Damn, now I regret I sold my 180. Doubt it could do 3.5Ghz anyway, but with phase and lots of voltage maybe 3.3 or so.
Are the B9's coldbugged btw?
yes it's the chip in my sig. mine's heavily coldbugged but it kinda takes care of that himself with the heat it puts out while running WCG (I always have WCG running in the background, meaning every cycle gets used).Quote:

I probably need 1.6v for a more stable, maybe even orthos stable 3500mhz.

update, 3275mhz 1.35v stable
and 3345mhz 1.41v stable...
That's.... sweet!
Single stage, right?:D
ok so I ended up with 3400 mhz 1.45v stable. after that, voltage scaling is bad; I'd probably need 1.6v for 3500 mhz because 1.52v doesn't cut it even for 3450 mhz. have been thinking about a vcore mod but my insulation around the socket is currently blocking the spot :shrug: and soldering would obviously void warranty.. any alternatives to get the mod done?
Good day to all! I'm stuck in dual-core AMD-ville at least until the end of the year, so I just got my first Opty (described in sig below). I have only used default voltage for now, at least until the AS5 sets in.
I quick-tested using Systool, and it reached an error at 3831MHz, so I backed off to 2.75GHz, and then ran Orthos for about 3 hours. It was time for a cooling cycle so I stopped, and shut it down at that time. Is 2.75GHz a decent speed for a 170 at 1.33v using liquid cooling?
I'll give it a week at these settings, w/cycling for the AS5, then another week of testing/gaming before trying any voltage. If there is anyone out there with some time and testing of this stepping, please let me know if I have a shot at 3.0GHz, or if maybe this is one of those steppings that doesn't respond to voltage, etc.
Thanks in advance and Good luck to all!
Oh, based on the temps that I'm getting, can you recommend a safe but likely productive max core voltage? Thanx!
lol cooling cycle what? AS5 setting in what? just up the voltage! Voltage isn't bad, CPUs love it! My guess is you'll need 1.4v for 3 ghz. Personally i'd stay below 1.6vcore. There is a point when voltage affects temperature too much which then prevents higher clocks, it's upto you to find that spot.Quote:

Wow, nice clocks biohead. 3400Mhz stable on an Opty is insane. :D
And good for 24/7 WCG :up: Even with ambient temps of over 30°C it ran over 12 hours of WCG. Seems stable to me :DQuote:

Well, while I believe that I have a nice stepping here, I think that I'll have to uncap it to really see what it can do. On my system with the current cooling solution, my 4400X2 running 2.7GHz at 1.55v idled at an average if 17-18C, with an Orthos-induced average maximum temp of 27-28C. My new Opty running at 2.75GHz at 1.33v idles at 18-19C, with an Orthos-induced max of 28-29C. Both temps are only slightly higher, but the Opty is running over 2/10's of a volt lower core voltage; it should be running cooler.
When I crank the voltage up, heat rises quickly. At 1.52v, the max temps have reached 34-35C! I should never be able to get it that hot. Having removed several IHS's already, I've learned the hard way that cool-running CPU's (like my 4400X2) benefit very little from having the IHS removed, but CPU's that seem to run hotter that others like it run much cooler uncapped.
Again, this is only based on my observations, and please let me know if I'm just stating what everyone already knows, but the cooler-running CPU's that I've uncapped (before I knew better) seemed to have a much better connection between the IHS and the core; the thermal paste looked perfect. On the other side of the coin are CPU's (like my old FX-55) with what appears to be air-pockets, or other flaws/inconsistencies in the paste connecting the IHS and the core.
Anyway, since they're only $100 now I guess that I'll pop-the-top, and see what happens. Happy GHz to all!
keep in mind that the expert board reports the CPU temperature about 10 degrees lower than actual, so 35 is actually 45 degrees. no worries though, personally anything below 55 degrees isn't really a problem. so i don't know where that exclamation mark is coming from ;) i think 45 max at that voltage is pretty good :)
That's good to know. I had noticed that at the current settings, and at complete idle, the CPU temp normally sits at 19C in Windows. However, in the BIOS, it is being reported as 25C. While that's not 10 degrees, its still way off. I guess that I noticed it but never questioned it. Would the CPU be idling 4 degrees warmer in Windows than it is while in the BIOS due to increased activity, thereby raising the idle from 25C to 29C? Hadn't thought of that possibility.
Still though, same system, etc, shouldn't the Opty at 1.33v be running cooler than the X2 at 1.55v when running at approximately the same speed? Maybe there is something about the Opty line that I don't yet know?
As always, thanks for the input! Oh, and I want a 3.4GHz Opty. Can I please have one? Can I? Can I? :) Damn, what's the 1M SuperPI at 3.4GHz?
unoptimized 26.453s

Optie 165 @ 2.9 GHz, needs 1.45v :-\
It seems it won't budge over 2.8 GHz, but still going with the Apevia Chameleon 550W PSU, it's a bit low on the 12V rails since I'm running a powerhungry X1800XT on it aswell. Going for a MIST 600W soon I hope, 4x12V rails with 20amps on each, total output 44.5 Amps! Not the rotten 34 max PEAK c*rap like now! :shrug:
update, unoptimized but tweaked memory

At the end of this week I have my new opty 170 :)
I hope it clocks well :D
i just got a opty 175 CCBBE 0617 EPMW
but im rebuilding my setup and i have to test a opty 165 LCB9E 0651 RPMW
first :/
That Opty 175 is a nice chip ;)Quote:

2916MHz brings the RAM to 243, which it can't handle. I think this chip can easily do 3-3.1GHz on air, I'll have to test - but it's 2.9 with the RAM at it's max speed for 24/7 :)
