whats your opty's stepping!?!?
Nice M/B and chip, i had the same and was able to clock my 165 to 3GIG, but thats not saying yours will do the same, it all depends on the batch number, you might even have a better clocking chip, whats the stepping of the opty you have?
The only problem with the ASUS M/B is it is volt to CPU limited inline with AMD tec, so you will only be able to pump 1.55v though it, the best M/B for the job has got to be DFI as this will allow you to set at what is reqiuerd to clock this CPU.
ah its the lcb9e. im not sure how good that is,
i heard that this is just a X2 repackaged with 1m L2 cache? is this true?
i will be installing it this weekend, ill take pics as i do it.
ok so here are some pics:
asus put some goowey dried bubblegum lookin thermal compound on the north and south bridges...
it was hard to get off, i tired to use isopropl and my peice off old credit card plastic, i got most of it of but there was still some residue.

heres the thermal pad, its almsot like a mesh rubber type of material, wasnt to bad to scrap off, just wiped with isopropl to get all the glue off.

i put ac5 on all the mosfets and north and south bridges hopefully this will keep temps down.
anybody else do this and see any solid results?
I did and saw maybe a degree or two of difference, but it still ran consistently hotter than any of the other boards I have used, especially CPU wise.
The 100% Acetone (i.e. Nail Polish Remover) should cleanse the grease off with much ease and leave no mess. Check this out.
here are some of the pics of my opty heatsink. its a pretty good quality for stock i must say.
whats the forth wire for?

That looked kindof nice for stock cooling I must say... the one with the x2's literarily blow snot! But I must also say it was a lousy finish on it.. lots of scratches, what's that all about... some indonesian who REALLY hates his job? :confused:
The fourth wire is for a fourth pin... if your mb don't have the fourth pin the fan probably will only run on lowest volt, propably 7V or so... Had a fan for the hyper 48 cooler that wouldn't run at 12V, only 7.... So if your cpu-fan connecter only have 3pins, only plug in anyway, the fourth only runs on mb with PWM.... which is fourth pin..'
lot's of four pins mentioned there... sorry bout that :rolleyes:
I don't have my own, but as a guess from the colours (this is pretty much what freakBYnature said):
Red wire = 5V
Black wire = Earth / Ground / lower potential than the other two
Yellow wire = 12V
Blue wire = the one that sends pulses for RPM counts (which allows the motherboard to then use PWM accordingly to change the fan speed)
Isnt the yellow 7V? 5+7=12 ... Since 12V is max? 5+12=17V, that can't be right... but correct me if I'm wrong :)Quote:

the motherboard runs hot 33c and 34c idle...im using the fan they gave me for the heatpipes. hmm maybe i put to much as5 on the chips or maybe it jsut has to cure.
i havent really benchmarked it yet i will do that soon.
jsu a pain to install everything back.
will update as i go

The more you do this in the first days, the quicker it settles correctly :)
33-34 for MB is not so hot. But if airflow is an issue you may try moving the cables inside your case to a corner or a side. I use these things that the cops use instead of handcuffs... Called strips here, don't know what in english (for one times sake :D)
Opteron 165是什么啊~~~~~~
你们说这些是没有意义的。。。。
I've discovered why!!! Yeah I truly did! If you set 1.35 from BIOS it will pump out an approx. 0.05~0.1V EXTRA! So the bios settings regarding vcore is wrong! If you want 1.35V you have to set 1.3 or EVEN LOWER! That's why the higher temps, cause it overvolts it on every single setting!Quote:

Reboot............ ........... ..........
Windows reads: 1.39V!! ;) Which aint logic, cause it should say like 1.33V!!!
I've figured it out... and by doing this, the temps are NORMAL! Like they should be... idle 30c and load like 44~46C!! :) And I even oc'd my Opteron 170 to 2.6GHz on this volt I just wrote... 1.33V from bios ;) SICK! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
