My 146 CABYE 0540 FPAW @ 1.6 V, 2x 512 MB Geil One BH @ 3.6 V.



Martin, you may have mentioned this before but what batch is you FPAW, plus BIOS running in the DR?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply there Martin. Cheers

Any Results of an CABYE 0542FPMW kown in the whole world?

[alpha0ne]

Hehe let me know if you find any, I just recieved an 146 CABYE 0543FPMW :) :woot:

[Rufus7]

A friend has an CABYE 0542FPMW bought yesterday he asks for known Results.

A friend has an CABYE 0542FPMW bought yesterday he asks for known Results.

Check here (http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showthread.php?t=935362). Only one reported so far: 14h of prime @ 2847, 1.55V

Another one here (http://happy.ap.teacup.com/maiko2/47.html#readmore). ;)

A friend has an CABYE 0542FPMW bought yesterday he asks for known Results.
yes i got one yesterday, didnt test mine properly as it struggles getting 3ghz stable, think there more 2.8-2.9ghz :(

[KenRico]

Be sure to let us know. I want to get nearly that exact same configuration in the future.

with CABGE 0536 am only up to FX55 speed. The only thing making a difference with speed is vCORE, period..ended up putting mem timings back to SPD raised HT back up to 5, ect.

at 265 cpu setting cannot get sPI32M stable...270 and above is windows corrupt.

System as stands is BIOSTAR Tforce6100-939, 146, pair of 512MB SuperTalent CS2, WD2500KS, XFX 6800GS, Aspire X-Qpack...budget oc all the way.
Went with Thermaltake Big Water SE instead of Zalman...it did 36-38c with prime 95 a few hours.

So should I keep it as is? This forum reports CABGE 0536 is 2700/2800ish and mainboard is reported as max 272 cpu setting stable from review site. I think to go on is to RAISE Voltage even more...1.65v bios setting shows 1.54 in CPU-z after boot - next jump is 1.75, 1.85v ect. - Have room on temps but is big voltage jumps.

Any ideas??

I just removed one on my 146 CABYE 0536GPMW. Load temps of 53C on Water with a Swiftech Storm had me pissed so off it came.

Load temps dropped 14C to 39C with 1.55v @ 2800MHz.

Be very carefull using the razor blade. I found it much easier to slide the razor blade under the IHS at a corner, more like just pushing it under the IHS. But take care not to slide blade in to far. There are some circuits in there that can be damaged. Just take a look at one some has posted with the IHS off and you will see what I mean.

I'm sure someone else has posted this in this thread before but here it is again. A short movie on the removal. This fella used a razor and a screw driver to pry the IHS off. I didn't like the idea of twisting a blade under the IHS so I just used the razor to cut the sealing material but either will work.

IHS Removal (http://www.desertshooter.nl/IHS2.wmv)

Good luck!

Yesterday I removed my 148's IHS and reduced temps in about 10C! I was refusing to do that but reading your post I said, enough to that stupid heat. Now at 1.5V my temps are around 55C full load with an XP-120 and low RPMs :D

[Rufus7]

Thx before and tatts. And my 1700536MPMW struggled tonight with one Core at 2600Mhz and 1,36Vc after 3h42min by Prime 24.24 Custom. The Second core did it the whole night through. Thats not good news for me.

[tatts]

rufus, i tried again with my 0542fpmw today & does 2.9ghz occt stable with 1.55V but doesnt like 3ghz, even with 1.65V which is abit high imo, never tested anything between 2.9 & 3ghz though so dont know the max.
but im not to bothered as my cab2e 146 is looking very good :D

Thanks. Looks like it came off so clean. The black stuff still looks pristine. What's your techinique?


tis one came off easier than any one I have ever done. i juse use a ultra thin double sided rasor blade and start at a corner and slice evenly all the way around and then once more all the way around to be sure it's free. then use the tip of an exacto blade to gently pry one corner up. took about 2 minutes. the key is using a new sharp blade on each side if necessary.

An Excellent result there loc.o :woot:

Have tried the Multi Processor HAL but made no difference for me ... have now seen other FPAWs running DDR600 so must be this particualr IMC or MB combination .. going to move Chip to another MB just to see if this is the case.

When you guys remove the IHS, Do you make some shims like the XP cpu's?(The round rubber thingies)

I am kinda afraid i'll crush my core when I tighten my WC block.
Btw: Is the AMD64 Core easier crusable then a AXP core ??

Going to try it anyway, 10-12°C is huge and since my eheim pump 1048 is too weak for my WC loop i'll give it a try.

Hi everyone, Got my MACH II today but I didn´t recieve the DFI lanparty SLI-DR.
How low temps can the 146 CABYE 0540 handle before it coldbugs?`
Will -40C be a problem or just good? :)
hoping to reach 3500mhz on monday!

i heard the coldbug starts @ -20 which is why i went for WC and passed on the vapochill ;)

[dinos22]

i heard the coldbug starts @ -20 which is why i went for WC and passed on the vapochill ;)
every CPU is different.............some go up to -90C

[Wiker]

yeah ok, so the MACH II isn´t necessary a good investment? Hope it doesn´t bugs out before -50C

[tatts]

it is a good investment but depends if youre lucky with the cpu, most people i spoke to said theres started @ -20C and knowing my luck id have the same problem and dont fancy putting high volts through to try and raise temps, the only way youll know is by trying it, you may have a better cpu?

[Wiker]

So, i can´t just adjust the MACH II to a temperature about 0C so it doesn´t cold bug`?

Mine seemed to work just fine. I made sure that I didn't tighten my waterblock to tight. Now that the AS5 has settled in my temps are slightly lower. Right now Room temp is 20C and load temp on water is 34C @ 2.8GHz CABYE 0536 1.55v

Then i installed a fresh windows. Now when i started a web browser AN INSTANT REBOOT. It does this with IE and Mozilla Firefox. I have tried 623-3 and 7xx bioses and its no go :(

[pershoot]

i popped in the opty 150. cant pass prime after ~2.7GHZ. same deal with my SD core. SPI32M passes well after that. i will try this LAN port thang, as well as disabling everything and trying again.

you guys think i should raise my +12 rail? doesn't appear low, but two cpu's, similar 'prime95' limit. doesn't make any sense.

also noticed that dual channel with my classic BH5 is iffy. will get no boot when both sticks in initially (after CCMOS clear, etc.). the only way i can do it is if i pop one stick in top orange, boot up, shutdown, stick the second stick in lower orange, and then itll boot up.

similar deal with the UTT BH.

the CH5 doesnt appear to exhibit this issue.

tested on fxtest60. things appear slightly better on 704-2bt, but it is still there (the 'wierdness').

any thoughts?

This cpu should prime at 1.6v@3000Mhz, but guess what happened when I tried that?. 34C idle, fired up Prime then after 1 sec. 44C, after 2 sec. 54C (I thought this ain't good), after 3 sec. 61C :shocked: and then after every 2 sec. it went 1C up until 65C and then I stopped Priming.

So now I run 2.9Ghz at 1.392v, btw my CABYE 0536GPMW ran at avg. 10C cooler at same speeds with same setup. No worry though, Big Typhoon + 151cfm delta is coming soon ;)

yea.. same deal.

what do you guys think...Ultra D or save up for A8N32-SLI ?

I can buy any mb I want but I just bought another Ultra-d. They clock high HTT and the bios is very mature. The last 2 U-D's have both clocked 380+HTT with an 8x.

I used Abit for as long time. Since the Intel Celery 300 that overclocked to 500.... rememver them suckers.. I changed this year to DFI NF4 Ultra D just because of the hype..... I will never go back... Get the DFI
Best mobo I ever had and all of them where Abit and a few Asus. I also built a lot of machine using MSI and other..

So, i can´t just adjust the MACH II to a temperature about 0C so it doesn´t cold bug`?

You crazy?!? :slap: Sell that cpu till you find one that boots.

You better do some reading before you hook that thing up. The last thing you want is to fry your new system. Good luck.



Has anyone been buying any 150s from anywhere in the US? I'm looking to get one from the egg.. guessing they still might be old since not a lot of people are buying them and they are a little overprice compared to other retailers.

alright guys ive been checking out ebay...which one of these would be the best for my money: all 146s

CABYE 0536 GPMW
CAB2E 0540FPMW
CABYE 0540FPBW

or would i just be better off getting a retail 148 from newegg?

CABYE 0540 FPBW....would be your best bet...



and i just ordered an Ultra-D...i'll get the Asus when they go over to m2...yay..i now for everything else...it will be awhile.

I would say CABYE 0540FPBW. If its too much over retail.. I would try from newegg. I just ordered a 150 from them. Hope they have some old stock!

[MaxxxRacer]

my current philosophy on the IHS.. is 100mhz (max) worth the posibility of killing your cpu? is it really? will you be going for a WR with this cpu? No?? then why the 100mhz..

And in my experience I gained 0mhz from popping the IHS and in one case ended up with a cpu that was doa after ihs removal. the other one that gained no mhz died within a few months after ish removal..

so is it really worth it.. no...

thats why my 146 taht does 2.9ghz will be staying with its IHS firmly planted on the core for as long as it shall live.

New Opty 144 stepping - CABNE 0544 EPMW

Anyone have any results for this stepping?

