Read about max. T-case and thermal offset here in this thread:

There's also a thread here on XS.

Monge :toast:

Thx...I already got the CBID ;) ...maxtcase is 59°C as I said before thermal offset is 3°C...

Hmm i got 2x 146 same stepping fpbw one has MaxTcase 63 and the another MaxTcase 63

1. MaxTcase 61c = much better of them about 80mhz+ more 24/7 speed 3040mhz+
2. MaxTcase 63c = very hard to go higher than 2950mhz super pi m1.

Lower MaxTcase gooder?

i dunno, but i think that maxT thing is all BS anyways, my opty read 57°, but it clocks up to 2.9ghz on air and stable.

After 2x8 hours of SP2004 I can get my 146 stable at 3ghz at 1,408V...but not stable at 3,1ghz with 1,5V...

It might be that the temps go too high @ 1.5V and SP fails. @ 1.4V temps still are ok and that is why it passes....

Cooling: TT BigTyphoon, ambient around 23ºC -> CPU 40-43ºC under stress

+8h30min now @ above settings :cool:
Nice rams...

I probably missed it but how do you see the MaxTcase?

Hey man, np. :)

My 2 146's shipped today from Alternate. Hope to get them pretty soon, and that they're from a good batch.
Thx again for the help. :toast:

I got an Opteron 146 PIB from Monarch earlier:
CABYE 0540FPMW #87 Max t-case 63c
I've only had it on water cooling with a Maze3 block so far.(IHS still on)
Stock voltage (1.40v in bios) got it upto 2800MHz stable.
1.425 2850MHz stable
1.475 2900MHz stable
1.525 2950MHz looks stable but i'm still testing.
I'm pleased with it so far, snagged it when it was $159USD ;)
My goal as many others is 3Ghz which i think will happen with more testing and tuning.

Still testing this, Prime95 stability is important. Using Big Typhoon.

Heres mine. Went to 2.83 @ stock voltage. Heres my max on air, dont want to go higher till I get better cooling.

I can't read all this stuff....Any ideas about "good" steppings in 170 or 165???

My 146 Opty is sitting at my houes waiting for me to come home and install it. I will get back Wednesday and hopefully have some numbers up by thursday night. I also got my RETAIL 146 for 159. Man, what a steal. If this thing even hits 2.7ghz, my 3500+ venice is out the door fo shizzle. From the sounds of things I am looking closer to 2800-2900 without hitting voltage even. MY lonely Venice stopped @ 2550 with stock vcore.

If you get a CABYE or CABNE I can almost gaurantee 2.7-2.8 with stock voltage. This is by far the most stable ive had. The better silicon quality really makes these opterons so worthy of overclocking.

Thanks for posting Prime95 results dnottis. Looking good :)

all right.

CABNE 0530APMW 2.9 ghz stable with only 1.45 volts
CABYE 0540FPMW 2.9 ghz testing with only 1.45 volts

i can get it OCCT stable at 3 ghz with 1.47 volts but can't get it to prime for longer than 10 minutes.

am I board limited or am just having awesome bad luck (2.9 is awesome but can't get to 3.0 which is bad)?

After a 2 x 8hours of SP2004 @ 3ghz 1.424V I`m now able to run it at same speed with 1.408V :toast: But can`t get it stable at 3.1ghz even at 1.5V...and can`t get to windows at 3.2ghz with 1.55V... :slapass:

Well Kohan got his 146 today. went over to his house and clocked it up on stock cooling.

It did 2.9ghz with 1.45volts in bios which relates to 1.4 in windows. At 1.375 (windows) it is stable up to 2.85ghz

the stepping is 0540 CABYE.. which as most of you have said are the golden chips and this one didnt disapoint.

btw this was all done on stock cooling and thermal pad. I imagine with some better cooling it will do 3ghz stable with 1.45volts.. MAYBE will need 1.5-1.55 for 3ghz.. Either way its one hell of a chip..

for reference, chip was had at monarch on thursday via retail box.

I will be getting my 146 from monarch tommorow, baring FedEx continuing to be a-holes.

im getting 146 0540 from tankguys tomoro ... fedex as well.. :) ... now i dunno whether to keep my 165 @2.7Ghz... or use the 146 @ 3Ghz... :rolleyes:

for most things the 165 would be better.. for 3dmark and super pi the 146 would be better. so i guess it maters waht ur doing.

soon enough everythign will be multi-threaded atleast to some extent and it wont be a contest.. but for now its highly application dependant.
