I have got the same stepping here:

148 0536GPMW 0189er Batch

(not so nice as my 144, but really 3GHz)

free

Yea, my 144 is the better then my 146 & 148 for doing 3GHz at low volts. Lets see a tweaker of your 148, what ram?

aiit folks, got the 32m prime stable. upped ram voltage to 2.75v and also tried a diff combi of VID and % to get where im at of about 1.55 avg.... gosh i hate neo2 fluctuating vcore.

http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/7306/29pistablefullscreen5pv.th.jpg (http://img478.imageshack.us/my.php?image=29pistablefullscreen5pv.jpg)

as it stands now im done for tonight. gonna start a prime blend test? i guues thats the best to do and let it run till morn. should be a good 7 hours and hopefully it runs thru the night. *wish me luck!

im pretty sure im pumpin a tad bit more volts than is actually necessary to be stable but its just in an effort to compensate for the wildy fluctuating voltage courtesy of the neo2. *sigh.

I know what you mean with the neo2... I have the same :slapass:

here's something weird for you guys. my 146 is doing quite well, but something is perplexing me. i can get to 2.9ghz with 1.4v or 3ghz with 1.45v prime95 small fft stable. no matter what i do to the vdimm, timings, or memory divider, superPI 32m will fail at those speeds. i'm guessing the limiting thing on this chip is the memory controller portion that runs at cpu speed. anyone know of ways to get around this.. issue? :D

Then start your own thread just for MaxTcase. There is no sense of trashing up an oc thread with that. Someone who just gets an opty or is new to the forum and wants to find out about how the opty's oc shouldn't have to go thru a lot of MT posts to find oc info. This tread has pasted up the venice, sd and x2 threads is a short time. Please don't trash it up.

periquitos, your new here, please respect other people threads. If MT is that important to you, start your own thread. Don't hijack. :nono:
:eek:


Yes , I do know...

but... even being a new member I do really know what "smiles" matter. Look again at my repply and you see that :fact: ... And I really don´t understand why you came to me with this attitude... Maybe just because you don´t like MT? Because you don´t believe MT? I´m sorry if you don´t agree... but I do. I will not create another thread , someone sugested that we can put Mt together with overclock screenshots , that´s a good ideia ! :toast:

@ ozzimark bump the voltage and try raising or lowering the data drive strength in your BIOS.
a step ahead of you. i know changing vcore definitly does wonders, as i got ~100mhz from a .05v increase. raising drive strength did nothing.. and it seems that lowering didn't do much either :(
i'll play with bios 704-2BTA when i get back from class, maybe it'll do something unexpected. either way, i feel that i definitly have a ton of headroom in this cpu :toast:


edit: oh.. data drive strength? quick! time to try
nope, was using level 1 before. 3 seems worse. try 2 real quick

Then by all means you need to have your computer prime stable. I am fine at 32m or OCCT stable. I am not trying to make you uncomfortable by saying you should just be doing 32m or OCCT, please don't make me uncomfortable by saying I should do prime.


Believe me, I am not trying to make anyone uncomfortable. :D In fact I would like someone to make me comfortable with just pi or OCCT, cus it looks like prime aint gonna happen at these speeds....which will make me easy to convince ;)

Anyone have an stats on 3Dmark yet at diffent OC's? I noticed that I lost about 1000 cpu score points going from 2.8 to 3.oghz. Interested to see what other people have been doing. I will post screenshots later regarding this.

i remember there being a board somewhere that allowed for the change of the memory controller voltage seperate from the cpu. i didn't think such a thing was possible.. but it was there. i wonder if it's possible to do a mod on the dfi nf4 to do that. :stick:

i dunno what his deal was, but i'm pretty sure both of my ihs's are connected pretty well.. i get 40c load with 1.5v on both my 144 and 146. it would be fun to detatch it, but after what happened to my newark, i don't feel like killing another cpu. maybe detatch, reapply thermal paste and use silicone to put it back on. someone would have to advise me on how to get the IHS back on flat though.. i'm thinking goop it up and stick it in the socket and carefully put a heatsink on it to maintain good contact as it dries

Very nice Gundamit, especially with low voltage too! :toast:Yeah. But look at the volts to get to 3.4ghz. Looks like the end of the road. Still I can do 3D a little higher. Prime I'm guessing will be between 3.2 and 3.3ghz. At least I managed to close the gap a little bit with Sierra's CPU.

its really bad should be 21m range easy Yeah. I'm just going for a stable shot. I can tweak it a bit to bring down the time, but the focus right now is just finding the top end of the CPU. Heck, I'd throw a bigger divider at it just to get the clocks up 1mhz. :D I'll save the SuperPi tweaking/tips and tricks for later. Wouldn't be running 2x1gig if I were just going for SuperPi times. Although any suggestions are always welcome. :D

Hi,

I have tryed to get my opteron 144 CABNE 0530APMW over 3GHz to Pi but no luck. 2.9GHz is the farest that it will Pi, 32m goes but OCCT wont. Giving volts over 1.4v just makes it worst cant even Pi 2.9GHz :( . My cooler is TT big typhoon. Mems are OCZ 3200 VX 2x512mb. I´m not sure that my memory settings are correct or is the cpu at its max.?? Sorry my bad english :). PI 8m pic. (http://www.kleimo.pointclark.net/kuvia/oc/3000+_opteron/2.9GHz_1.4v_8m.jpg)

This IHS thing has me really interested too.

Radiator inlet temp(return from CPU block) is 27.7C with a contact temp probe and the water block underside is 28.5C, yet my full load temps are 45C. For this test the CPU is 1.4V at a conservative 2600Mhz. From my experience with this particular water cooling setup with a Venice and Winchester, shoot even with a Prescott that number is 5C too high to me. I have reset the waterblock at least 5 times.

Maybe it's the Neo4 BIOS?

I've been afk (out of the country) for about 10 days but the system was running folding with that config. This will be the base for further testing ;) .

Since I had some trouble to set the mems @290 in the few hours I've played with it I've used the divider... hope to put it back 1:1 after tweaking.

At the moment, I've just reduced vcore to 1.39v and I'll leave until tomorrow. Then more results will come...hopefully. :rolleyes:

Hopefully that new Ultra-D you picked up from the Egg is a good one. 334HTT right out of the box doesn't seem to be a problem for the DFIs. I took that for granted until I started playing with the EVGA and Asrock mobos recently. Seems like the DFI is the only good option for 9x multis. If you find time, please drop the multi to 8 and show us your highest HTT. :D

BTW - On the 32M runs please open the box up a little more before running it so we can see the final time.

Sorry, I didn't notice. I put on an 8x and upped the Vcore alittle. I took it to 380HTT and quit, I'm sure it will do more. I ran pi 1m, didn't feel like running 32m right now. This board is better then my rma'ed mb. I'll test it out and see how high I can go with the 144@8x running pi 32m.

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Just a quick question. How many with CABNE has removed their IHS?
And do the CABYEs with the IHS off clock as good as the CABNE with IHS?
Could it be that the biggest change between the CABYE and the CABNE is the contact between the IHS and the CPU?

Now how is that for an entry to the board? KISS

I've been wondering the same thing about the IHS making the difference on some of these steppings. Maybe the tim was a different sucky batch or the machine that applies it or the ihs was not running well for whatever reason. I can't remember if anyone did a naked cabge but maybe it would help.

Also I think it would be great if everyone who has a chip would put in the week stepping and where they got it into their sig. A guy posts "look at my cabxe from XXXXX" and then 20 posts later who knows what chip it is? Even worse they don't tell where it came from. I've been here for the whole thread but I can't remember everything and I'm not going to scroll back through 50 pages with 1200/1600 jpg's all over the place. (which is another issue, Hint: shrink the pics and lower the quality.)

