Opty 170 2.9Ghz on AIR

Guess what? last night I came home from work and started the computer. Fans spin for a split second and board shuts off. This is exactly the same thing that occured when the smoke came out. this is with the venice in. note i was doing 3d benches all night after the smoke happened on the same dfi board. So now I am wondering if it was the board that I cooked. I am wondering if that 170 is still good. Darn, I already sent it back to mwave. If they test the cpu and find it's good then they will just send it back to me. I just wish I tested it in a another board before freaking out.
ANyway, Ricky at DFI gave me a RMA for the board. there is smoke residue by the mosfets on the board.

Did u use the 702 bios ? it was known for blowing up cpu's. It had a issue with the v-core voltage or something.

holy :banana::banana::banana::banana:, excuse my french

whats your stepping and temps at 3.0? if its ccbwe 0530 and mine can do that, or even 2.9 on air (planning on getting a si-120 also) i will crap my pants

where are your case fans? the standard places (1 on top 2 on back 1 on side 2 on front)? or are some over particular places on the mobo

so yeah, all in all, holy :banana::banana::banana::banana:

Could you post your settings/screen shots? What BIOS? And how are you measuring stability? Thanks.

I find it quite amazing that most screen shots of CPU-Z does not tell us anything about the spesific opteron's code name. I know that CPU ID show such information. So, can everybody please check the code name and eventually add it to the post?

I'm still waiting on my Crucial RAM to get back from RMA before I post anymore screenies.

Case fans: 1: bottom front blowing in (vantec tornado 80mm), 2: top rear blowing out (tri-color clear 80mm), 1: in front of hdd's blowing in (panaflo medium output 80mm), 1: over SI-120/CPU (Panaflo ultra high output 120mm), 1: mod mounted to blow over ram and partial CPU (vantec tornado 80mm)
Side panel is off and cold air blowing in from AC.
All this produces about 42-44C @ 1.57v MaxLoad. With Side panel on it gets about 56C MaxLoad. Opty's are HOT!

Yes, it's a CCWBE 0530. I'm using 704-2BTA BIOS. I'm also waiting on a new mobo, b/c this modded Ultra-D is giving me some RAM slot issues. So I ordered a DFI SLI-DR which should be here soon. After replacing the mobo and RAM when they get here I'll post some screenshots when I have time.

Right now I'm running at 295x10 with side panel on and doing everyday things....no issues at all. I can run 305x10 w/o side panel and be fine as well...however for looks I'll keep it on for now and run a little slower until my ballistix gets here.

nice clocks !!! :toast:

I'm getting my Opteron 165 in 2 day's. If it douse not hit the 2.9 i'm replacing it for one of those 170's :P

I hope you'll get a good one... :)

I just received another 170 CCBWE, 0530TPMW, #51 (the last one was #62)

I am going to be very careful with this one. If you are new to this thread, I blew my last 170 from the same week and stepping with 1.7v

My 170 0530 from Newegg yesterday is happily dual priming along at 2800 and 49 degrees under an SI-120. Ultra-D 704-2BTA BIOS voltage set to Auto and 104%. Nice chip. Will boot at 3000 easily but gets way hotter (close to 60) than I'm comfortable with priming at +- 1.44v.

-pickles

man this replacement cpu blows!

265x10 no matter what volts seems to be max.
cpu temps around 30c 35c load
either this or the DAGF nf4 DFI board i am on. I originally got the cpu for work but I wanted to clock it 1st before going in the work rig. I have a m-atx biostar board there. I will clock tomorrow and see if it get any better but for now this is my max :(

you keep saying that, but can't you just put up something with the ram you're using now to hold us over? ;)


trans.. :(
it'll be ok :buddies:

I just ordered my 180 Denmark about 10 minutes ago and will be in my hands this coming monday... I'll report my oc findings with my watercooled rig asap.
