just a quick question
Does burning in really do anything ?
Is there anything else that can be done in the bios to stablise the CPU overclock rather than just keep banging up the voltage ?
I'm not refering to any memory overclock at this stage.
Would any adjustment to Read Preamble value or Max Async Latency have any effect ?
I've already increased chipset voltage.
Thanks
Graham
right now at 1.45V in bios....1.408V in cpu-z 2.7ghz

I have a really weak core0, so i've been working on it.
I'm not sure what you are asking but I have aircooling.Quote:

Check out my 170 0546XPMW, same as eva's post #2277Quote:

K.I.T.T.: I did superpi and it passes with .5 less volts. Prime 95 would not run for a minute at this voltage so I didn't think it was fair to put in the oc database. If I ran prime95 how long would I need to run prime to be considered stable?
cdelatte, what's the amb temp?
nice clocks!
If by amb you mean the temp of my house ~74FQuote:

I think it may have something to do with it being a server processor. I'm gonna sell these if I can't get them stable and buy a 2gig kit!

I agree, that's why in my sig 2.9 is for benchmarking. I'm planning on running 2.7ghz everyday with 1.3vQuote:

If u have the option to return it to the shop, good on you, i dont know many shops who will take back an overclocked processor, just because it dont do 2.8ghz on stock volts, LMAO.
Great CPUQuote:

Ive noticed a trend with the CCBWE05550UPMW chips tht arnt particularly good, they all seem to have a weaker core0, mine is the same, core1 seems to be a beast, core0 needs beefing up. Burning in seems to be helping, 2.8Ghz may be stabalised on core0.
Alot of peeps need to realise tht overclocking is NOT guaranteed! Its trial and error and alot of luck + having all teh right components in place, even so called superior steppings have weaker chips, if your unlucky enough to get one of those, then tough luck. Just sell it and try again.

hi brothers!
trying my opty165 @ 2.9GHz default voltage
what does a direct system hang without error in Dual SP2004 mean?? (after running several hrs)
Thanks, nice to be here :)Quote:

I did also say that I did set my mind to 2.7GHz on 1.4volts so I could match my sticks on 1:1 ...and if that didnt happened, I send it back.

2.6 on stock volts
2.7 on 1.4 volts
2.8 on 1.5 volts
2.85 max
and one that we would want would be something better than just good, it would be very good. Very good is
2.75 on stock volts, 2.85 on 1.45 volts, 2.95 with 1.55 volts, 3 Ghz benching
CCB1E 0550 VPMW
Stock volts.....dunno (started at 2.7 GHz...)
1.37v : 2.7 GHz
1.42v : 2.8 GHz
not really tried more. Dual prime stable for 8 hours.
ahhhh, i ordered my chip monday night and it still hasn't shipped, yet i check this thread like 5 times a day, haha, making me even more anxious!
1.37v: 2.7 ghz
that's awesome K.I.T.T.
Stock Volts 2,85Gig DualPrime Stable.
1,328Volts for 2,9Gig
1,36V for the 3 Gig Benchable
1,392V for 3 Gig Primestable.
Better would be 3 Gig on Stockvolts DualPrimestable.
I had a 165 (was supposed to be Absolute_0 chip :( ) @ 2.75ghz 1.37v dual prime... too bad I broke a pin when I removed it from my pc
update for you all:

and here:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=72584
still priming will post those pics later....found out what was holding me back...thought at 1st PSU...so bought a new one with 3 x 12V rails etc....still no go....set memory to 166 and rest of settings to auto....BAM....2.9.....but not very stable....so knocked it back to 2.8 for now....upped chipset to 1.6V
and LDT to 1.3V and running silky smooth!

Still tweaking, so hopefully more updates to come.
Whoa, that's a huge discrepancy from the voltage your mobo software reads and cpu-z. Either way, it's still very nice- What step?
Yeah, its because of the ASUS motherboard (A8N32). I've found that the correct way to read the CPU-Z read out is to add .2V since my base voltage is 1.275 with the overvolt option enabled (therefore 1.275 + .2). By the way, does anyone else have the 2x1Gb Mushkin Redline XP4000? I need help with some of the RAM tweaking. The stepping on the CPU is:Quote:

i would say he is using an asus a8n32-sli board. cpuz does not reflect the overvolt option when enabled. hence the discrepancyQuote:

I ran Superpi, but 12 hours of prime? thats to long lol :P
Ok, managed to get a bit further with slightly more vcore :) Do note that I'm not even using the dualcore heatpipe stock cooler, merely the crappy non-heatpipe version. Although I do have an 80mm focused Delta running at 7v on it...

I have an Opteron 170 0550 UPMW on order.
By the way, www.max2.net here in Canada has them in stock.
The question is, is it worth passing it up and trying to get a 0550 VPMW or should I just be happy with this one and chill out?
What was strange was that Monarch was having this week in late December where a lot of people where getting 0530. There was a thread on here not long ago about the Opty 170 and everyone that ordered around 12/20-12/30 recieved 0530 from Monarch. I ordered mine on 12/21.Quote:

But on air I should have gotten a decent chip it feels like :)
Are you kinding me..your cpu temps are great on air....damn the 170 0550 upmw is clearly not as good as these 170 0550 vpmw...so many more excellent results with low vcoresQuote:

Nealth, referring to this post i´ve changed from a 0546XPMW (max stable 2,8ghz 1,52v) to this 0550VPMW. You can see the difference ;)
I see a lot of people here claiming Super Pi as some sort of stability. Lets see some dual instances of prime and see what happens. i can dual super Pi my 170 at 2.9ghz+, but only prime at 2.82Ghz.
big difference between superpi and prime.
good point!
yes prime 95. And minimum 12 hours. I have tried running 280 and have had prime95 blend torture test running 10 hours once before crashing 8 hours another time...
But it just don´t seem possible without changing some RAM settings or anything in a way Idon´t know lol.

As dogsx2 says, for me spi stable & gaming is enough stability for the use i give to my computer.
That doesn´t mean that i can show you guys a shot of prime/sp2004 to show stability but i´m going to left it until i get my new wc (& found some time to pass those stability benches).
Most people here know that spi 1m is not as stable as 32m and 32m is not as stable as prime.Quote:
