You want to set your LDT/FSB Ratio to a number that will get you as close as you can get to 1000. Example...300 you want 3.0x ; 250 you would want 4.0x

Also try using the 10.0 Multiplier for the CPU...they seem to like it better. Try something like 300x10.0 at around v1.500 volts with a 166 Divider on your memory to start.

Does 2.7GHz on 1.45V! Not bad for a $230 CPU. :D

I got my 148 for $238.00 and does 3.0GHz at v1.475...for the extra $8 I am happy.

Hey guys, need some of ur magic tricks / hints :D
My 148 is stable at around 2950 at def volts. But after that it needs 0.25v every 30 mhz.... wtf ?
Board is DFI Expert, Temps never rise above 35°C on water (you should add about 10° on it cause of Expert Board :) ). Tried the 166 divider as posted above, no improvements.

$AUD vs $USD. :slap:
$230AUD vs $238USD ($314AUD).

Besides my 146 does that! :p:

$260AUD for that CPU. Which is $190USD? :cool:

Plus hardware is cheaper in USofA. :nono:

well, i tried everything within the bios to make the darn thing boot at anything past 200x11 at the 11 mult and it was a nogo, 10mult wasnt working either. so i flashed to 704-2bta and now its working, im gonna assume that was the problem, the bios was really finnicky

2nd day playing with it, yesterday i finally got the ram tu run without divisors, we are in summer here 30°C ambient im using xp-120 with 22dba coolermaster fan.

i might try cascade soon or dry ice.

i have more to optimize (havebt changed the thermal paste on the chipset and get really hot).

Opteron 148
CABYE 0543FPMW

Finally got a 24/7 100% 24 hour prime stable, cold-bug free configuration that I use for day to day gaming, folding general use (see first image).. 3.3 is a piece of cake, but I can't leave the system idle for terribly long without some load on it. Good for benching though (see second image). 3.4 is a brick wall, can't seem to hit it.

Popped the IHS, temps improved dramatically (10-12C load decrease)

Thx mate. :)

On 3210 i hit a wall right now.. with 3200MHz i can bench many times 3DMark01, with 3210MHz i get a lot of errors.. freezes etc., don't knwo why. I hope for new bios after christmas, to finally break the 40k '01 and 24.xxx 1M. :toast:

I managed to run some 3d01 tests at 3.2Ghz too, even temps were getting high (IHS still on).
This is what I managed so far, but I still need to play and search a little more with the dividers.

What is ur Ram running at? Should be sub 26.xxx with that cpu clocks, i think. :)

If I recall correctly, it was running with 140Mhz setting, so at 245Mhz.
But I was to lazy to set VDimm higher than 3.2V, but I'll give it a try after the weekend.

Here's the highest screenshot I could get with about 1.5v. 1.55v diddn't give any room so I diddn't feel like trying for more.

Anyone ?
Tested a little further, 2980 is stable with 1,42v, 3046 not even with 1,49v :(
So what should i do ?

What was the load temps with a -1c air? Great memory!!

Final clock for now then:

idle: 30c
load: 41c

A smashing success I'd say, I only paid $207 for that beast. The divider seems to take off about 2 seconds from superpi, but the hell if I care: I'm getting some kickass performance in games:banana:
