Come on post the clocking ;)
Anyone seen this stepping: ccbbe 0615mpmw ? Is it a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty stepping or is it the rest of my hardware thats stopping me?
My 185 is a CCBBE 0613MPMW and it does 3Ghz on stock voltages. Granted it starts at 2.6Ghz stock, but it seems ours were just maufactured at different times.Quote:

Hi everyone. I wanna brag about my opty too after seeing all of yours.

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/IMG_0397.jpg
mmmmmm, i think i hit 3.37 on 1.52V . But i bought a QX and was messing with it for a while. Sold the QX and went back to this baby. I honestly i like to keep things chilly. BTW im half debating on dropping my TEC that i pulled off the QX onto this rig. But, time is not letting me get around to it. :T
:toast: Wow, sweet OC for a 175! :clap:
whats really funny about my CPU is she doesnt like 1.45V She either likes it lower then 1.4 or higher then 1.5
I have no idea why... but as you can see, any chip that oc's to 3.0ghz on stock voltage is thumbs up for me.
But yeah... anyone else with a CCBBE 0617 EPWM should test this theroy.
I fail at 2.9ghz on 1.4V incase your wondering. Its REALLY REALLY wierd. And on stock voltage i'll prime for hours and hours at that clock.
Well got a LCB9E 0652WPMW.
Will install tonight and see how it goes ;)
My Opty 185 has so far OC'd as follows:
Stock 2600 @ 1.3v
OC to 2733 @ 1.3v
OC to 2880 but needs 1.35v to startup and 1.42v (5%) to pass Prime testing.
Full load (two FAH clients running) temps are about 50c.
Well currently Orthosing at 2.6GHz (260 x10) at stock voltage, temps with the XP90C are 50/57 C full load. I think I need to get that Tuniq Tower ;)
But so far so good.
2.7Ghz passed Orthos at stock volts for 14 hours, but them locked up when I opened CBID and Coretemp at the same time :confused:
Any idea chaps?
what priority are you running orthos under? 1 or 10?
@Draxx - CoreTemp is still beta 0.94 and there are reports of lockups and random reboots in their forum, I had a few as well mainly if I left it running in Systray but also when using CBid & CPUz.
I normally Orthos using Blend test @ Priority 5.
Only 1 at the moment mate, just doing basic testing, S&M first thing when I get home from work ;)Quote:

Will report load temps when Dual prime is up and running.
Smiffy
PS
They seem to have changed the design of the oem heatsink a bit.Will try and take some pics.
Once I can get the barbs for the Nautilus that will cool the 1900XTX with a swiftech MCW60
and then the Opteron will be cooled by a D-Tek Fuzion pumped by an Iwaki MD15R via a Black Ice Xtreme 3 radiator.

Not bad Smiffy. Did they change the OEM heatsink for the better or worse? Or at least from your observation?
Thanks SMIFFY for your result posts, and do keep more coming!!! :DQuote:

Hi All
The one on the left.Noticably more fin area and larger but a smaller fan,seems to be 70mm on new against 80mm on old.
Popped it on my Opteron 146 running 3Ghz in the DFI RDX200.

Back again
Testing stability at 2800Mhz still on 1.3v

Hi All
Fine at 2.8Ghz.Testing 2.9Ghz on 1.325v
Smiffy
Update on the OC of my Opty 185 -
2880 (240x12) @ 1.40 - Orthos and FAH okay
2940 (245x12) @ 1.40 - Orthos and FAH okay
3000 (250x12) @ 1.45 - Post and CPUz but Orthos failed.
Up to 3GHz but needed a bigger jump on voltage.1.425v
Smiffy
But Orthos dont fail with 1.425v?Quote:

My results:

9x289 = 2600 @ 1.35v -> Rock Stable with Folding@Home 24/24
9x300 = 2700 @ 1.245v -> corrupt file in windows while booting
Please tell me somethings:
- Do you think I can go a little higher?
- Could it be a problem because I'm using Vista? Maybe with XP Pro I wouldn't have this problem?
Here's the stepping of cpu:
you sure can go higher, well providing your temps are in check. put 1.45v to her and see how far you can go. imo 1.45 is fine for air with good temps. hell if you have real good cooling i would even go as far as 1.5v :)Quote:

I have a Scythe Ninja heatsink with a SILVERSTONE FM122 120MM fan.
Unfortunately, my currents temps are a little bit high... I need to put some new Artic Ceramic on my cpu.
With cpu fan @ full speed:
Do you think it might be trouble with your RAM? If you are stable at 2.6@1.35, 2.7 should be almost stable with 1.425, if we apply the .1v:100MHz rule that nearly all of these seem to follow. Try 1.45 and maybe play with some dividers and RAM settings
I have 2x1GB G.Skill PC3200ZX and they are already with the 140 divider, which means that they are at their default speed. I'm giving them 2.7vdimm, but my DFI overvolts them at almost 2.8v.
RAM settings? Eish... don't understand anything of that in these boards :( Don't know what to change... too confusing :(
I have the same RAM, try lowering voltage to 2.6 or even 2.5v (the sweet spot for mine). We'll make it easy, post up an A64 tweaker screenshot so we can see if there's any changes that might help you out
@ BRSG:

Repoman, thx for helping me :)
WoutZoR: I'll check that thread, thx :)
Meanwhile, here's a screenshot of A64 Tweaker (I have everything at auto in bios)
No problem. But, your A64 Tweaker SS is screwed up. Keep hitting "Refresh" at the bottom there until the numbers change to something a lot lower, and until the asterisks go away.. you'll know it's right when "Write CAS latency" is 1, that's the only number that works with DDR memory. A value of 2 or above will make the system not boot, or if set in Windows, freeze immediatelyQuote:

Tried that, but still the same numbers... could it be because of the odd memory divider (140), or maybe windows vista is causing this?Quote:

I've messed around with memory settings, I'm almost positive I can rule it out (OCZ platinum that's underclocked to 180mhz).
nice score!!!
I am not very lucky with my opty 170 CCBBE 0615 EPMW
I am getting only 2740 Mhz from it at 1.41v
I tried 2750 with more volts (up to 1.47v) but fails orthos and pi in a few minutes. I tried before with an AsRock dual sata and now with an Asus A8N32 Sli de luxe and still not able to clock any higher. Temps at full load are around 55C.
I though the chip could reach 2.8 - 3.0 but not luck here :slapass:
I guess my opty doesn't like volts (Tcase by core temp is 59C)
I get my opty on tuesday can't wait :)
I'm tempted to get an opty from Newegg but I'm still weighing out options for how to spend $200.
I think your PWMIC temperature is overly high. Find a fan to blow at it or enhance your internal airflow and see if that helps (by stabilizing) your OC.Quote:

im gettin 3ghz not stable but it was a funny nite*looks 2 dani*
here are sum screens of our runs[opty 170 ccbbe 0615 dpmw]
ggs
Hi, PWMIC temp I guess is the core temp???Quote:

About the case yeah it was running a bit hot so I put yesterday a 12cm fan in the side panel blowing air to the GFX and the mobo so the system will be cooler now but I don't expect any improvement to the core temp as the 52C with orthos was without the left panel.
I guess not all the CCBBE reach speeds close to 3GHZ ;)
I still having to try 1.5v but I am not happy about running the core 24H at that voltage.
Use DFI mobo as your reference: PWMIC location
Well, I finally managed to get some time to tinker around a bit more with my opty 165. It's been going good so far, except for the crappy memory management with the motherboard. I have it up to 2.8ghz now, 311x9, but with my nice OCZ platinum ram only running at 155mhz (2-2-2-5):
http://fanatic22b.net/oc_2.8.jpg
I'm thinking it can go higher with it still being at stock voltage so long as I can keep the heat under control (gets up to the high 40c range under load). If anyone's curious, the stepping is CCBBE 0617FPMW, and my mobo is the ASUS A8N-E.
I can't get my Opteron 165 (CCBBE 0615DPMW) stable past 2835mhz on air. I had it running at 2885mhz for a LONG time, and it seemed stable, until I got a couple of blue screens while gaming. So I've since backed down to 2835. I'm not entirely sure what's holding me back.
I have a couple questions too, what does VID stand for? I'm assuming it is the stock vcore for a CPU? TCaseMax and TDP are also new to me... my VID is 1.35, TCaseMax is 57, and TDP is 75. I'm assuming from seeing other screenshots, these aren't very good.
Well, my board can run 350 HTT (or higher, I stopped there), so I'll pretty much never need to worry about that being a limiting factor. The ram is on a divider and I know it's stable. I'm thinking the ole Opty just needs more voltage. Maybe a +.1 in chipset too.
I have the same stepping as you! Got it upp and running today on my DFI Expert, Booted straight into win at 300*9 @ 1,4 running Orthos now. Does your cpu run as hot as mine? Cold by TT Big Typhoon. \\Regards BadNizzeQuote:

At the mo running F@H on core 1 and F@H GPU the temps are Core 0 52 Deg C and Core 1 54 Deg C.
I have just picked up a DFI SLI-DR Expert so may get another 165 for that as well.
Smiffy
Hmm... a LCB9E 0704 that beats CCBBE 0610, pretty impressive... :D
And I believe that 3060MHz/1.50v is blessed by dual prime? ;)
Hi
Not yet VWS.Just haven't had time in all honesty.It runs FAH on both cores no problem and runs the FAH SMP
client no problem.Will run Prime soon as time allows but as I have picked up a DFI Expert I may pop it in that
to see what it does.
You won't be disappointed with the DFI Expert. It's like OCer's wet-dream come true. I have used it to tweak the impossible (the impossible for other boards.) Be sure to check out Tmod's BIOS Utility CD (free download.) I have had great success with Merlins BIOS mod for my Expert(s). Good luck.
Hi VWS
Many thanks,have just downloaded it.Board seems fine on 2 X 512mb 3200 Ballistix which I didn't think it would like.
Hell of a lot cooler running board than the SLI-DR.Have an Opty 146 in it at the mo.
Smiffy
LOL, I also used my 2x512MB Ballistix kits on one of my Expert. It is proven to hit about 280+MHz (1:1 no divider) on DFI Expert when properly tuned and cooled - the Ballistix heatspreaders can get scorching hot which hinders it's overclockability so you might want to set up a fan blowing on to the pair. I've found that it stabilizes the memory quite effectively.
Always have pointed a fan at the ballistix.Maybe this is why so many sticks die.
Never had any other memory which runs this hot.
Am thinking of getting a Corsair Dominator Air cooler cooler to sit on them.

Don't know how old this is, but I got just the same one from netshop.no yesterday... Don't think I can get 3 GHz, but still the same... 2.8 GHz on 1.35~1.4V ain't bad, but got an issue with my RAM, so I don't seem to get this tweaked out as much as I want to... but then again, I'm running x64, so there can be an issue with oc/osQuote:

No problem mate. Mine is PC4000/Z505 and here are the params I've found easy to work with while overclocking the CPU:
Genie BIOS settings:

32 Byte Granularity - Disable(4 Bursts)
As you can see these are loose constraints. Once you've reached the CPU speed limit, you may want to fine tune the memory timings from there and get the most bandwidth out of your rig.
For your reference I've digged a few "refined" settings out of DIY-street's OC Database:
Ballistix settings #1
Ballistix settings #2
Ballistix settings #3
As always your mileage may vary. Hopefully this gives you the head wind you need to take off. Once you fly high, be sure to report back. ;)
Hi
Many Thanks VWS.Having some trouble but am fast coming to the conclusion I have yet another duff stick.
The CL1117 stick is ok on its own but as soon as I stick the other CL1115 stick in it bsods and or refuses to go past post etc.
I had the same trouble with it in my RDX200.
I get no errors on memtest but am giving the suspect stick to a friend to test as I have had instances before of errors
on an amd xp sys but not on an amd64s sys.
Thanks for he inf and links

Hi All
What do Opteron 170s overclock like compared to 165s?
Im stuck here with a DFI RDX200 which doesn't go much past 300Mhz fsb so I think a 170 may be better than a 165.
TA for any help
Smiffy
Stick to your 165... my 170 will go past 2.6, but when I set it to 2.8 it's not orthos stable. If I set 1.5V it won't boot... even at 2 GHz... strange behaviour if you ask me!Quote:

You could get a 170 which need 1.55V to reach 2.6g while a 165 which reaches 2.8g at stock. Personally, given the price difference I wouldn't recommend the 170 unless you think you might need the multi
Hi
Ta for inf.Will go with another 165 and see if I can get more out of the board.
Smiffy
I was just wondering why we're all still harping over these chips when Intel's Core 2's kill them and AMD's K10's are right around the corner? Don't get me wrong, I love my 165 but I'm transferring it to my wife's PC as soon as I get a hard release date for Crysis. That game is going to chew up and spit out any hardware that isn't completely up-to-date at the time of it's release. Even then, I doubt many will be able to enjoy it at it's max settings without having a multi-GPU config. Ahhh, the price of progress.
very off-topic reply from you
maybe cause many of us don't have wives to give them our current pcs
maybe cause we are smart enough to keep our current systems till K10 is available next year
or maybe cause this is an overclocking forum for every kind of computer hardware
in all cases your reply ( sorry to say that ) is very noobish that appear to be coming from a rich boy who wants to tease everyone around him
a tip for your life, either give helpful replies and answers or don't talk at all

Also, if I were rich, don't you think that I would have gone over to the "Dark Side" lol, and bought an Intel rig? Judging by every review in the past few months, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade at this time. Those who have upgraded from relatively high-end dual core A64's to Core 2's are going to realize their folly when the actual "next-gen" games are released and understand that jumping the gun on the Core 2's was unjustified.
I apologize if I came off wrong. Believe me, I love overclocking because it enables me to extract the maximum performance vs price that I can.
Finally, I'm not a "boy." I'm 37 with a beautiful 10-week old daughter(3 weeks in my avatar) and I want to apologize once again for not choosing my words more carefully.
They clock about the same on the same stepping. Problem is, if you get a good stepping the 165 @300 FSB will be under-achieving ... ;)Quote:

Also, if I were rich, don't you think that I would have gone over to the "Dark Side" lol, and bought an Intel rig? Judging by every review in the past few months, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade at this time. Those who have upgraded from relatively high-end dual core A64's to Core 2's are going to realize their folly when the actual "next-gen" games are released and understand that jumping the gun on the Core 2's was unjustified.
and that is what this thread is all about :)Quote:
I apologize if I came off wrong. Believe me, I love overclocking because it enables me to extract the maximum performance vs price that I can.
sure i released that, i said you seems like not you are ;)Quote:

cong on your daughter and wish she will fill your life with happiness and joy
Hello! I am currently using a 4400+ @ 240x11=2.64GHz using 1.5v. I have overkill liquid cooling, and the temps range from 17C idle to an Orthos-induced max of 26C. I am staying with this system until the end of the year, and would like to upgrade as much as I can. I know that I can find an FX-60 rolling around, but as I have a DFI Expert and PC-4000, I really just need a multi of 11 for reasonable maximum potential (300 x 11 = 3.3GHz (I wish)).
Anyway, I recently read something quite odd; it suggested that all Opterons of a given stepping are the same; i.e. a 170 & a 185 of the same stepping are identical except for the 170 having the multi capped at 10, where the 185 is capped at 13. This suggested that assuming that they are both of the same stepping, and the multi was set to 10, they would both have approximately the same maximum speed potential.
This is a wild thought, but not completely unreasonable. So first of all, can anyone give me info along these lines? Is this true or does potential in Opty's work just like most other CPUs with faster-rated CPUs having a higher speed potential?
Secondly, I keep reading about how varying the potential is using this stepping or that; can anyone tell me if there is anyway to obtain new CPUs of specific steppings, or is it just all based on luck? Depending on what info I gather here, I'd like to order my new Opty in the next day or so, probably from newegg since they have all of the socket-939 Optys in stock (unless someone knows of a better source?), and would just like to make the best possible decision. Thank you in advance for any information that might help me make this call.
Your best bet for getting a good stepping is buying used; whether it's off ebay or the FS forum here or elsewhere.
About the 165-185 steppings, a 185 or 180 or the same stepping as a 165 will probably clock better, but there are no guarantees. CCBBE 185's have a good chance of getting to 3GHz with stock or up to 1.4 volts, while that's unlikely for other chips (though it is possible). 165 CCBBE chips have more variance.. some might only get 2.6 on 1.35 while others get 2.9+.
Take a look at these:Quote:

Very few 180s & 185s in these listings but there are a few ...
Internel temperature sensors?
I'm on water and I put in a CCBBE0613RPMW last week.
I've always gone by the motherboard sensor - which for now is showing at 30 degrees. However, I've since realised that I can get 2 core temperatures from the CPU itself.
I've always tried to stay under 50 degrees CPU temperature, as reported by the motherboard, but even with the motherboard sensor showing 45, the internal CPU sensors are hitting 65.
Given that I've never paid any attention to CPU sensors before, what temperatures should I be staying away from? And how reliable are the internal sensors?
Something else that should help is removing the IHS, that'll be done in the next week or so - out of thermal paste just now, waiting on some MX-1 arriving.
