Opteron 175 Week: 530 (from NewEgg)
Running @2,700 Ghz. Temps: Iddle 39c Load:52-55c
RAM: 2 Gigs (1Gigx2) Mushkin Redlines PC4000 (3-3-2-8)
Vcore: 1.4375 Vdimm: 2.70
Air Cooled: AC Freezer 64 Pro w/MX-1 Tpaste (I love it)
Mobo: Asus A8N-Sli Premium (Heat Pipe)
I could get it to 2.9Ghz with no problem but temperatures were passing 55c on load. I like to keep it cool. Also I'm new to AMD world so I don't know if I should push it harder.
55C is getting hot dont take it passed 60C best to keep it below 50 or low 50s at leastQuote:

What would you guys do to keep same speed but lower temps? If I put the Vcore just a little lower it will fail Prime.
When did you order it?Quote:

0536XPMW is likely pretty bad.Quote:

Hmm Ic.. well including 165 and 170 optys.. what seems to be the easiest stepping out online that I can currently buy to get to 2.6? thanks
Anthing 0530 is dah king.Quote:

CCBWE 0534SPMW is 2700ish, too, I have one and I haven't seen anything bad from that one from anybody else. However, I have a 175 and the 170 didn't seem to do as well. Didn't see a 165 with that code.
If you order a random chip right now you'll likely get a 0546, which have been reported to do 2.6 GHz. However, I am not sure these people all did the dual-prime 48 hours blues.

Well, I just got my opteron 165 from monarch today that I bought during their 24 hour sale.
The stepping shows it's a brand new one:
OSA165DAA6CD
CCBWE 0546MPMW
The only person to have one of these so far was wicked, who's opty failed prime right out of the box so he sent it back. That really sucks but we will see. I don't get the HSF until tomorrow so I'm really pissed I won't be able to even plug it in. I won't know initial OC results until Thursday it seems.
*Crosses fingers*
Wish me luck!

It was able to run SuperPi at 2.8 GHz w/ 1.5 volts, but failed Prime95 pretty quick for anything over 2.6 GHz. Oh well, I won't complain since it is equivalent to a stock 60 FX, although that should go quite a bit further.Quote:

hey guys, been watching the thread now since the beginning. I was kinda dumb and didnt get one when they were $300. Anywhere to still get a decent week for a low price / decent price at all / Any dualcore opteron?
I'm at a loss for finding them..
Hello all, I'm a bit new to the scene, and thought I would add my results. I've only benchmarked with 3D Mark '03, never used the Pi program, I must get round to downloading it. Just changed the Cpu volts and the FSB speed, all other setting in Genie was left on auto, as I don't now which values to change for the best, more research is needed.
Didn't go above 1.45v, as until I checked this thread I wasn't sure it was a good idea, but now I think I'll go up to 1.7v. If temps are low, ie below -20, can I just keep pumping the volts up to max? I presume the board goes above 1.7v
This is the highest so far.
260 x 11 = 2860mhz
34938 3D'03 marks
Nothing special, this combo of hardware is rock stable, cpu is the weak bit, left vdimm at 2.7 and not needed to touch it. Everytime a speed was unstable increasing the cpu volts fixed it. Motherboard and memery just lap it up, very pleased with them.
I'm going to push more volts through the Cpu as temps have barely increased from stocks speed/volts (-35 to -40 but smart guardian temps/volts jump up and down like a yo-yo) .
Sorry for all the text, not 100% on forum use yet, I'm still learning. When I get to the upper limits and have a decent OC to report I'll do a screen shot and include super pi readout, if that's the norm.
Thanks
another nice 0544 XPMW
just some basic watercooling and heatspreader cut off
http://mitglied.lycos.de/xxmartin99/...2800@1.392.png
:slapass: a lot of those crappy X2 4800+ out there
^Don't just keep pushing the volts as far as they can go, 1.7v should be max for benching and max OC and stuff but for 24/7 I wouldn't go over 1.65v. then again, I've never used phase and don't really know the "rules" for DC phase :rolleyes: (to chull)
Anyway my CCBWE 0534 165 is running solid at 2700MHz 1.475v as you can see in my sig. 1.45v passed prime for almost 5hrs but CS:S froze after about an hour, so now I'm burning in at 1.4 and 1.375 to try and get it stable at 1.45 2700MHz
Thanks Repoman, I don't know the rules for Phase either, this is exciting yes?
:D
Nice clock with nice temps.. I wish I had those temps.Quote:

I think I'm going to jump on the watercooling wagon. I honestly didn't think was that good.
what is acceptable for Chipset area on a NF4 board,, my chipset is located between my two 7800gt cards on the DFI expert and it reaches like 49c on dual prime load and like 53c and more on full video load with cards heating up to around 60c load,,,

default voltage of 1.3! :)
looks promising
did some dual superpi 1M tests at default.
2.5 ghz stable at default! :)
2.6 ghz errors out on core 1.
This is as high as my 0543TPMW would allow while staying at 1.65+-Vcore. its not my 24/7, but its the chips max...

Tried to get on your forum but they would not let me as I only have hotmail.
That's pretty good for a 180... My 180 on water does 2.7 @ 1.5v 100% stable and will do 2.8 stable at 1.7v but the temps are just a bit too high for me to consider running 24/7 until I get my new chilly1 unit in. At that point I'll be chopping this procs head off and then letting the juice flow in hopes of 3+ghz stable.
good first resultsQuote:

I'm hoping that my phase will give me 3GHz out of mine for benching AT LEAST :D
can you crank that cooler on stock settings and see how low it can idle before the cold bug kicks in

Auto/auto is 1.3v.

I've decided that it's definately time to nakify the 180. Going to bring home a nice new sharp blade with me from work tomorrow and proceed to slice her off after I walk through the door.
Hoping that it will straigten out my one buggered core giving me a nice stable 2.9ghz... /me prays that this chip will be a good candidate for the new phase.
what's your custom WC setup.......like are you running a Storm block or?Quote:

It was the best setup I could build back when I put it together without having to get on any waiting lists for a good custom block (G4/G5). I'm very content with the loop and haven't felt that it's due for upgrading yet as I'm waiting on my chilly1 U2-UFO to come in. Once that's in I'll yard the wc gear out of the current rig, toss the cpu block, hook everything else back up and continue to keep my wc's vid cards and possibly my chipset if I upgrade to an Expert during the gear swap. At 1.5v this setup keeps my DC Opty at a pretty chilly 18-19*c and under load about 39*c on a cool night with the windows open.
The IHS comes off today! Maybe I'll be able to ding 2.8 or 2.9 w/ it off (what a dreamer i am... lol). I'll take an extra stable 50mhz, lol!

Changed my waterblock to swiftech Apogee. Still need to burn some more.
I hope it helps to bring down volts. :)
so... i have a CCBWE 0530 tmpw sitting on my bed and has been waiting to be used for about 2 months, but i havent been able to due to me not having a computer. well im about a week or 2 away from getting the rest of my parts, and i was wondering, can i expect 2.7/2.8 from this on air (TT big typhoon)? What is the average speed on air of 0530 tpmw's?

My 165 0546 tpmw just came from monarch. Windows is installing now, anyone care to guess what i might be able to get from it?
around 2.7-2.8 an air maybe more from water. The 175's seem to be the only one to be breaking 2.9-3.0 on air...or water that and the 170's

Probably what I'm getting with the same chip, 2.55 - 2.60 (from Monarch today). Not very exciting but a lot of chip for 299.00....Quote:

last screenie of my 165 :banana:
Alright gang... Decided to pop the top on my 180 tonight and see what she could do. First thing I noticed right off the bat was the 12+*c temp drop, definately something wrong with the contact between the core and my waterblock. She now runs at 38*c full load @ 1.64vcore, not too shabby, before she was at or above 50*c at the same voltage.
Next thing I noticed was the ability to clock to 2.9ghz easily (still priming for stability but the preliminary results look good!).
Here are a few shots of her naked and also priming at 2.9, just hoping she stays stable! If so it looks as if I might have a winner for the new phase unit that chilly is putting together for me. Prime's only been running for about 30 mins in the screeny but as you can see it's not instantly erroring out which means I have a pretty good chance of being able to make this chip 2.9 100% prime stable.
Yay for naked 180! :woot:
Oh and here's the CPU-Z link for anyone who cares, hehe... http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=58588
I dont have the nuts to pop the top on a $300 cpu :banana: let alone a $500 one.
To scared the core will chip or crack.
Mines seems to have exceeded my expectations, right now its at 300x9 with 1.425vcore. Just needs to pass the 8 hour prime test tonight :D
Jesus where are they $500? I just got mine like a month ago and shelled out $800 for it!
I took my chances on a newegg proc knowing that it's more expensive than monarch and that newegg chips in general seem to be shat batched.... But, when u have $6000 worth of credit to play with at newegg the toys seem to usually come from there, lol.
naked is bad
look at this, i did that it's better:

less dangerous 4 the core and better contact between heatsink and cpu :)

Went for 8 hour dual prime stable, and core 0 couldnt take it, the second one seems to be the stronge one.

goin to try for 2.8 but i dont think the first core will make it without more vcore, and i dont think i want to give it more.
Did u guy's select that XPMW ? or just lucky ?
I have just ordered a new 170 it will arive 02-01-06 so i wil have to wait a week ore 3. I hope i can do 2.8 ghz. My last 4400+ had 2650 As max ! 1.65v and my 165 did 2550 @ 1.6. So no luck for me :) My venice is doing 2850 @ 1.61v that quite nice. So i'm hoping for 2.8 ghz dual core.
Hi guys, excuse my laziness as i will be honest in admitting I don't feel like reading 43+ pages of this thread among others for an answer.
I just got myself an ATI X1800XT card and am severely limited on my old and cheasy Winchester 3200+ @ 2.48GHZ. I want to jump the gun and get myself an Opteron 175 Dual core cpu but am unsure what to check for. I am not going to order online as my local shop can stock these. I just want to know what to look for. If anyone could be so kind as to take a few minutes to answer the following it would be greatly appreciated.
1.) What stepping SHOULD I look for in regards to both date code and last 4 digit code.
2.) What stepping SHOULDN'T I go for.
3.) Anything else I should know/check for if the cpu is in my hands for inspection?
I have had very crappy luck with cpus for years now. My Mobile Barton only did 2.4ghz which is crap compared to others. This winchester is no different. For ONCE I would like a good, fast cpu as changing one is quite the effort in my case. I am hoping for 2.6ghz 1M cache 110% stable on each core. Obviously this can't be guaranteed but if anyone knows a way to better my chance please do share.
Thanks guys.
You could at least read the last 2 pages. But the 0546 XPMW looks verry nice 2.8 ghz @ 1.4v if u have a good one. Its alway's a guess.Quote:

what were your load temps like?
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&d=1135308975
That was about 30-40 minutes in to the testing... The screeny in my last post still has one core going after about 20 hours thus the temp is not my idle temp but more of a semi loaded temp.
Need to think of something to cool my pwm's though... I have a fan directly over them but it's not doing much good as u can see.
alright guys. I know none of you answered my question, but thats alright. I happened to see the sweet deal for $270 from monarch..
So I picked up a little 165 and a DFI Exper SLI-DR. We'll see what she does when it gets here.
Anyone have a clue what week # they're putting out right now?
Edit: Also...still need a heatsink. Was thinkin' Scythe Ninja. Any thoughts? What seems to be the best?
0546 most likely from what i have read...

I can't put much more Vcore because my heatsink is not that good (temps rise to 65-66C @ 1.4V). That's why I ordered a TT Big Typhoon, which I will receive next week, to push this CPU harder. Also, in a month or so, I'll be getting my modded phase change unit back from Chilly1. I hope this CPU dont have a cold bug :D
Same stepping as my 180.:DQuote:

Yea gaara that's not fair lol. I just got a 0546SPMW.... Hopefully it hits 3ghz!
I think 1.65v should be fine. Venice cores and SD can run it so DC core cpu's can to chip is the same u only need to keep it cool.
It seems to be staying at a very decent temperature... I've got it idling as low as 18*c at night, it jumps to about 24*c during the day when it's not quite as cold.
Load temps never go beyond 38*c and have been as low as 32*c.
Same stepping as mine, not sure if its the same week.Quote:

Would do more but the first core is a slouch and doesnt really wanna go any farther, while the second core goes to 2.8+ on the same voltage, kinda annoying:rolleyes:
Not to mention 1.68 V is DFI speak for "1.75 actual".Quote:
