yup, almost identical to mine, under your Mach2 GT I'd say 3.10~3.20Ghz dual prime is almost guaranteed, just make sure your PSU supply enough juice for the insane clock :D :D let us know your result.Quote:

Mine is about the same. I put mine back on a TT BT and was testing it last night. On air doing dual prime it is very hard to keep the PWMIC under 50c if I go aboveQuote:

hehe...tell me about the dang PWMIC, when I was running air I had 2 fans blowing directly onto that area but it's still 60'C+ during dual prime, was only using 1.42v :eek: now that I put it back on phase change, there's more room within the case for a big 120mm fan with 110cfm, during dual prime the PWMIC is around 45~48'C, I had already sink all the hotspot (R60 chips, etc)! the only way to drop it down to low 40s or high 30s is opened the window :DQuote:

Here is a picture @ 2860Mhz spi 32MB 1.48v

It takes 47ºC full when doing spi32MB with "fresh" air.
finally got this chip stable at 2,9ghz... its way to time eating so ill settle with that.
@Magic, what did you have to do to get to 2.9ghz?
Also, to all of you guys, from your experiences, what is the best ram-type to use with these chips, UTT or TCCD?
I've seen UTT, TCCD, UCCC, Micron 5B-D / F, Infenion CE-5 / 6 all do very good. It doesn't really matter, atleast not with this stepping. Seems to have a solid memory controller.Quote:

picked up an OEM 170 CCBWE 0550 UPMW from eBay. Haven't got any hardware to throw it in yet, but I hope it'll be a good clocker. Damn RD580 hurry up already.
I have problems getting above 2800 with mine :(
And need 1.500 to get to 2800 stable...above 2800 core0 is always failing on me...bad IHS mount?
Do you have the batch numbers for that cpu :)Quote:

The vcore dropped from 1.52v to 1.42v, but I think thats an issue with the A8N32 board which the overvolt option cures :)
Temps are higher than my 3300mhz 148 opteron at 1.52v. Under 2xCore load the CPU reads as low as -6c and idles at -17c is that OK for a mach II GT?
Cheers
mine should be here in a few days!
lol :p:Quote:

I have to thank the guy that sold it to me. Off ebay no less :stick:
I did know the stepping was CCBWE 0550UPMW 408L though. I was however, unsure if it was an early or late batch. It seems the early 408L batches of this week and stepping may not clock so well according to a few posts here.
Although if I was the owner of one of them, I may reconsider my initial findings and re-test the CPU. Just to be 100% sure :p:

Does anyone have a Opty 170 0550 UPMW (274L). Just got one from Monarch today. I can only get it stable to around 2.8Ghz and it doesnt matter what voltage I set it to. I got it to this clock @1.45v but even if I up it to 1.6V it doesnt go any higher. I am going to remove the IHS and replace thermal compound with AS5 and retest; I will also try running naked as well.
Monarch seems to still be shipping the 0550's; at least the one I just got is. Ill let you huys know what I end up with on this 274L batch.

Just tried some cold air with my 170.
2950Mhz 1.52v (single spi1mb)
http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/9131/29507hp.th.jpg
And a SS at 3163Mhz, still on air.
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=73744
At 1.65V it didn't boot... I saw 45ºC in bios and when was charging the desktop it shutdown..
Hehehe, well, all is relative..of course I am happy with 2800, but seeing as other with similar chips can get 2800-3000 on air/water, I can help but feeling slightly disappointed with mine...Quote:

To be honest I'm in the same situation as you PhanTom. My 165 CCBWE 0551 UPWM won't do 2650 :( But now I think of it, thats more than a $1000 FX-60 so I'm gonna accept it and be VERY happy with it (and to be more honest, even if thats not the XS spirit) you don't notice the difference in any way apart from benching. Noone here can argue that they can see the difference between running FEAR at 70 or 74 FPS. Or Word opening in 0.7secs instead of 0.6 :D
