The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

[Captin Insano]

I will just be happy in about a week and a half or less when i Finally can try my Opty 146 on something other then this MSI Neo2 Plat. New set up includes better PSU, dual 7800GTX's a DFI sli DR (proven to oc past 4ghz) some Phase and dryice cooling with some new mem and H20 cooling parts.. Im easily hitting stable right at 3.1 ghz with ease on current with only H20 cooling im sure with the better board and mem alone i will be able to get some bigger fsb.. Come on stuff get here!!! I wanna play some more..

I tried 3100mhz, but windows wouldn't hear of it. that was before burn in, though...

[dnottis]

Can we get some Prime95 screenshots to show true stability. Hell mine can Super PI 32M at 3000 Ghz too but it fails prime instantly.

[dogsx2]

It would be interesting to see how much priming the top dogs do, after all isn't that why we're here at XS, to learn and try to emulate the top oc'ers. :)

Stepping/vcore?

I have started tweaking a 146 CABYE 0540APMW and it was able to bench at 3103MHz @1.65V so far (with Hot CPU Tester Pro) ;)
CPU-Z screen: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=53777

Anyway I have some problems with my DFI, and windows does not want to load 6 times to 10 (giveio.sys fails to load) no matter the o/c is. So, I have changed the CPU to a 144 CABNE 0540BPMW to test it a little using the Ultimate Boot CD only (prime and memtest are included). First, it seems to o/c quite a lot with stock volts, but unfortunately over about 2600MHz, it requires the Vcore to be quickly increased... As for now, it remembers me the 144 CABNE 0540APMW... let's see!

I can give you some screenshots. I don't use prime but the chip I got last night has been folding 9hrs without any errors at 3GHz :p:

BTW the memory controller seems good to. Running my 148 CABYE 0543 300x10 1:1.

can thighten the ram a little bit to 2,5-3-3-7
but that was after this run
it can bench 1M at 3,033 mhz

Ive come to find that P95 isnt all its cracked up to be as a stabillity test. Ive had some A64/FX cpu's fail prime but run Games at full speed all day for 6 hrs strait. Do every bench in the world just fine never a hitch. Ive had them run mem test and do cpu burn in and OCCT and never a fail But fire up Prime 95 and whamo Fail!!!. I dont think its the OC or anything thats the issue. I say its prime95 that has the issue. So i dont trust it completly. If all the abouve isnt good enough for showing its stable then nothing is. Just my opinion.....

[kemist]

just got 148 CABYE 0542 FPMW, IIRC it did 2.9 with 1.55v 32m stable, right now its at 2850 1.55v 32m stable. Have another 148 coming soon, will probably keep whichever clocks better and ebay the other.

[RacerX]

Any word on the clocks with it yet?

With IHS intact 2.9 at 1.5v is Prime stable but thats about it. Its going up on ebay soon. I found removing the IHS lowers the temps but helps very little in gaining anything in regaurds to mhz with these Opterons, and yes I've removed 3 IHS with no sufficient improvement besides temps.

[GoThr3k]

for now its already primestable more then 1h @ 2.75GHz with stockcooler @ 1.45 Volts

After major difficulties to make the DFI booting, I am testing the 146 CABYE 0540APMW with Prime95 under dos (with UBCD as I have only plugged the CD drive).
As for now, it fails after 20mins @3000MHz with 1.52V (Not too bad...). Despite of the failure, it seems me possible to test it at an increased frequency. So, Prime95 has been running for 10mins at @3100 with 1.55V+110%
Let's see! :D

now @3100 with 1.55V+113%

Sure, that's too much for 3GHz; it was for 3.1GHz only ;) I will put it under waterchiller as soon as possible to see what it can really do.

Prime95 has ran during 2h18mins @3GHz with 1.55V. It's not really surprising since the cpu was able to take 3.1GHz @ 1.65V without being rock stable but enough to bench Hot CPU Tester.

ok so both processors =148 opteron
#1 = CABYE 0542 FPMW TCaseMax = 57 degrees
#2 = CAB2E 0545 CPBW TCaseMax = 57 degrees
Neither can do 3g at 1.55v.

#1 is good to at least 2.9, havent tested much
#2 seems good to at least 2950

#2= good to 2975; finishes spi32m and fear demo all the way through.

What is max volts these can run with good water cooling?

[Evil]

ganda resultado nocturno ;) .

so ??? DFI or ABIT anyone???


DFI of course.;) I have had some issues but nothing deadly.

[aMp]

Argh. This is killing me. So close....

0540 CAB2E FPMW...

2.95 @ 1.5v = rock solid, but load temps top 50C under moderately good H20.

3.00 @ 1.5v = fails Prime within a minute.

3.00 @ 1.6v = fails Prime within fifteen minutes, at ridiculous temps, like 62C.

I'm on the verge of popping the IHS, bring down those temps a few degrees, but I don't want to bother if it won't make a difference at 1.6v -- think bringing those temps down 5-10C (no IHS, maybe a new block...) could make it stable?

[GoThr3k]

looks like you got bad WC
62° Load??
does the block have good contact??
thermal paste??

[aMp]

Nah, my setup might not be the best but it's certainly respectable -- TDX, Eheim 1250, 2-199 core. I've got the block tightened down as far as it the springs allow, so there's some serious pressure on the core.

The thing is that this chip (apparently) responds very poorly to voltage bumps. At stock it loads in the high 30s, still 5C higher than my Venice at 2.6/1.52v. At 2.9/1.5v it loads at 52-53C. Another 100MHz and 0.1v, and we hit the low 60s.

Pretty big delta as well -- at 1.5v I'm seeing 37C idle, 52C load. By comparison my Venice idles at 24C, 33C load.

edit: Using AS5.

[tatts]

0540 CAB2E FPMW...
2.95 @ 1.5v = rock solid, but load temps top 50C under moderately good H20.

my 146 CAB2E was 52C load @ 3ghz, removed the ihs and it dropped to 38C load @ 3.1ghz. ive noticed a few with high temps on the CAB2E's for some reason & if you can, maybe remove the ihs ;)

figured it might be the instability caused by the jumper.

Guys could you help?

Any of you using phase change cooling?

When does the cold bug kick in on average with Opteron chips?

If any of you have found a work around for the Cold Bug with these chips and single stage please post.

Thanks

[Captin Insano]

Things you could try. get your voltages set to where you want them for your OC. Then be sure to have A64 tweaker and Clockgen allready downloaded on your rig and ready to run. I would also recomend a program that will put a lil load on the CPU when you fire it up. This will put some heat in the chip and help against cold bug.

So when you boot into windows run (i use Super PI 32meg) program for load. I would recomend doing this at about -24 to -25 celsius for boot up. Then using Clockgen change your values of FSBand Multi to where you want them for OC set in place and then tune your mem timmings with A64 Tweaker. if you prefer to do A64 tweaker first thats fine. Try that to see if that helps.

Ive had it up into the 300's, have you tried upping the board volts? I was asking mainly cuz i was wondering if the board could hold you back in general. In the anandtech reviews they make it seem like some of the boards allow higher overclocks than others all other things being equal. Basically im asking if anyone went from something like an epox or msi and saw better clocks and if thats common or not.

hi I'd like to know when AMD is going to start selling more opteron 939's BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL OUT OF STOCK EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!

[Rufus7]

Next Year in January perhaps Eduard.

[Theo404]

Certain places in the UK are getting new stock regularly, all they have to do is be creative with what they tell their supplier. The reason opteron stock has dried up is because AMD doesnt want people buying them over normal a64 chips, which is bound to happen as they cost the same as the low end chips but have double the cash. You wont be seeing many more retail packs, as server builders use OEM.

I wonder what you get when you RMA a Opteron...

it's prime stable at 2900mhz at 1.48vcore. I have not tried lower than that since I believe 1.48vcore is pretty safe for this processor. I'll do more testing once I get my gskill tccd 2x512mb and better thermal paste along with my videocard.

[yasoumalaka]

What is the max Vcore you can safely apply to these opterons? Mine will be here on WED. I'll start low, but I never get good chips so I always end up on the high end of the Vcore range.

Im on water.. but i messed up on the instllation.... I went from radiator to the outlet barb on my tdx.. so it's not cooling directly over the cpu. My waterblock basically isnt acclerating water through the jet nozzle.. the water is just going in on 1 side throught he channels and back out to the inlet of the TDX plus I have crappy china thermal paste.. I should have better results once my AS ceramique arrives.

Doing a 100% stable 3ghz at original Vcore but i cant even boot 3.2 ghz @ 1.6 vcore max stable is 3.3 ghz @ 1.72 vcore.
Isn´t this cpu most likely to overclock more? load temps at 1.72V is +3 C and
at original vcore -30C.
Doesn´t ever shows any errors in super pim raising 10 mhz makes the computer freeze instead of showing errors, so it is allways very stable or unbootable!

Well it could very possible be the PSU.
But many times when prime and OCCT errors out quickly, it's related to memory timings/settings.

[dnottis]

Well I have a 146 and 148, the 146 shows a higher MaxTCase (63deg c ) but the 148 (59 deg c) goes further so I dont think MaxTCase means anything.

The 146 also runs about 8 degrees hotter - using a Big Typhoon and looking for more than just Super PI1 M stability which BTW I can run 1M @ 3000 at 1.50v so thats pretty much useless for anything but a 1M run anyways. To get some real stability close to 3 Ghz I'm pumping her 1.64v. Like I said this chip runs really cool though.

Like Monge said you probably need to play with ram timings, maybe Max Async Latency and Read Preamble could help there.

Depends on how well you can OC and the individual chip

Well i need to test more before i can confirm its my tccd but its more likely ram setting or memcontroller.
I am still testing raw cpu speed and not so much ram/memcontroller.

Still my ramsticks are weird, I think one stick of ram doesn't like voltage above 2.6V and the other one needs more voltage to go higher. Still need to test them sepertly but from what i've seen in memtest i am quiet sure.
With my venice the maxed out at DDR620 3-4-3-7 @ 2.6V.

[kemist]

How good of an indicator is prime in real life usage as compared to say stability in spi32m and SnM? I have a proc that does ~2975 with 1.55v 32m stable, not sure about SnM. But it def does 2900 32m and SnM stable yet fails prime at 2900. To be fair though i think the prime issue may be related to memory/motherboard. Im using an epox 9nda3+ with gskill 2gb zx and i dont think the ram likes the motherboard. I really would like to know if anyone has played around with these processors on different mobos and seen large differences moving from one platform to another. At this point id like to say my mobo is the problem but i cant be sure.

I tried the 2nd beta bios at OCW and could get a little over 320HTT but had a cold boot issue wherein the HTT would not hold and kick back down on restart. Vcore had a nasty habit of resetting as well. Before I sold the Asrock I put the latest official bios on it and the HTT seemed to be capped at 272.

[EboNova]

Does my 144 0536 GPMW sucks? Can't get it prime stable over 2700 but it's 100 procent stable in games/windows and superpi @ 2843MHz. I guess my lack of cooling and contact between IHS and core may be a problem. Idle/Load temps are 36-38/55+ with a Thermaltake Venus 12. Have ordered a TT BT which should arrive til the weekend. My V-core is jumping from 1.55 to 1.62 all the time, not sure if my PSU give stable volts (Aspire 520W) Any suggestion how to get this a bit higher?

[kemist]

Ok, nm about the stability from A64 tweaker, after looking into it more it seems it doesnt change my ram settings at all. The extra stability came from switching to 2T so i could get into windows properly. This is really annoying, i think this chip/ram have a lot more in them if i got them on a good system. I'll see eventually i guess.

[ic3m4n2005]

Any Expert users with Opteron in here ? Want to know if there`s a better bios than defaultbios, e.g. 1117 or 1125. Anyone tried it and got better results ?

[szukalski]

Got a 146 CACJE 0546 BPMW yesterday, not the best of clockers but a good enough replacement for my 2.7GHz Venice.
2850MHz @ 1.595v , won't do 3GHz but I have a 148 coming that hopefully will.
First time I saw a CACJE though.. anyone else?

[largon]

szukalski,
Does your procs OPN end in DAA5BN... or perhaps DKA5CF?

[mascaras]

hi guys , my brother already make the VMODE in asrock 939 dual sata2 and now he can get 1.55vcore , the 144 CABGE with the stokcooler and 1.55v can hit the 2950mhz STABLE and 3000Mhz for the pic , and note that the pics its with the OC from the bios its not a pic making OC in clokgen cause there isnt any program to OC in windows for this board .

Here the pics:



2950@1.55v STOOKCOOLER STABLE >> http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/181/21hk.th.jpg (http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=21hk.jpg)

:) :)

i think if the board have 1.6 vcore i can get 3ghz stable cause he can hit the 2950mhz stable with 1.55v
And also a litle thing its that the CPU dont have 24hours yet , with time maybe can go farther :) .
And for now its all , next step its past the CPU for the tower with WC and see if we can get a better board with more vcore.

coop: Nice clock and what cooling do you use? Yes, I'm thankful for this cpu. Cooling, you've probably seen by now - in my sig I put a pic of it last night. Water with gallon milk jugs that are frozen. When the ice melts I can go get another one from the freezer. Return line runs into the top of the jug and it just flows into the cooler. Submerged pump. That is a 6002 clamped to my vid card. :eek:

Oh, got it from a reseller at ebay. Asked him where it came from he said:
couldn't really say. If you look at my "about me" page, it will
state that I'm generally clearing inventory for companies or
individuals who don't have resources to do so themselves. I've come
across some strange stuff: ancient Panasonic short wave radios not
sold in the open market since the 60's; large drives as big as a
phone with their own sound output controller; the original Intel 8086
"desktop" machines (I'd swear they were made out of recycled tank
parts) - even has a different Intel logo (slanted, Impact-type font,

Very curious now. If this is Venice as in 512MB cache, there may be a return in my future...I refered to the Venice just to point out that those new revision Venices are already out there. My point was that also the upcoming E6 Opterons (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=79592) will emerge soon(er or later). E6 Opteron will be an updated (into better or worse :confused: ) Venus core with 1MB L2 cache like E4 Venus. E6 San Diegos (closely related to E6 Venus) were already previewed (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=75571) on XS sometime ago.

But don't worry. Your Opteron is DAA5BN which means it's a current E4 Venus. :)

But nothing seems to be able to get it over the 3GHz mark. I've gone as high as 1.6v, removed the IHS, temps stay below 50C even at high volts -- nothing makes a damned difference. Never seen a MHz wall this sharp, or that kicked in at such a low voltage.

Guys I'm really confused and I have quite a few problems... bear with with me:

1) Neither CPU-Z nor Clockgen can read my memory clock when using the 140 divider... is this a bug? MemTest86 seems to think it's running 1:1 at 280Mhz (it's definately not!) Only 3DM'01 gets it right!
2) Related to this, it seems using the 140 divider automatically disables 1T for me and bandwidtch takes a massive hit (see Sandra). Is this a BIOS bug?
3) Apparently my memory is running at 194Mhz, but how is this possible?? 2800/194 = 14.43 and I thought A64 could only use integers as dividers... shouldn't it be using 2800/14 = 200Mhz?!

http://www.gandham.f2s.com/problemo1.JPG

Cheers,

Suman

[aMp]

So what did you change that got your clock from 2950 to 3000 MHz?

We only have the "after" A64 shot.

Just loosened some subsidiary timings, twtr, etc. Not sure exactly what did it, though. Two days ago I couldn't run essentially the same settings, even at 2.5-3-3-7. Hell, it wouldn't even boot into Windows at 2.5-3-3-7 at a 2/3 multi, but would at 7/10. Basically, I just played around out of frustration and suddenly it worked -- wish I could tell you more, but there it is. Apparently Opterons are picky as hell about mem timings, not necessarily in normal ways.



With all the optys I have had nothing is a quicker stopper then memory settings. You need some different ram if you have to run those settings.

Yep. Something that did at least 250 would be nice. But looking at those timings (now that I've got a stable config and can -- hopefully -- go back) do you see anything that you'd change?

Looks good. Can you bench spi at that speed?

I can up to 3.28GHz run 1M but the cpu has coldbug and the memory controller doesnt want to play.So the max superpi with TCCD for now is this:

Just ordered a 148 OEM from monarch, what are my chances for what steppings? Think I'll hit 3.0 on my big typhoon? I did on my 146 CABYE 0540, but I sold that. Thanks.

[Exa.bit]

Well I received my 148 from monarch today. It is a Cabye 0540fpbw, I received this from one that I had to RMA. So I dont know if you bought one today, you'd get this week. I was expecting a 0543 or so but this is what I got.

Is your 7800 wc also? What kind of ram are you using?

I have that same cpu and it is a good one. Maybe the best I have.

Screw Opterons, where the heck do you get these background photos?

Digicam shots of your girlfriends?

Nice Clocks BvK and nice Bunnies too.lol

Got a 146 CACJE 0546 BPMW yesterday, not the best of clockers but a good enough replacement for my 2.7GHz Venice.
2850MHz @ 1.595v , won't do 3GHz but I have a 148 coming that hopefully will.
First time I saw a CACJE though.. anyone else?

Ordered a 148 CACJE 0544 EPAW today,dont know how well it'll overclock,it's a replacement for my 144 BPMW (which is at 2.6)..the purpose being that i hope to get 3ghz out of her.
Cant find much info on these at all, but i'll post the results whether to see if she's a good un...or one to be avoided :) :p:

What's the AMD SP8M WR with AIR COOLING:confused:
Here is my Opt 146 CABYE 0540FPBW and lapped TT BT, it was semi cold out side (-3ºC):rolleyes:

The wr is just a ss and what you showed isn't going to beat it. That said, you have a very good chip.

Yes OCed to 540/1720, Ram is MT Micron 5BC, running 2T only, very bad Ram..

I have tweaked an Opteron 144 CABNE 0540BPMW today and results are really poor.

OCCT max stable was 2588MHz at 1.78V :slobber: . The only good point is the temp which was 34°C in idle and only 48°C in full load! Anyway, I have tried to give it more volts but it failed to load windows with 1.80V.

That's too bad, I feel for you. 0540CABYE is good and 0540CABNE isn't.:(

Week 40 is a shadow of week 30.