It's a CABNE but the week and letters are relatively unknown.


He EPMW was earlier one of the best overclockersteppings.
I know an 3700SD who has the Stepping 0508EPMW and it runs 3230Mhz at 1,56VC Primestable. Owner is Stonka on HWLXX.

Here´s a Link to the Thread:

EPMW was earlier one of the best overclockersteppings.Those letters are nothing but dates and wafer sequence numbers - comparable only within the same date. They have no relevance when comparing procs with different dates.

See last page.

[Rufus7]

Yes you have right nothig is comparable. Only same Productionweek and SN.
And even then is a lucky thing to get an good CPU.
HS is very important for clocking. Best CPUs have almost bad HS´s.
But EPMW where in the Past FX Steppings and APMW and GPMW and MPMW etc.

CABYE0540FPBW is the best choice if you don´t get an CABNE0530APMW.
Best Board is the DFI Lanparty SLI-DR or the UT-D if you don´t need SLI.
Bios is 623-3 good and the 704-2BTA it´s on your RAM Sticks you are Using what BIOS you have to use.

And i will never get an Chip like that, not so soon.
Maybe in the near future. But up to date i have not seen an chip like mine on Water.
And i can boot on 3,1Gig at 1,392Vc but its not Primestable.

Hmmm.. any particular reason I havn't been reading a lot about the 17x's? I'm looking at getting an AMD system and am just trying to do the last leg of research on whether to get a 170/175 or just jump to something else alltogether like a 144/146.

I like the idea of a dual core, but I can't find any benches or anything to compare the 170-series with other AMD (and, for a laugh, Intel) options. How do they rate in comparison to, say, the other contenders like the 4400+, X2 4400+, FX-57, etc. I would really appreciate any input or links anyone can dig up.

max occt stable, guild wars stable (if you've played the game you will know what i mean. i've had 8hour prime systems fail with guild wars)
3.1ghz, 4x512 tccd 2t. vcore 1.4

I agree, Guild wars replaced NFS underground as my stability test program : It fails within minutes while Prime can be stable 8+ hours. Definitely a good way to spare a lot of time...

[Captin Insano]

Here is my 146 CABYE on water cooling and a crummy ole MSI Neo2 plat. On my DFI SLI DR I know it will get better. Im pretty sure i can hit 3.1 to 3.2 and do it stable. This was all i could do for now. More to come!!!

[ic3m4n2005]

If you can use most wanted for stability than what happens to me ? I can game a few hours, never tested more :) but prime blend failes instantly with a reboot and/or bsod.

[SPivX]

i have a weird problem. i can run 300 x 9 at 1.3v with memory at 1:1. Also, i can run 290 x 10 at 1.344v (cpu-z) for some time, sometimes reboots (messing around with mem. timings should fix this). BUT, when i trie to boot up / prime at 280 x 10, my system boots to windows, then EITHER reboots instantly, OR primes for a couple of minutes, than reboots.

I'm using bios 623-3 and have all options set to defaults, except 2.5-4-3-7. Could Max. Async or Read Preamble settings cause this? (Because they're set to AUTO). Also, could it be that the DFI SLI-DR uses different settings for let's say 250-290FSB and 290+ when set to AUTO? Should i set them manually?

tnx!

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 :(

Peter

hmm I seem to be in the same boat with my 144 locks up @ 285 can run stable @ 280 ?? maybe

No, only a handful of small shops do this. I got my CABNE that way from compumusic.

Depending on where you are based and if you have the opportunity to travel... 146 week 0543 were in HKG as of 1 day ago... and you can see before you buy.

I called the same shop and they told me they only had one. I called 3 wks ago and had a CABYE 0540 reserved for me, but I gave it up... now I had to order it form Japan.
the AMD distributor is crap here (not the shop). the distributor didn't even know there was an dual core opty. sad.

Yes .. similar here with the AMD distributors not knowing about 939 Opteron, or maybe due to no demand.... hence I got my 2 CABYE 146 0540 from HKG about 4 weeks ago.

Do these things run ungodly hot, or is it just mine? On decent water, at 3GHz/1.55V my brand new CAB2E 0540 FPMW idles around 37C but load hits 60C. In the same rig, my 3200 Venice idles at 24C and maxes at 34C.

Hi Primoz

I am going to test the chip during the next few hours :)

BTW, CABYE 0540FPBW seem to be a little better than CABYE 0540APMW. Actually, it's difficult to conclude because of the small number of feedbacks concerning the CABYE 0540APMW, but CABYE 0540FPBW are doing high if not like good old CABNE 05~~ at least they exeeced 3GHz on a general basis.

