4 Ghz!!!..........

Nice clocks!

Congrats for a 4Ghz Opteron :toast:

You mean you think I should try to get the system warmer? It's actually a difficult thing to do with the autocascade. If I use something which loads my cpu up, my temps climb to ~-32C loaded and that's not exactly an ideal temp ;) On the other hand, if I boot @ 1.71V, my idle temps don't climb any higher than -43C core/ -73C evap. So basically I'm stuck at these temps :p:

Congrats on the amazing clocks, stephan - awesome stepping and effort!! :toast: :woot:

Congrats bud! Now get those PIs rolling!

4ghz....thats it???????

j/k, good job, still playing with cpu samples i see (AABCE ;))

Well done ! 4ghz is insane

Amazing!:eek:

i've had similar experiences steve.. a 144 that could get a screen at 3.3ghz on water, but couldn't do much over 2.9ghz benchable :confused:

i know it's a long shot, but have you tried messing with ldt and chipset voltages? :p:

I understand what you're saying, but this is the way I look at it - How many 4ghz AMD cpu's have we seen? 10? Maybe 15? Now I bet that EVERY SINGLE one of those cpu's were able to run a 1m @ 3750 minimum (but more likely @ 3800). This cpu is an absolute beast when you look at it's vcore/mhz ratio and definately didn't even struggle to get to 4g. I know there's more in it, just gotta figure out what's throwing the runs off......

And although I may be absent minded at times and can't figure out which way to plug in a floppy cable, by no means am I a noob -----OF COURSE I TRIED MESSING WITH LDT AND CHIPSET VOLTAGE......:D

did you try kicking it? i find that sometimes helps....noob :slap:

Strange tbh. For example, difference between Intel dothan completely stable and ss could be as little as 10Mhz :p:

Nice clocks though for non FX :toast:

There's a 50% chance you'll do it right the first time - if it fails - it must the the other direction - nooblet :poke:

Congrats Stephen on another beastly chip, and the joining of a club that you can count the members on two hands with ;)

FCG: I found kicking cpu's doesnt really help with clocks, had a CBBID 0509DPEW 3000+ Winny that wouldnt run anything about 2.5ghz stable for the life of it (Before and after I kicked it ;) )

Congrats this is a real milestone :)

...standing-by for SPi32M :D

It looks like my "Opteron SPi32M result" will be going down soon enough. It will be with 154 so it makes me feel much better :lol: Is that the one from Ebay auction, Steven? Nice chip... :up:

No, haven't tried that yet. However, I did try the 'ol "Pull-your-cpu-out-with-it-stuck-to-the-evap-head-and-watch-the-pins-freeze-over-trick". Needless to say, that didn't help one bit.......

Nice opteron :toast:

s7e9h3n are you making ice for some drinks? :p

AArgh, that trick is cheating, your screenshots are not valid! :D

Nice going man, rock on!! :toast:

Expecting to see a sub 20 minute SPi32M run pretty soon. ;)

wow really awesome. What about something colder :rolleyes:

I was just advising this because even if I’m quite a beginner in phase change cooling, I noticed with my Opteron and Venice that there is a temperature where they work the best. They might just not improve after this point or they can also get worse, who knows.
I remember that cpull had to shut down his cascade to get to the sweet point that was -21C on his WR Venice 3000+

So you actually think that it can accept lower tmp than -45C :slobber: well if the chip is similar to FX57 it makes sense :)
Man you always get the ones that like cold, can’t forget your bloody -48C with your 3200+ :D

could you post a few pics of your autocascade ?
4ghz ! congrats

:p:

i wouldn't have thought to do so... mostly cause it'snever helped when i did think of it. oh well :toast: :toast:

I waited for a 4GHZ opteron so long and now I finally can see it - many thanks :D
Congratulation for this great OC :toast:

Holy crap dude. AMAZING result. Keep goin ;).

lucky bastard :slobber: you and your uber cores, first the 3200, then the 4200, now this :toast: good stuff man!
