Room temp 10c? man arent you getting a cold :exclaim:
I hate the dam 0550 vpmw's
Why you ask?
Because I have its little brother (0550 upmw) and mine craps at 2.8ish, and prime blend... Haaa whats that
^That went fine:clap:Quote:

I wish I could try 3.1 though.. damn:banana:
ok - got my chip!! Opty 175 CCBWE 0550UPMW
http://venus.walagata.com/w/agunn/My175.JPG
The default vcore came up at 1.29v. I was able to hold that vcore up until 2.53ghz... I am now dual priming at 1.37 vcore at 2.61ghz and 38c max temp... I ran 3dmark06 before that and got 7800! I'm going to prime here over night to help the AS5 to set then toss some more vcore and fsb at it tomorrow... I'm hoping for 2.8ghz... I am thinking I should be able to hit that with 1.50 vcore or so (+or- .02v)... I'll post screen shots later.. must eat now.. wow.. blood sugar bottoming out. ;)
Better than the one I have @ 2.6 (I'm dealing w/ that issue ASAP :D )

Does that sounds good?
Edit: After some reading I would say yes. I'll try it tomorrow.

First, I want to welcome Lord KneeGrow to the forum. This is a great place to learn from, and I have found members to be generally quite supportive. Decent overclocks will come with time, if you follow the advice of the long time posters.
I started my new system up about a month ago, and it has definitely been a work in progress. When I first designed my new computer system, I expected an immediate and stable 2.6-2.7 GHz result out of the box. It didn't happen.
I struggled to hit 2500 MHz, and nothing I tried seemed to work. Then I took the time to read ALL of the posts on this thread, and got some really good information to try and work with.
I decided to remount my Zalman HSF to see if I could make it run better. Once I remounted my Zalman HS/fan with a THIN layer of AS5, I got a stable clock of 2600 MHz( 100 MHz over previous effort with no other changes).
I reread some material from here regarding voltage vs temp limits, and tried dropping the voltage a bit. This got me to a stable 2660 MHz (a gain of 60MHz). Unfortunately, I was noticing an undervolage issue with my Vantec Stealth 470W PSU, and although I ultimately hit a Prime 95 stable 2700 MHz, my voltages (particularly on 12 V+ rail) were all down significantly.
Before I went any further, I decided that I would have to replace my PSU. The OCZ Powerstream 600W PSU was the apple of my eye, but at the last minute I decided to go with one of the New Enermax Liberty 620W PSu's because of the modular cable design.
Yesterday, I replaced my PSU. My voltages went up significantly on all rails, and I was able to bump my OC to 2730 MHz Dual Prime 9 stable. In fact, as I sit right now, I am only using 1.325 V in BIOS (1.296 showing in Smart Guardian).
There was a sale on fan controllers at my favorite computer store, so I decided to throw one in and see if manually tuning the individual fan speeds would help. I was surprised at the big difference.
Before (with 1.350 V in BIOS) and 2700 MHz, I was hitting 46 C on CPU, 50 C on PWM, and 43 C on chipset under load with dual Prime 95 running (temps taken after appx 3 hrs).
Now, with 1.325 V in BIOS and 2740 MHz, I am hitting 37 C on CPU, 36 C on PWM, and 38 C on chipset under load with dual Prime 95 (temps taken after appx 7 hrs).
To say I am happy is an understatement:)
But even more good news. The new power supply is allowing my Muskin Redline memory to run tighter (and higher) than ever before. I am memtest stable to 262 MHz using 1:1 divider, and have timings working at 3-3-2-6.
I hope this info gives insight into the need to have a decent PSU and balancing/having adequate airflow. It made all the difference for me.
Now for a dumb question. I see everyone posting screen shots to show results, but I am unsure how to do this. Could someone walk through the process from capuring the image off the computer to posting it here?
Just hit [alt] and [Print Screen] and you have a screenshot saved in the clipbook, then open Windows Paint and paste it there.Quote:

The best way is to use a little proggy called Irfanview, here is a link and a guide of how to use it here @ http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t...ight=irfanviewQuote:

So, what are the hot stepping DC opty's? I.E. the CABNE 0530 of today? I am looking to go dual core from my opty 148 and am unsure as to what is best. I have only really seen one stepping so far which is hte CCBWE's and they seems to vary alot...
Thanks for the help!

