170 CCB1E 0550VPMW batch 029x
Isn't fully stable at 3, getting too hot for air... pretty happy at 2.95 with 1.40 volts tho

Dude for the last time, i didn't order THIS one from monarch. I got it from an online seller, boxed.

Dang, thats a good chip!
Scales very nicely.

If mine will stay under 50 degrees load I will stay on 3GHz...(providing I get lucky as well;))

...or stick to 1:1 against my XP4000 sticks @ 270-280MHz...on nice lowish volts :D

cpu-z says 170 but I take your word for it...

Check this out, might be useful now when chasing those high numbers on that 170'er:

there are two different CPU's...the one on the photo is a 165...and the latest posted is a 170...

OK... now look in the post http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=2490

That says OSA165 on it.

I have 2 of these chips... actually i have a total of 3 CCB1E 0550VPMWs. Two 165s and a 170.

Jeeze, 2.95 with 1.4 and then takes a TON of volts to get core0 to do 3 Ghz

Temps suck, needs water.

What did DogsX2 say
This is Xtremesystems, not Xtreme Stability
i dont really care about how long it goes, i use SP2004 as a tool to find out where my max overclock is. If it doesn't fail in 15 minutes then i can go for more. And i keep going for more until i find the max. That's what i'm about, not spending 8 hours working below my potential.

I do it the hard way: open clockgen, start priming with priority 9 x2, then up HTT until prime crashes, then go down step by step :D.

First with stock volts, then with max volts (1.55v for dual core, no more)

Strangely my 165 CCBWE 0551 UPWM likes volts. I thought I had a very poor chip only doing 2610 or so with 1.4-1.425v, but I had'n tried high volts so yesterday I put 1.55 and voilá, 1h stable 304x9, which is not that bad. Temps close to 50c on load, but I'm not priming all day long so I will keep it that way until AS5 settles :slap: , then I will try to burn it to low volts. For 24/7 I will stay 289x9 with 1.375v or less if possible.

//EDIT: Using this PSU calculator http://www.extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp I'm sure it is my crappy PSU what stops me from getting more. Levicom 420w (no idea of rails/amperage) can't cope in any way with 509w on load :D

did a screenshot, took one at 3.33 but it didn't come out right

Holy Sh*t!

Some chilled water and a bit more voltage and we could see 3.1 stable...:clap:

...now gimme mine so I can go berserk with it..:D

btw, do you install any specific drivers or such for the dual?

Still no errors at almost 12 hours :) Might be time to bump things up even further. Anybody like my new theme? :P

Can someone gimme the download link for the software that everyone using it for showing voltage, temps etc .. the one on the bottom - its MBM5??

Google for Motherboard Monitor 5...and then you either configurate it yourself or look for a configuration for your MB that someone has done and are sharing.

Almost ready...

My 0550 VPMW 170 was Dual priming @ 285x10 / 1.41vcore (DMM checked this morn:D ) all last night. Still burning in. See what is on the chip coming in tonight :bounces:

nice result for an 165! Can you get 2.8GHz stable to, maybe with 1.45V?
02-24-2006, 07:39 AM
Absolute_0

My other 165 VPMW, does exactly as good as the first

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...l/40d7b846.jpg

Then core0 messes up around 2.9 but scales alright until there.

Update on my 170, think i found the sweet spot
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...l/c04bce5c.jpg

What i have noticed with 165 and 170 CCB1E is that the scaling is horrendous.
170 for example can do this
2.85 1.31v
2.90 1.36v
2.95 1.4v
And then 3.0 needs like 1.48v to be stable... core0 keeps demanding voltage

Temps are a problem for me at 3 Ghz though as load was approaching 50c, anyone know just how temp-bound these dualies are? I'm fairly new to them...
