Just wait until i get better cooling. This thing is so temp limited.

OCCT failed at 3012 repeatedly. Temps went down < 1C and then it finally made it through. If temps go down like half a degree, i notice OCCT lasts about 5minutes longer. LOL.

More stuff

Lowered temp a degree and OCCT went at 3020

That one is good but i think this one is better yet. I pulled off a 1M at 3072 pretty easily with 1.5 volts (enduring 50+ c load :( ) while your max was 3042 with 1.55v.
Not really. ;)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a392/5days/SuperPi1M22.jpg

Did up to 3110 with 1.525V before it started to crap out. :)

But for some reason, even with the 166 Divider @ 3110 I couldnt get a better time than my 2nd attempt (3042). I think I might have loosened Async a bit too much...

[Absolute_0]

well that's a horse of a different color ;), you should have posted that one.

thats terrific.

[shimmishim]

i guess the single core opterons aren't as popular anymore!

still testing

voltage set to auto / auto in bios.

not too bad.

i was expecting bad results since someone else reported not so hot results with this stepping.

this is with watercooling.

[Absolute_0]

Push the volts shim!

[halo112358]

that's awesome shim, the funny part is that you're exactly at the point where my chip is 24/7 stable. I need 1.525V +20mV to stay stable though ;)

[Absolute_0]

Who says burn in doesn't work? CPU tops out at 2.92 for prime on day 1, i burn it for several days, now 2.94.

[njkid32]

Very nice Whit... But get rid of those things already and get that nice 148 on phase!

[halo112358]

Absolute: What happens when you feed that 146 more volts? I'm curious about how fast you hit a wall with that one on air, I seemed to hit a wall pretty quickly on my 148 after I moved off of stock volts.

It seems like some of these chips love volts and some don't.

[Absolute_0]

I get 55C load and it starts to fail. Runs great until it heats up. I have done OCCT at 3020 on 1.45 so far. Lemme put my ACFreezer64 Pro on it...

[halo112358]

I think I hit the wall with my 148, I can't get much past ~266 x11 without going to 1.625+. My temps are fine, even at 1.675V I don't peak at anything higher than 49C but I can't break 3.0ghz and stay even 1M stable for the life of me.

... just 9mhz more HT please! :stick:

[MaRtIe]

I get the same problems.. temps on opterons are a big problem, after i go over the 50C loaded mark, more volts just does nothing

[Rufus7]

Buddies you have to keep your Loadtemps under 38°C then the Chip will work excellent. Thats the only secret of good Ocing.
Nicest Loadtemps are under 36°C at any Opteron or other CPUs.

My chips won't do temps that low even with stock volts on my AC Freezer. With watercooling it wouldn't be that low, i would need watercooling *and* IHS removed, which is asking a lot.

Nicest Loadtemps are under 36°C at any Opteron or other CPUs.

36-38C load is pretty much where I don't get any more benefit bumping the volts up. I hit a sweet spot at 264x11 w/ 1.525V +20mV and ~32-36C load temps (depending on ambient).

I'm on air cooling so my options are restricted. I've already upgraded to a higher cfm fan on my big typhoon, cut a hole in the side of my case over the cpu and ducted the opening directly to the BT. It's somewhat hoopty, but it dropped my load temps from ~44-48C to ~32-36C (usually ~33 or so).

So I guess I'm running out of ideas, I could go to water cooling but I don't have spare cash to buy the parts. I did find a guy selling an old Swiftech extreme duty kit for $250, it includes a storm waterblock, but I'm hesitant to spend money until I've saved more.

@ Absolute_0: have you tried turning on C'n'Q ? It made a _huge_ difference in my temps, instead of idling at ~32C I idle at ~20C. That cuts the heat load inside the case considerably, it also lowers the heat dump from the PWM circuitry. I didn't think it would do as much as it does, I'm impressed. For budget OC on air it's a winner. edit: I just noticed, we have the same core/week/stepping, 2.9ghz is as far as I can get it to go on air, ihs is off and makes a nice keychain.

[Rufus7]

Oh you are Aircooler Buddie. That´s quiet different und more difficult thän with Water to get an Chip cool.
I have also been cooling an 0530APMW with Air but thats too hot for the DIE.
Water is better and easier to get an chip colder.
Without having an Coldbug.
And for now thats an DC 170 0550VPMW under DualPrime Custom FFTs in place at 2x3000Mhz and 1,424Vcore.
Ridicoulos Loadtemps. Never saw under water such high Temps at any CHip on my Board.

Heres the Screen DualPrime is still runnig.Ambient Roomtemp is around 19°C.

Primes for a few minutes but then gets to around 53C and fails ><

My ask.. i will try go for 3.2ghz then, what is the max Vcore don't shoot on the Opty for stability? if it don't keep at 1.5V, 1.55V.. 1.6V is a lot for this type of opteron?.. i got it since some hour only don't want burn it first day..

Need say the Opteron have really impressive me.. really easy to set with OCZ4800, incredible like it go stable fine with stock voltage on start...

I'm running mine 24/7 with 1.58 Vcore on air, load temps are under 44C at all times. I think up to 1.60V is OK, if it took 1.625 to make it stable at 3.2ghz then I'd think that was OK too :D

jeeze you run 1.58 volts and it only loads at 44c? I load at 46c with 1.45 volts. Lapped ACFreezer64 pro and lapped IHS.

Well on air I wouldn't go over 1.5-1.55. So that just might be your cpu's limit. Are you sure your ram is not limiting it? Might want to try a higher divider.

Try using the x10 multi, some CPU's prefer running x10 :)

[Lane-k]

really i don't know.. pehraps have you no luck.. but it's strange you can't go higher.. I can use any multiplicator for OC all work.. 308-310x10, 285x11,265x12..etc.. but yes.. sometimes some CPU like more one or another multi..
all work if i have Prime or OCCT instable ( 3 minute after the end of test).. i up the voltage a little bit no problem..Are you sure of your settings for your DDR?
Is your prob can come from the temp?

I'll have a screen shot soon, but the other day I decided to play around with my chip some more(I was running 2.81@1.37v primed for 9 hours)... well long story short, after I played I couldn't prime it without the volts changing on me.

SO, I'm running at 2.80@1.32v now.. undervolted it. Primed for 20min then I stopped it before I went to bed.

chew has a funny choice of motherboard and is a hard core ocer...........I would say that's the reason why he'd see the corruptions.....but it isn't that widely known...........i happened to be running most of my systems at those HTTs and above for the past year and i never had an issue like that nor heard of anyone other than you mention it

I had to redo mine one time. Doing the 1m Spi ratio thread. 2400mhz was the best ratio and I was using CGen at 343x7. I tried to reboot and start from 342x7 and corrupted it. Just make sure you have a clone or copy that you can just "paste" back in after you format. BEFORE you try for corruption.
**edit** I think using CGen is safe, just don't try to boot like that.

BTW, CACJE 0601 GPAW seems to be a very weak series. Mine can't get past 2880 even with 1.7v... It's going back to my reseller this afternoon, I can get my money back if I return it in less than 7 days :D

[BUGGI1000]

@Mursaat
Have bought CACJE 0601 GPAW 146 this weekend.
Works at 2950MHz with Air cooling with 1,5V (primestable). 3000Mhz works
but not primestable. Isn't that impressive compared to some PMWs but "good
enough" for me. ;)

BUGGI

[mursaat]

Well I've tried even with memory 120 divider. What I forgot is to relax MAL and RP, will try later, but don't think the Opteron is not able to manage MAL8 at ~200Mhz... What memory do you use? can you post all your config? Thanks :)

[BUGGI1000]

@Mursaat
Using an MSI Neo 4-F with 2x512MB "old" Samsung DRAM.
Config as always:

HT Multi = 3
Core @ 1,5V (look at the picture)
NF4 = 1,55V (normal settings, don't do aggressive)
Bus = 295MHz
DRAM Clock = 133MHz -> runs then at 197MHz with 1T and CL3
Cooling is air (Artic Freezer 64 with FAN @ 5V -> look at the picture)

[mursaat]

Thanks a lot BUGGI!

Anyway I've sent the chip to my reseller right now. I have the right to send it back in less than 7 days, I get the money back (in the shop, but it's my favourite shop :D)

Not even 2850 with 1.4-1.7v :( I will stay with my 165@2600 with 1.375v for a while

[mursaat]

I'm running mine 24/7 with 1.58 Vcore on air, load temps are under 44C at all times. I think up to 1.60V is OK, if it took 1.625 to make it stable at 3.2ghz then I'd think that was OK too :DIs that a CACJE 0551 TPMW? I can't find any info on CACJE 0551 TPW8, so maybe that was a typo? Thanks! :)

//EDIT Sorry for the double post. I did second quoting from the page 184, an hour and 4 minutes later, and I thought there should've been posted again :D

Alright this is my 2nd best, the 0154 batch CPU on my stupid air cooling with frigging terrible temps.

"I don't think too many Opterons can prime at 3.1 with 1.56v and 48c load"
You have a point there. Get your h2o going.

[Absolute_0]

Yeah yeah the block is coming in soon.

Hey you know that CABYE i got from you - that thing is HOT! I put it on air and gave it 1.6 volts and started SP2004 - jumped to 60c instantly!
And on the phase change, well it just about overloads the single stage. It does what i say in the sig, but when i give it 1.63 volts, loads at +14c!
It's a good chip to be sure, but man it's hot, it needs a better single stage to run on and it would fly.

[coop]

It is tempermental, but it will get up there, clockwise. It was hard for me to control though with DI and not having any temp monitoring device. See the SD thread please.

When my G.Skill HZ shows up, I will actaully try to OC, my Opty 148 CABYE, but be in that I have a XPMW, seems like a rare chip, i am finding very few peeps, less then 5 or so that have anything remotely good for an OC, and almost no BIOS settings.

Then again in about 2 weeks when I get 3500$ I want to buy a FX-60.

Futuremark doesn't say anything about stability, i was able to run 3dmark01 at 3.1 Ghz on the stock heatsink with one of my 146s, although it could barely prime at 3 Ghz cuz of heat.

[radcruiser]

thats the reason I said bench stabile. still testing, its game and prime stable @ 2950 mhz @ 1.52v with air cooling.

[Hullz-Modz]

Ok, got myself an Opteron 146 CACJE and wasnt hoping to achieve more than 2.7-2.8 outa this chip, from what i've seen posted here.

First attempt:

146 CACJE @ 2700.88 MHz / Air Cooled / Prime Stable
Mutliplier = x10
HTT = 270
Voltage @ 1.5 BIOS (Burning it in, might be possible to lower it)
CPU Temp = 31-33c IDLE
FSB = 270
RAM = 180

Update: Dropped CPU Voltage to 1.475 and upped HTT to 290

Currently running:

146 CACJE @ 2920.88 MHz / Air Cooled / Prime Stable
Mutliplier = x10
HTT = 290
Voltage @ 1.475 BIOS (Lowered from 1.5v)
CPU Temp = 33-34c IDLE / 40c Full Load
FSB = 292
RAM = 194

Seems like i have room to hit the magic 3ghz mark and possibly more :woot: Seems like 2006 is a good year ;)

P.S. New to the overclocking scene too, not bad for a first try eh? :)

Cooling is another big factor, but it's pretty obvious. Motherboard is much more important than most people realize. Motherboards like the MSI K8N Neo1 and Neo2 hold back overclocks. I should know, i've owned both. If you are REALLY and truly interested in overclocking, i seriously advise you to consider the DFI NF4 Ultra-D and nothing else.

