We would have to know exactly how that number works i think...it could be a spiral outwards from center, or left/right...maybe there is jumps in numbers for cpu's next to one another. With enough info, it should be easy to figure out. Would have made my handpicking easier! maybe many numbers are the same...close ot center, one side of center is better...I am sure they check this to calibrate lens.

like i said, spiral pattern amy explain the difference. make a to-size pic of a wafer with numbers in spiral, and you see what i mean. I bet with enough numbers, we could even place the machine it was fabbed with.

03-10-2006, 01:46 PM

I havn't really messed with it, I have an FX-57 for overclocking, but its running now at 2.8GHz with stock volts.

I have played with one other CACJE it was a 0545APAW i think. did 2.92GHz with stock volts, suicide at 3.2GHz, but I didnt like how it acted. If it was unstable in Super Pi it would just lock up instead of throwing an error. And cold bug kicked in at 10C really bad

Bob21

03-10-2006, 01:49 PM

The new Opteron 146s have great IHS contact on the inside...I think AMD finally noticed that half of them were really crappy and fixed this issue...I have no issues running mine at v1.6 on air cooling 24/7

I completely agree with this, I don't know what they did, but my 06 chip idles at 31C compared to about 45C for my 0540

Ya, you should be up to about 95MB/s maybe more with the 36gigers in raid0. pretty snappy in windows.

Another question:
I bought an opti 146 CACJE 0601GPAW.
It is going up to 2.75 with default vcore but it is getting very hot. 60+ degrees.
Stock air of course for that.By removing IHS & stock cooling will i have better results with this voltage? What temperature shall i expect?
San Diego cores are cooler than Optis (and Venice is cooler than Opti two at the same MHz...)?

Thanks! Yea this 148 is another Cabne monster, benching 3D @3651mhz is higher than I first thought it would go. The Super Pi 1m was just a test to see how high it would run it at. 3DMark 01 is another story... I will try the LOD after a fresh install, this install is already showing signs of slowing down. I also would like to re-run Super Pi... I know there is more left in this Opty...

I haven't seen many 06 144's, so I thought I post some quick results with the one I received today. Just getting started with this: CACJE 0602 GPMW. At stock vcore, 9x295, over 1hr prime stable. Had bump vcore to 1.425, 9x312, still running prime, currently at about 1 1/2 hours. That's 2.8ghz at just over stock voltage. Not bad for $150 :D I'm sure there's still more in it. I remember when that would be an amazing overclock for a 3000. These opty's have really raised the bar. Just about done for tonight, will try and get some screenshots up tomorrow.

EDIT: Still trying to find the max of this chip. Here is 1 hour of prime at 2.9ghz. Memory is on 100 divider just to rule it out. Going to stop it now and crank 'er up some more.

jhatfie

03-20-2006, 03:06 PM

Just got my new Opteron 146 from Monarch today. Was too excited to grab the stepping off the spreader before installing it. This one seems to run a bunch hotter than the Venice it is replacing. My 3000+ at 2.7ghz @ 1.55v would idle at 21-22C and load at 30C under water. My Opteron idles at 28C and loads around 38C at 2.95ghz @ 1.45v with the same watercooling (Storm, D4 pump, D-tek pro-core, etc). Will try for more later as soon as I have time to test more.

Not sure if the heatspreader is just not making real good contact with the core or not. Still, sub 40C under load is acceptable I suppose.

*UPDATE* ~ Up to 3100mhz so far @ 1.5v. Not 100% stable just yet, but working on it (stable enough for 1M superPi at least). Sadly I had to use a crap 140mhz memory divider. I thought my DFI had a 150mhz divider option...maybe a different bios or am I just thinking things? Temps are bugging me though...thought they would be lower under water.

coop

03-20-2006, 07:59 PM

@higgins, if you want to o/c and are using air, temps should be considered. It seems many newer 3700's do well and run cooler than 146..generally. Plus you get an 11x.

Most of 146 do 2800-2900mhz stable but a lot of them 3000mhz and over .

Opteron 148 (CABYE 0528GPMW)
Stock Vapochill LS IHS off?

Nubius

03-23-2006, 02:22 AM

holy crap these things heat up quick.

Mine is running 301x9 for 2.709GHz. Vcore is 1.35 + 113% I believe and CPU-Z is reading 1.472 although I realize CPU-Z isn't the end all answer in accuracy.

This sucker was 43C at 2.6GHz but that was at 1.4v, now it's hitting 50C and the PWM IC's are hitting 49-50C! Whew......although I did see someone talking about theirs hitting 68C lol.

Guess I need to get my little 60mm 6000RPM fan aiming at those PWM's and the CPU....only drawback is those fans are freakin noisy as all hell. I DID just get the opty today though, so the AS5 hasn't come even close to settling in yet, so hopefully the temp drops a little in the next few days.

And this is even with water cooling =/

I really thing my temp sensor is off though. It bounces around too much. As soon as I stop prime it drops to 38C instantly and I've only ever seen my GPU drop in temp that quick, but beyond that it'll go like 36 , 40 , 37, 36, 41, like that within seconds of each other.

I have a little prob, at a certain OC pehraps someone can give me some idea:

It's concern stability during SP2004, i have launch a SP 2004 Blend Test at 3144mhz, 262x12, 2.5-4-4-10 ( large timings for test normally i use 2.5-3-3-7 at 260mhz)
DFI expert last beta bios. (12/07)
TCCD600 OCZ Elite

The test pass without warning and errors i have take a screen at 1H20minutes, complete timings with the A64Tweakers,
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3007/114ty.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

No problem so far..
...But if i launch the SP2004 Large FTT test (DRam stress), the PC lock up, and i need reboot manually... for the blend test i have put alot of Vcore, but it pass with lower voltage.. I have the feel this is more a PSU prob but i don't understand.. i can imagine the Large FTT test give error after 30-40 minutes if the blend test pass but not lock up directly after 2 sec..

I command a Enermax liberty 620W for replace the TT 680W monday with G-skill Utt Bh5 3200 for play with them but i m not sure the prob is only that..
Some advice?

Anyone else experienced a drop in needed volts to make your chip stable over time?
When i first got my opteron 146 it needed 1.6v to be stable @ 3g or 3.1g, now a couple of months on its stable with only 1.52v @ 3g its saved me about 3c in load temps aswell on my watercooling.

What htt is everyone running? my old winchester never liked anything over 1000 so i always ran 3 x htt, but this opty runs fine at 4 x 300

I also have had the same drop in voltage required. need 1.62v to Prime at 3Ghz stable. I run it at that for around 3mths, once i removed the IHS its now SOLID in primt at 1.52v :D

Also lads are the CABYE 0540 FPAW Cold BUGGED?

:woot:

Actually no!

DFI Expert mobo reports too low CPU temp, I'd say add 8-10 'C to those 28'C.
That's closer to the truth.

Btw, removing the IHS reduced load temp by 4-5 'C.
And it's water ...

CPU FSB 200mhz
CPU mult 10x
CPU voltage 1.350v

Wasn't able to do 9x345 or 3.1 ghz @ 1.5 or 1.55. Load temps got too high.

I have another question. I realized that amd has a damn patch. I didnt' know about this. It also has to do with registry keys as well and I'm not that technical with comps. I'm a newbie. I did download the amd patch and microsofts hot fix as well. I guess someone else did a zip file of the registry key so that way it would save us the trouble. But I was told that I would have to do something with the boot.ll or something like that. So what do I need to do first? Install the amd patch, then the hot fix, and the regisrty key? What order do I need to do it in?:confused:

@turbox997, you can find it here. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1371451&postcount=1 It has some updates and convenience features. I found I could run Prime for a longer time. I like it. I had to 'reset cmos' with this though. Never had to do that before. I used 623 for quite some time, then 11/14 for a couple weeks prior to this one. This one is very nice, and no, as long as you do it correctly.
@neoman, you have to keep it cool. 1.55v makes more heat than 1.39v. Yes, if you are on the line, a couple degrees will make a difference. Also maybe you will still need to configure your board slightly.
@TVFREAKAZOID, 11/14 is a dfi bios. The 704 is a modded one. Many people like it. I did not.
@zpimp, 1) yes 2) some 3)yes. Read what some others use for air cooling. It has come far and works very well.
@Jacksn, nice job. Do some research. It seems you have a good cpu. Get a good fan and get the most from it.

