Air cooling.. Default vcore 1.312@2800mhz VPMW ;)
Very good result, 865pe
I literally hate you guys with VPMWs now, I got an 0543TPMW and it barely does 2.8 @ 1.55v
My 0551 barely does 2.6 @ 1.55V after burn in so I hate everyone. I heard AMD will raise prices soon so that would probably be a good time to sell this black sheep.Quote:

You better go with a 170 or 175 if you want that. I just need an average 2.85 GHz and I'll be happy.
Holding off for a Conroe may be a good plan now. Nice move AMD, releasing processors that only overclock a pathetic 50%. You're practically telling us to buy Intel.
I hope to god that was sarcasm :rolleyes:Quote:

It seams that this vpmw's are very stressed when testing mem ctrl. Anyone noticed that?
Mine can dual-prime small ffts with 1.46V (12h+) but for large ffts or custom (8-4096, with large ffts in place /15min) it needs bump to 1.5V. And 2GB are even more stressing than 1GB.
Well, i'm still :banana: with my 3Ghz duale ..
Well current LDBHE 06xx X2's are going down in price, and doing better than a lot of opties on air and water, not to mention phase. I'd jump on one of those if I didn't already have an awesome opty ;)Quote:

I sold my CCBWE 0551 UPMW two days ago and I am going to get CCB1EQuote:

Mine UPMW did 2.75 -same as yours :)
Welcome to the club of CCB1E owners :toast:Quote:

Id go buy one, IF I COULD FIND ONE! Does anyone know where I can get my paws on an unused VPMW? Or on that is known to go to 3ghz????
You and me both bud. :slap:Quote:

I ran CPU Burn for about 6 hrs on my weak core on my Opty 170 0550 UPMW last night. Temperatures in Smart Guardian never got above 37 C at CPU.
I started running Dual Prime 95 at 2740 MHz with 1.350 V, and it failed almost
immediately! Note that I had done 2780 MHz for 4+ hrs with no problem before.
My new "stable" Prime 95 appears to be somewhere around 2670MHz with 1.350 Vcore(2 hrs stable so far). My load temps today are:CPU 42C, PWM 44C, and Chipset 39 C. If I try to bump up FSB, it fails. If I try to raise Vcore, it fails:mad:
I thought burning in the CPU would help, but now it is worse:confused:
Have I somehow damaged my CPU, or am I just missing something?
Should I try a different HSF (Currently using Zalman CNPS9500)?
Options for new HSF include: Thermaltake Big Typhoon, Thermalright XP90C with Vantec Tornado fan, Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro, Gigabyte G-Power Cooler Pro, or Scythe Ninja with 120 mm fan.

I am in the same canoe as you (all) with 0550upmw's which barely get to 2.8 with max comfortable vcore... and I even spent the extra $100 for a 175.. silly! I think I might get 2.8 with 1.6 but not sure it's worth the extra vcore... right now I can do 2.75 @ 1.52... anything lower core0 bombs within 10 mins... I even popped the IHS on this one in the hope of adding a little extra UMMMPH to it's OC.. no dice.. it does run cooler tho.. :) I dunno... I had high hopes for 2.8ghz with medium vcore.. I guess I can live with 2.75.. but I feel dissapointed whenever I sit down at my desk now. lol. I should be happy I got this far, but oh well.. that's the spoiled hardware brat in me I guess... I think I might sell this one, or sell my 3ghz 3700 and grab a vpmw off good ol ebay.. :)
Is that delidded 170 worth buyin? 2.9 @ 1.4 seems pretty good. I just want 3ghz.
Wellllllllll - it's always a gamble buying something someone else says is a good OCer.. variances in mobo's voltage regulation and power supply voltage regulation.. etc.. might make a difference.. but I'd say at 1st glance this is the best easy to get potentially very good OCer chip within arms reach of you atm... or anyone.. the other option is open a thread on the forsale/fortrade forum stating you want to buy a 0550vpmw, etc... hardforums and anandtech have good and active selling/trading forums.. good luck to you! :)
As it sits right now, my Opty 170 0550 UPMW has failed dual Prime 95 at 2670MHz (after about 4 hrs):( I am retrying at 2650 MHz, and expect it will be fine there.
Part of me is upset that I slipped back a bit on my OC. With others achieving higher overclocks, it is tempting to push things a bit. But from what I have read, getting 2600+ MHz from an Opty 170 UPMW is a GOOD result, and I am doing it with 1.325 V in BIOS:D
So I have nothing to complain about. This processor is probably a good candidate for water cooling, and once I get my video cards, I may try that.
For now, I will wait for advice before going further. I will try a different HSF come payday to see if I can get back past 2700 MHz again, but if that fails, I am done.
Yea, do have a thread open here, at H and at AT.
Steppings to look for on the 170?
I have seen a lot of numbers thrown around
