The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

Oh wow all these 144's killing me. I got a 146 because I had read they overclocked well.

I'm @ 2.9GHz with 1.5v not prime stable. Had it running for 7 hours then it quit.
Could be a memory issue, but my ram is memtest stable.

I changed my TRP from 2 to 3 and that made things more stable so my prime run of 7 mins changed to 7 hours. Now I'm running a cas 2.5 to 3 and I will see how long it ran once I get home tonight. I'm at school studying on my laptop. :(

I want to hit 3GHz~!!!! I have a CAB2E 0546 UPMW on a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D.

Hopefully I can get things stable at 2.9GHz, then I will try for 3GHz. Any others think my baby can to 3GHz?

My temps are a bit off. I was using the stock heatsink/fan, not the heatpipe one, but the crappy one, so I went out and got an XP-90C since I already had a 92mm panaflo medium at home. Now my temps with 1.5vcore gives me about 52degrees celcius full load.

I think I should try reseating the heatsink.

I've read that just adding a dab of thermal paste in the middle does it for these AMD64 processors, but does it really?

How do you guys do it?

I think my temps are too high.

Comments? :)

I just got an Opteron 146 CAB1E 0614DPCW to do 3GHz@1.425v on air :) Prime stable too!

ok result, not amazing but its fine i think... :rolleyes:

now primestable 3000Mhz 1,55V from bios and i'm quite happy :banana:

i'll receive one or two other opty 144 soon: cab1e 0614 bpmw :D

That CAB1E will be a killer. I hear it is cold bugged but on air I run 3.15GHz at 1.425Vcore (CPU-z says 1.39). Best $130 I ever spent on a proc.

Opteron 146 CACJE 603FPMW @ 3 Ghz prime stable :)

errr.... well here's mine CAB1E 0614BPMW, rig spec as in sig.

CAB1E 0614 BPMW air cooled (25-26°C ambiant temp)

@ amok: what is your cooling to have 25°C laod

I just got my chip from a fellow forum member and was noticing something funny.

2700mhz - 300x9 - ram @ 1T 5:6 divider-246mhz 8-4-4-3 - passes pi, fails prime in mins.

2700 - 300x9 - ram @ 2T 1:1 - 300mhz - 8-4-4-3 been priming the past hour or so.

WOW, 1t is certainly crazy on the ram that it wouldnt be stable at 246 1T but 300 2T is more stable (so far)

CAB2E 0540FPMW

Also guys, i might get a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4-D from a trade and wondering if this is the same board (performance wise) to a Ultra D? I want to give my opty what it needs and 333mhz =) I cant do that with my Asus or Abit board. Im sure this chip will do it, but the person i got it from had it on a Ultra D. Would this be a good choice? I want something that is known to do over 330fsb...and i see everyone in this thread that has a opty runs on ultra d's.

Well, 300mhz for ram crashed about 2 hours into it.

Im hoping ..dam shame =( going to get the DFI board in a few weeks, guess ill just settle till then.

Hmm, where are you fellas getting these fantastic cab1e opty 144's ?
I'm kinda interested .

:)

I have a CAB2E 0540FPMW, got it from a fellow [H] member.

So far its cranking away at 305x9, more to come when i get my DFI (hopefully)

Why isn't my siggy showing up?

My opty 165 hasn't been able to get past 283x9 stock voltages...not bad though!

starostise@ my ambient is at 18C (air conditioned room)

ohh, i cant wait till my DFI gets here....im hoping will let me hit 2.9 =) Since my boards HTT seems to crap out at around 307.

What stepping is the Opty144? You may be at the CPU limit. You may also want to try a different divider. The 5:6 isn't so friendly to me. SOmething to do with the mem controller perhaps?

my opty is CAB2E 0540FPMW. This chip was at 3ghz on a Ultra-D, which is what it was ran at before me. I know its able to hit at least 2.8.

All reviews i read about this asus board, put its max FSB at 305-306.

Even if i dropped my multi to 5x and go to 307, i start getting HD errors.

Im going to get a NF4-D and mod it to ultra. Also going to try some BH5 in on my asus and see what i can get out of it. So far 2670, ram at 251 7-3-3-3 2T is the highest i can do on my rig in my sig....going to swap Asus for a DFI and test some BH5. See what i can come up with.

My opteron 144 @ watercooling 3300 mhz prime stable @ 1,525v set in bios :lol: but i hit brick wall @ 3350 and its not mobo... anyways what are top 3 highest freg, hitted with amd opteron 144, wr is 9x402 but 2 /3 ?

Lol, I have a teribly 144 :p I can't run 2700Mhz 1M with less than 1,75V
For a 1M run must i give him 1.75V :slapass:

But i have however a 3GHz SS :)

His stepping is : CAB2E 0548FPMW ( sounds not bad )
I hope this cpu burn out and get a better stepping :stick:

So far im at 2774..1mhz higher and i fail superpi half way through 32m run.
