superPI 32m a few times with no ill result
play through an instance in WoW without glitching

by then i call it pretty damn good ;)

when you say "in-place" fft, what fft are you using?

My CABYE 0540FPAW arrived this afternoon. Initial results look good.

310 FSB for 3.1 GHz with watercooling

Memory, 310 FSB, 1T

Initial test. Can get to 3050. After that, it gets unstable. It is probably the RAM since it is at 1:1 and 1T. Have step it back and see what the CPU ceiling really is.

Now, off to do some tweaking and benching.

Also have a CABGE 0534 SPMW which is lousy, as expected (2.65 Ghz). Looks like Monarch has an old lot of OEM CPU's. The good one was a boxed retail version.

@heavyh2o

what sorta temps are you getting?

Idling around 36C right now. I will have to do some load testing.

If anyone is interested in an unopened retail 148 Opteron CABNE 0528GPMW send me a PM :)

Hey dude,

those temps are very high for water cooling, wht is your WC setup? You may have to get the opty naked to bring those temps down, my CABNE0530APMW also had poor temps with IHS on, but after removal on my WC, I am arnd 32C idle and between 39-42C load.

Results at http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=1662 for

OSA146DAA5BN
CAB2E 0540FPMW

Memtest86+ 1.55 from 618-3 bios

vcore - results

AUTO (1.4v) = 3000mhz - 4 full standard loops PASSED

1.425v = 3050mhz - 2 full standard loops PASSED

1.475v = 3100mhz - 8 full standard loops PASSED

1.5v = 3150mhz - 1 error on 1st pass of Test #4

So guess it's still one of the best cpus i've tested.

This is with very loose timings 2x 256MB Gskill PC4400LE TCCD 431 @282mhz 2.5-4-3-7 8-18-2223 on divider 180

Maxtcase = 65C with 10C offset :)

yes, i understand the temp is high!

:(

i have a 3700+ SD running 2.85 ghz naked with 1.6 volts and it runs a cool 44C's at 100% load.

So this chip which runs a whole 0.15 volts lower and 50 mhz faster runs 55-57C's 100% load!!!

i'm gonna keep the IHS on for now. I'm pretty sure this is a 3 ghz chip. I have one more 146 on the way from tankguys next week. We'll see how the two compare. I'll keep one and sell the other. Whichever I keep, I'll take the IHS off to lower temps for sure.

Excellent 146 CAB2E 0540. A lot better than the 144 CAB2E 0540 has been showing. Wonder if that's because the 146 has a higher multi (allowing lower HTT) or if they're being binned?

so CAB2E not bad at all.

As long as it's a 146, apparently.

do you really need to quote all images ? :)

yeah probably high speed binning there :)

Thanks.

EDIT: Which did you order, the OSA146BNBO or the OSA146BNBOXCABNE?

Heh, Swedish can be difficult...
I couldn't find any info about shipping to other countries or not.
You can always call them on 0046 303 15790.

I ordered OSA146BNBOXCABNE and paid 25 % more so I could choose code. I wanted CABNE 0530 or CABYE 0540. Then they called me up one week later and asked if I wanted CABYE 0540 FPMW and I said yesss! :toast:
Next shipping is nov 16.

True, but M & A are very common among good OC:ers AFAIK.

Can someone give me the adress to that German Opteron database? Can't find it... :stick:

Yea, I'd very interested too. ;) I really hope I can find some and get them here before they all disappear again. It's killing me here waiting for the shipment to come into the country.

awesome chip :)
Do you think it's better than 146 CABYE 0540 FPBW/FPMW?

I can't believe how great these Opterons are! the vcore is what's really amazing though, to get to 3 GHz on my San Diego I'm pushing 1.7V!
