Yes, I have one of those (and I bent 2 pins on it somehow). It is equally poor as yours; I have spent all afternoon trying to get stability at 2.5GHz on stock HSF; I've tweaked the RAM until it's sick of me and given vcore 1.52v so far but it still isn't happy. I thought it needed more volts, but 1.78?? :eek:

Should have a 146 CACJE 0546 next week... hope it's better than this!

Where are the latest good steppings coming from? ZZF, Monarch, or Newegg? Retail or OEM?

Thanks

As for now CABNE 0540BPMW is the worst stepp I've ever seen... CABGE chips are better :eek:

I hope CACJE 0546 will give better results. ;)

I ordered two, I fired the one that I was building for someone and it did 3gighz no problem w/ 1.55vcore. The 2nd one I will prolly have to ebay since the 2nd guy i was going to build a system for decided to go dual-core.

CAB2E 0545CPAW opteron 148 from ZZF.

Not bad for the price!

I've had a few people ask the specs-

It was just on a asus a8n-e that I built for a coworker. I tested it for 5 minutes before giving it to him, seemed stable, but you never know. The point of my post is that the 0545 CPAW doesnt seem like a bad chip.

Hey all, going to be offering a trade in classifieds for an Opteron and/or X2 would like to know if anyone has a head's up on the stock at Newegg?

These are what I'm considering need your help. I really shy away from OEM, for obvious reasons, but if the chip's a dog at least I can exhange for another.

148 Venus 2.2/1MB Retail $249
150 Venus 2.4/1MB Retail $338

170 DC Denmark 2.0/2x1MB OEM $420

From what I've read, we can expect them to be rubbish. I've got one :(

Unsure whether to RMA it to Scan(since they sent me OEM, after me paying for retail) in the hopes that it'll clock better or not, can't test it yet as I don't have the mobo to.

What 'You've read' was obviously about CABNE 0540BPMW. Yes they were very poor 144s, but 0545 146s do around 2900.

No need to apologise so much. Easy mistake to make if you think that certain steppings perform the same regardless of week. Yeah, I've seen several CABNE 0545s do around 2900 stable. You have a pretty good chip, did you buy it from RL supplies by any chance?
12-10-2005, 07:51 PM

Nope, Scan. They aparently had to hunt the country to find them, and paid £50 over selling price, but decided to do it to fullfill christmass orders. No testing till my mobo and graphics card arrive though. I shouldn't say this, but they're getting another batch of retail ones in mid-january, if anyone in the UK is intrested(that comes from their customer support person I spoke to).

7 hours of prime so far at 2893. Got it over 3 ghz and completed superpi 32m but couldn't pass occt. Air cooling. I am a novice at overclocking though.
