Yea, my 144 is the better then my 146 & 148 for doing 3GHz at low volts. Lets see a tweaker of your 148, what ram?Quote:

here's something weird for you guys. my 146 is doing quite well, but something is perplexing me. i can get to 2.9ghz with 1.4v or 3ghz with 1.45v prime95 small fft stable. no matter what i do to the vdimm, timings, or memory divider, superPI 32m will fail at those speeds. i'm guessing the limiting thing on this chip is the memory controller portion that runs at cpu speed. anyone know of ways to get around this.. issue? :D

@ ozzimark bump the voltage and try raising or lowering the data drive strength in your BIOS.
@ the two guys grumbling at each other... MT is a part of an OC, if you want to post it go ahead. Be nice.
a step ahead of you. i know changing vcore definitly does wonders, as i got ~100mhz from a .05v increase. raising drive strength did nothing.. and it seems that lowering didn't do much either :(Quote:

i dunno what his deal was, but i'm pretty sure both of my ihs's are connected pretty well.. i get 40c load with 1.5v on both my 144 and 146. it would be fun to detatch it, but after what happened to my newark, i don't feel like killing another cpu. maybe detatch, reapply thermal paste and use silicone to put it back on. someone would have to advise me on how to get the IHS back on flat though.. i'm thinking goop it up and stick it in the socket and carefully put a heatsink on it to maintain good contact as it driesQuote:

i think i'm gonna blame max async latency and read preamble
Yeah. I'm just going for a stable shot. I can tweak it a bit to bring down the time, but the focus right now is just finding the top end of the CPU. Heck, I'd throw a bigger divider at it just to get the clocks up 1mhz. :D I'll save the SuperPi tweaking/tips and tricks for later. Wouldn't be running 2x1gig if I were just going for SuperPi times. Although any suggestions are always welcome. :DQuote:

wow. i'm so glad i pulled my IHS.
I am down from 64-66C's load to 55C's and I can run OCCT now longer than I could before. I just need to tweak some more. :)
yay!
This IHS thing has me really interested too.
Radiator inlet temp(return from CPU block) is 27.7C with a contact temp probe and the water block underside is 28.5C, yet my full load temps are 45C. For this test the CPU is 1.4V at a conservative 2600Mhz. From my experience with this particular water cooling setup with a Venice and Winchester, shoot even with a Prescott that number is 5C too high to me. I have reset the waterblock at least 5 times.
Maybe it's the Neo4 BIOS?
Thanks, an interesting result -- makes me want to remove mine too.Quote:

Ok, I think I am giving up on my OCZ PC4000 Gold. I guess I will drop it back into my p4 system where it seemed to do great. What memory has had the most success on these opterons? I am thinking maybe crucial ballistix? I want a couple gigs.
Don't feel bad, I'm dumping my 3700EB in favor of some Geil One's.
My opty under testing:

I've been afk (out of the country) for about 10 days but the system was running folding with that config. This will be the base for further testing ;) .
Since I had some trouble to set the mems @290 in the few hours I've played with it I've used the divider... hope to put it back 1:1 after tweaking.
At the moment, I've just reduced vcore to 1.39v and I'll leave until tomorrow. Then more results will come...hopefully. :rolleyes:

@dogsx2
Hopefully that new Ultra-D you picked up from the Egg is a good one. 334HTT right out of the box doesn't seem to be a problem for the DFIs. I took that for granted until I started playing with the EVGA and Asrock mobos recently. Seems like the DFI is the only good option for 9x multis. If you find time, please drop the multi to 8 and show us your highest HTT. :D
BTW - On the 32M runs please open the box up a little more before running it so we can see the final time.
I love my GeiL One's, runs @ 300mhz with no problem with only 2.8vdimm.
Sorry, I didn't notice. I put on an 8x and upped the Vcore alittle. I took it to 380HTT and quit, I'm sure it will do more. I ran pi 1m, didn't feel like running 32m right now. This board is better then my rma'ed mb. I'll test it out and see how high I can go with the 144@8x running pi 32m.Quote:

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Just a quick question. How many with CABNE has removed their IHS?
And do the CABYEs with the IHS off clock as good as the CABNE with IHS?
Could it be that the biggest change between the CABYE and the CABNE is the contact between the IHS and the CPU?
Now how is that for an entry to the board? KISS
Keep It Stupid... Stupid.
I finally got my 146... 0530 CABNE... it is only doing 2700right now, crap MSI neo2 won't let me crank up my ballistix to 1t and about 260 @ 3338 timings. Will do further testing and post results when I get a chance...
I've been wondering the same thing about the IHS making the difference on some of these steppings. Maybe the tim was a different sucky batch or the machine that applies it or the ihs was not running well for whatever reason. I can't remember if anyone did a naked cabge but maybe it would help.
Also I think it would be great if everyone who has a chip would put in the week stepping and where they got it into their sig. A guy posts "look at my cabxe from XXXXX" and then 20 posts later who knows what chip it is? Even worse they don't tell where it came from. I've been here for the whole thread but I can't remember everything and I'm not going to scroll back through 50 pages with 1200/1600 jpg's all over the place. (which is another issue, Hint: shrink the pics and lower the quality.)
Cooling would be nice too as everyone has to keep asking over and over "what step", "what cooling", "where'd you get it", etc. At least put the step up in screenies.
well said gbomb, on all counts
Whatever happened to the concept of thumbnail? I have turned off pictures in user control panel, I just click the link when I want to see them. I'm not looking at a zillion piccys when the data can be summed up in about five works words...... 32Meg stable, 3.0Ghz blah blah blah...
Edit: Not OT, moderation work LOL :)
I agreed, I posted on this when I had venices and sd's. In the oc'ing threads you wolud see one guys pics for the whole page. I have dsl and the screen would still be moving and shaking loading when I though it should be done.Quote:

OK, so I've had my vandi special 146 cabne for about 10 days now, and I've been rather dissapointed because it wouldn't get to 3000 stable like almost all others. After seeing some of the others results with removing the IHS, I thought I'd give it a try. Right after I popped the top, I ran super pi 32m at 1.55v @ 3006mhz....Hell Yes!! :banana: :banana: My temps dropped considerably, and this is in a room @ 72degrees f, and with the zalman 7700.
But right after the first run of 32m, I rebooted to try to clock higher, and my neo 2 died on me... ouchee :slobber: :slobber:
Now I'm at default vcore 2800mhz on the abit av8 (board won't go much higher), and will be waiting on the new board from rma before I can test again.
Ah, so is the life of the overclocker....victories, and defeats one after another!!!
ok so wow. us neo2 owners are really having a hard time eh? but this makes me raise na eyebrow. popping the top eh? you + me + Eljefe62 all have a vandi special cabne 146 wk 30. all have the neo2. all have been pumping volts and getting high frikken temps. like i can get to 32m stability with less volts than prime stability (which im testing right now, pics later) butt oif you saw my screenshots a few pages back (which was only day and half ago) i got it to 2.9 but not without a fight and not without dropping my ram speed damn cllose to stock.Quote:

so mainly, i love my ihs, i love how they look ive always said i leave the poppin of the top to the phaser's etc and i really feel like i would be defacinng a peicce of art. but if it REALLLY nets such big temp drops for us neo2 146 cabne wk30 vandi special owners, (say that 5 times fast) then i will prolly have to do it.
let me know mane, and all other neo2 owners. ps: im curently on 1.b tccd mod bios, will ggo back to 1.c when its final. what you guys on?
I have a neo2 and a dfi and an asrock sata2. The neo must just read the temps hot. On the other mb's the temps a lot cooler. I can't believe that somehow the msi makes the cpu run hotter. Here's a post from a few days ago of mine before your post.

@ 1.45v mine is running 45º idle, according to BIOS (who knows if this is right!); I have an xp90 with decent (ie, not a tornado...) fan. I am using the 1.b ballistix bios on my neo2. Have not had a chance to really play with overclock yet...
This is one of the three 148 CABNE 0528 GPMW that I have, room temperature is 75'F, using the TT Big Typhoon heatsink with Silverstone FM121 110cfm fan rated at 39dB in a closed case PC, the only thing I can hear is my PSU fan. After 16hr of Prime the cpu temperature is still ROCK SOLID at 39'C :D :D 3.0Ghz @1.47v (300 x10) and 2GB of Ballistix running at 300 @3-3-3-8 1T using 704-2BTA bios, this chip passed 3Dmarks, OCCT, SPI32M, and now Prime.

Is this more fun then a x2, I sure think it is. :D We used to dream about clocks like this. Maybe you could do a comparison between x2 and opty like you did with sd and venice. :)
Nice clocks Ben 805 with Air.Congrats. My temps are higher with an SI120 and an Papst4412 F/2GL 63cfm
Way to go. :woot:
What did you do to get over the hump?
I'm just playing around with some of the timings and Tref. Take little 1M runs to see if I picking up any time. When I manage to knock off a few tenths of a seconds off the 1M time I figure it'll add up on the 32M. I'm no Pi guru but its fun making that number go down. I want to try the BH-5 again. I should be able to get a respectable time that won't have XS members lining up to :slapass: me.
Yea, el rolio, I think you should lose the IHS. I didn't want to do it either, but It made a huge difference on the one and only run I've made without it. Allowed me to the the 3giga that is so sought after.
When I get my new board back in, I'll be able to see how much it really helped.
My question isn't very topic related, but did you turn the heater on the backplate and in the promhead off to reach lower temps with your opteron? Just wondering...Quote:

yea man, i remember that post now (thread soooo long gah! forgetting things) now that i have mine i can see that it really is crazy what the msi reports. so i guess i wont worry much about the temps its telling me im getting. i mean the air coming from the rad fans is kinda warm under fully load but really not that bad.Quote:

the next thing is this top popping. you really making me think about it. but then again a guy over at my [H] worklog suggested adding some capacitors to the board to stabilize the vcore some more. imm happy for systool, it actually shows when the frikken vcore drops... so if any of your neo2 owners know whats up with that lemme know.
ozzimark and i were thinking the mem controller was flaky which is why i had to be running the 150 divider but like dog said, its hte neo2 and the problem it provides to get superpi stable cuz of lack of ram. at least the new bioses SE makes help the situation out.
if im then gonna be keepin my ram below 215 i really think im gonna put hte bh-5 back in.
another one of my main issues is selecting voltage for hte core. its like trial an error to get a decent voltage and it almost seems that certain combinations are more stable than others.. right now im 1.45 + 8.3% im pretty sure which is currently proving to be stable. even tho i could complete superpi with less; once i got my memory voltage sorted that is.
Ok. I am about to pull the trigger on 2 gigs of g1's. Speak now or forever hold your peace.
Here's my 2nd 148 CABNE 0528, yet another awesome 3Ghz chip. Performance and underload temperature is identical to the 1st one I'd tested :D :D the only difference is this one has slightly lower MaxTcase than the other one.

Just getting a chance to play with this. 148 CABYE 0528 GPMW received from ewiz on wednesday. 2.8@stock volts is stable. Here is a 32m pi shot. Also ran prime large fft for about an hour with no errors. 33-34 idle, 42-43 load. Upped volts to 1.325x113% Can do a 1m pass, but fail 32m. Still have my timings pretty tight, might try to loosen them up a little.Temps now, 36-37 idle, 45-46 load. Would like to up the volts more but temps are climbing fast. My venice never goes over 43 with almost 1.6v. Cooling with big typhoon. Don't know if I will make 3.0, but still seems like a damn nice chip.
sounds just like mine.Quote:

thanks man....I loves these CABNE, I thought about getting WC for the Opty but the Big Typhoon + FM121 fan perform so well even in a closed case that I'm just going to stick with air :D :DQuote:

But I know one thing for certain....my X2 will not do 3.0Ghz on air :D :D I don't think I should do a detail comparo between the two as I don't think it's fair :D :DQuote:

I just ordered it from monarch, 599+ ship, they are more expensive than 4400's, but I'm banking on better silicon overall, I'm sure it will do at least 2.8 24/7 anyway. I don't think they actually had it in stock though since I ordered on the 19th and they say it won't ship until monday, which is kinda ok, because my biostar (tide me over board) will be here on monday and I can just throw my 4400 in it for right now. That'll at least give me a good idea of how well these biostar boards are since everything else will be the same. :)
On a side note, I'm going to try this low volt burn in method on the operton ( I have to express that I totally do not believe in cpu burn in, but hey...whatever, I still gotta try it to see if it'll yield me higher clocks.) Mainly because this will be the last chip upgrade I get until the next socket comes out. I suspect the overall clocks will be the same once I hit a voltage wall, it may clock higher at a lower voltage, (which is not the max clock of the chip) but then, that's useless to me... oh well, time will tell.
Thought I had 2.9 stable but prime just failed after about 1 1/2 hours, so I just went for 3.0 for 1m pi. Temps seem to be staying about the same, even with voltage at 1.4x113% Here's the shot. No more time for today. Tomorrow I'll play with my memory settings more, I think that is what's holding me back.

3.1ghz 1m superpi stable.
IHS on, more left in it. This is on an xp-120 with a low speed panaflo L1A

ignore the crappy time, my memory was running @ 200mhz to isolate cpu.
More tweaking.
Got superpi 32M stable now at 3000 mhz :)
had to use the 166 divider. i think i might have a weak mem controller (again).
link to 32M ss
what ram is that as the rime is tad slowQuote:

Here are some more results. It seems that this cpu responds well to volts. Does anyone have thoughts or ideas on some other timings I could try... Thanks
