Well I see some retailers with a picture of some plastic "see through" looking box. Is that just a picture they threw up, or is it the actual box? Look here:

Do you mind if I ask where you got yours from?

Thanks! Sounds really good. :toast:

Thanks Mats. I'm trying to understand what's being said. :) You wouldn't know whether they could ship to the U.K do you?

Thanks.

EDIT: Which did you order, the OSA146BNBO or the OSA146BNBOXCABNE?

Got 2x146 0540fpbw coming to me soon(friday i hope), and one more, maybe thats also a 0540fpbw. No more 146 left in sweden now..3h and 170+ 146 was all sold out.

you gotta be quick when places get a good stepping in, i heard cpu city got the 146 cabye0540 in and was sold out in 2 hours lol
ocuk was the same, soon as people seen we were getting that stepping they sold out fast

Well, I know I've missed the boat with the aweome CABNE's and CABYE's. I'm now waiting to try snap up some CAB2E's if that's what's coming in. I reckon it must be if Eva2000 said that in Australia they were just getting CAB2E's.

The U.K should be getting stock in the next couple of days.

in all fairness, i wouldnt get your hopes up on the cab2e, there a hit or miss stepping and not capable of 3ghz stable. (only seen 1 get near 3ghz)
even my cabge clocked further than the cab2e i had

It might have sounded like I'm getting my hopes up :) but I'm so used to not finding anything now. :) I'll just have to see!
11-09-2005, 04:08 AM

the only reason i got lucky is coz i bought 2 x 144's, 1 x 146 & 1 x 148 hoping to get one good one that could do 3ghz then sell the rest.
the 144's wouldnt go over 2.7ghz even with volts upto 1.7V which i sold pritty quick lol but the other 2 do 3ghz so the 148 will most likely go for auction tomorrow ;)

my 144 cab2e 0540 fpmw seems to be pretty good, i can get it up over 2.9, not totaly stable yet but 2.825 runs sweet, 1.5v xp90c cooler, and seeing how the 144 starts at 1.8 a stable 1000mhz increase, aint bad. my 146 cabge wont go over 2.7, 2.6 is its most stable setting.

what are the best MAL/read preamble settings to use with this chip?

heat is starting to become an issue with this 146 i have but it's capable of 3.0 with only 1.5 volts. it's occt stable but prime large fft crashed on me last night after about 3 hours. temps are getting up there. maxtcase temp is 65C's.

any suggestions?

Use at least mal 8 and read preamble 6. :fact:

This is max stabile with my good old BH5.
With a venice i could use mal 7 and read preamble 5 :stick:

Simply said _PMW's and _PAW's can be compared only if the procs are built during the same day.

I am offerd to buy either a CABYE 0536 and a CABYE 0540 same price, wich one is the best choice for the biggest overclock at the lowest voltage?
11-09-2005, 10:25 AM
Jupiler

CABYE 0540 would be the better choice.
Almost all of them can reach 2.9-3.0 Ghz at low voltage.
The 0536 aren't that good.

Well, there are serious suckers around in Opteron-land ;)
Had a 144 to play with. well... 2.8GHz was almost impossible. Required > 1.6V on water. I like my 4000 better :)

144: CABNE 0540BPMW
4000: KAB2E 0533RPMW

2 screens to support :)

Screen 1
was sick of trying to prime @ > 2.7. Really not stable.

Screen 2
capable of 3.0GHz prime < 1.6V :p:
this one is naked btw.

Problem is, bought this one today for a friend of me. So its highly unlikely he would like to see me undress his CPU :P As you can see temps are ok. But tried almost all memory dividers, higher chipset voltage etc. But the CPU wanted more and more volts. Stability increased with more volts but I was aiming @ 2.8GHz @ +/- 1.5V so I could trade with my 3700SD.

Too bad...

[EDIT] BTW, tried >310MHz HTT with my 4000 (and divider) and works perfectly. So, for now, I blame the Opteron :( [/EDIT]

Well I just took a trip to Monarch after work...

They still have some good steppings.

I have an Opteron 146 CABYE 0540FPAW :)

I googled my stepping, and someone managed 2.9 GHZ on stock voltage (scroll down a bit):

If necessary I will post pictures of the package for verification.

EDIT: Oh, and I can confirm they DO have the SLI-DR Expert in stock, though I did not buy one today

Just did a quick test to 2 144 CABYE 0536 GPMW. I used a friends dfi ultra because I am waiting for expert. I was a little confused with the thousands of settings :p: but I managed to get them both to 2800, super pi 8M stable with 1.5 and 1.525v bios (1.47 & 1.5v smartguardian) with stock cooler. Didn't have more time to test. Not superb, not bad either :D

Edit: Sorry, Ed: I'm a jerk.

RafaDel

Well... finally after a long time waiting I received my Opteron 148 from Compumusic, not they are slow but I had to use a friend to bring it to me in Brazil...

Overall this Opty is promissing...

