Thanks man! Question, what kind of voltage did you give it? Mine was at like 1.84v but I dont think it needed that much. The one thing I was surprised about is that it booted into windows at 3.5ghz and wouldnt even boot at 3.4ghz. I guess it just needed a little breaking in. LOL Next step is to get some spi runs at 3.6ghz +.Quote:

I just need to figure out whats going on. I tried some BH-5/6 (could be either or) and that didn't change much. :confused:
I think i got mine pretty stable at 2.9ghz @ 1.55V x 1.072 (1.6616V bios): occt torture - 6+ hrs (while sleeping), 32m spi stable (while trolling forums - using my pc).
http://img427.imageshack.us/img427/3...able3jl.th.jpg
I was all the way up to 2.95GHz @ 1.55 x 1.120 (1.736V bios) - 1.69V according to smart guardian w/ load temps of about the same, but it wasn't 32m stable, but was 8m stable. dunno if i want to push it more.... i think i'm happy at 2.9 :)
I can't for the life of me get hold of a CABYE or CABNE stepping in the UK... so frustrating... :(
Are there any e-stores that have any of these 144's or 146's in stock (CABNE or CABYE)? I've been searching all over and can only find a single 146 CABYE on eBay with a possibly unreliable seller!
Anywhere that I could possibly order about 3 144's or some 146's? Monarch is out of stock until end of November, eWiz doesn't have 939 100's ... any suggestions? Or do I just have to wait until, oh, December?

So after my neo-2 died on me, I am now running on my old abit av8 until I get it rma'd. I have installed a aquagate mini r120 instead of my zalman 7700. Now My temps are down about 10 to 15 degrees at load from the zalman, and I can OCCT at 3100mhz At just under 1.6v.
I'm still having alot of trouble with my ram timings getting superpi stable at this speed.
Here is a screenie of my occt 3100mhz.
Remember, the temp sensor on these av8's is at least 12 degrees to high on the cpu, so we are probably right under 50C loaded here.

He'll be getting some more cpus in very soon.
Got a 146 CABYE 0536GPMW from ewiz the other day. Benched this morning. Running 100% stable @ 280x10 1.55v. Temps seem high 58-60C on a crappy water cooling setup. Might just be my nf3 Neo2 reporting wrong. Maybe IHS needs removal?
I've got a DFI NF4 SLI coming Mon so maybe some better results.
Same stepping here, i'm seeing similar temps. 52-52c full load on stock cooler. @ 2552mhz. (Still trying to figure out this DFI board)Quote:

Ok.. so mabye my boards a bit retarded.. but I'm happy with this so far.
(Used Bios for everything. Memtested for 40min, and 10passes of test 5 before I booted it into windows.)
Idles at 37c Load in pic... stock cooler with AS3. I'm not sure if I need this much Vcore, tomorrow i'll bump it down till it becomes unstable and maybe see if I can get it 1:1. Lots of tweaking tomorrow as well.

@ WesM63
Is that the correct memory frequency in the screenshot? Timings seem really loose for only 200MHz.
BTW, I posted a screenie over at LN of my 2800MHz
Which do you guys think I'd see better performance out of? A slightly overclocked X2 3800+, a 4000+ overclocked to at least 2.6, or an Opteron 144/146 overclocked to 2.9?
Here's my setup:
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
2GB Ballistix Tracer PC4000 (512MB x 4 Dual Channel)
2 XFX 7800GT (SLI)
Chenbro Gaming Bomb II case
Silverstone Zeus 650W SLI-cert PSU
Lots and lots of air cooling
I have enough money for any of those three procs, plus enough for a very nice air cooler (I'm not doing watercooling just yet -- that's for later this year). Any suggestions????

Opteron 148 CABYE 0528GPMW, under stock cooler. Running on a divider using some old TwinMos BH5, as I don't have my RAM yet. The ITE monitor was showing ~ 55c during the run. Will be moving this cpu under a swifty storm block in about a week.
SPI 32M, 11x265
That's what I like to see, same exact stepping/chip that I have coming performing like a CABNE :slobber: I've got hope now for 300x10 1:1.. nice results!
That's funny. This morning I decided to back my 144 to 2906 and run 4x512 UTT T2. SS are close.Quote:

do you take off your IHS? if yes what do you gain with that?
sorry my english :D
Right now I am testing ram timings and dividers. They are really tricky with this chip. Like for some reason I cant even boot using the 166 divider but I dont have any problems running at 3.4ghz with the 180 divider (ram at 304).Quote:

Pretty disapointed so far but I guess I need to take some action on better cooling. I'm using the heatsink from my winchester 3200 since I lapped it pretty well, looks about the same as the stock one but maybe it's worse. Looks like I may have to hook the water back up but thats a pita and I was hoping for some air goodness. max tcase is 57c if that means anything.
Starting to wonder if this is better than my winchester, cache not withstanding.
Has anyone with dfi lp and a 146 tried the 9x multi? I can't get it to boot into windows at 9x300. Seems like my winchester had 9x issues too.
I have same exact s*it, 146 CABYE 0536, but at least I can prime 2.7Ghz with 1.360v reported by CPU-Z. I use Thermaltake Venus 12 copper cooler, I lapped it + my opteron is ihsless. I also have a very good contact between cpu and cooler. Looks like I can prime up to 2.85GHz@1.568 but anything higher fails. I somehow can run super pi 32m at 3.003Mhz and super pi 1m at 3050MhzQuote:

My temps: Idle ~33C with 1.568v and 51C load with same voltage. With 1.600v ~35C idle and 54C load.
Anybody have any idea why cannot I prime at ~2.92 Ghz or more?
Hopefully burn-in will take effect and I'll get better cooling, still have to repay some $$ to parents :slapass:

Prime at 2700 1.36v is a long way from my situation. Looks like you got the better of the two chips. Maybe popping the lid would help. I was actually stable at 1.35 2400mhz so thats not bad. Your chips pretty darn hot being neked and hitting 50 load. I noticed when I went from 1.525 to 1.55 I jumped like 5c load so thats not a good thing. Maybe they jump in heat output after 1.55ish or it could be my sink became overloaded at that point.
Think I'll try the half-life2 burn in technique and see how that goes. Been mos since I played any games and I'm sure there are some guys who need to die under my opterown powa.....can't prime but im sure hl can probably play at 2750.
Does anybody have any idea what the black gunk they use to glue the ihs is? Silicone maybe?
I would also like to know where everyone's buying their CABYE 0540 chips..
gbomb....RTV silicone
christ.. that's why MSI boards suck for OCing... wow. It's a shame really, because my board is the same way, and it performs VERY well in all other area... but voltage stability = bad. foo!!Quote:

Highest temp was exactly 50C. New bios didn't help neither did volts.
wtf, this cpu should prime at least 2.95GHz error free
@gbomb944 put your chip on water :p:
You should give it more volts, the newer batches don't run high with low volts like the first ones. My 144 cabne 0540 needs 1.65V to stabilize at 3.0ghz. At default voltage I could do games at 2.7ghz but wasnt stable in prime.Quote:

This is kinda a suicide SS. Well not really.. but the voltage and cooling resulted in 60c load. I was like F-That and took it back down to 2.8ghz @ 52c load.
Better cooling and tweaking is still in order. I want 3ghz, but I couldn't get the system to boot at 10x300 and wasn't going to give it any more vcore with stock cooling lol.

try bumping to Read Preamble to 6 or 7.......i'd also relax the RAM timings in general just to make sure nothing is throwing it out

It's a CABYE 0536GPMW, look 5 or 6 post above, I'll try with one stick of ram, higher read preamble don't help either :(Quote:

Thanks for your input :toast:
CABYE 0528:
Stock voltage runs up to 2.926 Ghz, then voltage jumps up quite a bit to get it stable. Runs stable in OCCT at 3.003 Ghz with 1.550v, but the PWM temps start hitting the mid 60s. Experience shows that the comp freezes at around 70C.
Since I don't want to add another fan to my watercooled setup to cool the PWM, and I want this to be stable during the summer heat (it gets hot here), I have downclocked it down to 2.904 Ghz at 1.450v, which seems to be stable. 6 hours on Prime so far at least. At this point, my memory should be able to run at 1:1, and the core temp is only about 41C.
I used the ram settings found in the TCCD at 600MHz thread on this board.Quote:

same chip.. I too seem to be stuck at 2700 so far.. 1.5v...I'm still hoping that my ram is what's holding me back.. (1gig buffalo 3700 that won't even run 3700.. corsair value won't run stable@2.7.. neither seems to want to post over 192mhz... w/ divider..heard dfi hates alot of ram.. maybe that was true. needed new ram anyway though.) 2x1gig ballistix should be here in a couple hours.. still waiting on new water tubing thoughQuote:

Can someone tell me which USA online store I have a good chance of getting a decent stepping 146 from if I order now?
I can get a friend to buy one, and I am currently CPU-les and going out of my mind trying to find a decent CPU. All the UK has are CABGE's and it is seriously peeing me off. :mad:
Well all of us that ordered from ewiz 2wks ago received CABYE 0536GPMW. Some do better then others, but 2.8ghz should be attainable at the least.
It's just a nightmare in the UK to get any sort of decent CPU... we seem to get the late batches and cast-offs, it's really disheartening seeing as the rest of my rig is well up to the task of 300HTT+. I had a CABGE that managed 2.7ghz max with 1.7v so sold it asap.
The only CABYE i've seen has been on Ebay and even then a USA seller.
Any other stores people are getting lucky with lately?
hahah hey rev! how you doin partner!Quote:

then after that learn about all these MBM tray shots you guys have that are so beautiful showin all the voltages and temps, all named proper n :banana::banana::banana::banana: + smartguardian yay.
Do you have any info on the new batch of 144s that CPUCity have just got in? Mine should be shipping tomorrow, I'm hoping that because it's a new lot that they'll be CABYE, but I've got nothing to back that up. Tried asking earlier, but got no reply...Quote:

thanks. :banana:
well guys, just got my 175, a rather weird turn of events too, I got ccbwe 0530 tpmw. I guess I'll just have to see what this thing can do. Anyone with a similar stepping, please shed some light so we all kind of know what to expect. I'll be giving stock v-core results in an hour :)
I think you're the first I've seen that has reported in with a dualy opteron in hand. Look forward to some results. May be you can start a new thread for dual core opterons? :DQuote:

I think the issue I'm having is pretty much heat related. I can set it priming and watch the temps in mbm. It will be stable til I hit about 48-50 then it will croak. When it first starts it jumps from 33 to 42 or so. When I had water it would've gone to 42 or something and just stay there and the chip would probably be stable to much higher. I takes about 2 minutes to get 50 on the stock sinkthen an error. I think the stock sink just can't keep up.
I'm running 2600 at 1.5 now. Probably too much v since it can be stable at 2650 at 1.5 long as I dont prime.
I heard the latest batch at CPUCITY was CABGE'S, jst like the new stock at OCUk will lilkely be. Though i'm not 100% sure.Quote:

I posted in the Monarch Opteron thread, but I guess I will post my results here as well. I got two Opteron 146 CABNE 0530APMW CPU's that did pretty well. One reached 2.85ghz on stock volts (1.4v) while the other reached 2.87ghz on stock volts Prime 95 stable 24 hours large FFT test. I can't really push it any further because I am getting load temps of about 48C with my SLK-948U :( . I'll have to get either a XP/SI-120 or watercooling in order to go higher. My spare CPU is on ebay, so if you want a CABNE here is your chance ;) .
Mine new opteron 144 :D :D

This is what i have managed with the crappy MSI Neo 2 1.52V 2824MHz using the default heatsink of the 4400+.Iam going to buy a DFI to have more control over VCore........

and its up to $275 BTW how much did you pay :)Quote:

Monarch sold the 146 for only $200 when they first had them in stock, since the AMD price dropped on OCT 31 so if I were to swing $300 I might as well spend a little extra to go dual core opty :D :DQuote:
