pretty much all opterons, even crappy ones like mine, will get up to 2.7-2.8 if you have good enough cooling and throw lots of voltage at them.

Agreed, even the good steppings have bad eggs. I tried and tried but couldnt get mine to 3G prime stable no matter how much i wanted it to get there and its in the 3G list on the first post.
hi all!
I've got a CCBBE 0615EMPW wich its suposed than can do 3GHz.
With 1,360v i can do 2600MHz no errors in Orthos, but i cant go over that. I have tried with 1,55v and it cant do 2700. Just put 2700MHz and the Pc turns down or gives a nice blue screen.:confused:
The LTD multi is set at x2 so this cant be the problem, and the Ram has divider to run below 200MHz. I think that i forget something and i dont know what could be.:confused:
Could it be my PSU?? I have a Tacens Valeo Smart 560W.
I though that with this steping i could do at least 2,9GHz. Help!!!:(
PD: Sorry for my bad english....
I dont understand what you mean?! what is the number 1,360 reffering to?Quote:

1.36 vcore, some countries use , instead of periods... anyways, theres certainly an issue somewhere if the chip gets locked at 2600, its either a power/heat issue, or your bios settings arent configured properly.
As soon as it arrives, check the stepping, you can see It thru the plastic window, compare it to the database here, if its crappy, don't even open it up, just return it inmediatly, see if they can send you a 165 instead and maybe you'll get a refund or credit for the left over $$. That what I would do a least...Quote:

My temps arent very high, allways below 50ºC. There are a diference of 10 degrees between core 1 and 2, but i read that a lot of people has this problem reading temps with Core Temp. With SmatGuardian,temps are allways below 40ºC.
I'll take a look at "max async latency" and "read preamble" as Biohead said.
Hope that works.
Thanks
PD:and yes, i meant 1,360 vcore
can someone tell me what i can expect from this new opteron 165 i just resived today.
stepping is
LCB9E 0646RPMW
pls help i used all day googling for this stepping
and i cant desite if i scould send it back
wow, thats a very recent stepping. cant really give you advice, of course i would love to see what this chip does, but its not my decision as its your chip and money...
that's an X2 stepping, not an Opteron stepping.
well i couldnt help it sudenly the cpu was in my comp :cool:Quote:

just restarted to try higher mhz
Of course it's an opteron 165.Mine is LCB9E-0636-APMW.2.7-1.4v so far.At least it's better stepping than the ccbwe:p:
Hi
I tryed what biohead said about loosen "max async latency" and "read preamble" and now it seems that everything is right. Also, i changed the bios of the mobo to the latest one.
Now i can run orthos at 2700MHz 1,360v, but fails after 1 hour :mad: (before changes in memory timmings i cant run it 1 sec...), so i think that with a little more volts it could do it with no problems.
Now i'm at 1,440v and 2850MHz, no priming, just desktop, web and msn and it seems stable. I'll try Orthos later.
Thanks everybody for the answer, updates soon!!:cool:
Just got my opteron 175 today, stepping is CCBBE 0617 EPMW. Not sure how it will do, just glad i didn't get a CCBWE ! Will post results later once i have everything together.
its a known good stepping, you should be able to get at least 2.8 out of it.
0_0 that is a recent stepping!!!Quote:

I just want to add mine to the database. Just got an opty 170 from neutron express(of all places, but they're cheapest). the details are CCBBE 0615DPMW. boot and stable in winxp 64bit at 2700Mhz at default vcore. i was able to boot into windows at 2950Mhz with vcore at 1.55, but orthos failed instantly. i might need to play around with bios settings. right now i'm burning in at 2850Mhz at vcore of 1.55 running on a scythe infinity with silverstone fm11 120mm fan :). btw, what's the difference between toledo and denmark, please don't flame :).
denmark is the opteron equivalent of toledo
Just an update, so far, this CCBBE 0617 EPMW , completely stable @ 2.86 GHZ with stock volts... Bios reads 1.33 V. Haven't touched the volts so far, this thing looks to want to go higher on stock volts, would be nice to see what it can do once i push the V to 1.5! I am using an SI-128, w/ thermaltake 120mm fan at 1900 rpms. Temps max out at around 45 C. Still waiting for the AS 5 to settle in of course!
update the LCB9E 0646 was unable to run 2800mhz 1.34v stable but its close

i can never have good luck with ocing :(. i thought i got a gem of an opty 170 yesterday when i was able to boot into winxp 64bit at 2700Mhz at default vcore. then i proceed to 2850 with vcore at 1.55. i ran orthos for 90 minutes and then it crashed. since then, i can't get back to 2800 or 2850 no matter what vcore i throw at it :(. oh well, i'm at 2750Mhz now and orthos is running, hopefully more burn-in will help.
its probably just a bios setting. you cant just crank up the vcore on these chips, theyre not athlon xps, tweaking the memory controller is very important in order to get an oc. there are a lot of things to tweak like drive strengths, the max async latency and read preamble mentioned before, and there are settings that are particular to your chipset's bios, like in mine, tweaking the nmos drive strength and impedance reciver results in higher clocks. read up on your particular board and memory.
