The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

eWiz has 148 for 285

http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=OS148BNBOX

Still waiting on 146 though.

You can sleep after doing that?

How about maxxing out the CPU now :D

You've got some nice memory and an excellent 146 there....w00t!

Damn paypal charges and shipping is what makes it bad. I would prefer not to send processors. That way I can study for my Econ Midterm this Tuesday. :(

What OS? 2k3 or XPSP2? Load temps?

just curious...aren't these 146 suppose to be the socket 939 version? how come cpuz reported socket 940 on MickeyMouse's opti??

It says it for me, too.

CPU-Z's gotta catch up ;)

Just thinking....anybody got any ideas how to get TCCD to work to its full potential on these? I really wish I could use my 4800LA :stick:

Yes it's a Neo4 Plat/non-sli. I think it's "decent" I haven't seen anyone else on any other forum that is using the neo4 plat anyways so i guess its the best for this board :p I dont have any WC. Everyone else using opty's are using DFI boards and I dont want to shell out the cash for another mobo. I'm probably gonna stick with 939 for a while and wait out for the ati mobo's. I'm eyeing the Sapphire Grouper board after seeing such a good review @ Anandtech for the reference board they were using.

What do you mean by full potential? like running 1:1? I have some LE's and they are only stable @ 280 1:1 with the rated timings of 2.5-3-3-7. For some reason my 1T/2T option disappeared when I reset the CMOS after my system wouldn't post so right now i'm stuck with 2T until i get a64 tweaker on the system.

I mean I can't run over 268 3-4-4-10, LOL. I'd like to be able to run 308 2.5-3-3-0 like I can with my 4400+.

i see what you mean. then i guess it holds true to some extent that these opty's don't like tccd on bp808's that much.

Check post #70 for my TCCD test. Ran my OCZ rev.2 Plats at their regular timings and top speed.

Guess I've got a lot of tweaking to do....later though, it's pulled for the week.

i really hope TCCD -BU808 are OK i just got some G.Skill 4400LE and i want a opty

Strange thing with these CPU's lately, my 0531 Venice seems to hate my TCCD too.
CPU does ok as long as i use a divider and don't let RAM speed go higher than ~270MHz. :rolleyes:

The RAM can do 300 2,5-3-3-7 though.
Seems these opty's like Ballistix much better, according to Jason's results.

What??? I ordered a 144 and then later ordered a 146. I received them quicker then when I order from Monarch(300 miles away). He quoted the the price and showed pp charge and shipping. I am well pleased with what I got from him and hope when I buy another he will do business with me.

Go to the gas station, that's price gouging. Your wrong to say that about Vandi.

Thanks Vandi, your the best:thumbsup:

congrats to MM on that 305MHz run....these Opterons certainly look like they have solid memory controllers..... :toast: :toast: :toast:

What kind of weird bios settings are you referring to?
It's unstable in either memtest and windows, no matter what timings/settings.

Tried every trick in the book, single channel is a little more stable but still very bad, dual channel is a nightmare. :(

Wow, these things are awesome. Keep the 3d results coming....
I would like to see some aquamark and '03 scores.

Does exist any Motherboard Support List for these babies??

I wanna buy Abit AN8 Ultra 939 to mount one of these, does it support?

Didn't think I would get lucky again after I had such a good time with my 144. But early signs are encouraging especially the low volts. Testing my TCCD (for Vapor) at non tweaked timings.

The only bad news is my modded mounting bracket for my Mach II isn't giving me a good seal. If you know anyone who has one to sell, please PM me. Won't test on my Prommie until I know I have a good seal.

Still on water.

If I break the seal on my IHS, does the mounting of a heatsink (xp-90 specifically) need to be adjusted, or will it still work fine just mounting it normally?

ps, is it price gouging if people are willing to pay? I thought that was capitalism...

Had to throw a lot more volts at it but the 146 is doing what the 144 could not ... 3.1Ghz! :woot:
