Yesterday I played with my Opty for a little while, just for fun a 1m at high speed. Non optimised stuff and memory has also some 20Mhz more in it at those timings.

Hey you guys, been a while since I messed with my settings; how do I get my ram to run at the same speed as my HTT.

I have my LDT/FSB at 200(1/01); what am I doing wrong, has to be something simple.
What is you HTT set at?
Never mind, I accidently had odd divisor on; HTT at 260. All good now.
Here is my Opty 148 as Im still testing my 170s high end.

I can't wait for mine to show up...:banana:

BTW, the opteron 165's are cheaper and tend to clock better...
$160 on Newegg

This Opteron 165 has turned in to a nice little upgrade for me. My last chip was a 3500 venice and that ran out of gas at 2.6 ghz. I'm up to 2.8 Ghz and my temps aren't crazy yet so I'm gonna try and squeeze out a bit more. :cool:
ambients got a little lower and I think my core0 has improved. my 170 is at 2,8ghz right now, dual sp2004 small FFTs stable for 8 hours. Voltage set in bios is 1.55v. Idle it jumps between 1.55-1.6 and load around ~1.52v. With this A8R32-MVP the vcore is all over the place. With a better board (like the DFI CFX3200) I can probably squeeze some more out of it, but hey it's stable.
I'm eager to push it further and especially see what my g.skill HX can do but i'm afraid to mess up my RAID array. I'll probably use a new winxp install on an IDE disk for testing.
Im pretty happy with my 170 so far. Its been running stable at 2929mhz at 1.50v and idles at 37C/41C under heavy load on water, looks like this one will do 3000 perhaps more once everything gets relaxed. l
Just got my 165 from newegg........CCBBE 0615EPMW :D Definetly a keeper! Im gonna be running it on the stock HSF, until I get my TT Big Typhoon VX. Ill let you know how she clocks :)
congrats on the stepping ,mine should be here today (out for delivery)Quote:

My 170 is an older CCBWE 0550UPMW.
I just got mine in from ZipZoomFly....

ready to overclock...I've been going slow so far, 2.15 on stock voltage w/ XP-90 SP2004 stable
High HTT - Low Vcore & 1GHZ Overclock just for reference....

Nice OC with the low voltage. I'm trying to quiet down my machine a bit and have lowered my vCore to 1.375v (from 1.44v) in the BIOS, and it still runs 300x9 Prime95 stable. Turned my fans down to 7v and all I have left is to replace that Laing D5 with my DDC w/ Petra's top...
Tomorrow at last arrives my opty 165 :banana:
I`ll be testing on weekend :stick:
Thanks man, you too! Have you gotten a chance to do any testing yet?? Let us know!Quote:

@g4h4 got her up to 2945@1.475v NOT PRIME STABLE gotta wait till this weekend to do that but it does look promising
hope yours is every bit as good or better than mine , but most importantly we'll have fun finding out
I decided to try my luck with a 165 before they went out of stock, at a decent price.... And what do you know, I got one of the "avoid" steppings:mad: CCBWE 0607UPGW, curse on you!
I found the limit pretty fast on this one, around 2,4ghz at stock voltage, maxing out at 290x9@ 1,5v. The chip also requires upping the Vchipset, whereas my Venice ran stable at stock Vchipset. I tried up Vcore to about 1,65v just for the heck of it, but I guess it got too hot to remain stable during prime. Popping the lid and upping the Vcore to 1,6 seems to have made it stable at 2,65ghz (295x9) 48 degrees dual prime load, almost exactly where my X2 3800 topped out (it's in another rig right now), although at a lower voltage. So it seems I only get the mediocre chips, except perhaps the 314x9 3000 Venice that this 165 will be replacing (bu that one doesn't really count, got it second hand knowing it's potential beforehand). Oh well, I guess it'll last me 'till DDR3 and quad core arrives (yeah, right!)
The culprit, decapitated, next to my Venice.
Bad Luck my friend....:(
really sorry to hear that , i've had a couple of those and know how you feel ,see my sig and insert "crappy stepping" for "crappy water" thats how i felt after getting a bad stepping
Where did it come from?Quote:

I can't wait to get a CCB1E or something better, lots of volts scare me :eek:
Thnx m8, surely wouldn't mind having a 165 like that one you've got! 2,8ghz @ 1,25v:slobber:Quote:
