Going to let this finish while I'm gone to break the 24-hour mark, then it's time to break 3GHz+ and show the VPMW's who's boss. :cool:

lordy...i gotta figure out my memory divider on my A8n32-sli...
so far, clocking the CCBWE 0609 CPAW @ 2.25 (10x225) with a 1:1 mem divider.

I have all my equipment connected through a APC UPS Power Backup, with the internal battery os I had clean power. The APC has a three prong plug, so it was definitely grounded.Quote:

Someone told me that "You can't call yourself a serious overclocker until you
have pushed things past their limits at least once." I guess now I qualify;)
2950-sorry for the typo :) used to be 2.58 but now she runs at 1.55Quote:

they get very hot despite the fan blowing directly on them.
Otherwise, I ve never had a CPU like this before:D
BTW the CCB1E 0609 FPAW looks promising as well
EDIT: dual prime stable SP 2005 6H , tried 3DM 06demo loop / good for testing the stability in games for 6 H -OK /
sweet. man.. I am getting excited to get my chip.. whew... came home for a few days to chill from the folks house drama.. wow... I might have a day or so to play with the chip before I have to head back.. mom's not doing well.. uugh!
wow sounds like the new steppings are pretty darn good, I'm glad I cancelled my order a few months ago for an Opty 170, looks like Opty 165 here I come!!!
Btw, what are the choice boards these days? Are they still the DFI NF4 Ultra's?? Expert? I'm going to need a new board I think, not sure if its my board or psu, but my voltages are not stable, they fluctuate while priming the chip. I don't trust it.
In case you don't want to use SLI (or maybe you want to use CF) I'll wait for the new RD580 from DFI, shouldn't be more than 1 month away.
I`m still waiting for my CCB1E 0609 EPAW to arrive. Any other got some results on that stepping yet?
Got my new opty today :D , strange stepping (ccbwe 0602 bpmw)
Tcase max 57c Thermal ofset -3
Testing now @ 2.7Ghz 1.475 think heat is stopping me here 52c with 2x sp2004 Seems stable but wont go much higher.
Changing my cnps9500 for Sunbeamtech Tunic Tower and ading more fans as soon as they arrive.
Will post screens with better cooling in a few days.
//Smurf
When your thermal ofset is -3 , then you prolly got 55 C at load
49c with thermal ofset -3 = 52 :)Quote:

CCB1E 0608 MPMW again
So weird I can get mine to run dual SuperPi 32M as many times as I want, but SP2004 fails in about 6 minutes for core 0. A strong CPU no doubt. This is killing my power supply though.

You have the wrong tool. I used to use a Xacto knife and it took 30-45min.Quote:

Gotta to get one.

After removing the IHS:
Good
1. CPU stable 2.9G @ 1.39V - before required 1.44V.
2. Can run 3.0G @ 1.41V - not prime stable
Bad
1. CPU not stable @ 3G no matter what voltage
2. CPU temp may have increased? (AS5 not set yet? Reseat waterblock?)
Going topless seems to be a mixed bag. I was expecting cpu temps to decrease but hasn't happened. Voltage has dropped for the same speed which is very good. Do I need to apply more force on the waterblock?
cjoe
If you are doing the same speeds with less volts, then temps have decreased. The sensor is off. IDK why 3 Ghz doesn't run... what's the memory and LDT multiplier at?
VPMWs runs higher on Ram Dividers the 183 and 166 are not bad.
And play with the Subtimings of the Ram. VPMWs are Primadonnas by the Ram Settings.
Received my CCB1E 0609FPAW today :banana:
It's not as good as Gorod's I think :( Temps were incredible high at watercooling so I popped the lid right away :p:
Now dual priming naked @ 3GHz 38°C load @ 1.5V with 2GB's XTC @ 250MHz... So far so good :cool:
CCB1E 0609FPAW ..it's nice to see that some newer steppings are doing good as well...then I just might be able to find a replacement if I manage to destroy my chip when I lap it..:D
Nice Chip ChekDisk.
Better than the 0550UPMW a little bit less powerful than the 0550VPMW.
But so far very good.
Little update... Nothing tweaked yet... Just upped volts and primed :cool:

I have 170 0550 VPMW batch 136 that will load and run winxp at 2800@default vcore but it needs to use a 100 divider 1:2..anything over and it will not run xp
temps suck on air but this chip will dual prime 95 at 53C small fft and not crash on air..BT
Idle temp is 37C
load temps 2700.. 48C, 2800 50C+
I primed the cpu last as quick for 2.5 hrs on small fft on 3/4 divider for ram at 200..load temps were 52/53C@1.43v bios...@1.4v it does prime core 1 ....memory controller is the issue....I tried 9/10 divivder at 1.43v..runs xp but dies prime right away on core 1
It do load and run xp at 3Ghz on 1.5-1.55v..but no go on prime at all even 1:2 divider..seems memory controller is too stresses as it craps prime right away..so not a temp issue
this VPMW is ok on higher temps...however this may be affecting the memory controller????
the memory controller just can not seem to run 2 gigs
I am going to try 623-1 if its on Tmod bios cd...I was surprised at how much my mobo hates 704-2BTA bios

I reseated the waterblock with a thicker layer of AS5. Temps have dropped ~3C and CPU is operating with lower volts. I'm on a 180 divider and LDT multiplier is 3x.Quote:

Anyone, got any suggestions.

dual priming my ccb1e 0550vpmw now with default vcore at 2750... at 2800 core0 bombed out.. doh! I have pics.. IHS is off already, loads around 40c! on water... I did three mounts also.. same temps roughly.. these suckers /do/ run hot.. 2750 was the top end of my ccbwe 0550upmw and is the starting spot for the new chip... right off the bat that makes me quite happy.. pics later.. too busy atm
My idle temps have dropped slightly but my load temps are about the same.Quote:

right on... well, I am on my way out of town for a week, so I am going to prime tonight and then let my machine sit idle for several days letting the AS5 cure.. I will have my wife power the machine off after 5 days or so.. :)
so far so good though.. 2750 @ default vcore...

