nice going so far
too bad the mobo dies
so is it the 0530APMW stepping
the new week 36 ones don't seem to be so crash hot

Other than having the 10x multi do the opty 146 overclock better than the 144's?
If you mean higher, probably. However, the 144's getting 3000-3100MHz is a big clock on air.Quote:

So i got up this morning with the intent to hotflash a NF4 bios on a NF2 mthbrd, heheheee. Anyhow be4 I got to attempting this, i decided to have one more attempt in restarting the mthbrd, out of the case. Well guess wht it booted, but this dosnt mean it is working as should.
Im running right now at 4x200 with a 166 divider and 1.225 volts :eek:, i wasnt able to get it into windows with any sort of stabilty with any other way. Im also getting hardrive corruption, tried switching the SATA ports but this doesnt seem to be the cause of the failure.
Question: Would a very erratic vCore cause harddrive corruption?
Im going to flash the bios to the latest bios on dfi website and will see if the mobo starts behaiving. Im still interested in getting the aRock, thts if it shares the same SATA RAID controller as this mobo (im doubting this very much)
Right time to flash....
did you have to resuscitate :rofl:Quote:

brb i hope....
How can I get this cpu?
They dont ship to Denmark.
I take it you live in Denmark, then you will be able to get it from,Quote:

That's the reason I quit using raid0 in oc'ing. It doesn't take much to corrupt the hd's and nf does not work with ghost in raid0. Glad to hear it's bad working, big hassle rma'ing stuff.Quote:

mongoled -> 800 MHz @ 1.225V is normal ...
Venice can 2 GHz @ 1V ! (Maybe not all)
Hey I know wht u mean!! Ive managed to save this array, by using an IDE drive, booting to the OS, then connecting the SATA cables into my hitachi drives. The OS wasnt even readable in windowsQuote:

It came from lowering the vCore too much when trying to burn-in!! For some reason, the Ultra-D (we both have) in combination with the Opteron 146 (we both have) with low voltage corrupts the raid0 drives, to the extent tht it is not possible to boot the computer properly never mind get into the operating system.
Think im going to continue my ovrclk experiments on my SATA drive or even the IDE drive i have!!
So after 3 days of trying to resolve the raid0 problem I can get back to ovrclking this puppy i have, hopefully more results to come soon...........
Yup this is very true, but i will be carefull from now on with this CPU inthis mobo!!!Quote:

Thanxs for tht information, I may investigate the this product, as you say it works with raid0 then tht is great :)Quote:

Anyhow, this is another conversation, hehheee
I have a nice picture for you peeps, cover the eyes of the younger members :) I have a naked Opty here, eehhehehehe

Looks to be running at least 3C cooler, im priming while i right this at 2.9Ghz with default volts. My digital mm says my core is running with 1.44v. I will be doing some testing tonite, I hope i can reach greater speeds
:)
Here is superPI 32M at 3050mhz, without IHS load temps have dropped 6C, the CPU now scales as it should have in the beginning with voltage increase!
Am using 1.525v set ib bios, 1.57v on my digital MM, load temps 40C
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/1...3050mhz3vg.gif
More testing tomorrow, time for bed
:)
Well I finally managed to dump some ice into my bucket to get a half decent attempt at a superPI 32M bench.
Here is wht 5C water helped me get, this is at 3150mhz, 9:10 divdier giving mem 287mhz 2.5-4-3-7

I tied superPI'ing @ 3200mhz but failed on the 11th Iteration, the water is starting to heat up already!!
-EDIT-
heheheee, just managed to get a real suicide screenshot, computer crashed just after I pressed ctrl-s :)

You have a good CPU. Why don't you suitch your ram for some new PC4800 TCCD? You should reach 315 without dividers. If I had a CPU like that!
Unless I get round to building a water chiller this CPU will 'only' be running at 300x10. In an ideal world, I would have a cascade setup which will fit in my case and the ram you described, heeehehee.Quote:

But running 315 stable with only 1.5v core is nothing a XP-90C with a decent fan can't handle. You will get about 46-48º degrees in full load.
hmmm i think you are assuming too much ;), I had the CPU on an XP90 (non 'c' version), crap fan though and the heat it was giving off could not be handled as I increased the voltage. This CPU is putting out alot of heat, and wont run over 3Ghz unless voltage is greater than 1.55v!Quote:

:p:
is the opteron as good as the venice and san diego's for gaming?
The only difference between a 939 opteron and any other 939 cpu of the same mhz/cache is that the opteron is binned higher.
by binned higher do you mean they have more mhz buffer?
My understanding of binning is this: Due to inevitable variations during the manufacturing process, a given lot of chips (be they CPU's, memory, or whatnot) from the same batch will not perform identically. The only way to determine the merits of a given chip is for the manufacturer to actually test them. Some are dogs, some are average, and some are superior. These chips are then "binned" accordingly - that is they are physically seperated from each other according to their performance. Say, for example, we are talking PC3200 memory. The dogs go on to become value memory, the average chips become standard memory, and the superior chips become performance memory. All are rated at PC3200, but some will perform better than others, and thus the manufacturer charges accordingly.
This is just my understanding, and I am sure someone in the know could provide more accurate and/or better details.