I hope to post my results very soon ;)

Well, it's not a bad waterblock seating. Dropping to 2.9GHz/1.5V drops load temp to 50C. Still too high, but damn that's a huge temp differential.

What do you define as stable for the 300x9?

And memory that can do 300 MHz on one CPU might not do it on another. Did you try a divider?

[SPivX]

stable = 8h+ prime95 custom test w/ in-place FFT's changing every 15min.

There's something wrong here, i know my mem can do up to 310 1:1 (G.Skill PC4400LE TCCD).

run memtest86 test 5 and 8 with both (300 and 270). change your timings to 2.5-3-3-7@270mhz and drive strength options. Also do not increase your chipset voltage (LDT voltage) this can make your memory very unstable. Strange indeed. what is your vdimm? for 300 and 270?

Mine idles at 45c and loads at 56c without the IHS and with an aquagate mini.....not the best water cooling by far, but better than air no doubt. It used to get up to over 60c with the zalman 7700cu, but I would stop running it. This is at 3.0g with 1.5v.
I have reset the block and as5 several different times, but it is still a devilishly hot ass chip.

Nice Chip r2 and what are your Loadtemps on Air and your Ambient Temp?
Thanks :)

Ambient temp is app. 24-26c, have been having cold nights
Load Temp: At the clocks i posted it hits 39c running super_pi 32Mb, 40-41c Stresscpu and 42-43c running cpuburnK7. This is according to Probe 2 and Speedfan at stock vcore.

But i think the temp readings are wrong! Prob should add 8-15c...(assuming)

People have been reporting that their DFI Expert boards (In OCAU and i4memory forums) are also have wrong readings with Opterons, some say you should add 15-20c.

[SPivX]

run memtest86 test 5 and 8 with both (300 and 270). change your timings to 2.5-3-3-7@270mhz and drive strength options. Also do not increase your chipset voltage (LDT voltage) this can make your memory very unstable. Strange indeed. what is your vdimm? for 300 and 270?

i ran memtest86 yesterday, no errors. LDT & chipset voltage @ default. vDimm = 2.7v, any higher and memtest starts to give errors. Could my memory be broken? Or is undervolting (running 2700 @ 1.3v for a long time) damaging my cpu?

Will try 510-2FIX and 704-2BTA (Tony OCZ) tomorrow and see if this helps. The strangest of all is that these settings worked flawlessly, and now they don't :(

My dual-core Opti will be here tomorrow so I kicked the CABYE out and gave my CABNE another last spin.

Looks like this one is solid in the 3 GHz club. :toast: CABNE 148 0528GPMW.

This is 3000 MHz at 1.55 V, prime95 running for 24 hours at the time of this shot. Air cooling, Big Typhoon, SLI-DR, Geil One TCCD.

The BallistX har better, but for some reason I cant run then with a divider, so right now the OCZ are in my AMD rig, maxing out at 260 HTT.

what problems are you getting with ballistix/opteron and divider?

boot problems or just under stress/load kinda problems

Told you how hard OCCT is on your RAM/CPU!

Nice results mate, you seem to get the same temps in a 5C ambient as i get in a 20C ambient.

Good to see the extra dual rad helped a ton. :up:

3,1GHz is close to the max of my CPU for OCCT, not sure wheter the RAM or CPU is maxed out.

Zeus nice overclock but i was wondering what your watersetup looks like (components). Since you got great temps under 3ghz load.

Just received a Opteron 148 CABYE 0543 retail from Newegg tonight.
So far seems like a pretty good chip. I'll let it burn in a few days at 3GHz and try for more later.

Current OC 3000MHz, 300x10, 1.5v 100% stable
Max OC 3080MHz, 280x11, 1.6v, not 100% stable but 1M SuperPi of 27sec on loose timings

CPU Temps 100% load @ 3GHz 1.5v 40C, idle 29C watercooled ThermalTake Tai-Chi Case

TCaseMax 65C
TDP 67.6 Watts

I just got a 148 from NE last night. It was a 0540FPBW :woot: It's got a great memory controller. Memory isn't tweaked, just wanted to run the high HTT.

This is on a TT BT.

dogsx2, your always getting some of the sweetest cpu's. NE's out tonight. Is that on a 150 divider? My 146 is considerably slower with that one but works very well with 166. My highest HTT is below @166. Mem was 271, screen froze though after pi - (cold). Voltage is not as shown, actual is 1.61. http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/4810/p10304719th.th.jpg (http://img345.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p10304719th.jpg)

pretty good clocks there coop. I didn't read the 1.61 until after I looked at your ss. I thought WOW, that's the lowest volt for that MHz I've seen.LOL

It was with a 133 divider. The ram was 4000VX and I didn't want to change the jumper.
