hey smiffy
i've got a 180 with the same stepping as yours (LCB9E 0704XPMW, #0009)
gonna try it under phase change soon, hope it isn't heavily cold bugged

AMD internal CPU sensors are ±10 or 12°C so I wouldn't worry about the given temps too much. It's probably the reason AMD doesn't officially support the internal sensor.
The error seems to be a simple calibration offset, not erratic readings, so it's OK to use for temp differences, just not absolute temps ...
Well, the paste arrived.
So off it came - much easier the second time round.
The big scare though was when I removed the waterblock, it's on pillars, and the AC5 was enough "adhesion" to rip the CPU out of the socket. A couple of the pins were glinting in the light.
But no harm done, it's up and running. Had to reseat the waterblock, but now it appears to be ok.
Temps are down 8 degrees on one core and 10 on the other - at idle.
Under load, temps are down about 25 degrees.
Quite happy about that!
Opteron 180 LCB9E 0704XPMW
259x12=3108mhz w/ 1.4v ORTHOS priority 10 stable (4hrs+)
aircooled with TTBT: 31 idle 45 load (asus probe)
testing continues... i really like this chip, feels really smooth :toast:
Nice chip you got there biohead :clap: .
My current cpu:
Opteron 175
LCB9E 0652 WPMW
HS lapped
Cooling:
CoolerMaster Gemini II + 2 x 120x38mm fans
Orthos Stable:
2955MHz
1h test, 1.475V
2h test, 1.5v
3GHz isn't stable at all. I have tryed 1.475V - 1.525V
I think Gemini needs some lapping...
My optie:
Opteron 165 - LCB9E TPMW (had XPMW too) - 2.6 GHz to ~2.76 GHz @ 1.35v, 2.8 GHz @ 1.375v
Cooling: ThermalRight XP-90 w/ Panaflo 92mm @ ~3100 RPM, 56 cFm
Temps - MBM & EVEREST (Dual-prime small FFTs):
Idle: ~31 C
Load: ~54 C
Opteron 180 LCB9E 0704XPMW
3300mhz (275x12)
Orthos still running, 2hrs past now...
It's very coldbugged. Will make some copper pads to put between evap and IHS, hope that'll get the temps up.
oh, and need more volts :devil: :fact:
:toast:
What are your opinions on Opteron 165 and the 170 on OC ability? I'm looking to replace my X2 using an A8N32-SLI with a 2GB G.Skill DDR 500 set. I'm guessing the board and ram should have no problem hitting between 300 and 320 HTT if I'm using a 165. I'm on a bit of a tight budget so I'd rather save and get a 165. If I'm hoping to try and hit 2.8ghz and 2.7 minimum then which one lately would give me the better odds? I'll probably get either one from Newegg so I won't be able to choose what I get.
LCB9E is nice stepping, regardless the week you got.
^Post results, I've never seen an LCBQE.
Just popped in a naked 165 CCBBE 0615 under my Ultra-120 - 2898 with 1.375 is very stable :) I am running with 2906 right now under the same voltage.. I'll play some games now and prime it later.
3GHz with 1.475 should be doable. I finally found a chip that is almost as good or as good as my CCB1E 0608 that I stupidly sold (3GHz@1.425, 2925@stock). That one had those results under water with liquid metal thermal paste though - this is under air in a closed case with a hot 8800GTX sitting a centimeter away :D Both naked chips
3208MHz SuperPi 1M stable. +10c air cooled with Gemini II
180 LCB9E 0704XPMW, phase change
Got it to run 3dmark06 at 3.45ghz, I went to get something to eat and when I came back, it showed the results but the system was frozen. So it could be anything really, the CPU obviously hung in there while running 3D.
Ordered an HR-05 and HR-09S to be sure it's not the NorthBridge or PWM. Does the NB need a voltage increase at higher cpu frequencies? I've always ran it at 1.30v..
It's not so much the NB needs more voltage for a higher CPU speed but it usually needs more volts for a higher clock speed. In your case you're only running, what - 287? - that shouldn't be enough to require more voltage. The A8N32-SLI starts needing more NB volts ~300 or so ...
Seems that my Opteron 165 broke, maybe it was pure luck since I got a CCBBE 0615MPMW that only made 2,6 GHz regardless of volts :(
So what can I expect from the RMA? It can't possibly be a worse one, can it?
Since my motherboard doesn't like HTT-speeds over 297 MHz, should I go for a 170 instead?
Nope you cant get any worse CPU than that one u had. :)
Got this one a week ago:

Will test more when my exams are over:D
Phase/dice on that one...:shocked:
