It did with mine. 150 mhz extra OC with 0.125 less vcore:)
The original 170 CCBBE I ordered June 9th, processed June 12th, & said to have shipped the morning of June 14th has yet to arrive. The overnight replacement I was sent June 20th & arrived yesterday but was a CCBWE 0546MPM. I've not heard of a stepping having only 3 letters and not 4, but I immediately contacted them and requested a refund. I received a reply via email about an hour or so later asking me to call and giving me an extension #. Was told they were out of the ccbbe stpping for 170's but have found two more and should be here Thursday and they will overnight it to me as soon as they get it. Said I will receive Friday or Saturday because cut off is @ 2 p.m. for overnighting.
Now silly me bought a 165 from them Wednesday & requested the CCBBE stepping. I also requested overnight shipping for additional cost. We it arrived today no problem CCBBE 0617FPMW. Total cost with overnight shipping $275 + $15.00 shipping. So there is still hope with these guys if you request overnight shipping. Happy with 165, 170 still working on.
I got my CCBBE 0617FPMW as well from Dave (thanks)
Did about 2.9@1.4v. Not bad.. Also got my new 144 from monarch (cab1e 0614bpmw) that I'm gonna use until Conroe comes out.. so far, 3GHz@1.425
they probably can't deliver it because it doesn't exist.Quote:

So basically, you got a CCBBE 165 0617 for $290, and you should be getting a 170 soon?Quote:

Yes, not too bad for the 165 huh?:stick:Quote:

Are you sure you didn't change anything else but the sticks? I mean, vdimm or vldt. Or the 2x80mm fan positions. Because it's strange, it's the first time I hear something like that.Quote:

Have you tried putting the sticks back into the original slots?
Did you knock you water block when you removed chips (bad mount)?
Checked lines for kinks?
Which temp are you referring to, Bios or windows?
little update on my 0610 dpmw:
started priming on 3.0 @ 1.568v. Currently already at 1.475v stable. Ofcours this also has to do with ambient temps (weather is cool here), but burning in also seems to help. i never thought temps make that much of a difference.
What are your ideas on this?
^^ The first vcore is a bit higher, as if I'm not wrong, 1.568v is in CPU-Z. That's got to be 1.4v x 110% or 113%. But 1.475v is pretty good. Is that CPU-Z or BIOS (we should make an standard about this...).
And yes, with CCBBEs and CCB1Es temps is everything. Just 0,5c variation can make you fail prime.
I've got a 165 CCBWE 0551WPMW yesterday, so far it does 2.6 at 1.375V with AMD's stock kewler... didn't try higher yet, but I did have a few questions, hopefully someone can help me out...
1) Is it okay to run half-multis with this chip (and/or the K8 in general)? I'm a little blurry on that issue...
2) Should there be a noticeable performance hit from running the memory at 1/2 (400mhz/2 in my case)?
3) How in the world can its' TDP be 35W? :hm: Is it per-core?

Thanks in advance :)
1) About half-multis, you can use them but it ends in the ram running slower. You can use this calculator to get the real ram speed:Quote:

2) Memory speed/timings in A64 is a factor when you're benching, but if you're gaming you can ignore it. Unless you get RAM that do 260 2-2-2-5 1T, the benefits from 200 to 220 at lets say 2.5-3-3-8 are a 3-4% at best.
3) Wow, there must be an error because 35W is very low. And it's per-chip. Almost all the 165/X2 have 89W :confused:
BTW with that stepping, check first post of this thread, but IIRC you can get around 2.7ghz with 1.55v (roughly). With stock vcore, I would say 2.5-2.55ghz.
Hope it helps ;)
Thanks for the reply, that cleared some things for me :)
The memory speed calculator that you posted a link to doesn't seem to have half-multis unfortunately, but doesn't CPU-Z show a correct memory speed (in mhz)? Because I remember that with my Venice on the Neo2 (NF3) it showed 200.0mhz when it was running at 300x8 and 192.0mhz when running at 300x9...
And a small edit: in my previous post it was running at 2.6ghz at 1.375V overnight dual-Prime stable, right now it passed almost 7 hrs of per-core-prime at 2.4g 1.3V :banana:
Edit: Another question: Is the 165's LDT 800mhz or 1000mhz? I'm not quite sure about that one...
keep it below 1000, some people have got better overclocks with the LDT multiplier at 3x.

sheesh, i seriously dont get how ur temps are so good.... i have a TTBT and my temps at the same volts hit 50-51CQuote:

Thanks for the feedback guys guess I'll just chalk it up as another mysterious DFI board thing.
Hi guys,
I ordered an Opteron 165 today, I had the choice from the following batch:
1434904C60590
143483AC60051
143483AC60242
I took the 904. That's a good choice right?
By the way, they all are: CCBBE 0610 DPMW.
Did I make the right choice? ;)
i don't know why people argue this, there have been countless threads about how DFI boards read 10c lower. especially when your temps are about 10c lower than everyone elses, and you somehow beleive you have this magic chip that runs super cool.Quote:

My chip runs cool with ~1.35volts yes, when i run my chip with ~1.45v or higher I reach ~50c easy.
Before this chip i had an 3800X2 and a Msi k8n neo2. Then i swiched the neo2 with an Ultra-d. Temps readings where the same on both boards ( maby ~1-2 difference ). So i know 100% sure these temps are correct.
Or maby do you think my temp sensor, the Msi neo2 and my ultra-d all read temps 10c wrong ;) ?
43c full load with a 0610 on a Z9500? haha. your ambient must be about 18c?
just installed my w/cing
this is a CCB1E 0609 from newegg
I have same chip(CCBBE 0610/thanks Dave) and cooler(Zalman 9500) on my Gruper which has a dedicated cpu temp chip not a multi sensor chip like DFI or others. This chip is the LM90 which is highly accurate. I can't speak for his DFI temps but with a ambient of 26-27c my cpu is 41c dual prime load. The Zalman cooler really works well for air.Quote:

Never had a BT so I can't do a comparison. I can only give you my experience. If you say I am 5-10c lower than a BT I would have to argue that the Zalman does work as well as a BT.Quote:

I hope that with the new dfi board coming next week i'll be able to reach at least 2.8 with vcore default..
I got my CCBBE 0617 and right now im sitting at 2.9GHz @ 1.41v im going to try for 3GHz this upcoming weekend.
what was your max stable default vcore. Mine failed prime after 7 hours @2835 mhz 315HTT(Trying 2826mhz now 314HHT). I like to find my max oc @ default vcore first, then max oc, then best oc with low temps (sweet spot). I'm thinking the sweet spot is going to be around 2900-2975 @1.4-1.45vcore.Quote:

So far I'm past 5 hours prime @1.39vcore 2907mhz. It failed @ 1.376vcore after 1hr 23min. My top speed default vcore ended up 2826mhz @1.31vcore 12hrs prime stable.
I'm still waiting on my CCBBE 170 I was assured it was overnighted today and I should have it tomorrow. Gonna sell this 165 CCBBE 0617 so I probably won't push it any further. Pretty sure it will hit 3ghz though since its doing 2.9ghz with less than 1.4vcore 43'c. I'll post screen shots after 12hrs.
Wow nice OCs. I just got a 165 CCB1E 06. Is the CCBBE better ? Im gonna be using stock HSF and AS5 for now.. any idea how hot it might get around 2.6 ?
Here's a 12 hour + screen shot @ 2906 mhz 1.4vcore + 104% in bios:banana: :banana: :banana:

My 165 CCB1E 0608 MPMW can do 2.9ghz at 1.4vcore, but its heat limited even with the IHS off. 47c at load w/IHS off is kinda high on air though. My watercooling is not setup yet. Might go waaaay higher with water. I might just sell it and wait for something else though.
Hey guys i got a problem I get both cores stable on 2.75ghz but when i move to 2.8ghz one core runs perfect while the other one dies after 2 min of prime. What could be causing it? and what should i do?
One core always fails before the other when overclocking. Typically thats a sign of needing more volts or it doesn't like the temp its priming at. One thing I did notice, I was orginally testing this chip while using an antec neo 550HE and it would fail prime after 20min or so @ 2.9ghz 1.4vcore. My 12v rail was @ 11.64v. I switched back to the OCZ powerstream which usually stays between 12.22v & 12.28v and was able to complete over 12hours. What are your 12v rails idling @?Quote:

I have it @1.45vcore 2952 mhz but the temp is just under 50'c so I might be reaching its limit soon. I'll probably forgoe finding the voltage needed for 3ghz and switch then. Sorry but it will be at least tomorrow night before I complete the max oc default volts prime test on the 170 CCBBEQuote:

Well I went to sleep while it was priming at 2.8 gonna try getting it stable at 2.9, this is a CCB1E 0609FPMW.
I finally got 2.9ghz decently stable but its running at 59C should I be worried?
What voltage are you using? Define stable, how may hours of prime? If thats with just a couple hours I would say thats too high a temp that I'd be comfortable with. I don't like 12 hour prime temps above 55'c if I'm gonna run my cpu @ thats speed daily. The CCB1E steppings run warmer than CCBBE's. Especially on air. I keep my CCB1E @ 2.8ghz 1.4vcore. Seemed to be the sweet spot cpu speed:volts:temp ratio. Anything over 2.8ghz just wasn't worth it for me volt/temp wise. Is this a testbed overclock? Most people that are reporting these amazing clocks don't have their motherboard/cpus in the case. If you don't, its definitely too high a temp, because its only gonna rise once everythings installed in the case.Quote:

currently priming 2970mhz @ 1.475vcore:toast:
Thx 4 the info Nemesis!:)
I did some more prime and 2.9 wasn't as stable as i thought :(
I think the problem has to do with the mobo cuz the heat pipe is like 50C.
Maybe I set something wrong.
Also the 12v ATX is only doing 11.97v
anyone have a 165 CCBBE 0615EPMW? I've seen many results with DPMW but not the EPMW (other than the few in the initial posting). I am thinking of selling my current opty that does 2.7ghz at stock voltage but runs very hot (55c with big typhoon). I am hoping the CCBBE will run cooler - thanks for any help.
Me too !!!!Quote:

Nemesis, test the 170, we want it ;-)
my G/F's 24/7 machine :P finished with it i think, can push it to 2.86 but it needed 1.58v... and it gets toasty. I'm in the meddle of winter so i'd have to wind it back come summer, which would be painful..
ram can do more, but dont know where to start: nemesis, any ideas for tighter timings on the rdx?
Nemesis: Bring it! bring it now! :P :slapass:
What mobo are you on? You can use the A64 Tweaker to do tests in Window to get best timing for each setting, and set it in BIOS )the last before a crash :D)
Two related questions, though:
- Can anyone tell me what the best settings would be for non-T settings (the right side of A64Tweaker)?
- Why no BIOS supports Cycle time (Tras) delay < 5 when some RAMs support even 3?

Correct, some would work in Windows but aren't stable. If you really want to tweak it (let's say you want to tweak Tras):
- Set to 7 - do any mem test in Windows for a short time (like Prime95 torture test)
- Set to 6 - same
- Set to 5 - etc
When it crashes, go back one value - set that in BIOS, and run memtest from CD.
For any timing, I know lower is better - but I am not sure for the other values which is better (such as 2 or 8 Beats, 16 or 256 cycle time etc) - if anyone knows for each/has a link, I'd appreciate it.
I gave up on latencies, as I need memory bandwidth rather than latencies, but the above is how I minimized latencies (did 2-5-2-3,1-7-10-1 )all lowest except 10T (I don't recall what that one is called ... @ 200 MHz).

Hey guys i have a slight problem. Well I managed to drop the overall temp in my box to 33C and CPU to 51C on load. Those seem like good temps but i'm still failing prime @ 2.9ghz 1.52V. Is adding voltage the only thing i can do? The one core seems to fail prime even when i'm only priming 1 core and the temps are at 45C. Also how much does your voltage usually jump by? Mine seems to jump by 0.016+- is this normal?
Perhaps one of you more experienced overclockers can help me out; I have a 165 CCBBE 0617 (thanks Dave) and it has the weirdest scaling with speed/voltage. I can get 9x313 prime stable for 12+ hours at stock vcore (1.392 in CPU-Z), but I cannot get any higher than 9x325 at 1.584 V (CPU-z). I'm inclined to blame this mobo (A8N32-SLI) since it has wildly varying voltages. To get 1.584 V under load, I have to set 1.625 in BIOS. Then in windows, it idles at 1.648 V and load is 1.584 V? Thats a 0.064 V drop. Is this normal? Note that at stock vcore, volts dont drop nearly as much. My power supply is PC P&C 510, which should not cause any problems.
Temps are all within reason, 50 C max under load at highest vcore (I have watercooling on the cpu only and a cool room, ~22 C ambient). Other setup/settings:
RAM: OCZ Gold PC3200 2x512 Memory divider 100
Video Card: PNY 7600 GS (just for testing since it doesnt use too much power)
Dual Raptor 74 GB Drives (not RAID 0, which i have yet to work out on this board)
Watercooling is Swiftech H20-220
TT Armor Case
Any suggestions on either whats going on or how to get a higher stable clock?
@WhoDunIt, i can almost guarantee its either a LDT limitation, or a odmc/RAM compatability issue.
hey ty, as far as i know any of the 1434904C60XXX's are best... but i dont own a 904, so maybe search through the thread for someone who has one and ask them for thier results(if its not in thier sig :PQuote:

I have my Opty 165 CCB1E 0609FPMW at 2.85GHz (317x9) @ 1.475 stable - 2 instances of Prime 95 for 24 hours. Motherboard is DFI SLi-D on the 623 official BIOS. Temps are a little high. Swiftech Apex Ultra WC kit with a 7800GT inline after the CPU. Both cores loaded it is about 52*C, one core loaded, about 42*C. PWMIC temps are high too, both cores loaded, it's in the 72*C range. HOT.
I'm having a problem going much higher too. I can get it to run Prime95 for a couple hours at 3GHz (334x9), but that is 1.6x vCore and running insanely hot, probably 60*C, if not a tad more. This setup is fully enclosed in a case though and is not a bench computer... just a regular desktop and gaming machine. Hence I sacrificed some MHz for voltage and temp. I will probably try to get a couple more MHz with the 704 bios, but truthfully I'm a little sick of messing with my computer and not using the darn thing.
If I were you, (if you don't have it already) would go and get a NV Silencer 5 Rev.3. That will help a lot to lower your GPU, PWMIC and in-case temps. When I changed from a 7800GT to a X1900XTX stock cooler, PWMIC went around 10-12c down, all that with a much hotter card :eek:Quote:

I also had to lower the mem divider, to keep vdimm for my BH-5 at around 3.1v. That also helped to PWMIC temps.
And... I would try lower vcore, 1.6v seems a lot for a CCB1E0609FPMW. 1.4v x 110/113% maybe?
Don't know too much about WC, but those temps seems really high. What ambient temps do you have? Maybe a remount of the CPU block?
Hope it helps :)
