You might be waiting a while. I think the first small wave that hits the retail channel will either be spoken for (pre-orders/back-orders) or scooped up very quickly. I doubt AMD has scheduled high volume production, especially since it sounds like this stuff sat for weeks after they were available. Retailers may have seen it solicited by AMD but didn't bother to carry it since most of their customers are end-users, not corporate giants. When/if retailers start pushing for more AMD may re-evalutate the Opterons position in the marketplace and price accordingly.

Uhhh ... what was the question again? Oh yes ... I'd go ahead and get a cheap Venice and keep an eye out for Opterons. :)

Other than the cache it'll be a stretch for it to beat your venice. Is that a fully stable 2900?

These Opteron cpus suck BIG time!!!!.

second boot @ 2900 with 1.39vcore on XP120 with papst @1000rpm

Still trying.

Today i ordered a boxed opti 144 from a german store, 163€ shipped, which i will probably receive next week.
Has somebody already seen poor overclocks?, lets say under 2,8Ghz?
Results to come...(i hope i'm lucky as you mates) ;)

Does anybody now if these opterons have a burn in period because i cant boot @ 3000mhz :(

As5 is also fresh do you guys think this Opteron is gonna suck some more?

Something is holding me back, don't know what yet, without getting any signs of instability in SuperPi or anything i just get this wierd BSOD.

In other words, i have some work to do. :D

I'm willing to bet the IHS is holding you back, take it off and try again :D :D :D

Well I can answer your question in a few minutes, im going to go for my first 3Ghz boot. Ive just finished a OCCT test on my computer at 2900mhz (290x10) with 1.44v.

Just going to update my thread then will push for max superPi clocks

10-04-2005, 11:46 AM

Now priming @ 2.9 1.4ghz but i tried to boot at 3000mhz with any voltage till 1.5v i think i have a heat problem.

maybe i just must wait till as5 is settelt.(i am only playing with this cpu for 2hours now)

10-04-2005, 12:22 PM

Well I can boot at 3.0ghz run superPi 1M and thts abt it. Thts using 1.49v. The temps start going up quite alot.

Your gonna lose money on that one mate. :D
It's not giving signs of instabilty, i can do SuperPi32M at 3070MHz but above that speed it just reboots or gives BSOD: TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN

Maybe i have to raise preamble or something.
It's not the RAM, a divider results in the same scenario. :(

I will figure it out, might be a bios issue.

ATM i'm not unhappy with 3070MHz. :)

Ferry82, i can do SuperPi1M at stock voltage at 3GHz, i must have gotten the better of the 2. :D
The PSU i bought from you helps big time!! :D

Don't forget to do a lot of burn in while the chip is still new. It seems like a lot of you guys aren't burning in much... but i've heard from at least one person that burn in is helping a lot! maybe it was gundamit.

Yup, indeed sir you are correct

:)

I will be going to bed very soon, just trying to work out the lowest voltage to leave CPU running at 280x10 with CPU Burn-In running all night, im trying out 1.325v in the bios, lavalys tells me my voltage is 1.3v.

CPU is at 42C while doing this, hopefuuly it wont crash while I am sleeping

A 3200 venice on air doing 300x10 is rare, I think I may have seen a few posts at that speed. For that matter any venice doing 3000MHz on air is very rare so there's not much to compare.

Well I dropped to the 9x multi and got a higher max HTT but my temps went way high during my 8m run. 52C maxed out during the middle of the run. that is with 305HTT w/ 5:6 divider on the ram. I think i'm topped out right now. the ambient room temp isnt too high either. I think it's still pretty good for a MSI board lol vs all your DFI'ers. I'll give it another go later tonight when it's colder and see how it goes but burning in would maybe yeild better results. I think I might just sell this chip and revert back to my sandy.

Pretty damn expensive, but it will probably go down and if they OC like the single core, it'd definetly be worth it :) Depending on preliminary results, I may be selling my X2 3800

the first 146 CPUs delivered are 0530APMW...fingers crossed the rest of them would be the same

groove my man you've orders how many chips again 2,3,4....surely one of them will be a 3GHz 24/7 one......but you and I know that 1MB cache gives a boost so even if it's a 2.9GHz stable you are still going to have a quicker chip than your Venice........once you pop the IHS you are looking even better for a 3Giga :D

Today I finally got to play around with my 148. :cool:

I didn't mess around with the stock cooling and stuck it straight under my Prommie. I had some major headaches as this is the first time I've needed to use dividers to achieve my maximum overclock, but after checking up on one of eva's divider guides I got it running nicely. Changing Max Async Latency to '9' made a world of difference.

I've only been checking Super Pi 1m so far but here's a brief rundown of what I've managed:-

1.450v - 298 x 11 (5:6) 3280MHz
1.475v - 302 x 11 (5:6) 3322MHz
1.500v - 305 x 11 (5:6) 3355MHz (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=38172&stc=1)
1.525v - 308 x 11 (5:6) 3396MHz (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=38171&stc=1)
1.550v - 311 x 11 (5:6) 3421Mhz (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=38168&stc=1)

Thats as far as I've pushed it and still haven't tightened up the timings yet.

10-06-2005, 09:44 AM

If we really want to know what the silicon being used with these chips is, I think the first five letters of the second line indicate it. When people were buying the mobiles these first five letters were the same as the FX53's and people were getting similar clocks (I love my 3000+ DTR) both were CAA2C. I have seen a pic of an FX57 w/ CABCE, and the opterons have CABGE so pretty close and might mean same assembly line/silicon

Edit:

It appears as those the 3700+ and 4000+ are CABGE, while the FX's are CABCE, so it seems more likely these are the same as 3700+ and 4000+ and not the FX

ozzimark

10-06-2005, 09:57 AM

SILICON! no e

but anway, i agree with you. the stepping (CABNE, CABGE, etc etc) probably has a lot to do with the mask used, which production line, transistor type, maybe even wafer quality?
this probably has a pretty large effect on how the chip is going to perform, excluding random defects and such.

The first 146s and 144s were CABNE 0530APMWs and the newer ones (148 included) seem to be CABGE 0536VPAWs, so we really have no way to tell what is responsible for any differences in OCability as there isn't any similarity in the steppings (i.e., CABGE vs CABNE comparo would need all else equal while the converse is the same).

EDIT: computersmsa....that's a slightly dissappointing result :(

Yes AFI 2 x 512 BH-5 @ 244, surprised that it makes that much difference tbh, must be the bank interleaving because my timings are pretty far from optimal at the minute.

luckily i havnt had to increase the voltage yet, still 1.39. I hope this means I can reach 3 - 3.1 without having to go above 1.55.

You have 144, 146 and 148 now? Just an impuse buy when i saw Charlie's EWiz thread. I was a little irritated by their non-live inventory that only updates at regular intervals throughout the day. (And as long as they show one in stock you can place hundreds in your cart.) I got an e-mail telling me it was out of stock but they were expecting another shipment on Thursday. They shipped regular UPS on Thursday on it arrived this morning. I live close to EWiz.

I was expecting a "bad one" since I figured all the CABNE from week 30 wouldn't be included in their restock. I didn't expect to get an older week and a stepping that has only been seen in a drcrawn thread featuring a 940 socket CPU. Strange.

I just slapped it in the same water cooled test rig I used for the last two Opterons. I'm using some Twinmos CH-UTT I had laying around. Please don't start hammering on me about the slow SuperPi time! I'm running the memory slow and loose right now because i'm just want to play with the CPU. I'll try to tweak it a little after I get a feeling of where the CPU will top out in the test rig. Maybe I'll start reading some SuperPi tip/tricks/tweaks guides when I find some time.

My gut tells me this stepping/week won't do as well as the first two CPUs I got. The slightly higher volts to get to 3ghz would seem to confirm that, but i think it'll still do better than the average San Diego.

10-07-2005, 05:07 PM

Alright, I've resumed benching my Opteron....couple of quick observations/questions.

1) 2.5-3-3 does not work particularly well on my Opteron (like stability cuts out 10-15MHz lower--A HUGE drop), but 2.5-4-3 will scale like it did on my 4400+. At which speeds a divider with my CH-UTT is better, so my TCCD is out of the mix for my testing.
2) My temps are a good 10C cooler under load this time (IDK why, I had PERFECT contact last time) but my OC isn't any better--I'll try more volts (I'm only at 1.5V right now). 3175MHz is still my max for now.
3) I have Ricky tweak enabled (and did last time) because I only simply swapped out my 4400+....is there a way to disable it without a whole new install? I have a feeling temps are being negatively effected by it.
4) Is there any setting/configuration that you guys want me to specifically try?

Looks like the 148 I got won't get to 3.1ghz 32M stable on water. Ceiling seems to be about the same as my 144. I'm doing a little burn in right now with Prime (in "large ftt" setting since someone mentioned it was more stressful) at 2.8ghz and 1.3v. Hopefully it'll still be running in the morning. Maybe the burn-in will give it a little more headroom.

Since my really really bad FX-55 clawhammer there was no way in hell I was gonna spend silly money on a chip again, that dog of a chip nearly put me off oc'ing for life.

When I saw that thread by PRTeamJapan I knew I'd found my next cpu. To get results like this from a relatively cheap chip has really put the spring back in my step! It's great to see that pretty much everyone with these Optys is really happy with them, so often in the past we get all the hype about a new stepping/model and then results for the masses like us don't quite live up to expectations.

And yeah last night my heart was thumpin' like mad..... It still is! :woot:

Your clocks aren't too bad either ;)

Meatfrog the IHS off will not bring so much.At HWLXX in the Thread its not always getting better from the Temps. Its an CABNE an FX Stepping they are a little bit hotter then other Steppings. But they are stable even at Aircooling. Need a good Watercooling to get stable over 3xxxMhz at Stockcore may be more or less the 1,36Vc.But 10K will bring me much more Mhz stable.Sorry for my English but i´m from germany.
