At least with phase you can count on 400-500 mhz. That pays for itself pretty quick.
Weren't there some a few pages back? Oh well. Guess I should've taken notes, it looks like they are only 146's. I still need one and so does he.
Have the CABYE 0540 been seen in 146 so far, or 148? or both?
i have 2 APMW and 1 FPBW.Quote:

I'm trying to source god stepping 146's in the U.K. I'd like to take some back to South Africa for some friends, as S.A doesn't have anyone bringing them in.
Any guys here from the U.K know where I can find some. I've got a couple of places in mind, but I'm waiting for them to get stock, so they can give tell me the stepping.
No-one in the UK as them in stock at the moment, only 144s seem to be coming in. But, there should be some coming in this week so I'm told.
What steppings are you guys receiving in the UK ? Thinking of getting a friend of mine to order from komplett.co.uk, but would like to know which stepping i most likely will receive!
i got a 146 cabye 0540fpbw which does 2.9ghz on stock V & 3ghz 1.45V & a 148 cabye 0540fpbw which i havnt tested yet and both came from OCUK www.overclockers.co.uk
I just got off the phone from someone at Komplett.co.uk. All he could tell me was that they have a "mixed batch". I was hoping to get a litte more than that out of him.Quote:

i got my 146 on the 2nd november & the 148 came today
Thats sweet Pt1t. Weird how one chip of more or less the same design can perform so much differently than another.
The 0530 cabne's were great and the 0540's are so-so. The o536 cabye's are ok but the o540's rock. I guess just a lucky batch of wafers at whatever fab.
Blank to all, I am trying opteron a 144-146 with promising acronym or tested, someone could help me indicating to me where in pm... thanks to all!
Mark :D
overclockers.uk is too expensive. and no :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing email ?!!!!
yeah, i can't find an e-mail......Quote:

:( :( :(
Me too..... I asked too many shops and i found only lots and lots of CABGE!!! :(
tell me about damn CABGE's.....all people bought them...many people 2-3 not leaving others a chance.
i got my 146 from them (cabye 0540fpbw) and cost me £101 before prices went up due to the demand.Quote:

tatts: why you need 2 ? ;)
i got 2 to make sure i got a good stepping, if i got 1 i would of ended up with a cabge lol
i will be selling one soon though, possibly the 146 ;)
Very nice oc. What is the ambient temp? and theese are cooling by air?Quote:

marvalous mate, same stepping as mine & also does 2.9ghz on stock volts :banana:Quote:

If you get a retail 146 from Monarch while they're still in stock right now, it's a very good chance of being a 0540. Tankguys is $30 cheaper, and I have one on the way from them right now, but you'll have to get in line.Quote:

its really tempting to order one, but I don't know.Quote:

not if its a cabye 0540, i seen one auctioned for £245 the other day ;)Quote:

ZZF can't claim me they have caybe 0540 :)
Keep an eye on Compumusic also as they list the stepping and week of every shipment coming in,i picked up a nice CABYE week 28 148 from them last week.
now both opterons are running 3ghz and temps are very similar for both (1C more under load for the 148) :banana: :banana: :banana:

It is a little expensive with 233$ for a 146. Here in Norway the 146's cost about 180$, not that they have them in stock. :(
I did order a 146 the 3.nov then it sayd 10 days delivery, now it says uknown delivery,well well..
Thats the place,type in amd opteron in the search area.Quote:

What's your cooling?

and some dunno XP90 or something.
22ºC ambient and the proc is at 23ºC idle? Now that's one truly xtreme watercooling. :eek:Quote:

not chilled and CnQ off and my sensors are ok, just 1.39v and good watercooling.Quote:

Thanks for the info :)Quote:

monge: think one is for 940 ?
mine came in the cardboard retail box if thats what you mean?
as for venus & san diego, i think one is a skt939 & the other is skt940, always make sure it says 939 before buying coz if it doesnt it will prob be a skt940
Tedy: But I've seen Opteron 146 "Venus" for soc. 939.
eg. here:
http://www.ebug-europe.com/bug/defau...CK939110022944
tatts: Yes, that's what I meant. The cardboard retail box came with Box cooler?
On AMD.com I only find this 146 soc.939:
http://www.amdcompare.com/us%2Den/op...pn=OSA146BNBOX
yep, mine came in the cardboard box with cooler etc.
im letting one of mine go & trying a 165 or 170 next :D
You can get a good price for it, I guess.Quote:

1.8V with stock heatsink, it would of died by now :stick:

What BIOS are you running and anychance of an A64 Tweaker screenshot?
i take it youre using a dfi? im using the 704-2bta (use tmods cd from dfistreet to update)
as for a64 tweaker, i havnt touched it yet, left all ram on default for now until i find the max stable clock out of both of them
are you using a ram divider? maybe thats your problem?
Or not using one. Memory bandwidth shouldn't be a huge consideration with the on-chip memory controller. Using a divider to keep it around DDR400 with good timings but a high clockspeed (FSB) should produce good results. I'm using the 2/3 divider to keep my memory is around 204 with and FSB of 310, but my timings are 2-5-2-2 plus tweaks and it's running better than it ever has and I don't think I've topped it out yet.Quote:

Looks like my 144 Cab2e 0540fpmw compares fairly well, its been running for a week or so, had a few problems with some very twitchy RAM, lacking a bit of bandwidth as a result, running a cpu/14 divider :rolleyes:
Well pleased overall though, my first build with an athlon since my thunderbird 1Ghz :D
I have tried that BIOS and a few others ~ Using G.Skill LA 1:1 or divider (133/166) seems to make no difference, also w/c with temps not going above 45c under load!Quote:

theres something your missing then if the cabne 0528 needs alot of volts aswell, have you lowered the ldt multiplier? or tried slackening your ram timings?
i get it now, the 1st post doesnt make much sense, even with a mach II 1.8V is abit high, you must be brave lolQuote:

Yep, all of those ~ LDTx3, trying the 6.23-1 BIOS. RAM is Memtest stable tests 5 & 8 250MHz 1:1 (2.5-3-6-3 1T) vcore 1.52 actual 1.53 on multimeter!Quote:

I wish :( htt literally scaled opposite to temperature. When I first set it up, I thought I had the worst opteron in history as I couldn't get above 2.4 at -20C! 70C warmer gives me 9X324 and more.Quote:

what do u guys think of the posibilities of this stepping? :stick:

nearly every 146 so far with that stepping have hit 3ghz with pritty low volts, mine is the same stepping and does 3ghz on 1.45V and some need upto 1.55V, just hope your board clocks well :DQuote:

Are the CABYE 0540 coming in the cardboard box or the new box? Anyone know?
All the retail opty's come in the cardboard box.
the cardboard box.. is the new box ;)Quote:

Once that's done you should be able to take it pretty high with the first limitation coming up being the cooling you have. On water you should be able to crack 3ghz. After cooling issues are resolved, YMMV based on what the board will allow. Good luck and post your initial results ASAP.Quote:

My 146 will arrive on friday, code is CABYE 0540 FPMW. *PMW or *PAW are usually good AFAIK.
So what do you think, is it a winner?
mats : where from ?
I have i Choice to buy eiter a CABYE 0536 or a CAYE 0540 for the same price, wich one is the best?
Yea, that's a good stepping - DFX's Opteron 146 CABYE 0540 FPMW @ 3.5GHzQuote:
