The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

[coop]

Try using a 166 divider, (just try it) 11x, and raise up the HTT to get your speeds. I don't know why, but the ones I've tried and seen several others also, seem to prefer it.http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7672/opc2hrsp20043102144v1an.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

nice , which stepping?

i second that, thats amazing, only 1.4v and over 3ghz :clap:

Yes mine loves the 166 Divider as well I found out. Try it guys!

Hey guys, I just joined these forums and this is my first post(YAY!) Well seeing as the hype was big for these 939 opterons, I went ahead and bought one since I felt that my venice @ 2.85 just wasn't enough. I just got my oem opty from the egg today, hoping to get the 0543 caybe that others recently got and seem to be overclocking REALLY well. I was kinda disappointed when I opened it and it was a CAB2E 0546BPMW...However I am currently at 2.92 with 8m super pi stability (haven't tried farther here yet, still testing) but I tried to raise it a little further to 2.94 and started fail super pie like crazy, and went as far as 1.71v with no improvement. I really want to hit 3 ghz so any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

What was the Vcore in order to run the chip @2.92Ghz?

[Fhqwhgads6680]

Right now its at 1.59 v. I have homebuilt watercooling and my load temps are around 45-46c. I will post some screens soon with more info but right now im at work :( , I have a feeling its my ram cause not only is mt UTT REALLY finicky but I am also not yet used to the mem controller.

You was close to completely anticipate my second question... ;) What divider did you use? Did you ever tweak them appart from the CPU in order to see how they could really perform? Your combination of Geils' might take about 280MHz in 1:1 (if not higher)...
However, I have tested 2 weeks ago a good Opty 146 (CABYE0540APMW) which was able to do more than 3.1GHz under water and the improvement of the max bootable frequency was as follow:

MHz Volts
3170 1.71
3160 1.65
3150 1.59
3120 1.56

Sure there are not max stable values, but they give a good idea of the expectable improvement above let's say 1.60V (max stable frequency was 3118MHz @1.70V with 54°C during OCCT)... But your chip might be different, some love volts while other do not :D And it also depends on the cooling, but on some chips you could hit the wall even if you use a good air cooling.
Good luck; Let's see your screens...

its ok like this or should i change the multi to x11 again and 273x11 and ram to 273mhz????
Mascaras that´s the best you can have,i dont think that putting de multiplier to 10 you're going to have any gain in performance.

wow, you're lucky your processor isn't a molten piece of silicon with 1.8v. LTD is a fancy way of saying HTT. You want to make sure the LDT multiplier keeps the HTT below 1GHz. If you leave it at Auto it'll go with the multi that the cpu designates. If the cpu supports 1GHz HTT then it will have a 5x multi and 305x5 is way too high for the processor to handle. Read the OC threads and guides thoroughly before doing anything more. You are really lucky you didn't fry your cpu at 1.8v.

No, I put the voltage of 1,8 on the chipset, not the CPU:nono:. Even if I put the LTD to 1 the htt does not go over 305

[MadMikeSS]

Alright, my mistake then. :) You didn't specify what you were giving 1.8v to and I assumed it was the cpu from your posting.

1,8 on chip7 ??? for what ????

[ic3m4n2005]

tried 1,56 vs 1,7 on my DFI Expert, no change ;) (tested with 335 HTT which should be enough on my 148 :D )

[Boyne7]

just got an opteron 148 for the comp im building my friend. its a cabye 0542 fpmw, got a dfi nf4 sli-d and 2gb of g.skill ddr500. so i found the max htt of the board to be approx 350, the max ram to be like 270 and max ht to be 1200ish, but when i go to find the max cpu clock, this chip simply will not overclock at the 11x multiplier. it ran 350x8, but whenever i try to run it with 11x multiplier. it just refuses to post unless its at 200htt. anyone know why it might be doing this? hopefully i dont have similar problems with the 165 i just got for myself.

You want to set your LDT/FSB Ratio to a number that will get you as close as you can get to 1000. Example...300 you want 3.0x ; 250 you would want 4.0x

Also try using the 10.0 Multiplier for the CPU...they seem to like it better. Try something like 300x10.0 at around v1.500 volts with a 166 Divider on your memory to start.

Hey guys, need some of ur magic tricks / hints :D
My 148 is stable at around 2950 at def volts. But after that it needs 0.25v every 30 mhz.... wtf ?
Board is DFI Expert, Temps never rise above 35°C on water (you should add about 10° on it cause of Expert Board :) ). Tried the 166 divider as posted above, no improvements.

Besides my 146 does that! :p:

$260AUD for that CPU. Which is $190USD? :cool:

Plus hardware is cheaper in USofA. :nono:

the optys 148 Stepping: CAG2E 0546 are at 266€ (310$ USD) here in portugal , is this a good steping???

[Boyne7]

well, i tried everything within the bios to make the darn thing boot at anything past 200x11 at the 11 mult and it was a nogo, 10mult wasnt working either. so i flashed to 704-2bta and now its working, im gonna assume that was the problem, the bios was really finnicky

Opteron 148
CABYE 0543FPMW

Finally got a 24/7 100% 24 hour prime stable, cold-bug free configuration that I use for day to day gaming, folding general use (see first image).. 3.3 is a piece of cake, but I can't leave the system idle for terribly long without some load on it. Good for benching though (see second image). 3.4 is a brick wall, can't seem to hit it.

Popped the IHS, temps improved dramatically (10-12C load decrease)

If I recall correctly, it was running with 140Mhz setting, so at 245Mhz.
But I was to lazy to set VDimm higher than 3.2V, but I'll give it a try after the weekend.

Hey guys, been busy with getting ready for xmas and all, I actually traded my cab2e 0546 bpmw for my friend's cabye 0535 xpmw but it actually clocked worse so im gonna trade back since he doesn't overclock his stuff (using a server board :( ) once I get it back expect some screens! and btw I think the dfi's temp sensor is a little off in windows, cause I idle at 33-34 in windows but in the bios it says 38-39 so I am debating on popping off the IHS. What are the chances it'll give me anymore ocing room or is it not worth it?

Temps in Windows and in BIOS have always been different with me as well. BIOS is always higher than Windows is for some reason. I wonder which one is actually right...

What do you guys think??

Does anyone know if a waterblock will fit the chipset if only using the top PCI-e slot with a x1800XT and the waterblock?

[mongoled]

Temps in Windows and in BIOS have always been different with me as well. BIOS is always higher than Windows is for some reason. I wonder which one is actually right...Thts because in your bios the CPU does not idle, like it does in windows. The OS provides a function (cant remember the name) tht makes the CPU idle when it is not being used, hence the lower temps. Hopefully someone can provide the proper name for wht im talking abt

From the recent results in this thread, you can tell tht it is winter time in a lot of places! I remember when this thread first started tht there wernt not many peeps with SS over 3.3Ghz on air/water but now it has become quite common :p: . If it gets real cold here in Cyprus, which is a big if, the lowest i think i can hope for is arnd 2-3C I will take my case outside and push some numbers.

All the results are making my chip feel inferior, LOL :D

I finally got my new opteron 144. It is a CABGE tho but its very voltage loving.

This happened when it was put into a DFI nForce 4

Yeah No problem. I use this and it gives me 2mm more clearance than the stock solution. http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=29_46&products_id=86&osCsid=38711f60d6a04d1dc33884978641f369

The clearflex is just as good and much cheaper.

The 12 pump is a good one, but I prefer ac pumps and a relay. A lot of pumps out there...Make a solid investment .. is my advice. Iwaki is my first choice every time. And I personally use a pressure rated md30 japanese motor.

I've used Danger Den on all my builds for the last 2 1/2 years. I went back to my Maze3 for some retro action!

Another note... the full body x1800 cooler won't do much better than a gpu block and some ramsinks. If budget is not a concern then go for it. Personal experience is I don't keep my video cards long at least not on water there whole life. So, the fullbody coolers I bought for my 6800's were just useless paperweights to the tune of $240 until I sold them months later.

What th f#%$ is going on here :(
Apart from everything i tried the following...
a) 11x273 with 166div -> OCCT stable ;)
b) 10x300 with 166div -> not stable :(

So ive looked up the HTT since i left it on auto (tried 3 before), 1092 on a) and 900 on b), vcore was 1,45v in both cases, nothing chaged except multi and htt of course. SO first you will think its the ram, so i tested with winmemtest and aborted it by myself after 600%. So whats going on is th Expert not able to do 300 htt ? What would you guys recommend me ?
My other Hardware is, Opteron 148, X1800XT, 600w Powerstream, X-Fi and 2x160 Hitachi Sata2 @ RAid 0. I would appreciate your help :)

[coop]

I have a couple 148's and I found the 10x to be somewhat uncooperative as well. Just don't work as well even when ram is not an issue. It is not the board imo. ***edit***I had a 146 and it was fantastic with the 10x.

[ic3m4n2005]

Had a 146 too no prob here too ;)
Another damn thing is that the chip goes to 2980 with 1,41v and after this mark its stable at 3ghz but 3030 no go even with 1,5v, normal thing too ?? Was hoping for around 3100 :(

[K.I.T.T.]

How are the latest Opteron 144s doing? i'm tempted to order one to see if its any good....

Hmmm what stepping is your? is it a cabge 0545? nice clocks!! :toast:

what vcore?

I got mine of ebay....not the best stepping. Does 2.75 GHz at 1.5 V, but thn is held back by temps :(

Here is alittle something so far for you guys...

4 sticks of OCZ Plat Rev. 2 at 280FSB 3-4-4-8-2T and still going.

Opteron @ 2.8 @ v1.400

Also to add...I have noticed something... with the same voltage from 2.7 to 2.8 the temps are lower with 2.8...I wonder why that is...also my Chipset and PWMIC is lower as well by a few degrees.

Well which overclocks better? Um...from either of the two if I was to buy without knowing I would get the Opteron. So my opinion is keep the Opteron.

tried now 3.0 1.5v 37c idle / 55-56 load :(

It all depends on how fast the fan is running and what TIM you are using surely (assuming you got a good seating when you mounted it!).

I have the fan on a constant 2000rpm with AS5, and with 1.45V it idles at about 35 to 38 depending on room temp. Load goes up into the lower 50's. My case cooling is pretty crappy as well (single 120mm exhaust @ 5V, and PSU 80mm) because I like my rig quiet :)

Suman

[pershoot]

this is so strange. the opty 150 i have overclocks EXACTLY the same in my board as the prior SD 3700+ I had. It must be my board (needs high voltage (the same voltage) and same max clockage).

Anyone ever heard of this on dfi nf4?

Maybe I should disconnect 1 or 2 of the power connectors, ha.

man i dont want to board swap due to water cooling cramping things up, etc. what a hassle that will be...

[ugp]

Order water cooling stuff. Hopefully will have it soon. Can't wait to under go higher clocks.

[Fallengod]

Anyone buy an opty 144 recently off Mwave? What stepping did you get?

[overcrash86]

in europe the last stepping are :

CAB2E 0545 MPMW
CACJE 0546 APBW

the second are verry bad, impossible to stabilize over 2.5Ghz with more than 1.7v stock cooling, but i've tested only one piece :slap:
i have already one good 144 :banana:

Here are my screens so far. This is the CABYE 0535 XPMW I still have from my friend. I know the time is slow but I'm running a pretty low divider just to get this proc figured out before I really start tweaking it. Can anyone post some A64 tweaker screens off some similar UTT like this geil, I seem to have problems with this ram and I dunno if its me or what but it has always seems REALLY finicky, I am used to tccd.

cajce 0546 BPMW not real good for oc'ing, but would be a good chip for running 24/7. It would do a 32m @ 1.456 at 2972mhz, and a 3005mhz 32m @ 1.55v. Anything more was a no go even with more v. up to 1.66 true. BUT, it had a 57 Tcase and the temp stayed about 11 to 13c on my board. That is about 6c to 8c lower than the other ones which were 63 and 65 Tcasemax chips.

Unfortunet.
I just received 1 148 CACJE 0546 and it OC's to 2.915 265x11 on default stock voltage. 3.0 on just 1.45v. I had mine up to almost 3.2 on 1.55v (290x11) but my RAM took a turn for the worse and now gives errors at almost any speed. Ran stable for me up to 3.135 SuperPi 32M and Multiple 3DMARK05 and 01, when running RAM on 133 divider

Now I have noticed some of you guys using alittle more voltage on the LDT and Chipset...is this needed for stability. I have always left them alone when overclocking my San Diego chip.

Because I cannot Prime at 3.0GHz for nothing. OCCT passes but Prime fails in ~5-10 seconds.

[ic3m4n2005]

Another strange problem occured, cpu was stable with 11x271 @ 1,41v, so i gave 11x272 a try. stable for about 10 secs :D
After wondering about this i tried 11x271 again and result was not stable, failed stresscpu after a minute or so (tested everything with it since it shows errors after 5 mins when prime takes 1,5 hours).
Question: Is this rig making fun of me or what ?!? What can i do now ? Is one component faulty ? Ram seems fine since it can do 1000% win memtest, cpu i don`t really know but a few mhz less it`s stable even if u test it twice :D
mainboard is DFI Expert, brand new so should be ok either. PLs help me before i rip off my own hair :)

Man, I wonder what the deal is with the complete lack of voltage scaling? What is changing in the MFG process? My opty hits 2.8ghz 24/7 stable with 1.4V, takes 1.45V for 2.9, and NOTHING makes it stable beyond 2950. Tried 1.6 just to try, but 3gig was a no go and didn't feel like frying my pretty descent O/C chip.

Here's another 148 CABYE 0543FPMW. (http://www.forsocal.com/skpc/forumpics/11x272_P95.gif) Running it at just under 3Ghz in P95 with my current cooling (48c load) and IHS on. Damn chip decided to stop right at 11x273 at what I think is its sweet spot vcore...

It's a little better than my 148 CABYE 0528GPMW (P95 12+ hours @ 2950). I might pull the IHS's off to maybe get a more out of them next time I tear down the machines for maint.

Scottk what board are you using,and what´s your idle temperature??and wy don't you try 300X10 with 1.6 vcore?

[scottk]

It's on a DFI Ultra-D. Idle/Load reads 36c / 48c in ITESG. I tried up to 1.6225 vcore (1.475*110%) in bios and it didn't help to break 3G... just raised temps into the 50's. I think I just need to pull off the IHS to reduce the load temp. I'll get that 8 MHz somehow, lol.

[Aerou]

a lot of your CABYE , CABNE, etc doing 3GHz at stock voltage, HOLY CPU !!!!!:slobber: What cooling for this?????
Is it possible to go 3GHz on air like the typhoon or so?

0543 FPMW here too, runnin 3ghz prime at around 1,45 but nothin more, like you said. 3040 not stable with 1,525v :(

youre runnin on nf4 ultra-D ,right?

might be bios problem with dividers, a good bios could fix it,
I had this kind of prob on my neo4 pl. too (although with a winnie),

Most of the reports I've seen from folks who removed their IHS show some worthwhile gains from the reduction in load-temp. Have you tried higher than 1.525? Seems like you have a bit more cooling headroom if those are load temps.

Hi Guys,

Im new here as a member but have been reading ALL these pages for a few weeks now

You guys rock with some of your clocks...im very impressed..

My opty seems prime stable at 2.87 but im sure i can get more as im using a 166 ram divider...

Im sure ill be asking alot of questions shortly so i wont bother today...

Just wanted to say ' WOOT' im in the opty club :)

LOL !!! I've read about things like that before, somebody ordered an FX-57 off eBay and their green cardboard carton was all beat up! I bet somebody dropped it or something.