0550VPMW is the hot dual core stepping, akin to 0530APMW, however they are very coldbugged. Very good CPUs though, i run mine 24/7 at 3.15 Ghz on water. Most are still good for 2.9-3 Ghz with sufficient cooling. The scary thing is, many people have better 170s than me (glares at Clint).
*sigh*...I wish my opty could do 3.1 GHz :(
Me too :( , but when I get my phase from kayl it WILL do 3.1GHz :DQuote:

Does anybody know the best place to sell and buy processors? I'd like to get rid of this 0551 UPMW 165 and get a 0550 UPMW. My original plan was to upgrade, not downgrade from my old processor.

None will do more than 2.65Ghz on stock volts even with mid 30's Deg temps which is ok but not great. Core 1 always bombs out on low volts then anything over 1.5v core 1 fails - proberbly heat related as it get around 50 deg. Im wondering whether theres something else in my system holding me back as these chips peak at almost the same as my other 2 165's 0551 UPMW & VPMW and it seems too much of a cooincidence 5 chips all maxing out 2.75-2.77Ghz.
Ive tried higher chipset & LDT voltages, lowered by HTL to 2x, lowered by ram divider. My room temp is quite low 15Deg. Could the bios be the problem, Ive tried Tony's 704-2bta & 623-2bta?
Wellllll... being that I hate IHS's I popped mine off last night.. yes, on a 2 hour old chip.. lol.. it worked, that's all I needed to know before I grabbed the box cutter and went to work... it litterally took 30 seconds.. maybe less... the glue was soft, and the box cutter only exposed just the corner tip of the blade, which was the pefect safe depth.. I made two passes and it came right off.. whew.. easiest one yet...

Sooooooo.. that was fun... I burned in the cpu at 2.5ghz all night running dual prime at 1.29 vcore (default) and am now tossing some more FSB and vcore at it... I am testing at 2.75ghz with 1.47 vcore now.. yeah, sadly this does not appear to be one of the uber magic 0550UPMW's, but I'll hit 2.8 with it I am sure.. which is all I really "needed" to hit in my mind.. anything over that will just be icing on the cake... one important note is that my psu has been straining a lot, and it dips down to 11.67 on the 12v rail when I dual prime, so I have a new one on the way.. a much more powerful one.. Topower 750 with a 40 amp 600W 12v rail.. Topower makes psu's for OCZ and other high end companies.. I am hoping more stable 12v power will lower the amount of vcore I need to maintain an OC.. we'll see. :)
All I can find on ebay are 0551s, for obvious reasons. Since the 0550s are becoming rare, a new 3800 X2 may be the way to go.Quote:

This is on water with a Zern block
Its not prime stable but is usable. I didn't try benching as I'm not too comfortable with the volts, even though temps are ok.

Devious - my guess is you've got a bottleneck somewhere else in your setup. Maybe RAM related? Seems like most 0550VPMWs will do 2.8. It is very unlikely that you would get three and none of them would perform well!
I would try putting one of your VPMWs in a friend's system to see what kine of clock you could get
good luck
still waiting on my peltiers, mail from canada is too slow :(
It seems almost every dual core Opteron has one core that is stronger than the other. My strong core is core 0, which would probably hit 2900 MHz on air if it had it proper match. However, core 1 has started crapping out on me at anything over 2800 MHz.
I have tried more volts (up to 1.425), and things get worse. I have tried less volts (down to 1.300), and things get worse. I thought perhaps it was a memory issue, so I dropped down to a 12 divider, and that didn't help.
So, I have decided to burn in core 1 using a "CPU Burn in" application. Now the question is which one? I am looking for a software pkg that allows me to designate one core or the other, and I can't seem to find one.
I heard CPU Burn was a good program, but I don't see how I can set just one core.
Is there anything out there that will do the job? Please help!:confused:
