I had to read this a few times to understand what you said. I thought you said that the test were worthless and I was going to say I do not agree with you. However, you said your opinion was worthless and I can not argue with that.Quote:

But I've noticed the meaning of "total stability" is quite subjective here, lol.
I have the BigWater SE in a Aspire X-Qpack...I like it. It is not a major product like the "Storm" or "Maze" setups, but like the non-expert DFI boards- it does the job and was relatively inexpensive.Quote:

Testing my CAB2E 0546FPAW opty 146 from mwave right now, so far I have got it at 2.2GHz stock voltage, not much I know but I just started testing. It will probably go higher. I will post all my results. I also have a 146 on the way from NCIX, will test that when it gets here and decide which one I want to keep :)
I was just curious what kind of temps some other people have with opterons. I have an XP-90 heatsink. I just got my opty 146. Right now I am at 2.6ghz at almost stock volts. I know with my X2 and all my different venices ive had, my temps for idle/load varied by at least 5 or 6C. Like with my 3200 venice @ 2.5ghz, my idle was like 32C and load was like 38-39C.
Well, my temps with my opty and xp-90 are at 38C idle and about 40-41C load. I was just wondering, seems strange it only changes 1-3C from idle to load.
the temps are probably being reported incorrectly. i have that problem as well
Thats what I was thinking. I have no clue what my temps really are then. Im hoping my load temp is correct and idle is off heh.
Seems strange though, must be the motherboard not completely supporting my opteron maybe. Cause my venices and x2 ive used seemed to report the correct temps.
I doubt either temps are correct, mine will jump from 38c to 33c with out going to anything in the middle, and hang around 28-29c idle, with a 900MHz overclock and 1.52v. The load temp is 44c, but I doubt thats the real temp. Anyway, my CAB2E 0546FPAW opty 146 seems to have hit it's limit at 2.9GHz. When I get home today I will go for the lowest voltage, and then I will post my results.

talking about temps , i have watercooling and my 148 runing 3ghz@1.40v the temps are 26/27c idle and 37/38 runing OCCT or other stress test.
My Opteron would OCCT like crazy but Prime failed within 30 seconds.
My 146 @ 2.8GHz will run OCCT all day long with only 1.312Vcore but Prime95 ver 24.14 craps out after ~45 minutes using same Vcore :(
My best for now vith Vapochill XE.:D http://img419.imageshack.us/img419/5...z154vocctv.jpg
dej uporabi SNAGIT ;)
here we go again... temps rises again after i shutdown my pc and turn it back on... last night i had good temps idles at 22-26c... i left it on all night den i shutdown my pc and turned it back on... bam!!! temps are out of wack again idles at 40c.. maybe my mobo has a bug or something.. can someone take a wild guess and tell me what might be wrong... it does this everything i turn my pc off and on
Hello. Just got my hands on a Opteron 146 0540 FPBW from a guy in england and as far as I saw, it got a pretty early batch ( around 200? ) So with a big typhoon is this a descent clocker? Don't feel for looking up every page in this thread to find out.
I got absolutely retarded temperature readings on my Neo2 platinum, don't trust it.Quote:

What is the rest of the stepping? IE: CABYE , CAB2E , CABNE , etc.Quote:

ps, my bad. Its Cabye.
I really hope so shark, paid 232£ including shipping so I am not happy if I dont hit at least 3.0 Ghz with low v-core
Opty 146 CAB2E 0546FPAW stable @ 2.9GHz (click to enlarge):

Well My opty seems happy at 2870... did get prime steady for 7 hrs....
Might have to get you guys to glance you eyes over my mem settings though... im sure the ram can run faster than it is !!!!
Also going back to temps... i dont trust mine atall... 38-40 idle... with in a nano second of starting prime it jumps to 50-55... when i stop prime its drops just as quick :)
Put same chip in friends expert board and cpu idles at 35 full load at about 40
Ive got a piccy with some ram timings a couple of pages back if ya wanna peek
regards

Mine is at 285*10 - 1,45v in bios..
and its sitting under a Arctic Freezer 64 pro cooler :slobber:

I had the same temps are you did with my 146 cabne 0546 aswell at 2.9ghz but using 1.6v, i'm also using the Freezer 64 pro. Now after I removed the IHS and some burn in, its at 28c/38c and its stable at 1.55v now, so regardless how exact the readings are it dropped over 10c.Quote:

So you are without IHS on the Freezer 64 pro? sounds interesting.. perhabs I should try that. :toast: but I don't really trust my temps that much because the cooler is quite cool and I got a nice airflow after my opinion..Quote:
