Nice gundamit. Nice to see your 146 doing better than your 144. But is an additional 100mhz worth an additional $60? Being the anal best-bang-for-buck guy that I am, I broke down what we have so far:
144 3.0ghz o/c / 146 3.1ghz o/c (so far) = 3.3% increase
144 $160 retail / 146 $220 retail = 37.5% price premium
You be the judge. But it's going to take alot more for me to feel bad about choosing the 144. :D
xenolith -> oc = 0.000 %
It's depending of the die (stepping) :toast:
But 146 = 10x max
The last thing anyone should be feeling is "bad" about buying either. Rather thay should be thanking their lucky stars and Vandi for giving us this opportunity to play with the best bang for buck CPU this year. And we did it before what Charlie described as the "unwashed masses" get wind of whats going on. Hopefully Vandi keeps us in mind the next time something like this comes along even though I'm sure it was a big headache and time consuming putting these orders together.Quote:

The volts keep streaking up while the clock comes up just a little. Nearly topped out now.

I think I'll get back to my old BH-5 to see if I can get <24:20 in 32M.
Nice clocks, what kind of temp do you get under load at the 1.552v?
That's why I was going to get the 146. Having the extra (10x) multi was very attractive. But by what I've seen so far, high HTT doesn't appear to be any problem with the right setup. :toast:Quote:

Nice clocks BTW gundamit.
The ss on link #352 with the 144 at 3078.9 @1.472v with 2gb ram compares great with the 146 at 3140.8@1.552v with 1gb ram.Quote:

I'm still under 50c but that might get better when the block settles.Quote:

@gundamit,
I don't want to be negative... But either you must have had CPU-Z and ITE SG both open during that run above or I don't know what else. But 24:32 is really bad for 3140Mhz an 1GB RAM, even at 7-3-4-2.5-1T... :shrug:
EDIT: I would change that RAM to BH-5 for further testing, you know. Those times can make people suspicious, especially when looking at such high clocks on air/water. I just noticed that you have Dynamic Idle Cycle Counter on Disabled... That will kill 32M more than TRC=12, :hehe:
[QUOTE=eva2000]still seems a tad low to me
LOL, I'm comparing him to himself. You are one of the all time greats with memory. I'm sure you could take a $150 set of 2gb ram and beat a $300 set.
gundamit needs to tighten Idle Cyle to 16clks and enable Dynamic counter and see what happens i guess
this is 12x245mhz 2.5-3-2-5 with 2x1GB Patriot PC3200LLK

can't wait to get my opteron 144 and 146s to put some ram through their paces as well :)
@eva2000,
yeah, I edited my above post before I saw yours... I just get suspicious when I see such bad times at very high clocks :p: :lol:
Very powerfull your memos, god luck whit the 315 @ 3-3-3-5-7-14-1t (more volts ?)
When do you put your opty in subzero temps ?
hug'zz
that's great MM....are you able to do any SPI with 310MHz
Gee guys. Here I was all set to go to my Mushkin BH-5 and suddenly I get tips on tightening my timing on the TCCD. I did mention I didn't do anything with the timings right? In any case I appreciate the input and give it a try and will report back in.
WOW :woot:
I always did love quality silicone.
*cough*silicon*cough*
no, you mean boobies! :toast:Quote:

gundamit which bios are you using? I heard you have to use 704-BT(A) to get TCCD working, is this correct?
time to drop the multiplier
Per your suggestions I've changed the timings and dropped some time from the 32M run at 3.14ghz. Thanks.
