1.7V for 24/7.. what are the temps?!
As a follow up to my settings. I was thinking that some stable and non-defective Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB running at 280MHz would certainly help this config so that I can do 2,800 MHz at (280 x 10 x 3) with 1:1 memory at 280MHz.
I know that this is doable from the XtremeSystems - 2x1GB/1x1GB OC Database info shown but I'm so weary of all the dead Ballistix that this might not be worth the trouble. Especially when you consider that some of these chips failed weeks after they were purchased.
I know that this is just one of those illogical "I wanna, wanna, wanna..." feelings but 280MHz at 1:1 FSB (HTT) sure would sound nice.... along with a 0530 chip. ;)
My saving grace is that I got where I am today with this system and I didn't burn-out my parts... at least not yet I hope.
It wasn't exactly where I wanted to be since I was hoping for miracle of a chip that would do 2.9GHz or 3.0GHz on air or even a 2.8GHz at low 1.550V max voltages but we can't have everything we want in life especially when you can't custom pick the processors you purchase from online dealers. (Hint, hint... Newegg come in, provide a service to tell us your current in-stock CPU release batches for the hardcore OC'ers so they can pick and choose their CPUs.)
But anyway, 6-months to a year down the line these OC's won't matter since the 180 Opties will drop in price and maybe provide better yields and and we'll have 185's, 190's, and so on available.

Tomorrow after the overnight Prime95 strees test is finished I'll post a picture of the cooling setup in my case. You'll like the huge Zalman right next to a 120mm case fan sucking the air through the holes in the front of the Lian-Li case turning the whole case into a giant, perforated heatsink. Stay tooned...
You have 45C with dual prime on air?! What ambient do you have - 10C?
he's using DFI Expert which under reports idle temps by at least 10-15C and under reports load temps by 15-25C at least :)Quote:

Hi what shoudl i expect from 144up CABNE 0545 BPMW?:D
1x2800Mhz Primestable.But never 2x2800Mhz.
OK, I revisited that 0530 I got.
This is on air (Big Typhoon), in my new DFI Infinity SLI board, Zalman 400B PSU, 2 GB ECC memory.

http://www.cons.org/cracauer/oc-scre...135v-primt.jpg
So an excellent low-volt clocker, although it wasn't happy to go very high. I think I found my new server chip.
I've been hearing about DFI underreporting temps and voltages but I'd like to test the extent of this with a DMM. Unfortunatelly, the little mini RadioShack DMM that I have only does voltages and doesn't do temp readings, I broke the big DMM that had a temp reader. I'm hoping that maybe a friend of mine could bring over his DMM so I can test the CPU at load or at the worst I'll have to stop by RadioShack again and invest in a real DMM.Quote:

As for my 2,805 MHz clocking through the overnight, that was a no-go. After 1-hour 56-minutes the bastard Core#1 failed again. This shouldn't have happened I thought but since my computer woke me up at 4AM when it stopped I didn't have time to figure out what's wrong.
I just set the system down to 2,750 MHz at 250 x 11 x 4 and start it again. It's been running for 9-hours 40-minutes with the same temps and voltages as before. I'm going to let it run for a while since I don't need to use that system for anything right now. At least I hope to have a stable record of Prime95 at 12-hours at this speed.
Now that I think of it, I did drop the voltages on the LDT to 1.30V and Chipset back down to 1.52V before I started testing the 2,805 MHz last night. I'm wondering if these lowered voltages are what caused the stoppage. I do remember one or two people making posts regarding upping the LDT voltage by 0.1V to stabilize their system. I'll restart it again at 2,805MHz but at LDT 1.50V and let it go again overnight.
Excuse me if i post here some general questions, but since my new rig will be based on Opteron 175 and i have intention to overclock all the system i would want ask to expert guys like you... please be patient!!!:)
My spec:
- CPU: Opteron 175
- MB: DFI Expert
- EVGA 7800GT CO (470/1100)
- HD: Hitachi 250Mb SATAII
- MDVD: Philips 1648K
- Floppy
- PSU: Seasonic S12-600
1) What is better to push to the limit (:D) the above system: Mushkin Redline PC 4000 2x1GB or OCZ Platinum EB 2x1GB? ---> This question is mainly for :worship:Eva2000!!!
2) Do you think that i can have some problem with the Seasonic PSU for this system? (like not enough A on the rails,etc.)
Thanks you VERY MUCH:bows:
OTT:
id personally go for the gskill HZ set (they consistantly clock better)
im almost positive the s12 600 can handle this, i hear people talking about the 500 handling a rig like yours. and for :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:'s sake i sure hope it can handle it because i have a very similar setup as yours and i ordered a s12 600w
Well, i think the S12-600 should be fine, but...
We are on same boat!!!:surf: ehm surf:D
Thanks for the reply
Just got my Opt 170 CCBWE 0546XPMW Retail from Mwave.com that I ordered on Monday.
I read postings of good results.
Can I get some results from owners of this stepping? Thanks
I will be getting OEM Opt 165 from Monarch tomorrow. I will post the stepping as well for those who are interested.
it says right in the screenie in white text what cpu it is 0546XPMW ;)Quote:

so working on it heh
OTT, if you can find good pair of 2GB OCZ PC4000EB go for it mine are beta OCZ group samples (basically retail) that do max 3D 278mhz 3-3-2-5 and max 32M superpi 282mhz 3-3-2-5 all at 2.64v
Ok i'm a bit worried about "whispers" of E6 defective chips...
I am holding in my hands right now ... brand new sealed Opteron 165 0530TPMW. Sexy!
Woohoo! It just got here. Opteron 165: CCBWE 0546MPMW
Just need to get a heatsink now...
Do I have to reinstall Xp if I'm just switching cpus?
opt 175 to opt 170?

I'm very impressed with this processor so far. It has already done practically everything that was unobtainable with my X2 4400+ that I paid $635 day of release for.
I'm not going to claim absolute success because I've only tested stability to the point of a run through 3dMark05 (scored 12553, my highest yet) and 15+ minutes of dual prime. This is all on air.
And of course the question you've been thinking since the beginning of my post, it's a CCBWE 0546XPMW.
Will post back with more results but just wanted to say I'm very impressed. This is a keeper in my book.
EDIT: This is at 1.56v on an RDX200 (my X1800XT's were stock for that 12553 score). 2800 was not stable at 1.52v but 2700 seemed to be. I'm not planning on running those volts through it 24/7 or anything, I'm just trying to see where I can go. I don't think I can trust the ITE Guardian that came with the RDX200 because, according to that, my idle temps are 23C and my load temps are about 34C. Prolly not.
EDIT2: Don't read too much into my volt numbers. I'm not a patient OC'er and I'm finding that I'm changing more than one parameter at a time. I'm not so sure that I can't hit 2700 stable at 1.4v for instance. Still playing quite a bit, and I'm a newb with RDX200 OC'ing so that may play a role. I'll update as I play.
EDIT3: As a funny side note, I have 3 machines running on a BACK-UPS RS 800 and everytime I start a 3dMark05 run, it starts beeping at me cause of load. :)
Well, my 175 is dual prime stable at 2.65ghz at 1.4v. I haven't tried to up it further, but I will soon.
opt 170 0546xpmw running dual stress cpu right now 2.55 @ def or 1.33 (cpuz)
I ran 2.5 @ def for 2 hours no problem. Now just testing with stress cpu then overnight prime
better than my 175 0543 which needed 1.45ish to get 2.6
happy so far.
getting my opt 165 from monarch tomorrow so more testing on the way
How'd you get it? I've got my 170 0530TPMW coming this afternoon. I'll be using Storm- can't wait!!:woot:Quote:

How about MORE VOLTS? :) Mine is having crappy temps for now.. mounting, maybe.
What kind of temps you guys get with 2.8 GHz 1.5V dual priming with something close to a Big Typhoon?
Got some bad news. My CPU at 2,805 MHz is not stable as you can see from the pictures below. Tried it at LDT 1.30V and 1.50V. I didn't try it at CPU 1.74V since that wasn't stable at a previous try of 2,850MHz and the voltage is a bit more than I wish to push it with since it is alread running at 45C load and some folks mentioned that DFI underreports the temps from 5C to anywhere around 15C.
So it looks like 2,750 MHz is it for this CPU.
(Edit: AMD Opteron 175 Dual-Core 2.2GHz 1MB 90nm 939 11x CCBWE 0543TPMW - 2,750MHz (250x11x4), 1.70V (1.55Vx109.6%), 45C Load)

yeah using 2GB OCZ PC4000EB @ 275mhz 3-3-2-8 8-18-2-2-2-3 at 2.64v for that OCCT run didn't take A64tweaker for that run thoughQuote:

ok. this is the beginning results for my 165 0546:
did 2.6 at default vcore (1.35 is it?). didnt go prime of anything, just sandra and poked around with ram.
pushed her to 300x9 with 3/4 divider (my ram isnt that good)
posts and boots at dfeault vcore, but prime crashes in first 5min until at 1.475.
So, priming at 1.475 right now. 45min in so far. 45C(smartguardian)
all volts are per bios and temps are per smartguardian.
CCBWE 0530 TPMW retail from like 2months ago from Newegg. 2.7ghz at default vcore on Sapphire mobo and nothing higher no matter the volts. This thing runs hot with my storm. 57c dual k7 cpuburn. Took the IHS off and now running 2.850 at 1.556volts. Still hits 48c though. My PA120.3 is cold to the touch so go figure. Maybe I need more pumping power, but the water seems to flow fine when I checked inside the reservoir.
Nice one situman :toast:
Anything over 2.75 100% torture stable is excellent and not seen as often as I (and I am sure many others :D ) would like
situman, I just picked up a PI Grouper board too, so..... we'll see what my 175 can do :) updates to come.
Your OCCT run only used half the power of each core, not fully testing it's stability. If you can find a way to run two instances then do it and give those cores a run for their money! :)Quote:

hey guys, got a question here. (Forum's finally back up, yay)
My core0 keeps failing at many different voltages.
Any way to strengthen it?
Cuz core1 is just fine with 1.4v for 2.7ghz, whereas core0 needs to go higher, and as of now cant do 2.75without getting even more voltage. Kindof annoying.
But, other than that, so far i had 2.6 at stock just fine, did prime it though.
Got 6hrs of priming at 2.7ghz 1.5v before i stopped it to go higher
did 2.75 at 1.525v (i think) last night, core 1 is still going after 7hrs, but core0 died after 3hrs
(0546)
This Opteron 170 0546XPMW is sweet
@2930mhz!!!
X1800XT stock heatsink @756/909

anyone have more info?
is 1.6volts considered "safe" for 24/7.
i do not think so. 1.6v is too high for 24/7 unless you are maybe using phase-change coolingQuote:

I'll be more comfortable with it in a few weeks once chilly gets my unit shipped off.
I ran 1.62V 24/7 on air on my X2 3800+ for a few months. No problems

Uhh except now you have 2 cores in the same area? Not really seeing what the issue is, you're running a fairly good OC and the chip screams - 51C.. big f-u-c-k-i-n deal - at the end of the day, it still runs right?Quote:

I would hope that the chip will last at least 3 years, because by then I would have gotten a new cpu anyway.....
Well, as I said, nobody has any data on it. Personally I expect it not to be a drastic reduction of lifespan, certainly still worth the extra performance for less money. But this is simply a guts statement.Quote:

yeah 1.35-1.40 is what AMD has on their site so I guess you can use 1.40. My asus sets it to 1.35 if I use "CPU Default". I think maybe the Optys get an additional 0.05 for some reason.
On another note when I was browsing the AMD site, I found there are apparently 2 different variants of E6 4400+ :
http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desk...=ADV4400DAA6CD
http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desk...=ADA4400DAA6CD
So one is an "ADA4400DAA6CD" and the other is a "ADV4400DAA6CD". What is the difference? I see one is 110W and the other is only 89W. Can someone tell me about these?

do you guys think newegg resells OEM cpus that come back from RMA or do they send them back to AMD? im just wondering trying to speculate where the heck this chip came from.
Ji 4Tze did it look used at all when you got it? any scratches or anything on the IHS? did you see any evidence of prior installation (heatsink grease etc)? very odd

Ivan - no, it's a scene from evermotion.org forum, this classroom scene was something like a testbed for GI renderers.
Hey, so I got a 170 (0543 TPMW) a few days ago. I'd really like a 0530, how do you guys go about this situation?
Thunderstruck
HMM..I have not seen a ecent 170 0530 hit 3Ghz(at least on air)..most reporting 2700-2800..which is nice 30-40% overclock but by %my opty 165 @>45% is doing better..I just can not get 2700...my goal...
Are you sure? I could have sworn I've been seeing the 170 0530 hit 2950 or higher very often on this thread?Quote:

Just wanted to post pictures of my stable 2,750MHz. It is also 3D stable since I've played Battlefield 2 online with it for many hours.

I saw a few others too, I thought it was 0530 hitting roughly 3000 and the rest finding between 2700-2800.
SPI 1m isn't a sign of stability :fact:

Noticed that the cpu temp rarely goes above 50C under full load on both cores...so was wondering if temps are limiting my overclock or is it just the chip that maxes out at around 2.6?
Gonna move it to watercooling soon to see if that helps, but have my doubts...
thats not a good overclocker, you should be under that
im currently trying to get stable with my 170 at 2600 1.45, so close
"should be under"? ...so my OC IS ok then?
Is temps an issue?
And how much voltage can these chips handle?...