[Gitsum]

Dropped it? I think someone played soccer with it.

[003]

Hmm I just noticed, I have a 146 sitting here with the same stepping as you, CAB2E 0546FPAW. I was hoping for 3GHz, but then again I do have some better cooling, and I have another 146 on the way from NCIX because they had some earlier steppings. I will sell the one I dont want :) Can you get yours to 3GHz with more voltage?

[Gitsum]

Not sure I want to push it much further. Gets up around 50c already and I'm not sure what a "safe" max voltage is.

[003]

Single core, 1.6v should be ok, but yeah if you are already getting up to 50c then you should get some better cooling.

Well since I can't get any overclock Prime Stable I am going to be Xtreme and undervolt my Opty! Right now at v1.2 and load temps are 33-34C with Thermaltake Big Typhoon.

[ridikolous]

last week my opty was idleing at 32-33c... so i started to put everything back in my case.. reapplied some as5 now im idleing at 40-43c at stock speed... i reseated and reapplied as5 a few times already no change in temp... is there another option? im on water cooling

[ugp]

I have had this happen as well...and then all of a sudden it went back to normal...I cannot explain it. I am really thinking about popping the IHS off my Opty. Have been told many people experience extreme temp changes at full load...I hear the contact between them is very poor.

[ridikolous]

i might pop the lid off my opty also... ive been messing with this thing a for few days now trying to get my opty back on the right temp... thanks for the info ugp i thought this only happen to me..

Dishonesty @ its best :slap: :mad:

Because they weren't hitting their garunteed speeds of DDR600 with any of the suggested voltages. Once I gave em 3.1, guess what, DD600. People like me that make ram expensive??? I could remember 2 years back how much memory cost then, compared to then the cost for memory now is dirt cheap. If Newegg didnt want to lose money on RMA's because of "people like me" then they shouldnt offer them!!! Im gonna leave it at this, but I gotta be honest with you, your comment made me grit my teeth a little.

[ugp]

Alright people break it up...we all know even if we burned something out we would still try to RMA it to save the money.

Lets just leave it at that...! :D

mang i am getting wack temps again... now temps idle at 34-40c.. last night it ran 28-30c at idle... i even went to the store and bought some more as5... still no luck... i cleaned off and reapplied as5 five times and reseated my waterblock... how are you guys getting idle temps below 30c? i just thought opteron ran cooler... im at 1.38v

[ugp]

Opterons are weird

[laydback]

Room temp plays a big factor.

[ugp]

Yes they do. But my San Diego 3700+ at same voltage and clock speed runs 6 full Degrees cooler. Nothing else changed. Alot I think has to do with Poor ISH contact.

[ridikolous]

finally figured it out... my waterblock was clamped down too tight... so i decided to losen it up.... badabing hopefully for the last time i have to go thru this temp idles at 28c now at 250x11 w/ 1.4v

[alpha0ne]

Here are a few quick low Vcore/Vdimm runs, I have since reduced Vcore to 1.312 (1.33v in bios) and will drop down by .025 each day until I find the lowest torture stable Vcore possible :cool: :D

Well, I got tired of asking for ss of the Opteron 939 cpu's so I got my own ss 25 minutes after I got home from work. I did rip the box open, put it in the mb and cranked up the MHz. I am not the low volts burn kind of guy(not slant on those who are). I will only post if I have a pi ss. Here's 25 minutes worth of oc'ing. Ram is OCZ4800.

OCCT and SP 32M are very good tests, but in my worthless opinion, not until it can run SP2004 for eight hours is it "totally stable'. Very nice chip BTW.

[Absolute_0]

anyone know the word on the latest 148s from Monarch? only 207$ and no tax is tempting...

[ridikolous]

i also have Watercooling , i have 3ghz@1.40v and im getting 27c idle and 37/38c runing OCCT so its not very diferent temps from you .

i fixed my temp now.. now i idle around 22-26c... just needed to tweak my waterblock around... now ive getting good temps...