Cooling would be nice too as everyone has to keep asking over and over "what step", "what cooling", "where'd you get it", etc. At least put the step up in screenies.

Whatever happened to the concept of thumbnail? I have turned off pictures in user control panel, I just click the link when I want to see them. I'm not looking at a zillion piccys when the data can be summed up in about five works words...... 32Meg stable, 3.0Ghz blah blah blah...

Edit: Not OT, moderation work LOL :)

I agreed, I posted on this when I had venices and sd's. In the oc'ing threads you wolud see one guys pics for the whole page. I have dsl and the screen would still be moving and shaking loading when I though it should be done.

This should be something the mods and owner should discuss.

OK, so I've had my vandi special 146 cabne for about 10 days now, and I've been rather dissapointed because it wouldn't get to 3000 stable like almost all others. After seeing some of the others results with removing the IHS, I thought I'd give it a try. Right after I popped the top, I ran super pi 32m at 1.55v @ 3006mhz....Hell Yes!! :banana: :banana: My temps dropped considerably, and this is in a room @ 72degrees f, and with the zalman 7700.
But right after the first run of 32m, I rebooted to try to clock higher, and my neo 2 died on me... ouchee :slobber: :slobber:
Now I'm at default vcore 2800mhz on the abit av8 (board won't go much higher), and will be waiting on the new board from rma before I can test again.

Ah, so is the life of the overclocker....victories, and defeats one after another!!!

ok so wow. us neo2 owners are really having a hard time eh? but this makes me raise na eyebrow. popping the top eh? you + me + Eljefe62 all have a vandi special cabne 146 wk 30. all have the neo2. all have been pumping volts and getting high frikken temps. like i can get to 32m stability with less volts than prime stability (which im testing right now, pics later) butt oif you saw my screenshots a few pages back (which was only day and half ago) i got it to 2.9 but not without a fight and not without dropping my ram speed damn cllose to stock.

and sitting here typing this on the lappy, its showwin me 58° on the cpu, under a storm block and water, 1.58 - 1.6v since this neo2 loooooves to fluctuate so wildy.

i mean its beeen runnin since i got in from clubbin so its been a while. i do not however want to run above 55° for my load temps at all. cuz i refuse to make the system loud. so does this mean i bacck down from 290x10? go slower? i could do 2.8ghz pretty much damn near stock and i know im pumping extra volts into this thing now to compensate for voltage swings but wow.

so mainly, i love my ihs, i love how they look ive always said i leave the poppin of the top to the phaser's etc and i really feel like i would be defacinng a peicce of art. but if it REALLLY nets such big temp drops for us neo2 146 cabne wk30 vandi special owners, (say that 5 times fast) then i will prolly have to do it.

let me know mane, and all other neo2 owners. ps: im curently on 1.b tccd mod bios, will ggo back to 1.c when its final. what you guys on?

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1087152#post1087152

yea man, i remember that post now (thread soooo long gah! forgetting things) now that i have mine i can see that it really is crazy what the msi reports. so i guess i wont worry much about the temps its telling me im getting. i mean the air coming from the rad fans is kinda warm under fully load but really not that bad.

ok so that would confirm my suspicions... neo2 definitely reports super high. for that matter it has issues reporting nb fan speeds too. i actually only trust the ambient from the 6800.

the next thing is this top popping. you really making me think about it. but then again a guy over at my [H] worklog suggested adding some capacitors to the board to stabilize the vcore some more. imm happy for systool, it actually shows when the frikken vcore drops... so if any of your neo2 owners know whats up with that lemme know.

ozzimark and i were thinking the mem controller was flaky which is why i had to be running the 150 divider but like dog said, its hte neo2 and the problem it provides to get superpi stable cuz of lack of ram. at least the new bioses SE makes help the situation out.

if im then gonna be keepin my ram below 215 i really think im gonna put hte bh-5 back in.

another one of my main issues is selecting voltage for hte core. its like trial an error to get a decent voltage and it almost seems that certain combinations are more stable than others.. right now im 1.45 + 8.3% im pretty sure which is currently proving to be stable. even tho i could complete superpi with less; once i got my memory voltage sorted that is.

Damn you 3Ghz posters with less volts than me :slapass: :D

You definately going to push me over the edge to get another mthbrd! Cant get it out of my mind tht better vCore regulation will allow me to run lower vCore for 3Ghz.

Until i get another mobo I wont know for sure. Just saw a post over at dfi-street on the new RDX200 CF-DR and the guy is running 3Ghz with 1.4v over 3hrs prime95 stable on WC

Also ran prime large fft for about an hour with no errors. 33-34 idle, 42-43 load. Upped volts to 1.325x113% Can do a 1m pass, but fail 32m. Still have my timings pretty tight, might try to loosen them up a little.Temps now, 36-37 idle, 45-46 load. Would like to up the volts more but temps are climbing fast. My venice never goes over 43 with almost 1.6v. Cooling with big typhoon. Don't know if I will make 3.0, but still seems like a damn nice chip.

thanks man....I loves these CABNE, I thought about getting WC for the Opty but the Big Typhoon + FM121 fan perform so well even in a closed case that I'm just going to stick with air :D :D






Is this more fun then a x2, I sure think it is. :D We used to dream about clocks like this. Maybe you could do a comparison between x2 and opty like you did with sd and venice. :)

hehe....these opty are sure fun to play with. Though I kinda missed my X2 as I noticed day to day usage none of the single core can touch the X2, ever since nvdia release the 81.84 drivers to take advantage of the dual core I think it definitely close the gap between the two in gaming, running at the same clock speed the X2 with 81.84 driver still rules the Aquamark over this opty (105K vs 99K), 3dmark 05 is very close but the Opty really shine on both 01 and 03. But I know one thing for certain....my X2 will not do 3.0Ghz on air :D :D I don't think I should do a detail comparo between the two as I don't think it's fair :D :D

I just ordered it from monarch, 599+ ship, they are more expensive than 4400's, but I'm banking on better silicon overall, I'm sure it will do at least 2.8 24/7 anyway. I don't think they actually had it in stock though since I ordered on the 19th and they say it won't ship until monday, which is kinda ok, because my biostar (tide me over board) will be here on monday and I can just throw my 4400 in it for right now. That'll at least give me a good idea of how well these biostar boards are since everything else will be the same. :)

On a side note, I'm going to try this low volt burn in method on the operton ( I have to express that I totally do not believe in cpu burn in, but hey...whatever, I still gotta try it to see if it'll yield me higher clocks.) Mainly because this will be the last chip upgrade I get until the next socket comes out. I suspect the overall clocks will be the same once I hit a voltage wall, it may clock higher at a lower voltage, (which is not the max clock of the chip) but then, that's useless to me... oh well, time will tell.

It's really funny how these optys really changed how we now look at oc's.

BO(before opty) and AO(after opty).

BO if you had a cpu that would hit 2800-2900 it was above average.
AO if your cpu doesn't hit 3000 it's below average.
BO on single phase 3000-3200(non-FX) was pretty good.
AO on single phase 3400(non-FX) is starting to be comon.

This cpu really raised the bar.

I thought I should be able to get Prime stable at between 3.2 and 3.3ghz. I ran off 3.3ghz "large FFT" and did over two hours on it. But its just too boring. I had to stop it. Here it is for what its worth.

yea i can get to windows at 315x10..... wont even bother trying to stabilize that heh.... so im stayin at 2.9 it seems. and you know what? thats fine with me, my winnie took me to 295x9 and this is now a nice speed bump, and fun.... and hot.

I'm perfectly OK with 2.9, but if I can get to 3 w/out much effort, why not? I am having an issue with my Neo2 only allowing me 2t on the mem. I thought it was the mem controller on my 3200+, but the Opty does it too. I am convinced it is the crap Neo2 and that I have slightly scorched something using the ddr booster (not currently using it). Could I just have bad luck with processor mem controllers? I don't think a brand spanking new Opty would have such a hard time with 1t...

It's really funny how these optys really changed how we now look at oc's.

BO(before opty) and AO(after opty).

BO if you had a cpu that would hit 2800-2900 it was above average.
AO if your cpu doesn't hit 3000 it's below average.
BO on single phase 3000-3200(non-FX) was pretty good.
AO on single phase 3400(non-FX) is starting to be comon.

This cpu really raised the bar.


yea I know....seems like only the CABNE and some CABYE can hit the magic number, though I'm wondering how well these opty's memory controller going to hold up with all the abuse we're throwing at them, I sure hope they built like tank and last for a little while :D :D

@Ben805 i have bought a WC to get higher than 3Gig on good Temps. Next week the

And the CABNE is the best CPU i´ve ever had. Not much Vcore but a plenty of clocks.
Well i wouldnt hold my breath, prime95 stable with just watercooling for 3.2ghz just aint going to happen. Now if you chill the water than that a different thing.

I can do a 1m superpi on air easy 3.1ghz. You must have missed my post, its more than just a screenie. IF I put another fan onto my heatsink to replace my 59CFM 20DB panaflo I can do 32m most likely.

IF I pop the heatspreader I have no doubts at all that I will be 3.1-3.2ghz prime stable on air. Gotta see whether its worth doing though, especiually when I have phase change coming. Dont want to wreck what seems to be the 2nd best opteron on air out there.

Please do this, rather than talking abt it!!!! SuperPi 1M is easy peasy. Also suggesting tht it is 'likely' u can do 32M is again not good enuff, we dont do 'likely' here, SS and verification is where its at.

You seem very confident tht you will do 3.1-3.2Ghz prime stable on air, 100mhz difference is alot when talking abt prime95 stability! Please make my comments look silly and jealous by showing me a prime95 screen shot at 3.1Ghz on air......

With the Opterons it seems it's 1M MHz minus 100-120MHz that's P95/OCCT stable.

Going from decent air to good watercooling only gains 50-80MHz. So if you're 1M stable at 3.1GHz right now, add 50MHz for the slightly better cooling and removing the IHS and then subract 110MHz for the P95/OCCT stable and you get 3.04GHz most likely.

No way you'll get 3.1 stable even on good water if it can 'only' do 1M @ 3.1GHz right now.

And (insert crazy long name here), yes that counts as Prime stable but not 3.1GHz ;)

And what kind of aircooling do you have? 30C idle temps are about 8C lower than I get with water :stick:

Hi,

I have just received 60 Opteron 144 CABNE 0540 APMW !
First look, not very good for CABNE : 2.85 GHz @ 1.6V stable with my WC.
However, CABNE are special about RAM setting, I will test later !
Now, I make dispatch and logistic.

Damn, www.komplett.no had 2 OPTERONS 150's and those were the only OPTERONS s939 available here in norway. I hope these OPTERONS get available soon.
I have a question, is it possible taht the OPT 170 has 2 cores which are same stepping like the FX-57? In other words it's a dualcore FX-57, that would be fun.

PS.

OUch. Looks like the later weeks of 146 suck. If you look on the db the top ones are 0530's and the clocks get lower as they go up in weeks. It's a small sample but weeks/vs clocks there seems to be a direct relation.

Maybe those 0540's will do better.

Maybe those 0540's will do better.That always seems to be the general pattern with new releases. Initial weeks look good then it drops off some. Then everyone waits around until another "good" week comes along. I'm just wondering if dollar for dollar the average Operton will continue to represent better value than its Venice/San Diego counterparts.

Looking back through the thread it seems most people are running MAL of 8-9, and preamble of 6.5-7.5 at 3.0ghz. Do you guys have that set in bios, or do you change it after booting into windows with a64 tweaker? Anything above 7.5 MAL blue screens on me before getting to windows. I have tried changing it with a64 tweaker, but it freezes on me. I have 3.0ghz sort of stable. 1m, 4m 8m pi pass, but fail 32m about half way through. Thinking that this may be why. Thanks.

combination of MAL 9.0 and PRE of 7.0 usually work pretty well..these opty are tricky! do it in BIOS and see if you can even load up the built in memtest, if you can't....then don't bother to load up windows.

Just a note about mal and preamble that everyone keeps asking about is that these are highly dependant on your ram. You need to find the settings that work on YOUR ram and the mal and preamble settings you can use will change with clock as well. Just because they are opterons doesn't mean that you can use the same mem settings on diff types of mem. If it worked that way I'd get some value ram and run it at 260 2225.

These are ram timings not cpu timings.

Using my custom meanwell psu to over volt my MCP650 has helped a tad for oc'ing

Top right pic you can see the white plastic dial to adjust the voltage output. I marked the max voltage output on the black switch/relay box myself to tell them apart :D

This is with MCP650 at 13.23v - seems to get a bit more stable and finally completed 32M at 3024mhz! Timings were looser than my sub 24min time at 3015mhz though heh.

http://www.fileshosts.com/DFI/NF4_SLI_D/results/Opteron144/CABYE_0536_GPMW_2/Corsair/XMS3500C2/2x512/2_1/623_2BTA/LDT3x/150/336-252-2225-7-17-2213_1.70-1.3-1.6-3.48_3120_dsW2dds1_8clk_9F65_16x7x/superpi-32m_tn.jpg

Kayl did an excellent job as last night i let the psu run my MCP650 @13.23v overnight and no probs. Noticed post-load temps drop to idle levels alot quicker now.

i.e. with 1.55v vcore

before at 12.4-12.6v on MCP650
before stressing cpu idle = 38C
cpu load = 49-52C
post stressing cpu idle = would drop to 40-41C for 1-3 seconds and then drop to 39C then 38C

now at 13.23v on MCP650
before stressing cpu idle = 37-38C
cpu load = 46-51C
post stressing cpu idle = would drop immediately to 38C

I guess the custom psu would have better improvements overvolting MCP600 or MC350 pumps but seems MCP650 is liking it too :)

Going to play with the voltage output and see what's best for my MCP650.

Here in Norway no opterons are available at the moment, I am more interested in the DC OPTY's, are they available in the U.S ? Haven't found any OC results yet.


here also , they are available :

But I'm interested in the dual core opterons! The OPTY 170 is the one i want. I just spoke with a guy i know in a computer shop and they thought they would have the OPTY 170 within 2 weeks. I have to save up som cash and then I'll get this CPU! :D
Is the CABNE 0540 really good OC'er?

Sorry Pt1t.
But 1 Exemplar is not representativ only shows the Way of the Stepping.
And the 0540 Needs a lot of Vcore for 3 Gig.Too much for my Taste.
Stress the Hardware too much.

If the DC OPTY's are available elsewhere why aren't there any results posted yet! I have made an " The Unofficial Dual Core Opteron Overclocking" Thread for results.

My load temps are now 48-50.. thats almost a 10C drop just by replacing the paste.. the ihs is still there protecting the core, insane. Don't know what they did during the manufacturing of these optys but placing those intergrated heatsinks sure was a shoddy job.

Not bad, I may have to do this. Just have to stick it back on nice. does anybody know what the black goop they stick it on with is?

Excellent. Preliminary results will be available from me on Friday - too much work until then, still have about 4 essays in total to write for this week :(

nice avatar

perhaps, in Europe the belgian mega order is a better deal it seems.
