Certain places in the UK are getting new stock regularly, all they have to do is be creative with what they tell their supplier. The reason opteron stock has dried up is because AMD doesnt want people buying them over normal a64 chips, which is bound to happen as they cost the same as the low end chips but have double the cash. You wont be seeing many more retail packs, as server builders use OEM.
I wonder what you get when you RMA a Opteron...
Somebody knows? Don't want to get a Venice 3000+ for my Opteron 144
i highly doubt amd would do such a thing.Quote:

If anyone has an opteron 1xx for sale, PM me
Anyone get a 148 from ZZF lately?
order through monarch last november 26 and it got here December 3rd..
here is my stepping: CABYE 0542FPMW Opteron 148

System spec:
DFI Ultra-D Bios 623-3
PQI Turbo 2x256mb Samsung TCCD
6600 256MB for now (waiting on RMA on 6600gt)
Antec Neo 480
it's prime stable at 2900mhz at 1.48vcore. I have not tried lower than that since I believe 1.48vcore is pretty safe for this processor. I'll do more testing once I get my gskill tccd 2x512mb and better thermal paste along with my videocard.
On Friday I got a cabye 0543 fpmw.Quote:

Seemed reasonably priced. I wanted to play with it on my A8N-E that I am building/testing for a friend.
What is the max Vcore you can safely apply to these opterons? Mine will be here on WED. I'll start low, but I never get good chips so I always end up on the high end of the Vcore range.
Im on water.. but i messed up on the instllation.... I went from radiator to the outlet barb on my tdx.. so it's not cooling directly over the cpu. My waterblock basically isnt acclerating water through the jet nozzle.. the water is just going in on 1 side throught he channels and back out to the inlet of the TDX plus I have crappy china thermal paste.. I should have better results once my AS ceramique arrives.Quote:

Same as mine, best chip I have ever owned with 2.8Gig default Vcore :banana: ;)Quote:

My opteron runs very hot ~62°C@ 1.6V 3ghz. I also got a LC power 550W but my opteron is stable at 3ghz but temps went to high and clocked it back to 2.9ghz. I need to test some more but i am not home at the moment.
Also going to cut of IHS when i got a job :p
I posted it on friday...it is 59°C and 50W...as I remember...Strange behavior, it never hangs up and it is 24 hours stable in windows and S&M has passed @90% load...but OCCT and Prime is not stable...:confused:Quote:

Have som problems with my new rig:
opteron 146 CABYE 0540FPAW
2x512 BH-5
DFI lanparty nf4 ultra-D
MACH II cooling.
Doing a 100% stable 3ghz at original Vcore but i cant even boot 3.2 ghz @ 1.6 vcore max stable is 3.3 ghz @ 1.72 vcore.
Isn´t this cpu most likely to overclock more? load temps at 1.72V is +3 C and
at original vcore -30C.
Doesn´t ever shows any errors in super pim raising 10 mhz makes the computer freeze instead of showing errors, so it is allways very stable or unbootable!
Very strange! I hoped to reach stable 3.5 ghz in about 1.63 vcore, but this seems to be impossible :(
any suggestions?
chipset voltage??
LDT voltage?
Well it could very possible be the PSU.Quote:

Well I have a 146 and 148, the 146 shows a higher MaxTCase (63deg c ) but the 148 (59 deg c) goes further so I dont think MaxTCase means anything.
The 146 also runs about 8 degrees hotter - using a Big Typhoon and looking for more than just Super PI1 M stability which BTW I can run 1M @ 3000 at 1.50v so thats pretty much useless for anything but a 1M run anyways. To get some real stability close to 3 Ghz I'm pumping her 1.64v. Like I said this chip runs really cool though.

Yeah, my 146 is rated for 65C, but I'm having a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: of a time getting 3G stable. Call me a TCaseMax doubter.
Hi guys!!
Screenshots of my 146 CABYE 0540 APMW oc's (aircooling big typhoon on a MSI K8N neo2):

MaxTcase tell me 57°C
Like Monge said you probably need to play with ram timings, maybe Max Async Latency and Read Preamble could help there.Quote:
