I'll let ya know what happens revenant ;)
just found this new listing on ebay for opteron 170
^this guy stated he got nice results from this chip. WOWQuote:
steppings - CCBWE 0534SPMW (oem chip)
that's one of the best overclocked chips at that stepping. old stepping after the 0530s
So to go from 2.6 to 2.7, he needed to add .07vQuote:

That voltage scaling is backwards. 0 feedback, no screenshots, i wouldn't trust it at all :nono:
I gotta second that.
Looks like he really wanna sell he chip:rolleyes:
..nice to see you back from the "dead" Absolute_0...close call that:D
btw where do you people get all these nice Opteron 170 CCB1E 0550 VPMW
no chance of finding any of thos left at any online retailer ?
i checked flickerdown.com too bad they don't have any anymore
You missed the 0550VPMW craze by about 3 weeks, back then it was possible to get them
@ Clint, thx, i am favored by the gods. They sent a Great Flood to ravage the capacitor bearing land of my mobo, and it was engulfed in a toxic sea of UV green dyed water. In the end though, everything worked :) Just some kind of test. I am surprised that the gods favor me, i haven't even been making my sacrifices, no dead CPUs here :D
they will always be a god stepping after the 0550vpmw. i'm thinking it will happen in the next 3-4 weeks.Quote:

A good fella gave me directions (glares at Absolute_0)..:p:
I guess they are pretty impossible to get hold of by now, but as allways...if the price is right.. ;)
like wut? around 430 for a oem? i might even pay for it at 450 if ihs is still on. CCB1E 0550 VPMW onlyQuote:

0546xpmw? are they any good in ocing? can they hit 2.8 on 1.45volts?
Look at my sig :DQuote:

Barb leaked real bad. What am i going to go with? What i got. Even though i was turning it on and getting beeps while it was flooding, it all worked the next day :)Quote:

OMG...that sux bro...I have BTX style as well...nothing hooked up to vid card...not sure if I would now...LOL...anyways glad to see nothing got hurt.
@ Grinch: When are you planning on lapping your core? Eager for results!:stick:
What would u guy's do:
I can have a Unown stepping and week numer Opteron 170. For 430$
Or a X2 4400+ for 470$.
Witch one would clock better ?
Opteron has a server core. And my last 165 did not do to well. Did not like 5x htt only max 230 @ 5x. My old cpu did 280x5. Also the MC sux with ballistix.
Do all opterons ans X2 have problems with ballistix ?
I'd take 170 over 4400+. 4400+s suck for OCin IMO. I'd sooner try a 3800+ X2 now... @ 295$ not bad.
I saw that one toQuote:

But i heared there is a problem with E6 cores and ballistix my 165 has a E6 and indeed its terrible. I saw that the x3800+ have E4 and E6.
Is this a known problem or is it just my bad luck ? my old cpu and this mem run fine only its a old Venice.
Else i will swap the memory to for some OCZ EB.
But u still would try the opteron 170 ?
0550 VPMW.. air cooling max screenshot 1.550v@3300mhz. G.Skill Fx 3200 @ DDR660:toast:
:toast: :woot:
3.3ghz on air :O impressed
can i know the room temperature and Vcore?
3,3GHz on air is freekin' awsome (Is that like Prime stable?). Got golden hair hanging down your thighs or did you pay some big money for this baby?
Nice!Quote:

Can someone explain to me why that is blanked on so many CPU-Z shots?
Did you boot into windows on that vcore/MHz?

3GHZ 24/7... :slobber:
Oh, I see how it is.
You're one of those guys that has to rub it in. lol :stick:
@ Grinch ..aha..I get it.
Kinda stupid though, how come they have done it like that...can't think of any good reason not to show the vcore.
@ CompGeek ..persistency pays off..:p:
Have 1.536v@3277mhz screenshot. ( 1.550v@3300 ) not stable ;) 3100@all bench stable 3170@spi 1mb stable.. need good, watercooling system :cool:

What kind of temps are you guys getting on air?
I also ordered a 170 hopfuly 2.8 ghz on air. That the goal. Or 260 Mhz @ stock volts. I hope it can run x5 HTT like my venice douse. And i hope lit likes my Ballistix :D
I just ordered a better water block and pump to compliment my coming golden chip :D

Danger Den TDX and D5

Didn't have the cash, besides, the way it worked out I needed to buy it from danger den store.
I know what you mean man...I dont think you will be disappointed at all...:woot:
I hope not :)
I managed to sell my other pump and maze4 to a freind for $60, he wont be overvolting his CPU like I do, so it works out nicely for both of us.
i'd like to add my 2 pennies for opti170 CCB1E 0550VPMW
2700mhz at 1.22v
2820 -- 1.275+4%
2860-2870 -- 1.325+4%
3020 -- 1.425+4% (not stable due to my poor cooler)
i'm very happy with this cpu, but also need to replace air-cooler for some kind of water-cooling
p.s. beg pardon for poor english.
wow man, very nice

Actually that's real good english. And an absolutely fantastic chip! :woot:Quote:

W000hoooo :banana: :toast: :banana: I can only dream i get a chip like that :DQuote:

Thank you! I hope you'll get an even better chip!Quote:

i also have to say my previous SD4000+ only were able to run at 2800-2840mhz with 1.55v :)
here in russia water-cooling not widely used (due to cost and usually much lower income rate), so no many offers from sellers (and usually something like zalman reserator -- :nono: )
now i'm starting from case modifications -- two of 120mm fans on top and bottom of case. everything hot now in closed case, especially PSU (about 60 C).
(one more time beg pardon for my low quality english).
Welcome to XS waldis! Very nice chip that one. And your english is really good so stop begging pardon ;)
If you can't get a decent WC, I'm sure you can put your comp next to a window and get some -c degrees from the Russian winds :D
When do you get that bad boy?Quote:

Very unlikely. VPMWs are like over, time to find other chips.Quote:

Yes, it looks like that it s really so.Quote:

Even the selling guy, who actually had I think four of them , is now selling 0551 UPMW s .
That s the stepping I had and the 170 managed "only " 2750 with 1,55 VCore. Sold it and, hopefully, tomorrow comes CCB1E 0550 VPMW of mine :p:
I am hoping for 2800 stable, anything more´d be a nice bonus :D
Congrats , waldis, from my side as well.
Burning has helped my chip a lot. Started 1.45v (with IHS) for 2600, and now I'm at 1.4v. Temps droped from 1.45v IHS on at 50c to 1.275x113% IHS off at 44c to 1.4v at 42c :woot: so 8c drop temps at the same speed. Seems maybe I can keep this until AM2. Time to /unsibscribe from this thread? I don't want to see more 3ghz with 1.4v :mad: :p:
BTW, dont you , guys, know the German Innovatek Co?Quote:

BTW the X1900XTX s cooler cools the voltage regulator on the PCB, which is unique .
That sounds like a poor clocking chip :(Quote:

However my temps are sky high. Still running retail cooler (which is pretty good I heard), waiting for a replacement bracket for my XP-90.
Anyway, I get 53-55 full load, case open. IHS has been removed and reinstalled with AS5. I did the same with my Venice back in the days and got a 10 degrees improvement.
Looks like this one just wants to run hot :( Am I the only one in this boat?
Could be a deformed IHS, in that case using AS5 on it isnt going to work, it just needs to be gone.
I even tried with the Venice IHS, pretty much the same result.Quote:

Hoping for 3.0GHz with 1.424V...but with air it is getting to hot I think.
Ah missed that :stick: it was like 6am here when I read it, still waking up ;) sorry heheQuote:

After that experience, I reinstalled the IHS on the Venice (a chip I know well, having it for months) to check what kind of temp difference I could expect with the reapplied IHS. I got good temps, 2-3 degrees higher than IHS-less at most.
I expected the same with the Opty. I guess I was wrong :(
My only hope is a great difference between retail cooler and XP-90, which I doubt.
hi guys, what you think about opteron 165 CCBWE 0607 UPBW?
thanks
Just ordered a new Opteron 165, look foward to posting my results. :)
no results from that yet, tell us!Quote:

No intel equipment, no time/space for another computer. I'm gonna build a conroe rig at the end of summer.
these VPMW's are going for at least $500 bucks on ebay. How stupid can these people be? I hope I didn't offend anyone here...teee heeee
fckin A. i was bidding on this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
lost.! props to the one who's willing to spend mroe then 500 on this
I hate you :p: :upset: :hehe:Quote:

I thought the whole purpose of overclocking was to buy the cheapest hardware possible and make it run at or faster than the fastest and most expensive out there. I guess the spirit is lost and everyone buying high end stuff.
Very enigmatic / PITA (frustrating) processor (BATCH 574)
300x9 @ 1.35Vcore
10x(anything over 260) = NO GO @ anyVcore, same for any divider combo. :brick:
Been playing w/ it for a week w/ TCCD, GBHZ...
WC- temps under 42c
chip from batch #523 goes to 3Ghz @ 1.45 same setup :brick:
Entertaining suggestions to get it to do something more, otherwise....
Going to stick in my beloved's computer, still better that 2.6Ghz @ 1.5Vcore :shrug:
guess2098 is a XIP here. He probably would've got the same at the FS section here after ebay fees.:mad:Quote:

made a point! :slapass:Quote:

thats just 2 retailers...(aka wholesale to public)
now here is fx60 same retailers:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103608
http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...ory_Code=amddc
thats quite a big dollar difference when you consider that the 170 will out perform the fx60 or at least as fast/good as (given the right stepping and cooling)....I think $500.00 for the right stepping is a very SMART decision or you can just roll the dice and get what you get for around $400.00...but who needs to really debate this...this is a no brainer....:toast:
oh yeah and another thing....an extra 50% would make it a $600.00 retail chip....or $750.00 good stepping/batch chip...which is still lower....*-)
exactly why i was bidding for a 0550vpmw for 500 but lost to someone willing to dish out extra 20+shipping and tax and insuranceQuote:

had not try to push it far as already had a better chip :)
i'm sorry if this is bad news.
I wont get my chip until friday now, dang it.
