[Nights Dawn]

Hi there, short term lurker and my first post - I got a CAB2E 0540 FPMW the other day, and I am extremely dissapointed :(

I am having to run it at 2475mhz at 1.55 volts currently - anything higher clock wise and it fails all of my stress tests, within 6 seconds. Even with 1.6volts and slightly higher - 2700mhz on 1.65v is a no go. Super pi fails doing the 128k calculation never mind the 1m calculation.

Using an NF3 Ultra (Epox 9NDA3J) even back flashed to what is considered the best o/c BIOS of the April 2005 version.

I have an AKASA 460W Paxpower CPU,
XP-120 with L1A Panaflo fan
x800 xt pe

I think the CPU is just a really poor clocker, I have tried with the timings and ram dividers on the lowest they can go - but no luck. So far I have run about 10 hours of SP2004 and I think the clock speed I am at is stable now. Also the HTT is set at 3X (275HTT)

Temps under load are 47-49C :(

Nights Dawn is the 144 or 146 ?

Ahh yeah, it is the 144 version. Sorry forgot that, probably most important piece of info :)

[Kameleon]

Shame - this (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=49727) is the best my 144 CAB2E 0540 FPMW can do (prime/32M stable) so far, I've just started burning it in properly and it's responding very nicely ;)

Yeah was expecting a minimum of 2600mhz, and was hoping for 2800mhz ideally, not to worry - I'll have to save up now for a new motherboard and power supply

[ArcTan]

looks like the 146 does better than the 144 for the CAB2E 0540 chips

[AgentVX]

Exactly what I was thinking. Good thing we got/are getting 146s :D
I was reading through the Opteron thread @ OCUK forums and their CAB2E 144s weren't doing very well either.

[G4h4o8s6T]

Just got my 146, ordered it yesterday from newegg (3day shipping) and it came today :) ......Its a CABYE 0540FPMW :woot: Im gonna see what it can do with my Gigabyte board, valueram and stock cooler..........2x1gb OCZ EL Plat. and XP90c w/Panaflow are on the way, possibly DFI Ultra-d if my current board doesnt cut it :D I work all day tomorrow, so Im gonna have to wait till sunday to pop it in.......Ill let you know how it goes

[manomanx2]

A lot of your guys' posts don't mention what kind of cooling you have. It's pretty confusing to figure out by looking at past posts.

Also, what speeds are you guys getting using just stock cooling?

Where are you order this cpu? Because there is CABYE 0540 APMW at trend4pc.de, but no fpmw

Do you know if this stepp is good? CABYE 0540 APMW

[SPivX]

i ordered the last 2 from informatique.nl. they're gone now :-) i think they'll be available again shortly.

dunno about 0540 APMW though.... all CABYE 0540 OC very well. maybe the experts?

[tatts]

low batch numbers dont mean good clockers.
someone on another forum has 4 146 cabye's and said his 0500 is the best clocker.
ive got 2 cabye 0540fpbw, batch 0169 does 2.85ghz 1.5V & 3ghz 1.6V but the 0564 does 2.9ghz on stock volts & 3ghz 1.45V (all prime stable)
from what ive seen on various forums, the fpbw seems to need less volts than fpmw (both easily hitting 3ghz tho) & ive seen a few fpaw struggling for 3ghz

Sounds like the memory controller just cannot handle it. That happens - just because it can do 280 at a lower clock speed doesn't mean it can do 280 1:1.

This opty is better one out of the two i got batches are 0170,0180 of course 0170 is a better clocker :)

@politenessman

Vcore=1.744v ?? :eek:

What are the temps and how are you cooling it?

[politenessman]

i mentioned in my post, the newest version of cpuid is reporting my vcore wrong. my vcore is around 1.67. but i did run a 146 cabge at that vcore(around 1.78v) for a week or so with no probs. i am using xp90 with a panaflo. ambient is around 22C, idle is 33C, load is 53C.
so 3ghz is do-able with a 144 cab2e, on air.

Check the interval when erading the graph from OCCT, it can be only 0.1V drop on load, which IMO is very good already.

Don't be fooled by the line, check the interval first.

Batch 0166

Still working on getting this one tuned in but so far completed OCCT @ 2800 (10 x 280 1:1) with 1.32v.

Question I have is that the CPU seems to be running hot at 47C max during test. According to Central Brain Identifier Max T Case is 63C with a Thermal Offset of 12C. This compares to my old 3700 Sandy at 59C T Case and a 3C Offset.

Would this explain the high temps and if so how should I account for the 12C offset?

Sounds like the memory controller just cannot handle it. That happens - just because it can do 280 at a lower clock speed doesn't mean it can do 280 1:1.

Are new chips really falling over at this low MHz 1:1? I know there's something in my system that's not letting me run 166 divider on my CAB2E (that would mean 2.5-3-3 ~250 on TCCD, which is fine) but is fine with 133 (2-2-2 ~200) - could it really be the chip?

[skogkatt]

Reached 3000, nothing exceptionnal for this stepping, but it's the first time for me in the AMD world.

I ran Prime 10 hours last night at 296*10 (same vcore)

RAM timings are pretty relaxed (running 166 divider); I'll try to run 200 or 180 when the CPU has reached its limits.

Those opterons have an unusual behavior: Usually when I need to bump the Vcore I know the chip limit is 200-300 mhz higher. Here I had to raise from default Vcore at 2700 (And thought it would be difficult to reach 3000 with "raisonable" voltages), but it's still going! Very impressive chips indeed.

Very Nice Tatts, but Only SuperPi. Prime is the only stability test that counts.
The Rest is only for Benching good.

lower batch number does not guaranteed better overclock, few weeks ago I bought three 148 cabne 0528 but the one with highest batch clocked higher, required less vcore, and with MaxTcase of 67'C instead of 63'C like the rest of the lower batch.

do you believe in MaxTcase? There are Opteron's with MaxTcase 55 that do 3000+ on air / water... My two 146 CABYE 0540 FPMW with batch 0001 and 0230 will come in monday or tuesday. I'll let you know!

thanks, i run it for 5 hours earlier and no errors so gonna try pushing it to its limits before finding a 24/7 stable clock :D


Which are the best Opteron 148 steppings until now?
i wouldnt bother, my 146 & 148 are exact steppings & week but the 146 is on 3.2ghz and the 148 scrapped 3ghz


i'm curious if low batch number means good overclocking. Is there some kind of online database with batch numbers and OC's?
nope, the batch with 0500 seems to be the best from what ive seen

[tatts]

yes, the 146 0540 will hit 3ghz no problem were the 144 0536 will be around 2.8ghz

but higher isn't better either. i'm the owner of a CABNE 0530APMW #0001. it does 2.9ghz with 1.425v, not the best, but also definitly not bad ;)

Ok.
Did you try to measure max. T-case and thermal offset with CBI or another program - I don't remember the name?

Maybe it has to do with the core/IHS.

Stock voltage (1.40v in bios) got it upto 2800MHz stable.
1.425 2850MHz stable
1.475 2900MHz stable
1.525 2950MHz looks stable but i'm still testing.
I'm pleased with it so far, snagged it when it was $159USD ;)
My goal as many others is 3Ghz which i think will happen with more testing and tuning.

If you get a CABYE or CABNE I can almost gaurantee 2.7-2.8 with stock voltage. This is by far the most stable ive had. The better silicon quality really makes these opterons so worthy of overclocking.

Well Kohan got his 146 today. went over to his house and clocked it up on stock cooling.

It did 2.9ghz with 1.45volts in bios which relates to 1.4 in windows. At 1.375 (windows) it is stable up to 2.85ghz

the stepping is 0540 CABYE.. which as most of you have said are the golden chips and this one didnt disapoint.

btw this was all done on stock cooling and thermal pad. I imagine with some better cooling it will do 3ghz stable with 1.45volts.. MAYBE will need 1.5-1.55 for 3ghz.. Either way its one hell of a chip..

for reference, chip was had at monarch on thursday via retail box.

I will be getting my 146 from monarch tommorow, baring FedEx continuing to be a-holes.

im getting 146 0540 from tankguys tomoro ... fedex as well.. :) ... now i dunno whether to keep my 165 @2.7Ghz... or use the 146 @ 3Ghz... :rolleyes:

[MaxxxRacer]

for most things the 165 would be better.. for 3dmark and super pi the 146 would be better. so i guess it maters waht ur doing.

soon enough everythign will be multi-threaded atleast to some extent and it wont be a contest.. but for now its highly application dependant.

Im also expieriencing the same problem, my CABYE 0540FPMW batch 0092 can do 2.7ghz @1.4v (OCCT/P95 stable) but no matter what voltage I use for 2.8ghz+ its totally unstable. Also OCCT is reporting my 5v rail all over the place.......would this also cause instability?? So Im hoping its either my board, PSU or runnning such a high divider.........anyone else think so as well?? Its either that or I have the worst clocking FPMW around :stick:

check out my 5v rail.........

That 5V line is really bad u need to replace ur PSU :eek:

Yeah but is there any other way I can test it, in case OCCT is reporting it wrong........cause all my other rails are solid. By the way, im using a SeaSonic 400w SS......thanks for any help :D

[dnottis]

I cannot get my 540 FPAW stable at 3Ghz, 2.9-2.95 looking to be tops on air.

[Shark-357]

@G4h4o8s6T

Its very weird coz i doubt ur PC would work if 5V rail would be that low :nono:

[TEDY]

geeze man seasonic psu i mean come on ROFL :)

[G4h4o8s6T]

Shark......Yeah I was thinking the same thing, still could be my board or running the high divider with my VR


geeze man seasonic psu i mean come on ROFL :)

Yeah I know its not the best psu out there, but it really isnt that bad...... ;)

[TEDY]

yes it's bad you prooved it ;) no offense change PSU :D

And a real OC'ing board would help, sell the giga to someone you dont like :)

[geto]

hah That's funny

[G4h4o8s6T]

Yeah I was planning on getting rid of the board, and my 6600GTs.........get an Ultra-D/7800GT, I just wanted to see what it could do with what I have first :) Also, like Shark sugessted........my computer probably wouldnt work if my 5v rail was dropping under 2v, so its possible OCCT is reporting it wrong and my psu is ok.

Use a DM to measure the rails under load.

G4h4o8s6T use a multi meter to measure the 5 volt rail.. the sensors on the mobo are more than useles..

Got both in this afternoon.
Both are CABYE 0540 FPMW. One is for me, the other one for somebody else.

Running Prime now for about 2 hours at 3Ghz, 1.456V, watercooled.
Not bad for a start. More testing in the next coming days.

[NYCTeeN82]

The mobo itself could be going crazy and reading 5V wrong. I swear when something's not right, you start replacing your parts to see who/what was the culprit. As soon as I replace everything, I end up spending more and more money right after. A computer is like an endless pit. (Mostly because how fast technology is getting outdated)

Got a CABYE 148 0540 FPBW & DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-DR today from Newegg. OCCT passed 2860 @ 1.36V (max temp 43). Will keep pushing.

Anyone know the solution to my CPU-Z throwing up a message that many of the information will not be available? I have to close and restart it and then it shows everything.

Also when I start MaxTCase, in the "maxtcase" field it says "could not locate the on-die memory controller". Anyone know the solution to this?

Question to you opteron overclockers. sorry if it is a dumb question but ive been very interested in this boom of opteron overclocking. If i were to overclock one of these to say 2.8ghz (fx-57), would it technically game like a fx-57 or would it be different in any way? I would only buy one if i knew that it would game according to its clock speed. Thanks very much

Wasn't completely stable at 1.456V though.

OK...so what would you like to see to prove to you that not every CAB2E is capable of no more than 2.8, or whatever ridiculous statement you made? I've got time, it's just a matter of running the benchmarks. I said I knew it hadn't been going long, that's because I was using my idle CPU cycles for something useful before I saw your post :rolleyes:

3DMark loops? Super-pi 32M? Prime (though prime is what sp2004 runs, so it'll be just as stable)? You name it, this chip is stable like this (317x9 @ 1.55v).

[tatts]

first off, the guy said any 144 cab2e can hit 2.8ghz stable which is bs, ive seen alot stop at 2.6ghz and not many go past 2.8ghz stable (read before retaliating) :rolleyes:
stable imo is prime95 or sp2004 for 8hours+

This must be one of the most poulair threads of all time, don't you think? :)
Nothing unofficial about that.

Nice CPU you got there, mine's priming away at 3GHz now at 1.4V for over 3 and a half hours now, not bad.

Do you have your heatercore installed already?

Thx.
You have a nice one too, congrats.


Heatercore will be installed within the next days. Will be on my P4 630 @ 4.2Ghz. Picking up my Nexxxos block (S775) tomorrow.

Hey guys, just got my hands on a 146 CABYE 0540 FPMW from ZZF.

Where does the batch number come from? Which line?

Bottom line, last 4 digits.

Just got my Opteron 146 CABYE 0540FPAW batch 0062 from ZZF.

This is just a start but with my cooling don't know how much further I want to go. I will burn in overnight.

Nice going Jupiler... I think you don't regret ordering them? ;)

Absolutely not.
Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have found any. :up:
I owe you one. :toast:

[kakaroto]

Hee jupiler, what are your load temps during Prime95? And what components do you use for your watercooling? (rad, block etc)

[Garrett]

Absolutely not.

Hmm... you owe me one? LOL
Send your best clocking cpu to me ;)

I just can't superpi @ 3.2ghz..... 3190 max... ;)

Gotta crawl out of the Speak Freely every once in a while. I do like this chip, it's not going to bust any WR, but it's pretty decent. It's a CABYE 0528GPMW BTW.

Thats great to hear,I picked up the exact same chip.

[Jupiler]

Hee jupiler, what are your load temps during Prime95? And what components do you use for your watercooling? (rad, block etc)

Load temps are around 44-45°C.
Cooling :
Alphacool Nexxxos XP Bold,
Alphacool GP2X-A (ATI card),
HTF2-X dual radiator with 2*120 Revoltec blue fans,
Laing DDC Pro pump
Tygon 10/8mm tubing.

I think the IHS isn't seated that good, but I don't think I will take it off right now.

[Wiker]

How much higher Will these 146 CABYE 0540´s go with a temp of -20 C ?
I am have a offer to buy a prometeia mach II for 250 $.
Do you think 3,5 ghz is possible?

[Eagleclaw]

My load temps after a few hours of SP2004 are getting close to 60c

This is to hot isn't it?

It sure is bothering me even though it seems stable.

Thanks, OK I know it now. My single HWlabs Extreme isn't enough to support 7800GTX and this opteron. :p: My load is 51-52C at 1.48v. ...

here my new Opteron 144 Tray CABYE 0542 FPMW:

http://mitglied.lycos.de/meinnamegehtnicht/144er%20Opteron/2847%201.55v%20primelarge.JPG

tested with Abit AN8 Ultra and Thermaltake Sonic Tower.

[NYCTeeN82]

So far it seems that 0540's are different, from worse to best:

CABYE 0540 FPAW
CABYE 0540 FPMW
CABYE 0540 FPBW

If anyone is interested, I got a 148 CABYE 0540 FPBW overnighted yesterday from Newegg. Their prices are decent too.

Mines doing 3003 @ 1.45V, it's a CABYE 0540 FPBW. Prime stable for 6+ hours so far. :banana:

[Eagleclaw]

I know a few others with CABYE 0540 FPAW that are doing 3Ghz stable. I think mine can but not with my cooling but yes your list looks pretty close to what I've been seeing.
