0615DPMW rocks! :)

Just got my Opteron 165 CCBBE 0615DPMW for 142 euro's

Running Dual Prime Torture test for three hours now at 2933MHz @ 1.344v :D

Forgot to add that when the box came from newegg it was a CCbbe 0610DPMW. :woot: :banana: :D Apparently newegg has a case of lcb9e's and a case of ccbbe's and they are parseling them out or something.

Orthos ran 15 minutes with no errors at 2.8 ghz 1.33 v, 43-45c under load with only the amd thermal pad from the sink. The spreader is very concave so I'm surprised it is so cool with the pad. I stuck the cpu up to an old sink and twisted it a bit. It only left scratches from the corners of the spreader. After some as5 it should be really cool. Totally thrilled so far. Half life two lost coast bench went from 103fps to 148 just by going dual core +200mhz clock.

At one point my temps were running 53 c then I noticed the cpu fan wasn't running. Header 4 on my dfi may have died or hopefully a short in the cable maybe. Twin 80's on my ram kept the cpu cool enough that it could still run I guess. Idling at 30c now.

I found the lowest vcore limit for 2700 mhz: 1.375v

temps are 31/42. I ran spi 32M, some games and video encoding too ... I think it's not bad.

For only 200 mroe dollars youc an get a nice single stage phase change.

Lol, I'm not that crazy. My wife would have my gonads in a vise if I pulled something like that. I currently running Orthos on my 165 @334x9 1.475vcore and I'm about two hours in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

what are your temps at now @ 1.475 vcore?

Hovering right around 40C, fluctuating a degree or two in either direction.

thats pretty good, and this is using core temp tool?

Maybe its time guys to inform somehow the first post of the thread about the new steppings of the market..? would be very usefull to people who want buy now ..

Yep, Core Temp. I had to boost it up 1.5vcore and am now testing that. Temps are ~41-42C. Given that these chips are rated for 110W stock and giving it 1.5v drastically increases heat, I think that those are pretty darn good temps.

Mine is running stable with 2.9 @ 1,45v, 0615 EMPW. Its getting so damn hot, what the hell - Core 0 has 60, Core 1 even 66 Degrees. And that with water and open case! I've already remounted the waterblock several times, no success.

I think I'm gonna need 1.55 for 3,0 - is that too high?

Remove IHS;)

I think its for high temp.

sorry for my english...

Remove IHS

:D

hi, just a question when ocing the opty,

1st step I tested HTT 250MHZ, ORTHOS 10 hrs not error, MemTest 11PASS and SuperPI 32M passed as well.

Code:

Genie BIOS Settings: FSB Bus Frequency............................. - 250 LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - x 3 CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - x 10.0 PCI eXpress Frequency......................... - 100Mhz CPU VID StartUp Value......................... - AUTO CPU VID Control............................... - AUTO CPU VID Special Control....................... - AUTO LDT Voltage Control........................... - 1.30v Chip Set Voltage Control...................... - 1.60v DRAM Voltage Control.......................... - 2.74v DRAM Configuration Settings: DRAM Frequency Set............................ - 200=RAM/FSB:01/01 Command Per Clock (CPC)....................... - Enable CAS Latency Control (Tcl)..................... - 3.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd)..................... - 03 Bus Clocks Min RAS# active time (Tras)................... - 07 Bus Clocks Row precharge time (Trp)...................... - 02 Bus Clocks Row Cycle time (Trc).......................... - 07 Bus Clocks Row refresh cyc time (Trfc)................... - 14 Bus Clocks Row to Row delay (Trrd)....................... - 02 Bus Clocks Write recovery time (Twr)..................... - 02 Bus Clocks Write to Read delay (Twtr).................... - 02 Bus Clocks Read to Write delay (Trwt).................... - 03 Bus Clocks Refresh Period (Tref)......................... - 4708 Cycles DRAM Bank Interleave.......................... - Enabled DQS Skew Control.............................. - Auto DQS Skew Value................................ - 0 DRAM Drive Strength........................... - Level 7 DRAM Data Drive Strength...................... - Level 2 Max Async Latency............................. - Auto DRAM Response Time............................ - Normal Read Preamble Time............................ - Auto IdleCycle Limit............................... - 256 Cycles Dynamic Counter............................... - Disable R/W Queue Bypass.............................. - 16 x Bypass Max.................................... - 07 x 32 Byte Granularity........................... - Disable(4 Bursts)

So can I assume that as long as my RAM speed will not over 250MHZ by using divider, NO other ram settings like Drive Strength, DRAM Voltage need to be changed no matter what HTT is?

Because I used those ram setting above when OCing up to HTT 305MHZ, then stuck in HTT 310MHZ, adding VCORE didnt help but instead need to change RAM setting even my RAM is running under its default.

ALso, in 310MHZ HTT, it passed ORTHOS Blend test priority 9 for 9 hrs, but seems could not pass the superPI 32M, is it mostly ram issue??

it's not stable but it can run a spi 1M

334x9 3006 @ 1.456v air cooling (XP-120) ...

it's for a cruncher, anyway.

9x302 on stock air, 1.42v. 1/2hr OCCT. Chaintech VNF-4ST

It might make a good cruncher after all:)

How can i remove IHS?
at BIOS?
by software?
Where is it?
sorry but i don't know what it is

the IHS is the heat spreader that is on top of the processor. if you remove it the cpu's core's are exposed, and the heatsink will make better contact resulting in better temps.

I'm with you. I've ran Orthos for over 14 hours at 323x9 with 1.425v on my DFI. I'm currently testing 334x9. I believe that my chip is definitely a "keeper" but damnit, I want that 3.0Ghz. The thing is, I paid about $2300 in March 2006 for my current system and I just wish it to stay viable until Crysis comes out. I sold my former Opty 175, only hit 2.7Ghz, on eBay for EXACTLY the same cost that I paid for this BRAND NEW Opty 165. Thank God, otherwise the wife would have had a fit.

Well, not really, her title starts with a DR. Not medical but pharmacy. Less hours, company-paid liability insurance, and still a ton of money. :)
