The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

[Vapor]

My room temp was 23C!! That's not fair at all, LOL!

[Overgloc]

Kinna late for the party but is this the right Processor??

That would be the 940 socket version...

[Overgloc]

So any U.S. Site have the 939?? Thanks for the head up

[Eljefe62]

Let us know if you find some... Mine has been backordered for days now.

[fullup3]

Ok, some early results from my 146 CABNE 0530APMW.

I am on a msi neo2, which seems to undervolt and has very inconsistant voltages. They bounce all over the place.

I have done 32m @ 2800 with 1.392v
32m @ 2900 with 1.456v all of these on zalman 7700cu
1m @ 3006 with 1.536v.

My 32m runs At 3006 fail a little more than half way through. Not sure if it is temp related or what.
I don't want to push any more temps/volts through this chip until I can get better cooling, or until my room temp cools off. 72degrees F in my room now.

This is by far the best chip I've ever had. I feel I could be limited also by my psu. It is a generic 450w that came with my case...possibly my next upgrade.

Maybe after some burn in and settling of the as5, my results will improve.
Also, I am really still a noob, and don't know all the tricks yet!!

Now i´m testing at 16,5C Roomtemperature!
2850Mhz at 1,26Vc and Prime Custom FFTs in place 15Minutes 8-4096.
Heres the Screenie. Prime is running since 1h30Min. Load is 38-39°C.
Cooling is on Air with an XP90 Alu and an Thermaltake blower+ an 120mm Blower right before to get low Temps. By an opened Case. :banana:

Yeah but thats too cold für me.Up to 15°C its not too cold for me.
After 2hours Prime Custom i´m gonna raise the clocks a little bit higher at same Vcore. Wanna reach 2900Mhz at 1,264Vc on Air.

Heres the Screen after 2Hours Priming at 2853Mhz by 1,264Vcore.

You were just plain unlucky when it came to your 144, maybe you should have taken the shorter box. :D My 144 runs almost the same as the 146, may run the same as I haven't done much benching with a bad board. The 144 will do 3000@1.4v and the 146 takes 1.45v. I still think the price/performance is in the 144. I was just blessed to get two good chips.

If you want me to try out your mb to see how your new 146 will do, I'll fit it into my schedule. :)

[ozzimark]

the mobo is out of my hands. it actually died, thus an RMA :stick:
i'll be sure to play with the 144 in the new mobo, just to make sure the old one was wasn't messing with stuff. the large difference between max 1M and max screen, despite the low temps perplex me.. and the troubles with memory over 2.5-3-3 timing :nono:

either way, everyone will know what the deal was once the board gets here

And thats the Result of the Session tonight at Aircooling by Rt15,5°C.It was only for 2Hours and 11Minutes stabele at Prime Custom FFTs in place.

Maybe. You can see in post 703 this 148 needed 1.424v to get 32M stable at 3ghz. Now after running over 10+ hours of Prime at both 2.8ghz and 2.9ghz I can do the same thing at 1.392v.

dude your chip is also something people have never seen before at ridiculously low volts and ridiculously high temps..............this just looks like it's on the opposite side.........none of you can put 1.65V on your Opterons without blowing up your room......doesn't mean this one is the same.....it could be a voltage loving Opteron.....i guess once we see a bunch of other results it will show some consistency but 2x0536 CPUs so far that love voltage you've got to start thinking maybe there is something there rather than pointing fingers :slapass:

hey guys i get my 146 tomarrow but was interested in know if these have problems at 1:1 ? i was reading over at another forum where guys said we over at xtremesystems were getting crazy ocs but we were using dividers and not running 1:1?? ive read this whole thread and i dont realy recall any of you guys saying the mem controler on these puppys hated 1:1... anyone confirm this? i thought these had the awsome mem controlers?

thx perc,

[HermS]

No issues with mine, when I did my initial 1:1 testing I achieved the same ram clocks I was reaching with my old FX-55 0.13. The thing is I only use winbond based RAM so I have to run with dividers to reach the higher CPU speeds. I believe all of MM's tests were at 1:1 too, and he got above 300Mhz with his ballistix... I don't think you have anything to worry about.

[fullup3]

Ok, after testing my 146 CABNE 0530APMW overnight, it seems to need a little more volts than some of the other ones like it to clock really well. This might be due to my board, or my cooling.
My max case temp of the chip is rated at 65degrees. I'm wondering how hot is too hot to run this chip safely.
I need more than 1.5v to prime any higher than 2900mhz. At that voltage, prime causes my chip to run at about 57 to 58 degrees under load.
I want to go higher with my clocks, but I also am afraid to damage the chip.
what do you guys think.
Should I go ahead and push a little further, or should I stay where I am until I can get some water cooling in a month or two.

[Deus Falsus]

From what I understand CABNE=fx quality, CABGE=sd quality, thus cabne is best.

[koosjebram]

With cabge went to about 2450mhz on stock vcore....
After that it needed upping al the time.
I seemed to be stuck on 2800 now cause my mobo can't give more vcore
(neo platty with 1.36 bios)
Temp barely exceeds 50c on load with thermaltake beetle
(45 with bios 1.8 up)

[ozzimark]

From what I understand CABNE=fx quality, CABGE=sd quality, thus cabne is best.
here's my thought. i don't have any evidence to back this up other than the sightings of some FX CABNE's and the temperature issues..

you know how the turions have "low power" transistors that run cool, but also don't clock quite as well?
instead of putting in more low power transistors, replace them all with "high power" transistors that clock better, but draw much more power. this explains both the scaling, and the temperature issues with the CABNE's. :toast:

[187(V)URD@]

It seems to be very weird. More and more people with the 536vpaw reporting high volts and considering the high volts a low temperature.

In 2 weeks another batch of opterons will arrive, we'll seen other results very soon.

[mongoled]

The amnt of voltage tht tht CPU can take is nothing short of amazing, I never thought tht I would see the day were an AMD CPU would return to the high voltage loving tht this particular batch of CPU's seem to like.

While many of us r struggling to keep the temps down, it seems it is an effort to get the temps up with tht particular batch!! Keep us updated with those results, i think I will continue with the burn in, my CPU dosnt seem to want to run 3Ghz prime stable, but thts another story.........

I know that this was to ozzimark but I would like to address it as I do have both a 144 & 146 same stepping cabne. Here is my take so far.

1. Both cpu's hit 3000MHz at OCCT stable with ease. The 144@1.4v and the 146@1.45v.

2. With very limited testing on good air the max so far is 3050MHz-144 and 3080MHz-146.

3. I think these are no different then the venice in that the top oc on the very good chips are all about the same max,ie,the x doesn't mean greater oc.

The other thing Ive notice that has nothing to do with these cpu's is that there are sure a lot of dfi mb's that go bad. Mine went bad right after I put the 144 in it and another new dfi board lasted a day and it went bad. Now that I have a bad mb, I notice that there are a lot of them go bad.

While I am expressing my thoughts, here's another. I'm not sure it makes a difference if you burn in at stock MHz@ lowest volts or highest MHz@ lowest volts. I've always used the latter and will do so until I see hard evidence otherwise. I think it's a ymmv type thing. However, I do think it does help to do one or the other.

[computersmsa]

CABNE is more hot at the same Vcore and frenquency that a CABGE ...
It's maybe not only a diff of quality (Silicon) ! I don't know more ... but more me there are a other diff.

[gundamit]

Thanks to Perc for sending me a mounting bracket for my Prommie. My "modded" bracket was having a hard time getting a good seal on my DFI which lead to the death of my DFI SLI mobo. I'm working on modding my non-SLI DFI so I can get some SLI action going. In the meantime I decided to try my EVGA mobo that I got in a deal that you can read about here. (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=74212) If you read that thread you'll understand the limitations of that mobo which makes for a theoretical OC maxium of 3.45ghz when the 148 is used. The 314HTT limit really makes putting the 144 or 146 in this board pointless. Maybe a bios revision will fix this.

Right now I'm working on getting it stable at this speed. I'll check back in when I find the max stable.

I'm talking about air cooling and nothing else. If you look at the air cooled optys, there not that much better then my 144@3050. I hope you get a cracker jack 146 that will do great but still stand by my statement that a really good 144 isn't going to do that much less then a 146. Look at the world records, there is not a lot of difference top to bottom on most.

Also, look at the thread Team Japan has. There is not a nickles worth of difference between the 144 and the 146.

[goodcooper]

so far, is it only the OEM chips that have the CABGE?

computersmas were all OEM iirc...

maybe they havn't gotten to the packaged models yet, maybe if we hurry up and snag some retails we can get the good stepping...

i just hope Vandi hasn't lost my PM :/ i havn't heard from him and its been about 4 or 5 days (can't remember now)

[dogsx2]

Thanks to Perc for sending me a mounting bracket for my Prommie. My "modded" bracket was having a hard time getting a good seal on my DFI which lead to the death of my DFI SLI mobo. I'm working on modding my non-SLI DFI so I can get some SLI action going. In the meantime I decided to try my EVGA mobo that I got in a deal that you can read about here. (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=74212) If you read that thread you'll understand the limitations of that mobo which makes for a theoretical OC maxium of 3.45ghz when the 148 is used. The 314HTT limit really makes putting the 144 or 146 in this board pointless. Maybe a bios revision will fix this.

Right now I'm working on getting it stable at this speed. I'll check back in when I find the max stable.


Those are still good looking clocks for a free mb. Glad to see them doing so well under phase.

[gundamit]

dude that mb isnt that bad. id like to read more about that mb cause i think my dfi ultra-d is checking out on me. deff like to play with that mb how do you like it...

peace perc, As a bencher ... not so much. But as part of a budget SLI gaming sustem there is a lot to be said for it. Is "budget SLI" an oxymoron? I picked up the hot budget bencher, the Asus 939 with the ULI chipset. That might be a good one to get until the "expert" comes out next month. I'll start testing the Asus as soon as I can.

[gundamit]

Those are still good looking clocks for a free mb. Glad to see them doing so well under phase. I have to keep reminding myself they were free when I'm wrestling around with one. Its an annoying board sometimes. The funny thing is ... the two 7800GTs are still in their shrinkwrap while I've spent a lot of time with one of the free mobos. :D

[Deus Falsus]

I know that this was to ozzimark but I would like to address it as I do have both a 144 & 146 same stepping cabne. Here is my take so far.

1. Both cpu's hit 3000MHz at OCCT stable with ease. The 144@1.4v and the 146@1.45v.

2. With very limited testing on good air the max so far is 3050MHz-144 and 3080MHz-146.

3. I think these are no different then the venice in that the top oc on the very good chips are all about the same max,ie,the x doesn't mean greater oc.

The other thing Ive notice that has nothing to do with these cpu's is that there are sure a lot of dfi mb's that go bad. Mine went bad right after I put the 144 in it and another new dfi board lasted a day and it went bad. Now that I have a bad mb, I notice that there are a lot of them go bad.

While I am expressing my thoughts, here's another. I'm not sure it makes a difference if you burn in at stock MHz@ lowest volts or highest MHz@ lowest volts. I've always used the latter and will do so until I see hard evidence otherwise. I think it's a ymmv type thing. However, I do think it does help to do one or the other.


Thanks for the response that's the info what I was looking 4. I cringe at the thought of my DFI dying on me (I'm on RMA rehab right now and happily holding strong... so far), I've heard a lot of sh&&t about DFI's dying for just about anything and was quite content that I never encountered such issues, but this... Is there a reason why this happens or does this happen with a specific bios? :slobber:

[gundamit]

I thought it was time I had a little fun so I dropped my pair of 6800GTs into the EVGA mobo and did a quick and dirty run on 3DMark '01. Nothing like a big CPU to give that benchmark a bump.

Strangely enough I consider this my weakest Opty because of the way the volts/speed scale. Its not from the "magic" 0530 week. I'm testing it right now because my DFI is not ready for SLI (yet) and the EVGA stand-in won't do much with the 144 and 146 because of the 314HTT limit. I'm wondering if anyone else who ordered from EWiz also got the oddball CABYE stepping.

Volts are the same. 1.62v.

CPUCITY is about £10 more (including delivery) than a couple of other sites though. I've seen it for £115 including postage @ scan. :)

Someone on OCUK forums said there was a UK store that currently had a few in (including a couple of 146's left)... just wondered if anyone knew it.

Oh well, i'll order from scan i think and endure the wait. :)

There's a horror story about every etailer in the world, all I care about is the best price with a decent reputation. :)

I wonder how good the first batch into the UK are going to be... seems we have a history of gettign the worse performers if the first batches of mobile Bartons were anything to go by.

ok my turn! just got the thing installed and went right for the money! i set the oc to 280x10 running the chips defualt voltages 1:1 ofcourse and let her go. she booted right up and everything seems fine. need to run some prime and other such fun programs to find stablity. well not bad for the first 5 mins i say now let see how high it will go. ill be back :)

stepping is the same as everyone elses 0530APMW CABNE batch number of 0022 looks good to me.

Hey Zeus very nice overclk!,

Could you tell me the water temperature for your runs, also if possible do you have access to multimeter so tht you cam measure vCore from the board. Im interested to know wht your 'real' vCore is.

The last line of my CPU code is:

1288864x50036

Id like to know if your last 5 digits are similar to mine and finally are u using tccd, if so, can u post an A64 tweaker screen shot, and tell me your values for 'drive strength/data strength'

Something strange is going on.

As long as my LAN connection is disabled i can run Prime95/OCCT without end at 3GHz 1.45V no problem.

But as soon as i enable LAN connection Prime or OCCT will fail within minutes.

WTF? :confused:

Temps are ok < 47C load.

CPU interrupts due to broadcasts on the Ethernet.

Assuming you are using Windows, you will have a lot of useless boradcasts on your LAN, and each of them triggers an interrupt on your CPU. The OS then runs a high-priority interrupt handler with delicate locking (timing).

This hardware interrupt handling is an order of magnitude more complex than the normal context switch between OS and your application and hence is more fragile.

[Zeus]

Guess what?

Youre Vcore is high for a watercooled APMW.
Try to get it under 1,4Vc. Than the temps will fall. :)
Best Temps you get around 1,376 or 1,360Vcore. And it must be enough for the 3 Gig.

Alot of assumptions are being made abt similar chips! My CPU is of the same batch as Zeus and your own, but it is an impossibilty for it to run 3Ghz with 1.4v!!! Unless I have a poor mthbrd this chip will never be able to run at the speeds and voltage you r assuming i wish things were different ;). I have no IHS, am on water with a LRWW and nothing else iin the loop, but still need vCore greater than 1.5v to even think abt getting prime remotely stable. Could you please tell me wht I am meant to do!

Zeus,

thanxs for teh information, I understand your wearyness for using a multimeter for vCore point. I asked this because I want to know if your '1.42v' is actually tht. For me '1.42v' with my multimeter is 1.49v!!!. So if we are going to say tht our chips are prime stable with 1.42v at least we should be sure tht this is a fact.

I will try your timgs with my chip, hopefully I will be able to get prime95 stable, at the moment I havnt passed more than 2hrs without it crashing :(, maybe i should switch my wireless connection off, to see if im getting crashes because of tht. Our before i forget, which bios are u using?

Sorry, I should have posted that info earlier. My chip is CABYE 0528GPMW. I went straight to phase change cooling because I wanted to know what the CPU could do frozen. I'm an impatient person. :D ;) The chip will eventually go into an air-cooled system.

I had some heat-related issues a few days ago because the IHS was apparently not making good contact with the core. I re-seated the evaporator head and now everything is fine. I'm very close to getting the Opteron to complete SuperPI 32M at 3.5GHz. But I think I need 1.67v and that puts a real strain on the system. Will keep you posted.

I thought I read an earlier post that said they talked to Monarch and they said they would never sell them. :confused:

That's like I talked to the DFI office today about a rma so I then asked for sales. I asked the salesman when the experts were going to be out. He said he was getting them today and they would hit the streets by Friday. :rofl:

it locked up on me about 10mins in while i was setting up to prime soooooo lets see what 1.4v does at 3gigs same settings as above. also i rember someone saying that with thier tccd theyhad to change from 2.5-3-3- to 2.5-4-3- to get stable you think i may have this problem or 1.36v just pushing it for 3gigs. also if these 0530APMW CABNE chips are realy fx core wouldnt they run a 200mhz oc or even more with the chips defualt v-core? know what im saying?

peace perc,

[Vapor]

Maybe these are the CABNEs that didn't make the FX-57 cut but were supposed to?

Either way...they're about the best deal you can get for ~$200.

The high Pre-amble requirement still makes me curious....like these were meant to be Opterons and were made in the FX production line.

[jot]

I agree. Loosen that ram a little and keep burn'n I know it will run.

[dogsx2]

You got an old verison of MaxTCase that shows 940, the new v1.03 shows 939. Also your 67c is higher then my 65c on my 146. Burn in helped both my optys.

You'll see that just a little bump in Vcore really makes a big difference in being stable.

[Perc]

i just got the chip today i plan on trying to burn it in at this speed here even if it crashes now and then as long as i can prime a few hours at a time i think i can make it run this speed. where do i get the new max t screen prg at?

Any other recommendations ? Like high/low vcore, high/low Mhz or high/low Temp ??

[Vapor]

At it's max....it'll lower the voltage needed to run at that clockspeed and might even add a few MHz with extra volts.

[Vapor]

CABNE 0530 APMW 3ghz 1.4v
:stick:
CABGE 0536 VPAW 3ghz 1.9v

It s a big difference between 6weeks

+- same temp ...I would like to disagree with this figure....I run my CABNE at 3.15GHz with 1.65V and am not getting terribly high temps (I'm on crappy water cooling with 22-23C ambient). Running the CABNE for a while at higher volts drops its temp A LOT, people just haven't done it yet apparently. On top of that, I've been running the Ricky Tweak (yes, on crappy water, too lazy to get rid of it frankly) which only adds more heat.

[Richdog]

So have the OSA144DAA5BN Stepping 0536 VPAW not been doing too great then? Has no-one hit ~3gh with ~1.5v?

[Richdog]

OK guys, here's the guy who has multiple 144's READY TO SHIP on Ebay, I just bought one from him... damn i'm good to you http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Neu-AMD-Opteron-144-Venus-Prozessor-Tray_W0QQitemZ6809680522QQcategoryZ78778QQssPageNa meZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

All I ask is that no-one please buy multiple CPU's so that everyone who hasnt got one gets a fair chance, there's a lot of guys who haven't got one at the moment and were late pre-ordering, so spare a thought for them. :)

peace perc,
As Dinos said, look at HD temps,

Hey Vapor did u say increasing the voltage to such a high amount resulted in less heat being given out??? And running prime over and over again does make the CPU more stable, my small FTT's started failing after 2hrs, then 2hrs 45min, then 3hrs 15 min, I just got back from work and this time it failed at 3hrs 57min.

So prime95 will continue

When I first had my processor...my load temp was 54C or so for 3.15GHz 1.65V, now it's down to 44-45C with nothing else changing (well, it sat on my desk for a few days :rolleyes: ). I had 44C load with 3.1GHz 1.45V before going to high volts, at which point the temps were VERY high but worked their way down. No doubt it's still a HOT processor (my 4400+ @ 2.75GHz 1.62V runs at 46C load for comparison) though.

BTW, good to see the burnin working for ya :D

[Richdog]

:banana::banana::banana::banana:... has NO-ONE got a good clock with them at lower volts?

[Vapor]

What? The CABNE or the CABGE? CABNE has been doing quite well with lower volts (though there CERTAINLY are gains at higher voltages if you cooling can handle it).

CABGEs on the other hand....

:banana::banana::banana::banana:... has NO-ONE got a good clock with them at lower volts?

Oh well who cares, if I can get 2.8Ghz on around 1.6v that will be fine for the moment, then ill just sell in on Ebay and buy a new one. I just need one NOW as the rest of my parts are coming over the next couple of days. :D

I think Rufus deserves a break, his mobo and CPU temps were about normal i'd say, his overclock very good despite Prime erroring out.

Ive never had a X2 so it is funny for me to see you saying u are having some much fun with the Opty u have. Care to explain why? Ohh and get some results up ;)


well man for one i have just set my highest 3dmark 01 score with this cpu wich i couldnt do with my x2 nor with any other cpu inclucding my fx-53 so yeah this chip rocks! right now im just trying to burn this thing in a little then ill go for some results but for now heres a couple tests ive run but keep in mind this is for burn in not testing for stableness...

peace perc,

Looks good, I love 2k1, know it by heart. You probaly got at least another 100Mhz in it. My 146 for now tops out at 3110 on TT BT. Let see some more 3D action.

Wait, I forgot your on phase. You got alot more. :D

Guess I won't ever see it then, not going to pay to see a forum.

yeah well my memory tops out around 310/320htt so at 1:1 i dont expect much more then 3200mhz anyways atleast not at 1:1... anyways heres a super pi run at 3gigs. i found that just by changing idle cycle times from 256 to 16 my score went down by 1sec... ill be getting more aggressive with this chip as it burns it.

peace perc,

[el rolio]

hey guys so you sayin the best method here for the burn in i will need to do is to just push it high and hard... say 2.9 with as high voltage as i can tolerate.... and keep runnin p95 kinda thing? if it fails start it again? and then at what point do you find that you can lower voltage/raise clocks?

are there already some new weeks???

I will be getting a Week 30 Opteron soon if my friend manages... :banana:

Hopefully its the FX line. And anyone got that link about the Opteron steppings? :)

CABYE 0536 GPMW received this morning.

Using:
Stock heatsink
Asus A8N-SLI deluxe (max vcore is 1.55v :( )

Looks like I'm a bit unlucky. Maximum stable clock I can get is around 2.75GHz.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=38453

[Hicks]

I can get an CABNE 0528GPMW 148 from UK, but i dunno wether it's worth it. My 4400+ does 2600mhz with very low volts.

Could i easily hit 3ghz on a XP90c? max Vcore mobo has is 1.5 i think.

[ozzimark]

good news, my mobo is back.. i can get to work again :toast:
as a side note, it's R.AC0

Wait for your result!!! :D

My DFI board Rev is R.AAO, I've had the FSB up to 370mhz stable with stock volts, Haven't tried higher so I suppose this is a good board.

my CABYE 0536 GPMW :banana:
Cooling = Big Typhoon
Mobo = DFI-DAGF

Nice Overclock ken, those CABYE are defantly better then the CABGE.

well if that voltage cpuz is showing is right, thats not that great, how hot is it under load with air and that voltage (if that voltage is right)

yup, the voltage showing is right, thats y i got the :banana: sign :(
temp is OK though, 45 underload using Prime

[xenolith]

Looks like the CABYE is a "tweener" in the steppings line up so far. With air:

CABNE ~3ghz ~1.45vcore ~50C load
CABYE ~2.95 ~1.65vcore ~45C load
CABGE ~2.85 ~1.65vcore ~40C load

Someone should probably start an official s939 opty o/c stepping thread. ;)

I would, but I can't even get my hands one of these very elusive gems. By the time I find a source, they've sold out. :(

What wrong with 1.632V, yes compared to the CABNE its alot indeed. But compared to the CABGE its good :)

CABYE is a nice stepping, if you can,t get a CABNE.

[dinos22]

i've done a bit of testing on mine last night

CABYE 0536GPMW

I can suicide on at least 3.1GHz......didn't try higher but see no issues
