Its the best up today! No Core is better thän the VPMW even the FX Core isn´t better! Only more expensive.
God damit it, u European guys are up early, seems like i missed the boat
:p:
Oh well, the search continues......
Clint there must be some VPMWs in Sweden too.
Look around and you will find them at Overclockers.
http://www.overclockers.se/
I just looked but there is not 170 there, although they do have FX-57 0530APMW :slobber:Quote:

And you can look in Norway and Finland. Not far away from Sweden.
Just neighbours!!! Sweden is not smaller than Germany!
Seller just mailed confirmation and was impressed by the response he got from us here, he will have another shipment of 170's next week.Quote:

Depending on how that one does I will maybe try one of the 0551's next.
I just put my 146 up on eBay, need all the fund I can get!
Is this an American forum or what? everone seems to be from the UK or Germany! :p:
[edit] why are people asking to PM seller info? can't you just type it here in the forum or is that not allowed (like overclockers.co.uk!)
Hehe, well...sometimes it's better to be European..cruising a few hours before those US boys and a early wake up call made me a decent (I hope) stepping owner ;)Quote:

Very nice overclocks guys?
Anyone managed to do a *Quad* Prime session yet? thats two primes on each core?
I'm doing dual priming on a mono-core Opteron, so if you wanna check that your rig is *uber* stable give it a whirl.

These 0550VPMW-s are amazing, just got one.:) Does 2,8ghz 1,375v with watercooling but can´t get 3ghz. I can bench 3ghz 1,475v but prime instantly fails, even with 1,625v, seems to get too hot.:confused:

Prime stable at 300x9@1.45v as well, will try higher later on, for now I have to sort out the temp first, 48C under BT, as soon as I see 52C, Prime failed :S

So unless I have the window open when it is cold out, i am limited to about 1.52vcore with this cpu on air.
However, cool it down with some -5C air, and it is flying

my result until now with an Opteron 170 0550VPMW..but I have only aircooling. That's why I don't keep it...maybe a X2 3800+ later.

Here are the parts I have assembled for my new build so far:
Opti 165 CCB1E 0550VPMW retail
Opti 170 CCB1E 0550VPMW retail
DFI LanParty Ultra-D motherboard
Zalman CNPS9500 LED air cooler
OCZ 520W Power Supply
G.Skill F1-4800 (2x512mb) RAM
Do you guys think this stuff will work together well?? Do you have any suggestions at all for a first time builder/overclocker? Also, I still have to buy a video card.
I bought two processors because after looking around I saw that everyone was having crazy results with these steppings and I came across two together so I jumped on them. I will probably try the 170 first, but what do you guys think will be better the 165 or 170?
thank you!
First of all, welcome to XS! :toast:Quote:

You better sell me whichever one u don't want, hahaha, anyway, nice start for a system build, only way to tell is to try them out and tell us. if u can run 2.8 gigs on 1.4 vcore, your doing damn good, like me, heh.
That is most likely not true actually...there are a couple of bad steppings that are seen in more than one model, but as an rule it doesn't applyQuote:

..hmm, I'm thinking of that multiplier...so if it is speed binning due to lower grade silicon...do they "open" that CPU again and then set the multiplier regarding to the model they are binning it to?Quote:

AFAIK anyway.
Aha..so they actually set the multiplier that late in the manufacturing process?Quote:

Then AMD overclocks all their chips heh. I don't see any Opteron failing at 1800/2000 even 2400 :D
@Clint: the reseller rejected my chip without a word. This is the last time I buy from them, so our little trade is over sorry :(
=(, I cancelled the order on my opteron170, it was taking too long...and I came back to my senses that I needed that money to buy food, lol.
If only they shipped it within 1.5weeks, then I wouldn't have had time to come back to my senses!...blast...slow shipping from monarch!
You only sent it back because you could'nt get it to clock as high as you would have liked, is that correct :rolleyes:Quote:

Funny, I ordered from Monarch over the weekend. They shipped yesterday and it's already 30 minutes away, delivery tomorrow!

My vpmw likes less voltage every day :toast:
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/4879/3ghz12h0nt.th.jpg
This is the first chip that is folowing the rules of burning-in :D. At start the minimal voltage for 3GHz was 1.52V - now only 1.46V :woot:
Does anyone know how high HTT will an A8N32-SLI go? (in average, of course) I'm torn between A8N32-SLI and DFI Expert, and I need to get a board by the end of the week, which means I should order this morning (umm... like in 6 hours) so that I can do 2-day shipping by Friday.
What matters is OC-ability, and the OC-ability ONLY. :D I'm not interested in feature set or anything. Just better OC'ing and high HTT (my 165 needs more than 333 HTT). Since I'm on air, both boards supply sufficient Vcore, I guess. I've read A8N32 supports up to 1.6V for dual-core CPUs, which is more than enough for air-cooling. (or even water, probably)
If A8N32 can do 350+ HTT comfortably, I will probably go for it, since I like the 8-phase power and low noise. I've also heard with same vcore A8N32 will allow higher (albeit tiny) OC. It's also less picky on RAMs, etc.
But all the goods are no good if it can't guarantee 330+ HTT. In that case, I will go with the Expert.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@lopri
i tested mine to do 400htt - no problem wahtsoever .. and yes, max vcore for dual optys is 1.6, but i wouldn't go with mine over 1.55V ..
Thanks I was wondering just how much voltage to put through my opty during testing ;)Quote:

1. You have a 180 (9/10th divider) - USE IT! to get 10x multi :D
Start @ 10x275, get that working, then march up however far you can.
Only way to w/ deal temps - 'OFF WITH IT'S HEAD' etc. (Though I haven't had time to do my 'prep work' on this one yet )
Also check you vcore w/ DMM, mine = 1.4 @ bios = 1.35, so reset mine to 1.275x1.04 (works for me 1.33-1.36 under load DMM )
Running DC prime (large FFTs, use s&m 1.7.6 looping for FPU :devil: ) @ 10x277 now; GBLA @ 2.67Vdimm.
After I got this one, my wife let me go try the Newegg lotto again to see if I can get another :buddies: :bounces:
More on this one after I have gotten a bit further in the testing/burnin curve.
(Oh spi was easy @ 10x300, but won't do much else, so not good enough for me since I use this for Rosetta )
Speaking of which:
ROSETTA HAS BEEN THE BEST STABILITY TEST/BURNIN TOOL for AMD DC. Go look in the rosetta forum and if you like what you see, XSTM would like to see you. PM any of our admins (see sig) and we can get you set RIGHT UP. :D

Hey man, mine's the same way.. I think it will do either 2808 or 2817 with 1.45v but 2850 seemed to need at least 1.55v. I didn't really test over 2800 much though as I'm fine with that..Quote:

just priming over night .. i have it for 3 days now, and it seams that over night sessions helped him to do same clock with less vcore .. as i said, this is my first chip that with days needs less voltage for same clock .. but dont forget, burning will not help achive higer oc, only less voltage for your max oc ..Quote:

Your mem will run @ 9/10th of your CPU HTT (180/200)
Example: If I run 9x300HTT (2700) w/ 180 divider, mem runs @ 270 FSB so 2700/270 = ?:hrhr:
Just try it and see, some CPU's may be picky :shrug:
Oh and if FX-60 = 2.6 Ghz @ stock, what is 2.8Ghz @ stock (DMM measured 1.35) :D (Dual priming for 1.5 hrs so far, large FFTs 10x280 :bounces: )

2 x Opty 265s and an MSI K8N Master 2-FAR.
uwire mod should take it to 1.5vcore and it's got a fair amount of HTT adjustment from the BIOS, so should technically be able to take them to 2.7GHz. I just wonder how the cores differ from the 939 dual core Opties (other than the memory controller).
Anyway, greatly anticipating the bits, should be fun!
