Thats an average overclock, not to be rude, but basically its nothing special.
However at that speed that processor if plenty powerful.
My 165 hits 2.7 at 1.45 stable, after that the first core doesnt want to go any farther. The chips that hit 2.9 with 1.4-1.5 are not so easy to get.
with water though u might be able to squeeze 50-100mhz more from it as long as its a decent setup.
I found someone who will buy my chip, 0543 TPMW.
Has anyone purchased a chip from MWAVE recently or recieved a 0530 recently?
I'd really like to sell this chip and buy a 0530.
You should wait until you've found an 0530 before selling your other one. chances are you wont find one, and you dont want to be without a chip...so GL!Quote:

Been playing with this for a few days now, all on stock right now as I'm waiting for my BGAsinks to get here, can't wait to get this under water though...mosfets were getting a little bit too hot so that's about the max for now
id like to know anyone have a opteron 165 stepping 0547?? if so how far is it overclockin and with what volts?? mines up to 2.6 stable but i have a forton 530 psu with only 18 amps on the 12 volt i suspect its limiting my overclock new psu will be here by friday...:banana:
My 165 0546 is doing 2700 at 1.5vcore.Quote:

freddy 418 whats your max overclock and how many volts did it require... and no one responds to my question will a forton 530 psu with 18 amps on the 12 volt line have trouble overclockin a dual core 165?? thanx for reply
Depends on your GFX card ;)Quote:

Guys
Can you help a newbie out?
Im thinking of getting a 170 and an Asus A8N SLI Premium, what is the highest OC I can pull on it at stock voltage? Im also not sure about timmings on AMD systems, since Ive always used Intel. Looking for some help with the switch to AMDs opty
Thanks
Depends on the stepping :)Quote:

This is all I can do on a Chilly1 SS unit although I haven't tried for higher since I did a remount. I could probably get higher if I removed the IHS, but I run a high risk of crushing the core when I mount the block.Quote:

10x285HTT = 2850mhz
with 2GB OCZ PC4000EB @259mhz 3-3-2-8 8-18-2223 at 2.64v

vs
with 1GB Corsair XMS3500C2v1.1 @237mhz 2-2-2-5 7-14-2222 at 3.2v (just left it at that value for now)
http://www.fileshosts.com/DFI/NF4_SL...rpi-32m_tn.jpg
- As you can see the 2GB OCZ PC4000EB keeps up nicely with looser timings somewhat and old winbond BH-5 still rocks :)
- You can see the effects on idle temps of direct 1HP Portable air con air in the latter result :cool:
Eva - what is your highest stable clock now? Hvae you been burning it in?
there are no guarantees with any stepping, but some do better than others. There are some 165's that outperform 170's, and some 170's that outperform 175's, etc... it all depends on the stepping, your config, and a certain amount of luck!Quote:

With 165's and 170's, you are almost guaranteed to hit 2.3ghz stable on both cores, and most will even do 2.5 or better. That will all depend on your other equipment and your skill at OCing.
Just remember, there are no guarantees and there is risk involved, so you really really need to do your research before you jump into overclocking AMD's.

Those are stable (as in Prime stable)? I thought I had seen you post before that these were only benchmark stable. If so - nice job! I'll try to match it with mine:p:
165 0546mpmw purchased from monarch 12/23/05.
Prime stable at:
2540mhz @ stock voltage
2700mhz @ 1.488 volts
DFI nforce4 ultra-D
Friend of mine purchased an OEM 170 from Monarch last Wednesday evening at my suggestion. He's not really an overclocker.
He came by to have me help him assemble. I forgot all about checking the proc but when I opened that plastic holder and saw "CCBWE 0530TPMW" :eek:
No testing yet. He said he'd swap it with my 0546 if I wanted to since he probably won't OC much if any. Of course I'm going to push it first.
:toast:
2900+ and is bench stable - below is prime stable :)Quote:

i need some help with my cooling issue.
=============SETUP=================
Opteron 165
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLi
Kingston Value Ram
6600GT 128
===================================
i just installed my Opteron 165, aswell as my Coolermaster Hyper 48 onto my GA-K8NXP-SLi.
i would have went with the zalman 7700, but the DPS powerunit daughter card on the K8NXP-SLi limits the surrounding space, so i had to get this huge clunker of a HSF. (the thing is like 1 kilo almost) :slobber:
anyways..... i rewired the 4 wire PCM plug to feed the 4th wire with 12v feed from the 2nd wire, in order for the fan to spin at 3500 RPM. without this modification, it spins at 1800 rpm (lowest setting)
i have achieved a highest stable overclock of:
289mhz x 9 HTT = 2601.4 mhz
216 mhz RAM using divider (forget which divider value)
1.425 vcore
load temp with stable Prime95 x 2 running at 64'C
now with the following setup, my temps were 10'C lower.
282mhz x 9 HTT = 2543.0
211.9 mhz RAM using divider
1.375 vcore (just 0.025 over factory vcore :) )
load temp with stable Prime95 x 2 running at 54'C
what i dont understand is that my idle temps are pretty low (36/37'C) but then my load temps shoot up to really high temps. I applied AS5 and i'm thinking of reapplying it.
when i set the vcore to 1.5 to try 300mhz HTT, it shot up to 70'C.
and what bothers me even more is that at 1.375 volts, CPU-Z tells me its 1.425 or sometimes 1.45 on load. and the temps seem to me like they're a little too high. I'm using Sisoft Sandra and EasyTune5 (came with mobo) to test temps... MBM5 wont work worth a damn for me and sometimes gives me weird ratings of -78 and stuff.
any suggestions? ideas? im thinking of reapplying the AS5, this time with an ultra thin layer, using a razor... although my last layer was pretty darn good, i'd say.

Anyone else got 0547TPMW? I need to make a decision real quick and trying to gather as much information as possible. Please share your results. Or anything.
Thanks in advance!
I replied to your post in the DFI forums with links to a few sets of results for that chip..Quote:

0547 TPMW.
2x2500MHz prime95 stable on 1.425V. Close to 2600MHz if you push the voltage alot. 2x2500 does run very cool (40C on air), but I need more single-thread performance than what it could offer. I cant trade up my 3Ghz 146 for a 2500MHz CPU. Until the games start using multi-core more, i cant switch. So its off to Ebay with this one...
-Plack
My Opteron Is still ubderway. I sould get it the 11e from this month.
I hope i can hit 2.8 thats my target right now. 2.8 @ 1.65v max @ Zalman 9500.
My last 4400+ only did 2650 max and a 165 did 2550 max @ 1.6v :\ SO i haven't got any luck so far. Still @ my venice that is running 2850 MHz.
I don't know what stepping i will get. Maybe it will be close to 055x ? Because i'm seing 0547 already. And my cpu will not arive @ the dealer for 2 weeks to come. I realy hope it will be a good one this time.
You would be getting much better results using a better mobo and cooling, also PSU make a big difference :)Quote:

I threw 170 in and quick testing...same vcore of 1.46v(20min after install)..locked winxp dual prime 95 at 2 hrs
I did try 1.375*110% first for 15min or so and I think this will hit 2.7..seems smoother
this am ...I decide to see if it would boot 2800..1.375*113%=1.55 or 1.53vcore...post and loads xp smoothly...I have found if this goes slowly or with hesitation ..it will sure crash Prime95...I doubt I will hit dual prime95 at this vcore but it was worth a quick see
I have to ask again, sorry for repeating myself. I have a 500W LEWICOM PSU which should be good.
I can now run my CPU (AMD 165) at 315x9, I can prime for ages one core at a time, but when I dual prime it restarts within seconds. I see on smartguardian that my 12V is 11.71V but when I prime 1 core it sinks to 11.58V, but when both cores are priming it sinks to 11.41V and restarts after some seconds. BTW the 3.3V is 3.15V while primng, is that bad too?
The CPU can handle dual prime at stock settings, then the 12V stays at 11.71V, but not when I am OC'ing the CPU.
So I am guessing the PSU is bad. Which PSU do you guys recommend for my system:
AMD 165 using 1.55V * 104%
DFI LP NF4-ULTRA
2x1GB OCZ PC3200 2-3-2-5
GW 7800gtx
Soundblaster 2 Audigy ZS
PC P&C, Fortran, or OCZ......
My TAGEN (see sig) seems to have excellent rails, also pot adjustable if you open it up though I have found no need to do so :)

After looking through the settings, I promptly chose the "Load Optmized Defaults" option to reset everything back to normal. If I rebooted with those blank settings I would have fried my CPU and possibily my memory.
DFI makes dangerous boards. I have killed 2x redline DC kid. With my ultra D. And the Expert was killing cpu's. And now bios settings are to high with chance of blowing up your hardware. This is a verry bad thing :'(Quote:

How did you get mbm5 to work with nf4? I see people using a colorful temp reporting program and want to use it, since SG doesn't report neg temps.Quote:

mine does the same thing, just take the higher voltage since that is closer to what the mobo reads.
My Opteron 165 0534SPMW hits a wall @ 2.7Ghz. It's all good up to 2.7Ghz, prime95/SuperPi stable and temps are 32/40C 1.45V with TT Big Typhoon.
No matter how much vcore I push it with, it wont even boot over 2730Mhz. Anyone with the same problem, maybe it could be solved taking off the IHS, or maybe not since my temps are so good.
I have no idea if it has to do anything with my Crucial BallistiX, which I have noticed doesn't like many other dividers than 1:1, they are stable 300Mhz@3-3-3-8 1T. When using 9:10 divider still the FSB wont work over 300, and I have DFI NF4 Ultra-D.

Now to go for 2900 mhz
48 hours? isnt that a tad overkill:p:
Thats a nice processor you got there, i assume the voltage is actually around 1.45? or are the readings on that board accurate?
SP20004 is not the real Prime95!
Try it with Prime95 Version 24.14 and it will be not os easy to get it stable 48hours by the same settings!!!
Actualy it works just as well. :fact: But just for you, here goes another 48 hours with "Version 24.14" :)Quote:
