Sure thing, I'm just waiting for my replacement graphics card to show up so I can run 3d benches :)Quote:

So what are peoples general results from 06' Opty's?
pretested @ how much vCore ?Quote:

Buy a new (untested) opty 146 and... Test it yourself..
this is the OC-part of XS..
(oc = test it yourself ;))
Most of the time they use air or watercooling. Vcore never above 1,55V.
That's what I've seen from most of the pretested cpu's.
15MHz more with .01V and 4°C less :D
3425MHz@1.73V | http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=75997

1.48V.Quote:

How good is it? Let's see screenies :)
I'll do that once I've flashed this new bios...Quote:

it SAVES you money ?Quote:

although, most opteron 146 cpu's can reach 3ghz @ 1.5vCore @ air
Most 146s can't reach 3 Ghz with 1.5vcore... many will reach 3.0 Ghz but it's still above average, and 3 Ghz with 1.5vcore is definitely above average.
Look at MaxxxRacer's CPU. CABYE 0540FPBW, one of the best steppings ever. Tops out at 2.9 Ghz with 1.5v on watercooling.
I thought 99% of opty146 cpu's could reach 3ghz @ 1.5vCore (with decent air/water cooling)Quote:

thx for the information :)
Nope, it was cheaper than usual prices here.Quote:

HI
Just got few Opterons 146 CACJE 0601 GPAW anyone interested??
Super pi (32m) at 3Ghz
mention vCore plz ;)Quote:

how much € do you want ?
1.5 Vcore
DFI Ultra-d
Waterchill Modified Water cooling (black ice pro rad)
IHS not removed
I was looking for around 220 euro, but email me and we can talk it over
i thought it was aircooled..Quote:

so..thx ;)
if u have X2 cpu's, i'm interested :)
I removed the hs of my 144 0536 GPMW.
Before i had to give 1,52v for 2,8ghz and now 1,48v are enough.
Could a burn in improve the clock? The cpu is one of the first opterons ...
Well I think it will do 3Ghz @ aircooling,Quote:

Prime at 3.11 eh, not bad at all - let's see the screenshots, not the CPUZ validator.
:woot: :woot: :woot:
I thought i put some
Sry
Will do now
Hmm 1.65v isn't "under 1.6v" but that's still pretty damn nice :)
Ahh weel, I am still darn happy,
I wanna put this baby under 1.75 to see if i hit 3.2 primestable,
Is it worth it??