CABNE 0528GPMW

Right from starting I could easily get 2860 at default voltage, my problem is the HEAT. It gets too hot running Prime, even at default voltage ~60C with a XP-120. That's may be because the 148s have higher temps I guess.

I dont want to invest in some more complicated cooling options so I'm kinda stucked here. I may replace my ThermalRight with a Big Typhoon but I dont believe it will help a lot.

question and sorry if it's slightly off topic here.

i'm testing my cabne 0530apmw chip but i'm having some stability issues.

3.0 ghz with the 180 mem divider allows me to pass 32M superpi and OCCT 30 minute test.

3.0 ghz with the 180 mem divider crashed windows about 3 hours into large fft prime95 test.

retested 3.0 ghz with 166 mem divider as to eliminate the possibility that it was the ram. ran prime95 large fft for 6 hours+ before i stopped it.

decided to game and my game hard locked 2 or 3 minutes into it.

so i decided to test small fft prime95. it generated an error within 4 seconds. reran it again and generated an error within 1 minute.

the question is...

what tests constitute a processor as being stable?

people swear by large fft prime95 while others say small fft prime95 while others say other tests...

what test methodology do you guys use in order to consider a cpu stable for 24/7 use?

back onto topic

the 0530 apmw chip is pretty amazing. i'm using small fft prime and it is running 2.9 ghz with just 1.44 volts but temps are running warm at 55C's on my watercooling.

My CABYE 0540FPAW arrived this afternoon. Initial results look good.

310 FSB for 3.1 GHz with watercooling

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/140/310fsb6uo.jpg

Memory, 310 FSB, 1T

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9500/memory5ek.jpg

Initial test. Can get to 3050. After that, it gets unstable. It is probably the RAM since it is at 1:1 and 1T. Have step it back and see what the CPU ceiling really is.

http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/9649/results2ud.jpg

Now, off to do some tweaking and benching.

Also have a CABGE 0534 SPMW which is lousy, as expected (2.65 Ghz). Looks like Monarch has an old lot of OEM CPU's. The good one was a boxed retail version.

Hey dude,

those temps are very high for water cooling, wht is your WC setup? You may have to get the opty naked to bring those temps down, my CABNE0530APMW also had poor temps with IHS on, but after removal on my WC, I am arnd 32C idle and between 39-42C load.

yes, i understand the temp is high!

:(

i have a 3700+ SD running 2.85 ghz naked with 1.6 volts and it runs a cool 44C's at 100% load.

So this chip which runs a whole 0.15 volts lower and 50 mhz faster runs 55-57C's 100% load!!!

i'm gonna keep the IHS on for now. I'm pretty sure this is a 3 ghz chip. I have one more 146 on the way from tankguys next week. We'll see how the two compare. I'll keep one and sell the other. Whichever I keep, I'll take the IHS off to lower temps for sure.

Excellent 146 CAB2E 0540. A lot better than the 144 CAB2E 0540 has been showing. Wonder if that's because the 146 has a higher multi (allowing lower HTT) or if they're being binned?

Heh, Swedish can be difficult...
I couldn't find any info about shipping to other countries or not.
You can always call them on 0046 303 15790.

I ordered OSA146BNBOXCABNE and paid 25 % more so I could choose code. I wanted CABNE 0530 or CABYE 0540. Then they called me up one week later and asked if I wanted CABYE 0540 FPMW and I said yesss! :toast:

Do you think it's better than 146 CABYE 0540 FPBW/FPMW?

Monge :toast:

yes my CAB2E 0540FPMW is amazing

3150mhz 1.568v for 1M on hydrocool water 1/4" tubes
3150mhz 1.584v for 8M on hydrocool water 1/4" tubes

room temp 28.5C

I can't believe how great these Opterons are! the vcore is what's really amazing though, to get to 3 GHz on my San Diego I'm pushing 1.7V!

Here are my initial runs with this chip after a few hours playing :)

146 CABYE 0540 FPAW
http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7...05403xr.th.jpg

Stock settings were good - meaning that it ran up with no issues.

200x10 @ 1.4v

http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1...014v4dn.th.jpg

310x10 @ 1.4v
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=49323

http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/5...i32m0zh.th.jpg

Now wondering were it would go I stopped the long Pi runs just to see what happens.
330x10 @ 1.44v
http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7...pi1m5jq.th.jpg

Until finally stopping here .. well at least for this inital test period anyway
340x10 @ 1.5v

There is plenty of work still to do and the BIOS, while stable, is showing up some errors - like missing FSB 388. I also need to get my good TCCD's back on line..

Current BIOS
704-2BTA / Yellow Slots / 1.5-2-5-2-7-14

And yes the Pi times are not matched for the speeds due to not maxing out the mem - they are on a big divider - tweaking will come later. :)

looking good ncsa, now to test for stability ;)

Yes stability needs to happen at some stage and matching the right BIOS / modules up as well.

@eva .. V.nice timings there and Pi runs. Where can this 623-2BTA BIOS be found as it maybe better for the BH modules I have? Thxs

Just got a CABYE 0540FPAW from Zipzoomfly. Ordered on Tues. I'll bench and post back.

OK so far it has done 2800MHz on stock volts reported at 1.360v and with stock heatsink. Never went over 42C full load.

Right now at 3000MHz on 1.504v 48C load.
Ambient air temp is 73F.

Mon. I get a new case and watercooling setup for this chip so I'll see what that will get me to.

These CABYE 0540 every one is getting is indeed looking good. Hope a can get 2.8 stable for BF2 with mine cooled by a TT BT thats i coming in tomorrow.

D4nny,

You should update your sig.... we don't know what you are running that CABYE on.

i got 2 cabye 0540fpbw @ 3ghz :banana:
the 148 is being auctioned though as i dont need 2 of them & the 146 does it on 1.45V :toast:

I can do 3000 too - its not prime stable though.

Running the Zalman 9500 here, 3000 will super PI 8m, will not complete OCCT or prime so it's not really stable. However 2.930 seems stable at 1.50v.

Opteron 148 CABYE 0528GPMW

Opteron 148 CABYE 0528GPMW. Running on a divider using some old TwinMos BH5, as I don't have my long-term RAM yet. Planning to get 2x1GB Ballistix.

DFI Ultra-D, 6/23/05 BIOS
Swiftech Storm, dual 120mm heatercore, Swiftech MCP655
Peak temps in smartguardian during P95 runs - CPU 55c, PWM 45c, Chipset 38c
CPU appears to scale nicely with voltage, but it hit a wall at 1.623v (BIOS setting 1.475x110%) with this cooling. I'll probably pull down the volts and OC until I see more long term results with these chips at 1.6v + (wouldn't wanna kill it just yet). :)

Prime95 v24.14, in-place large FFTs, 10x295, 16+ hours

Prime95 v24.14, in-place small FFTs, 10x295, 8+ hours

SuperPi 32M, 10x305. Unimpressive timing due to divider...

woohoo I got a 146 CABYE 540 fpaw from mwave today...im stoked! :woot:

Oh yeah...I am a bit new to these forums, but I definately have been reading em for the past couple of weeks and decided to jump in to the opteron madness.

I also have a 144 CAB2E i ordered from dreamhardware and two more 146s on their way. I was just gonna wait for tomorrow when I will have em all to begin my weekend of fun by chosing the best stepping but I may just start now with the CABYE. If it goes well I probably won't even touch the others and just sell em cherry.

Anyways...let you know my results. Ill fill you in on my board later...not a DFI, just hoping for at least 2.9 and anything more is just icing on the cake.

Oh my poor 3700 sandy, how you will be neglected :p:

Oh yeah...I don't have work tomorrow either :banana:

Fun stuff and welcome to XS :toast:

If i were you i would test em all, from my experience you never know what it's going to do just by the batch/date codes. GL and enjoy :)

I ordered my 146 from monarch last night and it is in the mail. It should be here by Teusday. I will let you guys know how it does on high end water.

I also pray it has a good mem controller so that I can run 310+mhz 1:1

Might have gotten lucky for once....

First CPU ordered from Monarch OEM 146 turned out to be a CABGE but arrived with bent pins. They told me I could try bending them back but if I broke one it was my new key chain.

I took the RMA and since they were back ordered I got store credit and took a 148 OEM since the prices have dropped.

Fedex brought me my new toy today!! :woot:

OSA148DAA5BN
CAB2E 0540 FPMW

CPU Information (CPU #1):
Standard CPUID: Family: F, Model: 7, Stepping: 1
Extended CPUID: Family: F, Model: 27, Stepping: 1
CPUID String: 20F71
Processor APIC: 0
Processor: AMD Opteron 148 (San Diego)
CPU Speed: 2210.18 (200.93 x 11.0)
Revision: SH8-E4
Platform: Socket 939
Startup VCore: 1.400v
Maximum Case Temperature = 63C

CAB2E stepping does seem to run warmer than my old 3700 SD but it passed OCCT at default speeds using 1.15v in bios 1.12v reported in windows. Will keep folks posted on how it turns out.

How does one identify the batch of the CPU?

Sorry bout that :) It's just not yet a complete "working" system as of yet. Slowly piecing it together.

Here's what I have so far

DFI Lanparty NF4 UT SLI-DR
146 Opteron CABYE 0540FPAW @ 2800MHz 1.39v stock cooler
2x512MB OCZ EL Platinum Rev 2 PC3200 1:1 2.5,3,3,7 2.8v
PCI Radeon 7200
WD SE IDE 80GB

Waiting on the video card(s) :)
Also on the way is the new Thermaltake Tai-Chi Water Cooled Case and a Swiftech Storm waterblock. Already have the WB just waiting on the Donkey with a limp from CA to get the case here :woot:

Oh and the Brand A$$ new Antec Neo HE550 arrived yesterday.... DOA!!!!!!! :slapass:
