slapass:

heres what i can do on air. i can do 3ghz, but she gets a little to warm for air. need H2O ;)

what are your tempids?

[Burnt_Ram]

what are your tempids? anywhere from 40-42c on load. this chip run's cool. the last 165 i had ran 40c idle at stock, LOL

[Veedo]

where are you guys getting these chips at? i hate to throw this off topic, but im looking to pic up a dual core opty, and the eggs got the 165 for about $150. thanks
