looks similar to mine that one

you should be able to do 32M in mid to high 34xxMHz

[sofarfrome]

Those CAB1Es are fine. Mine will run 3.1GHz on stock voltage and TCCD ram. However I am currently using BH5 and I have bumped the Vcore a little to address the memory controller issue and have gotten to 3.2GHz. I would like to go higher but I would hate to fry this proc.

[DXL]

Opteron 165 CCBBE 0610DPMW, 3.0GHz on air. Bootable en stable in windows. Not 100% Prime stable (just few hours), need more vcore for that and therefore water.

your blend test is not valid. only 1 test passed in 20minutes
you must use less ram because prime used your swap. that's the reason you have only 37° "load" with your freezer 64 pro :p:

i'll receive Ã:banana: CAB1E 0614 DPCW soon and it"ll do 3GHz on stock volts aircooled

I've done four 32m pi's with this chip. The one above, a 20.37..a 20.36.. and this one, a 20m35s :http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9374/vvf2zo.th.jpg (http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vvf2zo.jpg) .
Also did a validate for the heck of it..3663. http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=98026
May try more tonight as I believe it can. So far it has done everything all the way through. The validate could also go higher I think as I did not really want it to blink out. It is a 0543FPMW. I have to run with SysTool on to monitor temps.

[Shampoo]

Oh wow all these 144's killing me. I got a 146 because I had read they overclocked well.

I'm @ 2.9GHz with 1.5v not prime stable. Had it running for 7 hours then it quit.
Could be a memory issue, but my ram is memtest stable.

I changed my TRP from 2 to 3 and that made things more stable so my prime run of 7 mins changed to 7 hours. Now I'm running a cas 2.5 to 3 and I will see how long it ran once I get home tonight. I'm at school studying on my laptop. :(

I want to hit 3GHz~!!!! I have a CAB2E 0546 UPMW on a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D.

Hopefully I can get things stable at 2.9GHz, then I will try for 3GHz. Any others think my baby can to 3GHz?

My temps are a bit off. I was using the stock heatsink/fan, not the heatpipe one, but the crappy one, so I went out and got an XP-90C since I already had a 92mm panaflo medium at home. Now my temps with 1.5vcore gives me about 52degrees celcius full load.

I think I should try reseating the heatsink.

I've read that just adding a dab of thermal paste in the middle does it for these AMD64 processors, but does it really?

How do you guys do it?

I think my temps are too high.

Comments? :)

I just got my chip from a fellow forum member and was noticing something funny.

2700mhz - 300x9 - ram @ 1T 5:6 divider-246mhz 8-4-4-3 - passes pi, fails prime in mins.

2700 - 300x9 - ram @ 2T 1:1 - 300mhz - 8-4-4-3 been priming the past hour or so.

WOW, 1t is certainly crazy on the ram that it wouldnt be stable at 246 1T but 300 2T is more stable (so far)

CAB2E 0540FPMW

Also guys, i might get a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4-D from a trade and wondering if this is the same board (performance wise) to a Ultra D? I want to give my opty what it needs and 333mhz =) I cant do that with my Asus or Abit board. Im sure this chip will do it, but the person i got it from had it on a Ultra D. Would this be a good choice? I want something that is known to do over 330fsb...and i see everyone in this thread that has a opty runs on ultra d's.

[HighLife]

Well, 300mhz for ram crashed about 2 hours into it.

Im hoping ..dam shame =( going to get the DFI board in a few weeks, guess ill just settle till then.

[xforce]

Hmm, where are you fellas getting these fantastic cab1e opty 144's ?
I'm kinda interested .

I have a CAB2E 0540FPMW, got it from a fellow [H] member.

ohh, i cant wait till my DFI gets here....im hoping will let me hit 2.9 =) Since my boards HTT seems to crap out at around 307.

What stepping is the Opty144? You may be at the CPU limit. You may also want to try a different divider. The 5:6 isn't so friendly to me. SOmething to do with the mem controller perhaps?

my opty is CAB2E 0540FPMW. This chip was at 3ghz on a Ultra-D, which is what it was ran at before me. I know its able to hit at least 2.8.

All reviews i read about this asus board, put its max FSB at 305-306.

Even if i dropped my multi to 5x and go to 307, i start getting HD errors.

[HighLife]

Im going to get a NF4-D and mod it to ultra. Also going to try some BH5 in on my asus and see what i can get out of it. So far 2670, ram at 251 7-3-3-3 2T is the highest i can do on my rig in my sig....going to swap Asus for a DFI and test some BH5. See what i can come up with.

For a 1M run must i give him 1.75V :slapass:

But i have however a 3GHz SS :)

His stepping is : CAB2E 0548FPMW ( sounds not bad )

[Viss]

Nice! What temp? Mine bugged out at 330 with too low temps as wel, i bet it wil do 340~350 with less cold. Give it a go.

[girth_maul]

Not sure exactly, as i killed a lot of things for speed. Probably about -15 load i would guess. I wonder if i try raising the fsb using clockgen and priming at the same time would help getting past the 330 mark?

[Viss]

Have you tried ricky tweak? The acpi multidriver wil get idle temp up and load wil be about the same as idle temp using that driver. It helped me getting from 330 to 353 which is enough :D Rightclick the acpi uniprocessor (device manager, computer) thats in use now, properties, update driver, choose driver yourself option and pick acpi multi.

If you are using XP and you want to switch back to uni you have to use the "use previous driver option". In win 2000 you can do the same as above but choose the uni driver again (again NOT in XP! the uni wont show up).

I prefer this over priming/raising HTT.

This is me max with uni driver:

Wow, that's a big jump! I have to admit i'd completely forgotten about the coldbug kicking in at higher fsb. Will give this a go when i have a spare evening. Btw, does the tweak kick in straight after posting has finished, or does it only start once fully into windows?

[Viss]

After posting while windows starts afaik. I booted with 330 and raised in windows using cg.

Holy mackeral!

I have been away for a few and I can't believe how much AMD Opterons have improved in stepping and performance overhead! 3200Mhz is simply outstanding!

I remember people posting that AMD cores didn't have anything left beyond 3Ghz a few months back when the duo's made there introductions. Now look.... 3200mhz :slobber: That must be stepping into core 2 territory no?

Anyways, nice to see these numbers! - I might invest in just one more chip if the stepping proves consistent :)

Also in a few days this CPU will Be NAKED ...:toast:
Vcore is still very low comparing to the others so this give me hope to reach 3200MHZ stable and 3300 perhaps Benchable.
Image what this CPU can do on SubZero system.(if its free of Cold BUG);)

Now regarding Stepping ... is CCBBE 0617FPMW and serial - wafer is χχχχχχ0053

hey ive had a 148 for awhile, and ive been having probems getting it to clock well, as it sits in my sig( 264X11 1.475 volts) im really stable. if i drop to a 10 or 9x multy i can hit 290fsb on this mobo( i think thats all it has to give, tops out at 300, it was cheap)

currently i am hitting a mear 40*c at prime load for a hours, BUT if i bump my FSB up even 2 mhz, i cant prime for more the 5mintues....

im content with this chip doing 2.9 stable and under 1.5volts, but id really love to see something over 3 (i know im maxed by 290X11 cause of mobo) but id be happy with 272X11,and im cool wiht upping the volts as well, just not sure if itll help much.

ive got my HTT withen stable settings for this board and my ram is aslo stable up to 240 mhz, runing a 166 div to keep me under....

can anyone give me some pointers? feel free to PM me help as to not clutter this thread of holy optys :P much thanks for anyhelp!

i love seeing what these 165 etc.. can do under water and phase, those are jsut plain out killer clooks!!!

is it 3d stable?

[Clay]

Yeah It'll do everything except prime. Can't seem to figure that out though. mems are good with those timings to 307fsb 1-1. Oh well no worries eh.

[Llello]

My 146's htt is at 333, multi at 9. Could I in theory hit 3.3 ghz? My mems not that good, 2gb ocz 3200. Any tips on tweaking that?

Topless Opteron 148 0543FPMW @ 264*11 w/ 1:1 g.skill hz @ 3-4-4-8.
Bios is set to 1.525 core, 2.75 vddr, everything else is stock.
Full Load cpu temp = 42'C (core @ 53'C) with air cooling ^_^

I'm pretty sure my an8 ultra reports voltages slightly higher than they really are. This is 24/7 speed btw - I there's a brick wall at roughly ~2950 where more voltage just doesn't help.



hey ive had a 148 for awhile, and ive been having probems getting it to clock well, as it sits in my sig( 264X11 1.475 volts) im really stable. if i drop to a 10 or 9x multy i can hit 290fsb on this mobo( i think thats all it has to give, tops out at 300, it was cheap)

I have exactly the same problem, I can't push fsb mhz higher than ~267 without failing prime within minutes. I'd really like to see something over ~3ghz but I don't think it's going to happen with reasonable aircooling volts. I think with a nice WC setup you could boost core volts up to ~1.65 and see some action with these chips.

It seems like we're limited by die heat right now, the CPU sensor on my board never hits anything higher than ~42/43'C but with cpu volts >1.55 I hit coretemp > tmaxcase on the CPU pretty quickly and then start to fail prime (ie: it's great for ~2-3 minutes until my cooling can't keep up). BTW, what stepping is your 148?

[saber63]

yeah im running at 263*11 its prime stable for days :P

and im only at 1.5 bios, which reads 1.47ish in speadfan, so im getting aroun 37-40*c while priming.

my stepings are in my sig :P but if you cant see them..... cab2e 0546bpmw

*shrug* im thinking of getting water onto this bad boy, as im getting a lanparty board soon *woot* on i pulled the IHS off one day cause i was really board :P i saw a 5* drop while priming, of course this was when i had a :banana::banana::banana::banana:tttyyyyy heat sink, at 250*11 with 1.45 volts itd hit 45*c!!!

im also going to be getting a athlon 3700+ so ill be able to compare the chips, should be fun!

im really happy to know im not the only one with this wall! thanks for the info!

Does 2x512MB ram sticks and 2x1GB ram sticks have somewhat the same stressing effect on the memory controller? Or does 2x1GB runs alot heavier?

In what way will this affect an overclock ?

As for myself, I have 4x512MB and this is just :mad: , got 2x512MB out of my system and it runs alot better, overclocks better for the cpu and the ram. Though this is nothing new, my question is, is it smart to sell this 4 sticks and get myself 2x1GB sticks ?

[turbox997]

hmm I've been tweaking my chip on and off for almost a year. You know the game, you think you're satisfied with your current setup then you come on here and see some guy with a similar chip who runs much higher and feel bad and you're tempted to push the chip more!

I was running at many different settings for a while, my last one was 2.85ghz @ 1.376v, LDT bus was at 1.3v, chipset at 1.6.

I specifically ran lower chipset because mine kept on overheating. Now I come in here and see people running LDT bus at 1.4v and chipset at 1.7v.

Were you guys just doing it for benchies or do you run that 24/7 and plan to for a couple of years? I do notice however, running higher LDT's does wonders!! I'm priming again, 2.87ghz @ 1.37V w/ LDT bus at 1.4 volts.

Hi guys

Im thinking about updating my trusty 3200+ to a dual core model 'cos of Vista coming and Half-Life 2 will get multi core support along with Episode 2.

[rap mode] My rig is in tha sig, my homies [/rap mode]

I was thinking about Opteron 170 ( 2.0 GHz, 939 of course) since I can get it for pretty cheap (209€).

Currently my 3200+ is rock solid at 2.5 GHz (FSB:MEM - 1:1), but I would like to have the opteron at least at 2.5 GHz as well. Preferably above, of course.

You guys think this is a good idea?

Peace ;)

Got my Opty 165 stable @ 2.9G 1.4v. It'll run at 2.95G, but not stable. Gonna have to try the volt mod on my lil Assrock mobo and shoot for 3G+.

Sorry wrong thread, eh?

[Thasp]

No one here probably has this motherboard but I thought it was worth mentioning.

If you use the DFI NF4-DAGF, you have to use the August 2005 BIOS with it. Any later BIOS will cause it to shut down, when the computer is not being loded even at stock speeds with good temps. This is an opteron-specific issue because it never happened with my Venice. It occurs in both mobos.

I hope this helps someone who is having a similar problem.

Right now the specs in my sig are stable. I went for 2.85 GHz at 1.6v, and it failed dual prime at nine hours, so I clocked back down to 2.81. :(

Everyone that's wound up with a CCBBE 165 or 170 recently has had good luck with them ^^ I have an 0616 XPMW. Other people have had good luck with 0615 or 0617 as well, they all seem to do 2.8/2.9 on low volts and 3.0 on 1.5V or 1.55V.

[Pavy]

Well every supplier here are to messed up to give out steppings. Since they frankly don't know it.

Need to find a good supplier here in the netherlands, so if anyone have some thoughts bout it. Let me know.

[Zeus]

Give the guys at icomputers a call, they're usually helpfull with finding a good stepping.

I bought my SD there, CABGE stepping.. same with an old venice. Stepping was absolute terrible, so were the OC results. But I'll try none the less.

Hey! I got my Opteron165 2 weeks ago, but during the time i've been rebuilding my watercooling (Dual pumps). So i've been working my as off. Anyhow, i'm up running again and the CCBBE 0616 XPMW is doing a great work. It was a bit hard to get it running over 3000mhz, but after some serious mem-tweaking i'd suddenly reached over 3100. I ended up with around 340 FSB. IHS removed ofcourse =)

Return with validation tomorrow. Got'a sleep.

How much did removing the IHS buy you temp wise? Core 1 on mine is 10'C hotter than core 0.

[c.freak]

Actually i was to lazzy checking temps with IHS on. The same with my 146.

My temp differs from like 3 to 4 degrees between core 0 and 1 . Smartguardian says 24-25C and core temp v0.94 tells me 29. Im not sure which i should trust. Anyway, time for some clocking.

Okay, let me just make sure you realize what you're doing. Chips get tested in rigorous enviornments and let's say an Opteron 170 chip can't handle 2GHz with available error safe headroom, they will downclock it to an Opteron 165 speed and test it again in the same enviornemt, and if it passes, it is boxed up and shipped as an Opteron 165 chip. Overclocking get's rid of an error room that downclocking the chip provided, in other words, your chip will be more prown to fail. You will also shorten the lifespan of the chip, regardless of coolant, and no matter how "stable" the chip is, there's always tiny errors being processed each cycle that seem "unnoticable". Overclocking, on the other hand, gives you extra performance for less money, and it's a very addictive hobby. I'd say just be sure you're going to replace your chipset/CPU/RAM sets within 10 years and you'll probably be okay Overclocking. You may have known about everything I've told you, I just wanted to be sure you knew what you're doing to your chip. In response to your question, DO NOT just find the top speeds that people say and jack the clock speed up that high, take baby steps, up the clock speed 100MHz at a time and test it, then if it passes up it 100 more MHz, test it again, and when it fails to pass as "stable" bump it down 50MHz at a time till the chip can stabilize, that's the best way to OC it in my limited experience with Opteron Chips.

Hi, I want to buy an opty 144, and ive saw some of them on ebay. I have some steps to choose, and i want to know which could be the best for overclock ON AIR

here are the steppings: CAB2E 0619SPAW , CAB2E 0546FPMW , CAB1E 0615BPMW

Opteron 150 CACJE 0603 CPMW
Is it good and are there anyone who have test one? Is it have cold bug ?

this thread is like.... DEAD? :banana: :banana:

Well finally i bought an opty 144 with this step: OSA144DAA5BN CAB1E0615BPMW 145417AD60058

U think it will oc as the 0614 week? i hope so...

[Draxx]

Why didn't you go dual core?

[m_enanos]

well i dont move to a dualcore because i dont need it, and i prefer single core because are more cheaper and have better performance on games. I bought this opteron cab1e on Ebay, and it cost to me 32euros (40$ +-) + ship cost, and its a NEW item :woot:

what do u think about this cab1e 0615 ? Will it overclock as 0614 cab1e week ?
I hope so...

It will be a replacement board for my ASRock that I'm still using here :banana:

I'm curious how high I can get my brandnew Opteron 165 on the DFI.
It's doing now stable 9x300Mhz. @ 1.41 Vcore
Running with G-Skill 2GBHX 3-3-3-7 1T @ 245Mhz.

One thing is for sure, once you had a DFI,.. you wanna go back to one, I use to have a DFI Lanparty UT nf3 250GB :D

Hey!
Just recently bought Opteron 175 (CCBBE 0613RPMW). Runnig now at 218X11=2389, Vcore=default, HT=1000

Dang some nice overclocks here, hopefully I'll get a good stepping for my Opty 165

[Mrazaq]

Hi! <-- new here
Just got my 144 yesterday... Pushed it to 325x9 so far, on stock Vcore (my DFI overvolts a bit)
BUT, i can run only 100MHz RAM divider stable, when i switch to 133, it won't even Boot. So now Im running my rams at 325MHz using 2.5-3-3-6 timings... But they can do 495/cl3-4-4-8. Is there any solution to use 133divider? Maybe some BIOS? I use 711 now. rig in sig :D
Thanks, and sorry for my crappy english. :rolleyes:
I don't know if this is the best place for my question, the forums are soo big

I may buy this one. What would you say? A good stepping?

depends - if you're going to use phasechange cooling, yes it's a good stepping. for air/water, expect around 2.8ghz. 3ghz is unlikely but a possibility if you're very lucky.

Same as yours? :)
It is without ISF, is it a problem with air cooling?
3ghz would be nice though...

[Synic]

Im looking at getting a 180 to run and A8N32 but not sure about the 13 muilt. I know they are already clocked fairly high, as you can tell by the 2.4 ghz but does anyone think I should be aiming a little lower like a 170 or 175 and then OC?

Im sort of interested in stability too, but, hey, you gota try and turn chips up with a little OC'ing.

Got 4 X 512 3200XL corsair to plug in as well. Suggestions anyone..

[joshua7]

It should have a 12 multi. 12x200, isn't it?

[Synic]

It could actually. I thought it had a 13 multi, or I could be thinking of the 185.

My main concern is trying not to waste my 4 sticks of 3200XL so I want the E6 stepping. I have a 4600X2, and I was under the impression it would come with the E6 stepping, but, alas, it can come with an E4 or an E6 and, I, being the lucky guy I am, scored the E4 stepping. 3200XL is too good to waste and I was hoping the 180 or 185 would be able to put it to use.

[kuhla]

I was mostly trying to push my memory but here is me horsing around on air cooling.

I must say, its a very flamboyant setup you have there. I should take a pic of my box... looks like a Frankenstein thing. Had to put some pop rivets and tin metal in to fix up an 'error' in my cooling setup.

[Synic]

Anyone want to talk me out of this fixation I have with geting a 180 Opteron. 165's are a dime a dozzen and are showing some decent OC results but I cant seem to get the '180' signature out of my head. Someone please talk some sense into me...

[joshua7]

New question: which Opteron 170 should I get?
????? 0609FPAW or CCBWE 0550UPMW

[Nil Einne]

Unless you can find out the complete stepping of the 0609, not really much to say. According to http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=96900

CCBWE 0550UPMW (Some are crappy actually) is 3g
CCB1E 0609FPAW is also 3g
CCBWE 0609FPAW is 'Unconfirmed precise averages, but seems to be 2.8-2.9'

So you could go with 0550 and get the some that are crappy (bad) or the 3g ones (good). Or you could go with 0609FPAW CCBWE (bad) or CCB1E (good) or something that may be worse or better...

If you give me $180 (US, NZ, Canadian whatever you choose just make sure it's not less then say US$130) I will be able to buy an Opty 165 and you can just buy a Opty 165 and be happy! You can even add it to you sig!!!

[LordofDoom]

That was the weirdest post I've ever read. Moving on--->

How is this thread still alive? It should be as dead as the opty in my sig which I think my mobo fried when it died.

Good day, folks. If a few of you wouldn't mind assisting by way of a purchase recommendation, please view my post here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2189013#post2189013

Any info is greatly appreciated. Oh, can anyone explain to me how with all socket-939 Athlon's specs defining their HT @2000MHz, and all socket-939 Opteron's specs defining their HT @1000MHz, the two are supposed to be comparable, etc, with Opterons usually offering slightly higher performance, etc? I can only guess that their HT speeds are actually the same yet are listed differently for some reason. Its one of those OPty vs FX things that has been irritating the hell out of my analytical thought process. Thanks folks!

[Nil Einne]

the HT is DDR so it's sometimes quoted as 2000mhz, sometimes as the more accurate 1000mhz (similar to the way DDR400 ram is sometimes said to be 400mhz). But both are the same. The next gen/K10 with AM2+ will have HyperTransport 3 which supports up to 2600mhz. I don't know what Barcelona etc will launch at.

HyperTransport 2 supports up to 1400mhz from what I can tell but AFAIK 1000mhz is the highest ever used by AMD.

BTW, it appears you've posted the wrong link. Either that or your trying something funny. Either way, I strongly recommend you change the link ASAP

Hello

this is my first post on this thread.

i have an asus a8v deluxe rev2 a 1gig kit of geil pc3200 ultra x (bh5) and i have an opteron 144 coming from a mate in a day or 2 to play with.
is there anything i should be aware of when oc`ing , will let you know the stepping as soon as i get it

cheers
pob

[pobolycwm]

These are the results of the first play with my 144 opty cab2e (forgotten the rest of the number) only problem i have is i am using an asus a8v deluxe rev 2 board and the fsb only goes to 300 and the ram will only give me 2.8v

[knob]

Did some tweaking of my CPU and RAM. THis is what i end up with

opty 170 CCB1E XXXX (cant remember :D)

[knopflerbruce]

New Opty 152 has arrived!!:D

I will do some more SERIOUS testing on this one as soon as I can get some better cooling (TEC etc), I have a strong feeling it's much, much hotter than what core temp says.

In fact, the temp DROPS by 1 degree when I go from idle to orthos lmao. Just can't be right, even if it's a naked core on water.

dunno my crap luck again gets 146 cab2e 0604 cpaw only got 2.7ghz @ 1.45v like 50+c at load. Ethier that or its im running a crap amd cooler which i sort of washed the paste off using water and im using some generic paste which i dont think i applied properly :(

[oasked]

What kind of temperatures do you guys get with your Opterons?

I just managed to salvage a "broken" Opteron 165 off eBay (I had to bend a lot of pins back though :D). I'm cooling it with a Thermalright XP-120, but even at stock it goes up to 50&#176;C at load. At 2.6Ghz (stock volts) it goes up to 60&#176;C.

Any ideas?

whats the stepping?

[PyroFire]

mine at 42ish semi load up to 45 if the fans are at full speed, depends on fans since i use a fan controller A LOT, its an opty 146 cab2e 0604 cpaw @ 2.95ghz 1.55v, almost got it stable at 3ghz 1.630v, trying tomorrow for 3ghz at 1.65v if i cant get that to run aquamark stably im calling it quits at 2.95 :( REALLY wanted 3ghz

[oasked]

whats the stepping?

I have no idea, I was too excited to note it down when I put the chip in. :rolleyes:

The CPU seems stable at 2.6Ghz (testing with Orthos now at stock volts), but the temperatures are just ridiculous - up to 64&#176;C load. :eek:

^ Wow that's crazy.

Update on my Opteron 165, now 52&#176;C load, at 2.6GHz. Still at stock volts, but this time the layer of AS Ceramique is a little thinner. :)

Opty 146 CAB2E 0602 ~ This is my 100&#37; stable 24/7 speed. runs at 37* Load under water. Great little chip..

The 1000Mhz OC has also nocked 18s of my SuperPi!

[crunchie]

Thought I would give mine a little run. Zalman 9500. Load temps were low 50C's with a 20C ambient.

[pcaddict]

I thought amd cpu's are very bad for overclocking..

Hmm, thread resurrection. Notice the date of the first post and the thread title? This is with old s939 AMD chips, which kicked the pants off of Intel chips back in the day. Not modern sAM2 Opteron chips ;)

The Opteron AM2's aren't too bad - but they're hard to find (at reasonable prices). I have an F3 1218 here, maybe I'll give it a shot once I'm done benching all my s754 stuff:D

My opty 180 is still powering one of my comps, very reliable! :)

[Aphex_Tom_9]

I posted about my opteron 5 years ago in this thread...seems like a long time ago.
found this shot on my old hard drive from 2006, this is as fast as i ran it day-to-day, i could go to 3.5 but it wasn't stable.
loved that system. and yes it did kick the pants off intel back then.
today it runs at stock in a family computer.

[[XC] Oj101]

Cooling? Very nice chip if that's water. What was the most you got out of it? Cold bug?

[Aphex_Tom_9]

it was under mach II phase, i have a screenshot of 3504mhz somewhere...didn't seem to have a cold-bug.

I had an old ASUS socket 939 MB, 4GB RAM DDR 400 Kingston, ASUS 8800 Ultra .... and I decided to buy an Opteron 180 .... delivery next week ! Revival :)

Great, BH-5 RAM?

The MB is a Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (official support for Opteron), but the RAM ...:confused:
I'll update this information and shall bench asap.
