new version of cpu z

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=48152 which shows up socket 939 and core name properly...

CPU-Z 1.31 - with my old Clawhammer s754, it shows 1.475v. 1.30 showed 1.550v. The actual is 1.65v.

If it's fixed, it's only for new stuff.

Found out that TRRD played major role in my opterons stability. I'm thinking that 2950mhz 1.67 BIOS set is possible. Memory is even more bounded to stability than any other cpu i had :p: Took me 2 hours to realise it was TRRD after I loosened timings to a level that would make TCCD cry. Also the Antec 430 TP I was using has a range of 3-3.2Vdimm while priming, so definitely nothing good. The OCZ is coming back to life it seems.

priming as we speak, this was a untweaked SP32M run with a low TRRD value :p:

http://xtremesystems.org/forums/atta...id=39530&stc=1

SP1M run, have not had time to run any further. 3100mhz at 1.67 bios set resultet in BSOD under SP1M. unoptimized run, however first ever with an AMD CPU over 3ghz and under 30s run.

CABNE 0540 APMW not looking as bad as on previous attempts - I know it has been said many times, however memory timings are 50% of the success.

More coming later, now its time to play with memory.

Eva - to get an effective burn in, you want higher volts but NOT higher temps! So it's good that your temps are under control - maintaining high volts + maintaining low temps = successful burn in. High temps increases resistance in circuitry!

guess why cpuburn in is so nice

So which is the core of the 146 CABYE 0540? Venus or San Diego?

Screen from the latest CPUZ shows Venus, latest CBID which is a little older than CPUZ shows San Diego.

Since when has it been called Venus core... anything new about this core? (Other than it overclocks higher than a stoner in a cannabis plantation).

Also are there any guys here with CABYE FPAW in the low batch numbers (0200 or thereabouts). I don't think a lot of these can hit 3Ghz as easily as the higher numbered FPAWs and FPMW/FPBW.

Cheers,

Suman

OCCT not good enough for you? Here's a little large prime:

Humm, :confused: just noticed that I must have used CG, as prime uses the bios and cpuz uses the real MHz. Oh well, prime was still running so cpuz wasn't added latter. Messed around so much I forgot what I did. :)

You are talking about overclockers.de online shop..
Be carefull with them... I told them to keep me 5 cpus, I ordered the cpus and they finally told me the cpu went out of stock, It was totally wrong since they transfered the 5 cpus to pretested category and they refused to sell me the cpus... why? To make more money on each cpu...
Very bad german shop.... I repeat : overclockers.de

dnottis sent it to me. I'll have to ask him where he got it from. I don't see it on the official website.

[Edit] I did find it on their forum, it's beta: CPUZ 1.31.0

On another note... I think I found stability finally.

http://www.madmikess.com/stuff/opter...-primepass.jpg

I think that people should consider what they are seeing as far as temps go. I think the sensor on the die is off. With 1.62v I was hitting mid 60's temps and my waterblock wasn't even getting warm. Any air cooled cooler that I have ever used would have been blazing at that temp. I set a -10C offset in MBM as it closer reflects the temps I was getting with my 3700 San Diego chip with the same voltage.

50Mhz more for OCCT doesn't come easy.
At 1.4V it passed OCCT at 3050MHz, for 3100MHz it needed 1.52V.

Gonna try for 3150MHz now. :)

@Zeus a very nice OC there :) is that a CABNE chip?

Would a 146 CABYE 540 PAW be better over a 144 CABNE 0540, apart from CPU multi?

Nice chip mate! :up:

I tried 3150MHz at 1.6V but couldn't get it to finish OCCT, our CPU's are pretty much the same as far as overclocking goes, mine's a CABNE 0530 APMW with heatspreader still on, what's yours?

Also, temperatures are about the same, can you do 3150MHz OCCT?

heya, randomly messing with ma memory which i had runnin at 207mhz on divider before... just tried to get it up a bit before i change mobo... see what loose timings, higher bandwith and freq VS tight timings at closer to 200 would do... as you can imagine, not much at all except give varied millisecond times in super pi and higher sandra bandwith

Guys quick question...

Which of these is faster for games and benching...

3Ghz (10*300) running 1:1 with TCCD @ 2.5-4-4-7...

or...

3Ghz running a divider (140mhz or whatever) for a total of around 230mhz HTT @ 2-2-2-5...

Is it the divider with tight timings?

Try them both out on spi and see. It's going to be close, can't run 2.5-4-3? That would be faster.

The divider doesn't matter, only timings.

My CABNE 0530APMW finally gets its chance to go under the Prommie after my 144 came up short because the DFI mobo won't give me more than 374HTT. Its off to a good start doing what my CABYE 0528GPMW couldn't do. 3.5ghz only 1M stable now but good enough to do some 3-D which makes it my champ. I'm thinking I'll keep this one. ;)

Im not sorry bumping this screen shot,

this has to be the best Opty ive seen so far, so much so tht im willing to sell my CABNE0530APMW (3.0Ghz prime95 stable over 9hrs) in search for a gem like this. Just waitin for my favourite retailer to get more stock in, (says he getting loads of Opty 146's on the 9th!) Ive already asked for them to look out for specific steppings for me.

