I will just be happy in about a week and a half or less when i Finally can try my Opty 146 on something other then this MSI Neo2 Plat. New set up includes better PSU, dual 7800GTX's a DFI sli DR (proven to oc past 4ghz) some Phase and dryice cooling with some new mem and H20 cooling parts.. Im easily hitting stable right at 3.1 ghz with ease on current with only H20 cooling im sure with the better board and mem alone i will be able to get some bigger fsb.. Come on stuff get here!!! I wanna play some more..

Can we get some Prime95 screenshots to show true stability. Hell mine can Super PI 32M at 3000 Ghz too but it fails prime instantly.

It would be interesting to see how much priming the top dogs do, after all isn't that why we're here at XS, to learn and try to emulate the top oc'ers. :)

I have started tweaking a 146 CABYE 0540APMW and it was able to bench at 3103MHz @1.65V so far (with Hot CPU Tester Pro) ;)
CPU-Z screen: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=53777

Anyway I have some problems with my DFI, and windows does not want to load 6 times to 10 (giveio.sys fails to load) no matter the o/c is. So, I have changed the CPU to a 144 CABNE 0540BPMW to test it a little using the Ultimate Boot CD only (prime and memtest are included). First, it seems to o/c quite a lot with stock volts, but unfortunately over about 2600MHz, it requires the Vcore to be quickly increased... As for now, it remembers me the 144 CABNE 0540APMW... let's see!

I can give you some screenshots. I don't use prime but the chip I got last night has been folding 9hrs without any errors at 3GHz :p:

BTW the memory controller seems good to. Running my 148 CABYE 0543 300x10 1:1.

finally got mine
CABYE 0540 FPBW batch 208
1M @ 3GHz 1.55V , with stock cooler, mem at 300 MHz 2,5-4-3-7
can thighten the ram a little bit to 2,5-3-3-7
but that was after this run
it can bench 1M at 3,033 mhz
Mobo is an MSI K8N SLI Platinum

to everyone who has this motherboard => try Bios 3.1 official its the best

Ive come to find that P95 isnt all its cracked up to be as a stabillity test. Ive had some A64/FX cpu's fail prime but run Games at full speed all day for 6 hrs strait. Do every bench in the world just fine never a hitch. Ive had them run mem test and do cpu burn in and OCCT and never a fail But fire up Prime 95 and whamo Fail!!!. I dont think its the OC or anything thats the issue. I say its prime95 that has the issue. So i dont trust it completly. If all the abouve isnt good enough for showing its stable then nothing is. Just my opinion.....

just got 148 CABYE 0542 FPMW, IIRC it did 2.9 with 1.55v 32m stable, right now its at 2850 1.55v 32m stable. Have another 148 coming soon, will probably keep whichever clocks better and ebay the other.

For those who want to know, i just received a OEM Opty 148 0542 FPMW from Newegg that only has a TMaxCase of 57c and TDP of 44.1W.

With IHS intact 2.9 at 1.5v is Prime stable but thats about it. Its going up on ebay soon. I found removing the IHS lowers the temps but helps very little in gaining anything in regaurds to mhz with these Opterons, and yes I've removed 3 IHS with no sufficient improvement besides temps.

for now its already primestable more then 1h @ 2.75GHz with stockcooler @ 1.45 Volts

Anyone got a link to the TMaxCase app? Spent 20 mins trying to find a link...

Bah. I can't get very good overclocks out of this CPU or ram. CPU's max on the stock cooler (phase change isnt finished yet) is around 290x9, and the ram is DDR520 2-3-3-6-1T @ 3.4v. Will try tweaking it a bit more though.
