I took off the IHS and the temps are higher now. So I have to go read up on how to apply the artic silver on a bare cpu. If I were you I'd wait because your problemmight not be the IHS. It could just be an extremely hot cpu. Who knows. Oh and if you're going to takeoff the IHS use a razor blade froma mach3 or a quattro or some kind of shaving razor. I tried both and the shaving razor made it very easy. The other razors were worthless. No wonder so many broken cpus.
I ordered on this past weekend (Sat) for a new build also, thanks for the info.Quote:

Where should I buy an opteron 148? egg, monarch, or zzf?
Just read the threads to find your most desired stepping then find where people are getting them from. I got 2 cabye 0543 fromthe egg and It will do 2950 so far. It is basically like paying 230 for fx 57 performance.
lemonlime I don't know if I can suggest removing the IHS. The temps dropped a lot, but I don't think our cpus will hit anything much higher than 2950. My PWMIC is at 64c right and more voltage doesn't seem to help. I'll probably just abuse the chip for a day or two with prime95 and then I'll see if I can get it higher.
I should add that I have only messed around with the 11 multi.
My cpu is stable @ 300x9 on stock volts with un-tweaked memory =]
Yeah so is mine. Actually its around 2750. I wonder how much difference different multis make.
Also do any of you know whether 65c in the pwmic is dangerous???
Just got my 148 from ZZF today, CABYE 0543 FPMW.
Air-cooled w/XP90C. 32M pi stable @ 3025MHz w/1.55V.
1M below:

Well I posted it because I've NEVER tried stock voltage overclocking with this chip, just 1.6v @ 2.9ghz. I'll be trying 2.75 soon.Quote:

woo hoo!
My 146 CAB2E 0540 FPMW :D
Undervolted (1.328 cpuz, 1.375 actual): :toast:

Yeah its cool to be there on stock volts, but I was thinking that with more volts I'd go a lot further. Right now its looking like I'll top out at 2950.
I have the same chip as jgwild so who knows. I'll have to mess around with it some more.
My CABYE 0543 as per my sig, low Vcore :D

Something is jacked with my set up because I am using the same voltage as above and my pwmic is around 50c. WTF.
Actually 53c to be exact. Maybe I need new mobo????
Have you lapped the chipset HSF and applied ceramique or AS5 ??Quote:

Its at 55c with 1.41 vcore.
yasoumalaka,
Your readings are safe. No need to worry about it unless it goes >70ºC.
Most people have a fan either on their cpu or chipset which means more air flow on PWMIC and lower temps.
Good point. I'm a little slow today.
Here's mine. CABYE 0543 I believe. (too lazy to pop off the hsf and check lol)
Not too great, but I havent' figured out the ASRock 939dual-sata2 board bios options yet (I want my dfi :(). I also can't figure out memory dividers, for some odd odd reason, it's auto-setting to the 166mhz option. Crucial Ballistix 2x256, FYI.

Like you I'm using watercooling, so I installed an old Zalman (which is very silent) pointing at the mofset area. Temps dropped from ~70 C to 35 C, so I wonder if this sensor is really accurate...Quote:

My CAB2E is doing at stock voltage 2800mhz ,now is 2915 at 1.5vcore and super pi 32mb stable,priming at this precise moment .
