i'm having serious problems today with my 165 OC! i can run stress tests untill i'm blue in the face,and its perfectly stable. however if i shut my pc down or try to reboot i have to clear the bios to get it to boot ??? ive tried everything. upped voltages, lower HT link, you name it. i just updated my bios so hopefully that will do something, but i'm not going to hold my breath. any idea's ?

Could be your mobo? Never heard of an Evga mobo kind to overclocking.... :(

the mobo is actually made by Jetway which where rated very high. it's been running a 3200+ Venice @ 2.7 for months with no issues. :confused:

Update:

i *think* i found the problem. it seem's my OCZ doesn't play nice with my dual core! i was hearing this ever so slight beep, and that got me thinking. usually a single beep meens mem right ? so i swapped them memory out with some generic stuff outta my wifes machine, and now after 6 or 7 reboots it has fired up every time and the *beep* is gone .. the OCZ is fine in the wifes machine, no probs. weird eh ...

Out of these 4 steppings,
1. CCBBE 0617 FPMW
2. CCBBE 0615 DPMW
3. CCBBE 0610 DPMW
4. CCBBE 0615 EPMW
which one would OC the most in a rig composed of:

Motherboard: CFX3200
Mem: 2x1GB XMS Twin 3500LL (433)
PSU: M12-600

with 120.3 + 2 pump + Storm WC.

CCBBE 0617 FPMW seems to be the best performer out of all in my opinion..
i got mine running at 3150MHz prime stable.

i guess proof is in the pudding..

@likewhoa, nice MBM config!

oh yea... nice clocks on that opty as well ;)

Hmmm, but that is a opty 165, will the stepping for a 165
apply for a opty 175? :confused: hmmm...

@itznfb thanks man :)

topaimz possibly but i'm no sure..

my 165 should get here tomorrow from newegg ca store. Should I run the stock heat sink on it or throw my old thermalright sp 120 on it? It might sound like a dumb question but I was reading about the quad piped stock fans and they sounded pretty good.

hi my 170 also 0610 but I never oc over 2.83g with stable dual prime, my mobo is expert and using 2 x 1g g.skill HZ. Could you post your ram setting? many thks.

May vary with ram and mem controller. With that said also keep in mind that there is nothing to be gained by running it above 1000Mhz.

Here you go. My ram has infineon chips. For this speed they are at 2.7v. I can get them 3d stable as high as 272Mhz, that takes 2.84v.

you'll hit about 285 before it become 3d-unstable on those ;) atleast that's what mine encounter.

Hey, what cooling are you using? and did you remove the IHS?

I have the same stepping on my opty, as soon as I work out some better cooling than the stock AMD cooler I'm gonna try to get past the 3-3.1GHz barrier.

check my sig :D
btw no IHS.

I did some testing on my new Opty I can boot @3006 334x9 @1.45v , 3x htt, 133/200 for the ram. However when I get above 50% cpu usage I lock. I am going to try raise the Vcore when I get my water setup. Is this my best bet to get stable? I would like my chip to last a while. Is the high voltage core going to kill my chip?

you should be ok up to 1.5v with that arictic cooler. what are your temps currently. with my OC i idle at 22-25c and load up at 35-38c, and i'm at 1.42v. @ 1.5v i only hit 40c absolute max, which is fine on air. even 50c is acceptable on air imo

got my opty 165 yesterday from newegg. Im not sure if I wrote the stepping down wrong but I think its a ccbbe0615epmv. I ran orthos all night at 2.843ghz w 1.5v and its stable. Did I right the stepping down right or should it be a empw?

165

opty came in yestarday CCBBE 0617 FPMW, cant use it yet cause im waiting on my asus a8n sli, this beast should hit at least 2.8 regarding your chart am i right?:P

I got an Opteron 165 CCBBE 0617 FPMW. Way better than my last one :)

damn would I like to have a 0617fpmw opty.. ah well, maybe I'll come across one.

twister, crank those volts and do some damage with 3.1+ man :woot:

How are you getting 40c absolute max with a xp-90? I'm using a Tuniq Tower 120 and I can get over 50C max.

I applied the AS5 just as AS silver instructs, with the 3/4 of a BB on the center of the heat spreader. Maybe it is my case air flow that is keeping my temps so high. I have a 120mm at front and back, albeit they are very quiet and dont push a tremendous amount of air.
