The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

Wrong 32m ss above. Here's the right one.

Times stink but it is stable at 3100@1.5v.

the core itself or the ihs? i've done it with my 3200+ clawhammer

---

Hmm, this does not look as a good job, I lapped the core, ihs is taken off. I had expierience with sanding before so mine looks much better, looks like a small mirror. Either you sanded too fast or used low-grit sand paper. 2000 grit is almost like a piece of paper and it should be sanded wet to minimize scratches.

definitly not reccommended

hehe, if done properly then its highly recommended ;) Sorry, don't have anything to take pics of it.

Nice WR were made but only Suicides. No one has shown me ever a Primescreen above 3200Mhz with watercooling.You can´t work with a CPU who is only Superpi or Screenstable. That´s all worthless. Want to see here Primescreens above 3Gig.

Well I have no probs doing that its just that I am under phase so my oc will be more than most water. I have already posted prime at 3.4ghz. I am getting some water setup this weekend and I'll throw my other opty in it and see what it does.

weird my Swiftech G4 Storm water cooling must be messed up as it's getting higher temps with the 1st 146 opteron i have which was cooler on Hydrocool 200

both rigs in same room with same cpu tested

3000mhz at 1.568v on Hydrocool
load temp = 47-50C

3000mhz at 1.568v on Swiftech G4 storm
load temp = 54-58C

I think for my G4s probably better for LGA775 like with my 3.4E@4.2ghz /DFI 875P-T with Cathar G4 storm (rig i'm typing from in same room as AMD64 rigs) - 29-31C idle and 39-44C load

so i installed my 2nd Hydrocool 200EX replacing G4 Storm and temps are back to lower ones http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?p=24196#post24196

http://www.fileshosts.com/watercooli...rocool_001.jpg http://www.fileshosts.com/watercooli...rocool_003.jpg http://www.fileshosts.com/watercooli...rocool_005.jpg http://www.fileshosts.com/watercooli...rocool_006.jpg

And yes it's doing better than my other Hydrocool rig and G4 Storm water cooling cpu now does OCCT @3000mhz at 1.552v instead of 1.568v on other Hydrocool rig. On G4 Storm needed 1.62v (yeah something is wrong there heh)

Not fair?? LOL

Obviously I've used better cooling than you, but also a worse stepping ;)

I've got mine at 2700 1.52 for now. I know it's not very impressive but I figured I'd post if for those of us not hitting 3ghz at 1.4v. This is on stock sink and it's prime stable for 7 minutes at least so it's fairly stable. I killed it cuz temps were getting to 48c. I'm sure it could probably run longer with better cooling but I don't want temps too high.

The first night I got it I put it on occt at like 2770 and went to bed. After 30min it put up the success screen but continued testing all night. When I woke up it had been running at 50c all night. It's a tribute to the chip that it came through ok but I don't want to get up to 50 anymore.

Toki could you give some details on your tec? Whats the rating and how you power it etc?

Wow... ALL of the 146s in the UK atm are CABYE 0540...they're springing up left, right and centre! :toast:

I should get the CAb2E'S this morning/afternoon too... can't wait to see what the puppies can do. :fact:

CAB2E 0540 FPMW , someone tested it in 144 ?

No-one has yet from what I can tell...

Go for 3ghz you wimp. :D

aggg, I have a CAB2E on the way, can not decide if I should order a CABYE 0540 as well just to be sure!! I could add it to my ocuk order, tho I think it has been packed now :(

Yup it has been packed so will have to be happy with what ever the CAB2E will do :( fingers crossed they are as good as they are hyped to be..

Hurry up with the results damn it! Not getting any work done at present!

Doing quite nicely too (0540FPBW).
Just passed Super Pi 8mb at 3.00GHz (300x10) with 1.45v (in CPU-Z - 1.50V in BIOS) with a shoddy mount & generic thermal goo/paté (on 'non-extreme' water; high flow DDC, G4, BIP III, 1200RPM Papsts + DFI NF4 Ultra-D)


Edit - 32mb pass with slight voltage bump to 1.525 (BIOS - 1.488 in CPU-Z).

Just recieved my 146 from scan I ordered yesterday, and it's also a cabye.

Doing 3.1Ghz at 1.6v so far on water. That'll do nicely :D

Now I've got 2 of the 148 cabye variety to sell and one of the 144 cabne also going spare. Time to make some cash back after a week of buying.

That a FPAW, FPBW or FPMW, Nick?

bah, looks like I should have held on for cabye rather than buying a CAB2E on impulse :(

My CAB2E 0540 FPMW just arrived. Results shortly...

Not had time to fully test yet, it's doing 1M super pi so far. So got get back to work now tho, only came home to check the stepping :) Then ended up installing it to test.

ok guys, have my 146 cab2e today, and have a slight problem

during bootup the cpu detects as 146 operton, but runs at 200x9 - 1800mhz

im using hellfires latest bios. (in bios the maximum multiplier i can select is 9)

any ideas?

Sounds like someone is telling porkies to me? The only cab2e chips available so far we've seen are the 144's, all current 146's are coming cabye. And if it's booting with a 9x multiplier then it would seem it's a 144. You checked on the chip itself, or have a pic before you installed it?

Nick

sorry im loosing it. its a CABYE 0540FPBW

Hehe!

What you got set for the cpu multiplier then in the bios?

Nick

i saw that edit ;) "cup" lol

If the highest multiplier in bios is a 9, you got a 144. Did it say 146 on IHS? Try the DFI 623 bios.

yes it does :S

Where do you buy your CAB2E processors? Is it only CPUCITY who has em' ?

nope, they are from cpu city. Mine is on the way.

I have to say i'm wishing that I had a 146 CABYE looking at the results others are getting with them..
Just crossing my fingers that the CAB2E is as good or nearly. Knowing my luck it will be poor tho.

cab2es are at cpucity

Any UK guys got a 146 from Scan yet? Sorry if it's already been posted, cba to read through 88 pages :p

Suman

Interesting... a guy on OCUK received his 146 and it also defaults to a 9x multi (1800mhz) and will not let him select 10x...

Yeah I saw that, he still got a sweet overclock though :D probably just a BIOS issue?

Suman

Straight in at 300x9 1.35v was perfectly stable, I'm currently trying to work through some issues with my Neo2 not handling the high HTTs before I go much higher than that. Had a POST at 333x9 (3GHz w00t!) but it crashed at DMI. This is all with a TDX running off a single BIX, Neo2 and GSkill LE.

I also appear to have lost my 1T/2T setting in BIOS, I'm on 1.37b so it should be unhidden but it isn't...just gonna go try the shift-F2 alt-F3 wizardry (it'd been so long I forgot how) and see if it's disappeared off to there, but TBH I'm a bit confused on that one. Where'd it go?

Is that immediately before Windows loads? You're running XP SP2 right?

In which case, TRY this:

Change the following in boot.ini

/noexecute=optin

to this

/execute

That will turn off DEP, which caused all sorts of problems with high HTT on my Venice 3000 and DFI Ultra D. For some people, it lifts a magic brick wall, for others it does nothing. Worth a try...

Jimbo, can I quickly ask what DEP is?

Quote:

Originally Posted by Brocon

Dynamic Execution Prevention. It's some sort of additional virus-protection in the OS.

Is part of SP2, but can be turned off. It cannot be disabled in Windows x64.

I think it was a guy called Sharp from DFI forums that pinpointed it after I tried 2k, XP, XP SP1, XP SP2 and XP SP2 safe mode.

XP SP2 was the ONLY one where I couldn't get over 2.5 Ghz. In all the others, I could boot into Windows @ 2.9 Ghz. It would just lock before loading Windows when DEP was enabled.

Weird.

Jimbo can you not just turn off DEP from the System Properties window or does that not have the same effect?

Cheers,

Suman

No, it's immediately before UBCD loads, and I'm running Win2k. Good info though, one to watch out for ;)

More info on the 1T/2T thing...it's actually just :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing vanished. 1.37b does indeed have the "secret" options enabled as default, so hitting the combo just turns off half the options. Grr. Anyone got any ideas?

Not the same.

You'll also notice if you do the boot.ini switch, the DEP stuff is TOTALLY greyed out in Windows.

If it has no effect, you can always change the switch back again, it's not a reinstall or anything. I leave it off all the time on my gaming rig now. It's just another variable for me I'd rather eliminate straight off the bat.

Damn, OK. Good choice of OS for CPU overclocking though. I prefer it to XP in that respect, although I find XP better for gaming and benching '03 and '05.

I use 2k for initially clocking up the CPU and for benching '01.

Ghost is GREAT for this sort of thing - 5 mins and I'm booting another clean OS.

hey man, posted in your thread. you need a newer bios for real. we wanna see cab2e results!

I ordered a new 146 from computersmsa for 144€ :D
My last 146 was a 0536VPAW and sold it without testing :)

Lets hope I hit the jackpot now after 2 VPAW's.

Order a 146 form OCUK... they ship to Belgium and have the CABYE 0540's in currrently. :)

they are sold out Rich! (have been for a couple of hrs..)

1-3 days lead time though. What abouit Komplett? They are also apparently CABYE's. :)

nice :) OcUK's 1-3 days is not always reliable +no way to know what the next batch they get will be..

Which stepping from this site is OK?

http://www.trend4pc.de/media/products/AMD_Stepping.htm

Opteron 144 Socket 939 Boxed CAB2E 0540 FPMW

Or more expensive but...

Opteron 148 Socket 939 Boxed CABYE 0536 GPMW

Komplett have a "mixed batch" (clicky) afaik...

Is the second one a good one?...Have searched for some info about this stepping but not found much...I`m in more 148 interesting because of the 11X ratio... :rolleyes:

Regards,

I guess 144 and 146 have 0540 now and 148 will come later.

Are all new 146 CABYE 0540 FPxx???

I ordered 2x 146 opterons today by komplett

They're here! Installing... :D

Will post results very soon...

fuj primoz78 :D

Has anybody here got a opteron 146 from alternate the recent days? I orderded one yesterday and I'm wondering which stepping it has. I will post results when he arrives.

richdog: how much did you payed, do they have good steppings ? any url of site please ;)

Tomorow i 'll have an 146 CABYE 0540 FPBW.

someone got result ?

Hi all!

I just thaught I could help some people looking for s939 Opterons. There's a german store, http://www.overclockers.de, that has quite a few opterons in stock. The steppings of the 146:s and 148:s, in stock are:

148 boxed
cabye 0536 gpmw

148 tray
cabye 0535 xpmw

146 boxed
cabye 0540 fpbw

146 tray
cabge 0536 vpmw

I really hope this help someone.... :toast:

read http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=1594

nearly all 146 CABYE 0540FPBW are hitting 3ghz at either low 1.42v vcore or 1.536-1.584v vcore

low vcore 3ghz ones don't seem to scale well with vcore past 3ghz, while the higher vcore 3ghz ones seem to scale a bit better

but all depends on cooling too!

both my 146 CABYE 0540FPBW are the 3ghz at 1.536v and 1.552v kind of cpus

i would agree. my 146 that hits 2.9ghz with 1.425v needs ~1.55v to almost stabilize at 3ghz

A shop here in Hong kong has 2 Opterons.
1. 144 CABNE
2. 146 CABYE
I don't know their manufactured date, but is it worth getting over my 4400+ X2?
Or should I just want for the dual core opteron?

Otherwise go for 144, in the worst case you get a few more things to play with.

My problems seem to be rooted to the fact that *something* in my system isn't a big fan of the 9x multiplier: 8x275 2.5-3-3 1T is fine, 9x275 BSODs, but 8x320 (166 divider) is fine...gah. Being limited to 8x is going to limit my overclock majorly. Suggestions?

Kameleon what clocks are you getting at what voltages?

Try a different bios.

Have you tried using a high HTT with a 9x multi but a really low (or high depending on how you look at it) divider on the memory, so it's running down in the 200 Mhz region?

Good point, all you guys struggling should be using a tall memory divider, at least 150 or even 133 to completely rule out the memory for now. Also, don't forget to lower the HTT multi to 3 too. I don't like anything auto, I don't trust it. :nono:

Not thoroughly (had a brief go with 133 divider inamongst everything else), I'll have to give it a go. If that has no effect I'll move from the 1.3b6 1T BIOS to the 1.8 1T BIOS (I was on trats 1.37 before and that gave me the same problems). LDT has been on 3x throughout, I'm a bit wary of dropping it to 2.5x or 2x, is either one more advisable than the other?

I've not gone above 2700, on stock volts - the board has been holding me back way before that, and much over 300HTT and it also dies at the moment. Can't really find out how the CPU does until I solve the other problems, but let's just say that it's not my bottleneck. I wish I'd got one of the 146s now, despite the supposedly better memory controller on the CAB2E, it's not doing me much good. I'd rather have 10x. Might be having to go PCI-E and get a new board...