In the process of deciding which are the most fail safe to look out for between

where can you get them ? i think 1st

are those steppings your retailer will get or just your humble wishes ? :fact:

This is a good CPU. ;) In a masters hands with better cooling, IHS off and some super ram who knows what it could do? Instead it'll be pressed into service with my weak 7800GTs for 3-D benchies. :D

I don't know. :confused: With my cooling and the IHS on, I'm not sure what the point would be in finding out. Maybe if I got a mousepot I'd give it a try.

They are my humble wishes :D, but seriously I will find out the steppings as soon as my firend has them in stock. I somehow have the feeling tht he will have some other unknown steppings

:clap: A little more tune up and you will be tearing after that #1 spot for
sli 7800gts. Think it will give just a little more to hit 3.6? That would be great for benchable single phase. Keep going with it, you adding value to its sister. :D

You need some killer ram to bring those times down.

Thats not going to happen without some crazy cooling scheme ... and maybe another pair of GTs. :(

Temps are becoming an issue, so while I might be able to do a suicide screenie at that speed, 1M stable seems to have ended up at 3.53ghz.

The one you're Ebaying? I'm not helping much apparently, $163 would put me in the top spot to buy it less than 2 days from now. Hopefully you get a decent price. I might end up throwing mine in the For Sale section to help my 7800GTX 512mb fund I've started. :p:
Edit: Whoops. I guess some other guys had some pre-set bids that were set off when I bid on your CPU. Its a little higher now. :rolleyes: Dang! You have a link to my screenshot in your Ebay auction. I should put a discalimer in there so they know my CPU has special mojo ... and a Prommie. ;)

i find the cabne 0540's average just like the cabge, struggle ounce at 2.7ghz.
the cab2e also seem abit hit or miss but would say itll clock better than cabne 0540 or cabge.

the 146 cabye 0540gpbw seems to being the best atm and im lucky enough to have one :banana: :banana:

Its ok i already have a 144 CAB2E which does 315x9 just wondered if the CABNE would go higher.

Guess i'll stick with my CAB2E then :)

What do you guys think of the Opteron memory controller?

Anything different than the San Diegos?

What would you pick? SD3700+, Opteron 144 or 146?

Boy, seeing those numbers makes me hope Major sells his phase too. :D

Just when I get into wc and think this is it, no more, you start throwing up big numbers. :slap:

When you think about how much a really good water cooling rig will cost you, then consider you can get into phase change for about $500-600 buying used, its easy to justify the expense. I told you I thought you were less than 2 months away from stepping up to phase, I might have been a little too conservative on my guess. ;) If you want to keep your cheap image think about a mousepot. :p:

The thing I dislike the most about phase cooling is that you have to grease up everything around the socket and in the socket, otherwise things corrode away in no time. :(

Hey,

Got really sick of my Asus board so I went and bought a DFI Ultra-D! Will it support my Opty out of the box? And what BIOS shall I use? Can I use the same version as the SLI-DR boards? Also can I transfer my RAID-0 array over from my Asus board?

Thanks,

Suman

Yes, every s939 board that works with a San Diego will work with an opty. Just make sure you get the latest BIOS.

And FYI, no board officially supports optys except the Tyan K8E.

Not to mention its a big messy PITA swapping out CPUs. Over time though your technique and speed improves and I believe some of the OC gods are so good at it they forego the non conductive grease.

ok in general, should i get a 146 or 148 for a small form factor pc? i know the 148 has a higher rated wattage but the rated default voltage is the same, 146 - Wattage 67.0W, 148 Wattage 85.3W. normally i would get the 148 but im worried about heat since the 148 has runs with higher watt. does the rated wattage of the 148 really increases above the 146 around 18W for that extra 200mhz? any suggestions?
11-07-2005, 01:37 PM
gbomb944

A 148 would probably be a better chip and would allow more clock at less voltage so in theory you'd get more perfomance with less heat by undervolting it. I believe a good oc chip would probably make a good undervolting chip too.

A higher x does not mean a better chip. Read up a couple post and you will see Gun's 146 is better then his 148. Steppings and chance make good cpu's.

That's what I was referring to, sff. My 144 will do 3000MHz at 1.4v, my 146 takes about 1.45v and the 148 that I sold took about 1.488v. This is all at the same MHz.

Between 2 chips of the same stpping a 148 should in general be better than a 146 but you are right it doesn't guarantee it. A 144 0528 cabne is much better than a 148 cabge but he asked a broad question and got a broad answer.

He actually was looking more to the lower rated chip since the higher one has a higher wattage but if you think about it you want more speed with less volts so you get a high performance to heat ratio. What he really needs is a 144 cabye 0540 to be very specific. In fact thats what we all could use I think.