--> Is it that bad ? :(

Please get rid of that link :slapass: :slapass: :slapass:

[brechtvm]

It just means DFIs clock best ;)
You can push it to the limit, when you're using a DFI motherboard, thats a fact:)
Would my MSI Neo2 hold me back for about 100mhz(or more) ?
(in comparison to an DFI motherboard, with nforce4 chipset)
or is the difference in clock-speed rather small ? (at same vcore etc...)

[Absolute_0]

Other mobos hit HTT limits, my Neo2 Platinum didn't work past 275 HTT, i thought it was a bad CPU, nope just a crappy motherboard. Also this is kinda OT next time you have a question like that use PMs...

[coop]

@Absolute 0, Glad to see you got your water going, those chips were ready for it.
@overcrash86, awesome chip. Cool 'liquid' setup. I use similar with vc only not as extreme.
Just did this testing Di tubes...:D

Jesus coop, 32M at 3.57, beautiful. That DICE really hits the spot.

[coop]

agreed, there is a sweet spot in there, temp wise. I have to run Systool to monitor temps. Like that prime? lol

[Clint]

Well i thought i had killed my 146 when i removed the IHS turns out it's alive and kicking. I mounted my watercooling on the naked core and OMFG is it flying, right now i'm priming at 3.15 Ghz with 1.50v, and the room is warm...

Just did this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/absolute035/CABQE/e8d1e878.jpg

Definitely one of the best 146s i've seen. If you've got a better 146 on normal watercooling i want to see it!

well, I got my old CABYE 0540 FPAW:

This is on air, IHS still on ;)
(this was before I even bothered with prime)

and a sick low volts:

I have to sell this gem now, customs ripped me off big time on that 170'er...:(
..have to sell on Ebay though, can't let it go to cheaply..

[Absolute_0]

3.1 on air is nice, but 32M doesn't speak as much as Prime, i can run a 32M over 50 Mhz past where prime fails. The main reason is that Prime loads me 2-3c higher than SP32M. Still a very nice chip though - especially for air and IHS still on!!

[Rufus7]

Nice clocks Buddies.
have to test my 148 Optie CAB2E0547GPMW HS still on it.

[Absolute_0]

Hey Rufus, buddy

I had a CAB2E 0547GPMW 148! Batch # 0112

On water it did 3.1 prime-stable with 1.5v and 3.2 OCCT-stable with 1.60v, IHS still on. Very good chip!!

[Rufus7]

My GPMW has an 248Batch.
Who knows that 146er CABNE0530APMWs with the 1288864L50XXX Wafercharge has an Coldbug?
I have a Buddie who has a modded Mach IIGT.
Want to know if my APMW can hit the 3,8Gig under Phase?

[Big.Wayne]

I have to sell this gem now, customs ripped me off big time on that 170'er...:(
..have to sell on Ebay though, can't let it go to cheaply..I just sold my oem 146 CABNE 0545 on auction for $324US (£185) so I'm sure you will get a pretty penny for yours, work out what you want for it and make a *Buy-It-Now*.

Out of interest how much was the customs thing as I have been looking at getting a CPU sent from the states to the uk?

i have a CABQE 0547 GPAW
another guy, with the same cpu, was able to hit 2.8ghz @ 1.45vCore, with arctic freezer pro...
mine can hit till 3.2ghz, @ 1.6vCore right now (no decent cooling)

when my neo2-bios is updated (waiting for a winnie cpu, or nc, or clawhammer), i will post my results :)

problem : it's nforce3ultra (no nforce4)... and i read, nforce3 limits oc's :( (i even thought you wrote the article :D)

I have two opty 146 with same stepping (CABQE 0547 GPAW), but i can do only about 3GHz with 1.55V (no IHS, watercooled, primestable). But higher Vcore (a try 1.57-1.65V) dont help me. Is it limitation of CPU ?

What is your max stable frek ?

[Lane-k]

I need your advice about one thing: the first days i got my Opteron 150 i had no prblem set easy OC at different multiplicator all at 3.1Ghz or close to 3.1Ghz.. 310x10 (DDR1:1), 282x11, 262x12, settings stable during hours of Prime95, SP2004 and OCCT.. no problem at all, around 1.58-1.62V used..

Since some days a strange thing happend: first set a 300x9 crash during the Super Pi32M, when the same test at 260x12 pass.. Sometimes OCCT crash at 300x10 but pass at 310x10 same setting, same voltage.. so it's difficult stay stable in this conditions: I think it's the PSU, i have one on road but i ask me if it's really the problem or not.. What do you think my CPu have a problem? or i should look another thing..??

[Clint]

I just sold my oem 146 CABNE 0545 on auction for $324US (£185) so I'm sure you will get a pretty penny for yours, work out what you want for it and make a *Buy-It-Now*.

Out of interest how much was the customs thing as I have been looking at getting a CPU sent from the states to the uk?

In Sweden they add 25% salestax on the whole sum that I have paid, even the money that I have paid for the shipping...how sick is that on a scale?...pay salestax on a service bought in another country....can only happend in Sweden:mad:

But I'm not complaining, Ms Fortune smiled at me this time...got me that killer CPU that will hold for some time:p:
My Opty is officially owned by a company, so the bloodhoundtaxmoney is gonna be refounded later on anyhow;)

I believe you guys have a 17% salestax, so you could just add that to the cost...I don't think you will have to pay more than that.

[sr4470]

Apologies if this has been answered earlier in the thread, but I dont feel like trawling through over 180 pages to find it - I have an opteron 146 on the DFI Ultra-D, which bios would be best?

[Lane-k]

Personally with DFI, best is allways the 704-2BTA (bigToe modded)..


In addition of my last post about my little prob.. Pehraps finally it just PSU give me trouble..
I have change the Jumper of the mobo and pass the DDR rails to the 5V but stay at 2.9V on DDR, i have too remove some leds UV.. First thing, the 12V have increase:12.01V ->12.07V directly.. then OCCT pass now easy at 300x10 and 310x10.. What do you think guys? all this trouble is caused by my PSU?

[sr4470]

Personally with DFI, best is allways the 704-2BTA (bigToe modded)..

Thanks. Hopefully this will do 3ghz in my DFI as well as the previous owner's...

Again i put one reserve.. all depend of your DDR, but all guy have try this bios have use this one then.. Never DDR ( TCCD/TCC5 and UTT-BH5, Bh5 etc..) have been so stable on this board...and Oc' able.

Well the memory is **** geil that will be on a divider. May hold back performance but I dont care about it enough to splash out on new ram as well.

[Lane-k]

Geil ar not bad.. if i remember well they use too TCCD like A-DATA DDR.. try this bios... i think you will have good result...
Normally the Orange slots work better but again. it depend of your DDR.. it can be the yellow. it's a thing too try..
Normally Orange for TCCD/TCC5..

Think my problem come really of my PSU.. it seems it can keep again stable at310x10 and better.. need make more test.. bad my Silverstone will not be here before one week again..

[sr4470]

This is geil value - doesnt go above 245 2.5-4-4-10.

That depends on what memory you are using, if you have the new Samsung UCCC chip you will be better off with 623-1 bios

[sr4470]

That depends on what memory you are using, if you have the new Samsung UCCC chip you will be better off with 623-1 bios

Its the Geil Dragon variety, with the LEDs and chips directly on the PCB, i.e. no TSOP\BGA packaging (havent checked what they are though). 623 is the bios I have now...

Buy a new (untested) opty 146 and... Test it yourself..
this is the OC-part of XS..
(oc = test it yourself ;))

[wittekakker]

Most of the time they use air or watercooling. Vcore never above 1,55V.
That's what I've seen from most of the pretested cpu's.

please explain me :p
I thought a pretested one was a lot more expensive
although, most opteron 146 cpu's can reach 3ghz @ 1.5vCore @ air

[Absolute_0]

Most 146s can't reach 3 Ghz with 1.5vcore... many will reach 3.0 Ghz but it's still above average, and 3 Ghz with 1.5vcore is definitely above average.

Look at MaxxxRacer's CPU. CABYE 0540FPBW, one of the best steppings ever. Tops out at 2.9 Ghz with 1.5v on watercooling.

it seems i was wrong ;)

Nope, it was cheaper than usual prices here.

Unfortunately one of my ram modules died :( no more clocking till I have new ram sorted.

[0verl0ad]

I removed the hs of my 144 0536 GPMW.
Before i had to give 1,52v for 2,8ghz and now 1,48v are enough.

Could a burn in improve the clock? The cpu is one of the first opterons ...

Well I think it will do 3Ghz @ aircooling,
as its temp in IDLE is 28 C (22C Ambinient) and 39 Under Load

Hmm 1.65v isn't "under 1.6v" but that's still pretty damn nice :)

[killer_pav]

Ahh weel, I am still darn happy,
I wanna put this baby under 1.75 to see if i hit 3.2 primestable,
Is it worth it??

[Absolute_0]

Uhhh if the IHS is on, you won't be able to supply that many volts without kicking temps way past 50c, which at those speeds means instantaneous error.

[killer_pav]

Ok
I gues it is not worth it
So iwont do it.
And about the IHS
I screwed few 144 taking the ihs off, cause cracked the core,
what can you do to prevent that??

just wondering how long it can survive :nono:

Nah I was wondering becuase im getting load temps over 50 @ 1.53v with my xp-120 and 93cfm fan (which in my eyes is like top 5 in aircooling setups). Thinking I might have to pop the lid to at least redo the paste between IHS and the core.

[Absolute_0]

That 146 ugp has loads in the high 40s with 1.62v and aircooling. It's the coolest running Opteron i've seen.

[bathuu]

HI guys
I'm just wondering Opty 144, 146 babies overclocked at FX 55, 57 speed, they really perform like their overpriced brothers? Is there any bench or comparison test?(video encode, game test)
I really need to know before I move on to Opty???PLZ

[Absolute_0]

Performance between FX and Opties at teh same speed is identical.

[bathuu]

Have you ever compared your Opty's with FX benchmark?

[Absolute_0]

my personal comparison doesn't change the fact i just stated. You can doubt me, but anybody here will back it up. Only thing the FXs got is unlocked multis, possibly better memory controllers.

[c.freak]

Sure the fx is a hot one but i'd rather go buy a opteron. But besides this i wanna know the lowest temp anyone reached with a removed IHS + watercooling on a opteron 146. I've been as low as 14 celsius but the normal idle temperature is 19-21.

May put it under the prommie when done but even on air cooling(Folding at home fully stable at 35deg C)Have full stability on P95,3d2001-2006 but havent tried OCCT yet.

That 146 ugp has loads in the high 40s with 1.62v and aircooling. It's the coolest running Opteron i've seen.
He is correct:p: He would know sice I bought this Opteron from him:p:

Here is another screen to add...

no-one is interested ... :p
i'm interested in a 146, reaching 3ghz @ MAX 1.5vCore ;) (aircooled)
3ghz @ 1.6vcore is almost usual nowadays ;)

just to share my nice opty146 which was sold on last month

1.6vCore is too much for 24/7 usage, imo ;)

:eek: :banana:
that's what i like :D

1.6v won't hurt a thing. I have run 1.66v 24/7 for months... other people have used 1.7v 24/7 with no ill effects.

on 'air' ?
imo : max + 0.1 vCore for 24/7 use

[Absolute_0]

Max is +.1?
Default is 1.36
so you mean 1.46? Because that's pretty weak.

i thought opteron had a stock vCore of 1.4v
so.. 1.5v
(that 0.04v won't make a great difference ;))

Just playing today, 1.6v by DMM. CPU does 3ghz @ 1.49v by DMM, loading @ 34c. It will go higher than this, i'm sure.

But you don't have mine.

Irrelevant. 1.6v by DMM, but 1.45v in windows. Seeing as we are using 1.6v windows reading, it cannot be compared to a 1.45v windows reading.

Plus you claim 34c, screenshot clearly shows 38c, what are you trying to prove??

[cadaveca]

lol you don't know what you are talking about. 1.58 by windows...CPU-z is wrong. I was @ 3.1ghz, 1.6v, as shown by systool. i wish i got 3.1ghz on air w/1.45v. Lol. That's a good one.

I just started prime, back @ 1.48 and 3ghz.load temp is 32c.

Got anything else you'd like me to run?..prime95 generates abt teh most heat:nono:

[gocchin]

Just got started on a CABNE 0530APMW (afireinside's old cpu) topless on water
AQX MP-05, 50Z, 120.3 MP-01 w/ 6800gs

Runs hot but OC's like hell.... Ambient temp 22C.
I capped this screen after an hour but let it run till morning...after which I
forgot to get another screenie.... :rolleyes:

Now that's a nice one gocchin...got that mastercard for me yet? lol

And that's on water? wowzers.

Here's anothert screen, using uptodate CPU-z just for absolute0

Hey, dont say i dont know what i'm talking about, i get thrown off when your CPUZ readings are wrong...

Plus, i dont have a hard time believing in 3.1 Ghz with 1.45v

With higher load temps... watercooled and IHS removed. Honestly i think your reported temps are as wrong as your CPUZ voltage readings.

[cadaveca]

uh, read the post up, guy. what would you like me to run? I'm on air...BTW, not water.

How old are you? Just wondering.

I know you are on air

But let me tell you the facts

Aircooling + 1.6v doesn't equal 32c load

therefore
your reported temps are wrong
You can call me a stupid immature idiot... everybody will agree with me... 32c on air with 1.6v, as a loaded temperature, implies either a bad read, or 12c ambients.

[cadaveca]

1.5v :nono:

read the posts again.

ambient is 17c.

[Absolute_0]

idk, it's hard to read your screenshots - your second one is a blurry mess

So far i'm getting, aircooled ->
1.6v --> 38c load
1.5v --> 32c load

Anyone who has done tests with a real temp. guage will tell you how far off the readings are, but whatever floats your boat :)

[cadaveca]

before i popped the top, temps were 15c higher.

replaced the goop with as5, re-attached the IHS, temps are as they are now.

it drops off quickly after 3ghz....3.1 @ 1.6, 1.65 for 3150.

[Absolute_0]

What i'm having a hard time believing is 32c load with 1.5v

In my screenshot i posted, i'm using 1.45v, i'm loading at 34c. My cooling is custom watercooling strapped tightly to a naked core.

Less voltage, far superior cooling, direct die contact, +2c? Doesn't make sense

(similar room temps)

That's all i have to say, enough arguing for now. We all know that these temp monitors are all way off.

[cadaveca]

LoL. okay. Serial number of this chip is "0067"
According to same tool you use, but on RDX, rather than nf4 DFI, max temp reported is 34c.
According to that serial #, it's close to the center of the wafer...I picked this cpu out of abt 400, looking for this low number. When the rest of my kit arrives, I'll put it under both water and phase, and we will see how it goes. I just think i got lucky, you can think what you want. I just thought I'd share.

what does your serial number end with? Maybe this would be info that could lend to confirmation or denail of said claim.

would you like me to put a probe next to die? what would you like? I can do any of this, so we can compare cpu's. I tihnk this is a good show as to what AMD is capable of. You seem to think it's abt more than that.

well good temps anyway

Mine in screenshot is the best Opteron out of 5 week 47s
batch 0246. Better than 0112, 0133, 0150, 0351.