Go with the opty. Even with 9 multi you can still get there. I can go higher than this with more voltage. Look just a few posts back and see a 3ghz 32m pass.

Hey guys need your opinion. I getting bored with my oc and I'm going for 3ghz but I am only getting stability after 1.68v in bios and 1.64 smartgaurdian my temps are 45c load and 55c for the pwm. Am I safe???? Sort of? Not at all? Let me know what you think.

Not meant to cramp your overclock, but it's so clear that you cheated on SP2004 (prime lite) since you claim (and it shows in the time elapsed) that it's been running 24h, when the scrolling bar is so very large. Looks more like 1h at most. Just making an observation.

yasoumalaka

04-22-2006, 09:35 AM

I always thought that pwm was good up to like 70-80c. Even though most peoples are much lower. That is really the only temp that worries me. I'd like to put more voltage, but not sure how the cpu will react I've never reallly figured it out I guess because some people say that you can keep uping the volts as long as the temps are good, but then some say otherwise. What do you think?

Get a fan blowing over the RAM/ PWM area, 55C is pretty hot although with dualcores 60C is a common occurence.

PWM is regulating Vcore, having this IC blistering hot will most likely influence Vcore stability.

I feel unconformtable with PWM ic temps over 40C but i'm a bit paranoid i guess. :D

edit: Uh Sponge Bob posting in between huh? lol, nice result man but at 3269 i get 25.078 , can i have some Estonian air please? ;)

After like lots and lots of days of burning in and testing i was finally able to get my 3ghz oc stable. I realized that the major limiting factor was heat, if it got over 54C it would fail prime and sp soon after. Hits a pic of 3ghz 3 hour stable on sp2004.

http://http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9741/3ghzstable155v8hp.jpg

I have no idea how u guys can oc ur opty's so high, its ridiculous. Is it the cooling? Good steppings? I had to work hard just to get to 3ghz. :confused:

Get rid of the heatspreader, this chunk of metal is holding you back big time, second is cooling, overclocking is all about voltage and cooling. ;)

Have you lowered your multi and tested your ram for max clocks? Might be the ram that's causing instablity. Try tref 3684, drive strengths at 7/1 and maybe play with mal and rp settings. Also, I'm completely stable at 3.0ghz, but even with more voltage can't get past 3.05ghz. You might just be at the cpu's limit. Good luck. :)

My little Opteron 146 seems to get better and better over time.
50% overclock on stock voltage is pretty nice in my book:

dude. OMGzzzzzzzz :eek: thats pretty good in ANYONE's book. can i ask how you have trained it so well that it can do these things? get better over time? do you TSST it? DOMINATE? like the dog whisperer did to cartman? if there was something you have been doing over the course of the chips life, please let me know! i'd love to train mine into submission!

Ghehe, i'm gonna learn it to fetch and sit up straight for me. :D

Seriously, i burned it in with Prime95 for a couple of days when i first got it and a few weeks ago i decided to chop 'n pop it's top.

Beside that, the daily abuse (3GHz at 1.4V) seems to be enough to make this chip what it is now.
From now on it will run 3GHz at stock voltage 24/7.

I hope the max benchable frequency will go up in time as well. :)

Btw, going back some 180 (!!) or so pages back you can see how it performed when i first got it, it did Superpi 1M at 3GHz stock voltage and that was pretty much all.
Still not bad but it improved a hell of a lot over time.

aww man! i wass hopin for some super voodoo style where you remove 10mv every month or so and prime for a day and then you eventually get back to stock volts.

soooooooooo dissapointed! :P
thanks fo the reply. we'll see what my chip does for me. its at home priming and curing the AS5 at stock volts, 290x10

I've had a friend tell me about the CABYE 0543's. He tells me that they bug @ ~-40Core IIRC. The ONE CABYE Opty I tried barely booted @ -50C Windows temp @ 1.60V :rolleyes: I actually had to turn my autocascade OFF with the cpu running in order to get "hot" enough so I could boot. The chip was able to run OK (300HTT) @ ~-30C core temps while my unit was off :p:

I recently had to swap out the RAM in my 144 folding box, & start from scratch to get back to the 2.6Ghz it was at (I think @ 1.45v). Managed to get 2.9Ghz this time @ 1.52v, but using a divider since I have dirt cheap 2x256Mb sticks in there now (they could probably handle more than 214mhz but I haven't had time to eek any more out of 'em). Its been folding 24/7 since and hasn't budged @ 40c :D Some great OC's in this thread.

my 0543 starts to show issues @ 10c. it actually clocks better on air than water. took 1.75 @ 4c for 3350mhz, primed for 2 hours. and then my board tossed it's cookies. I just got a 8L res for my chiller, so I'll be trying again soon.

This is the only screen i have for you unfortunately. This was max 1M with this vcore. It did a little less then me 146 and sold it. IIRC coop put one under dry ice and had great 32M results, screens included.

Still stable with summer temps (about 25-26°C roomtemp), thats good, but even no go with just 3050MHz.. error after 1min. The only good thing on this cpu is, that i can bench it with 3150-3200MHz.. :stick:

Well this isnt too extreme like some onf you guys but I'm still new to overclocking. It's a 146. The stepping is CAB2E 0602 GPKW, the actual voltage was 1.625. It's weird it does 3ghz 32M stable at 1.475v but willn't go past 3.15 with 1.6v. I think it might be my motherboard(evga nforce 4sli) but im not sure.

Always on air with xp90Very nice results there! If that clock in your sig is right, you must have a very good 144 :)

I have much of the same hw as you.. 144 and 2x512 A-Data DDR600 ram. You have this ram also, right? I cannot run them at 2,5-3-3 even at 200 MHz on AMD platform tho :( Only 2-2-2 works! Do you have any tips?

Thanks :)

I know that most if not all of you use the DFi, so thought you might be interested in a different brand

MSI 7100 SLi NForce4 with the latest BIOS 1.9/3.9
An Opteron 170 week 0550 VPMW running fully stable since January folding currently at 2810MHz at 1.38v. CPU 40°C under load, system temp at 26°C.
2x512MB OCZ Platinum PC4800 at 2.5-4-4-10-1T (default settings) at 2.85 v.

The rig is folding 24/7

Had it at 2924MHz January to April but with 1.41v and higher CPU temp, backed it off since last month to preserve it through the summer temps!

My old Venice 3000+ ran at 2812MHz in this rig until January...brilliant little chip!

Here is pic of the latest SP2004 test on going with A64 Tweaker.

As far as tips go I can't really give any right now as I have yet to get to a point where I need to tweak things. The best advice would be to go to the ebay person where I bought this one (new: $131 shipped) and see if she has another like this. Last I knew she had 28 left but she won't tell you the stepping. I lucked out on this one being a CAB1E 0614BPMW which seems to OC like mad. Go to ebay and type in opteron 144 and look for a seller named betha???. I think there are only 3 listings so she should be easy to find. She also has 165s and 146s if not more.

need some help here guys
i am running at 2.9ghz at 1.564vcore but it isnt occt stable for more than a few minutes. it was stable at 2.8ghz with 1.560vcore and prime stable for 9hrs(cpu stress only)

i've seen others running 2.8ghz or more on stock vcore or >2.9ghz below 1.56vcore/

why is this so??

plus
how to increase memory allocated for superPI?
i noticed despite oc-ing, the superPi times do not change much and i attribute this to the memory allocated which remains stuck at 8388648, despite having 1679122432 as real available memory.
