Kick Ass Opteron 146

[Athlon64OC]

Guys got my new opteron today,it was a used one,damn that thing goes awesome i run it on a WC system,on a dfi ultra D im priming now@2900mhz with Voltage of 1.500 in bios what is 1.480 in real time

Im only confused my temps:

My prime stressed temps are around 42 degrees seems high for me because im running on water,or am i wrong?

THks alot

[biohead]

seems about right with that kind of voltage.

[perry_78]

Is 1.480V multimeter or CPU-Z reading? CPU-Z is also off :(

[Absolute_0]

42 with 1.48v on water is pretty normal

[Athlon64OC]

what memory should i buy to run 1:1 1GB or 2GB im gaming alot let me know what to get

[Absolute_0]

2gb for gaming, will be hard to run at 290 1:1 unless you get some great stuff

[Athlon64OC]

What is safe for a Opteron 46 what is max temp,i think i can get this thing rock stable@ 3ghz on 1.6,but is that safe for 24/7

personally i would try hitting your max 1.45 and then backing down a few mhz for 24/7

there is a shop here in portugal that sells 2x1gb memory with same chips of the Gskill HZ , and in the tests they bench at 320mhz :

thats 1M calcualtion, not stable
and i think its a fake

[Absolute_0]

Image is from Pedro Rocha, don't think its fake, very amazing though, would like more info.

[GoThr3k]

ow, damn than its very nice indeed :)

[Vincentvega18]

If you mean they test and sell kits that achieve 320mhz, they dont. Its a truly amazing result from one of the worlds best overclockers. If you mean your going to get a kit because youve seen them hit 320, well i think the average is 270-280mhz.

[±Pink=FloYd±]

umm what stepping is this chip? (lol can't believe i am the first to ask this)

[Athlon64OC]

I dont know the exact stepping of this Kick Ass opteron,damn this chip is doing even better now running OCCT TEST 2950MHZ@1.450 in bios,

Lol,nog stable

This Chip seems to be rock stable @2900mhz@1.450(little lower in realtime )OCCT and 5 hours prime Large FFT so far

I think i can get this chip stable @3GHZ but it wil be somewere between 1.580 and 1.620 wil that be a safe setting for 24/7 use?

Thks again

[Athlon64OC]

Anyone,able to anwere my question,right above this reply?

[Zeus]

It's too much for a 90nm chip to run 24/7.
I wouldn't go over 1.52V with watercooling for daily use, for benches no higher than 1.65V.

[ValkyrieLenneth]

I'm running 1.58 daily......

[Athlon64OC]

Im done with OC this Operon 1.6 it absolute rockstable 1.500@2900mhz 24 hours Prime.

Guys im running on water,my cpu stress temp@1.500 is about 45 degrees,wit a room tempture of 19 i wonder if this is nomal or that is pretty high for watercooling,
Is there a way to get my temps around 38 stressed@1.500 or is the 45 degrees good while running on water

thks alot

[Zeus]

Sure, removing the HeatSpreader.

[creidiki]

Depends on how good your water is, but 45c aint that bad for that % oc and ov with IHS on.

How much you gain by going naked depends entirely on your waterblock's design.

[Athlon64OC]

Guys,

I just want to tell to anybody get your cpu,s Naked!!! its worth it!!!

As i told before im Rock stable wit my opteron@1.500 2900mhz my stressed temp was on watercooling and that setting about 45 even sometimes 46/47 degrees,

Now i only removed the his because i would like to get a little bit more voltage to get 3ghz for that i need 1.550 but with shim i get temps about 50/52 degrees and was not stable,i think because of the high temps.

Now im running 3ghz so far stable 2 hours prime with voltage 1.550 and my stress temp wont go over 38 degrees and my room temp is 24 this is awesome

[itznfb]

getting naked isn't for everyone, and its not for every chip.

Told ya. ;)

Got my rig rockstable 24Hours Prime 3GHZ

Awesome
