And guess what the stepping is:
CABNE 0530APMW
Yep, seems it's exactly the same as several very solid overclocking FX-57 chips seen around these forums!
Could it be???
An FX-57 for a couple hundred bucks!??!?!
Perhaps so... wish me luck fellows, I'm off to get it under some water and all, hoping to have some results tonight!
:toast: :toast: :toast:
A big three cheers to a very special forum member here who hooked me up!! Thanks bro! I owe you!!
...that is, if it overclocks well. :D
Good luck with your chip.... these seem to be overclocking really well so far. :D
Lucky you!
I just broke 3.1Ghz watercooled with mine. :banana:
Good luck.
wow. nice there.
where did you buy it? I want one soooo bad!
Nice, mine is on its way from the same shipment as yours GRAFIZ. Looks very promising.
Glad to see you got the early one...mine did 3.17GHz on crappy water ;)
what are the last 5 digits of the serial #?
50xxx I bet ;)
Ok, quick update... first attempt at overclocking.
I figured I'd start at 3ghz and try and work my way up, so, I bumped voltage to 1.45v and set the FSB to 300 1:1, much to my surprise, it booted in fine and ran SuperPi.
Here's a screen shot of 1meg... HORRIBLE time, I need to start tweaking.
Gotta say this much, this chip is SCREAMING fast, feels MUCH faster then my X2 did at 2.7ghz.
Wonder why.
Anyhow, thanks for looking, wish me luck on getting it higher... and stable at those speeds! :toast:
PS - I do not know my serial number, tossed it into the system without checking, sorry. :(
^Really? I would think the X2@2.7 would pwn the 3GHz Opteron..
Can you elaborate on "feels faster" please? Right now I am trying to get my X2 to 2700 but my stupid mobo is being retarded and doing stuff like making both cores fail at the same time.. I mean come on that is definetly mobo problem and not chip.
It would be great to sell this for $300 and get a faster chip for $200 but I still think this would be faster ..
Aha... well, by faster, I mean Windows, it is moving smoother and applications start right away.Quote:

Thats all, no doubt, for general apps the Opteron at 3ghz is faster, but for dual apps the X2 wins.
It's simple really, the single core has 300mhz over what my X2 runs at.
another good one... :toast:
Quick sisoft bandwidth screenshot... not too shabby.
Good job...I remember the first time I got 8k with my Redline, I was psyched.
where did u get it at?
My guess is this is a Vandi special ;)
Mine should be arriving today from that same batch :woot:
maybe it just "feels" faster cuz you know its at 3ghz
Good gem there.
This batch seems unique as the later one don't seems to o/c as well.
So is this a better chip than the 3800+ X2 ??
Also, I did a quick search and all I found were Socket 940 146's. Me confused......... :confused:

With single threaded apps, this is absolutely faster. This is a S939 146--your research wasn't in depth enough, apparently.
So.......Where's the result of this new Opty? :D :D :D
man all this talk about these chips is making my weekend seem like a long time! i get my 146 vandi specail monday and i can not wait! good luck with your optie dude i hope to join you guys here real soon. btw: has anyone run these under phase yet? i know i cant be the only one thats going run one on phase right out the box....
peace perc,