Nice work, Rev! :toast: Now, let's see it go higher! I can dual prime 2.8GHz 27 hours stock vcore on my "lowly 0608MPMW" and I think I have like 50-60MHz headroom, the almighty 0550VPMW can surely dominate that. :fact: :D
And it appears (from the results I've seen so far) the 0608's are a touch faster than the 0609's....although everyone seems to be on the search for the 0609s? Curious.
I have written about my system failure earlier. A faulty power supply took out my motherboard and hard drives. I was told that my processor "seems fine" but under my new system I am seeing quite a variance in displayed voltages using CPU-Z. I am also noticing that booting into Windows sometimes takes a long time (like 60-70 sec vs normal 15 sec).
With 1.325 V set in BIOS, CPU-Z is displaying anywhere from 1.328V to 1.360V. With my DFI Expert motherboard, the variance was no more than .005V, so it is a pretty big difference.
I am a litle concerned because of the earlier PSU failure, but might be overreacting. The voltage swings might be normal for the MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard with its 3 phase power design vs the DFI NF4 SLI-DR Experts 4 phase power design. If it is normal behavior, I can live with it, but if it is a sign of trouble, I need to do something...
Should I push to get CPU replaced? Should I exchange the motherboard and purchase another DFI Expert?
Check manually with your multimeter. :) Best way to tell for sure what voltage is going in. I can post a picture if you need a reference as to where to check on your board. Also, voltage regulation is handled by the board, not the processor....so either the board you have now is just sketch compared to your last one, or the PSU you have now is sketch. Generally, processors just work, or don't. :)
thx :)Quote:

I think I am going to take the MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard back, and get another DFI Expert motherboard. I have 24 hrs to do so, and I would rather be safe than sorry. The DFI Expert is a tough motherboard to learn on, but I have a pretty good idea of what makes it tick now. I HOPE this will get me back on track again as I am getting pretty tired of tearing things apart.Quote:

Got a question for you guys with dualcores
Think my oc is limited due to heat since i get load temps around 52c with only 1.475v 2.7ghz but cant even boot in to win @ 1.55 9x314 should it not boot and
then crash when heat starts to rise when stressing the cpu ?
crappy cooling atm so will find out when my tunic tower arrives , thinking of popping the lid aswell but does that work with an 800gram cooler ?
When popping the lid can i use a blade that is realy short so i dont harm anything under the lid ? and if so how long should it be ?

Heat isn't the only thing that will prevent your overclock, if that were the case then I would buy phase change tommorow! You may have simply hit 'the wall' with as far as your CPU will go. It could also be heat and it could be down to memory settings.Quote:

The list goes on and on and the only way you are going to know is by testing each component INDIVIDUALLY.
As for running naked then you will be fine with that cooler aslong as it isn't a 'clip-on'. Screwing the cooler onto the motherboard is much safer and there is alot less chance of chipping the core when the IHS is removed by using a screw down type of cooler.
Mobo is good for 340+ HTT
HTT multi 2x
3-4-4-8 factory rated timings mem good for 265+
1/2 divider
so basically iam testing the cpu with the other settings very loose.
no its not a clip on , think its a screw down with backplate on mobo.
I was thinking at first i had hit the wall but i get almost no iincrease in speed at all with voltage over 1.475 , havent seen many optys with the same symptom so i started thinking heat was the limiting factor but i guess 2.7-2.75 could be max for me.
have you raised LDT and chipset voltages?
Nope currently on an asrock dual sata-2 mobo so no chipset or ldt voltage options atmQuote:

Just got my 170 that ordered from Monarch mid last week. It's a CCBWE 0609FPAW. Anyone know anything about these? I won't be able to setup my system for about a week. I did a search in this thread and this chip didn't pop up. Maybe it's a new one, beyond the CCB1E 0609FPAW. Thanks.
Very nice, Grinch:clap: I personaly would like blue better.:)
Maybe someone could help me out.:( Been overclocking my 170 for some time. I have DFI Expert and Ultra-D. On Ultra-D i can run prime 12 hours 2,8ghz 1,375v but with that same clock on Expert fails instantly. It doesn´t matter which bios i use but i did find a setting in bios that affects stability. If i disable SSE/SSE Instructions on Expert it´s as stable as it was on Ultra-D. But disabling that loses performance, can´t even run 3d05.:confused: Pisses me off when people talking about that things overclock better on Expert, doesn´t seem to work on me. The opteron is not the only thing that overclocks less on Expert, have a couple of sets of ram here that seem to work better with Ultra-D(including BH-5).:(
fyi, all the auctions from that guy show the same prime screen, whether it's 0609, 0550, or that 0606Quote:

I sure wish I could make the time to test this chip out. I will likely be able to post some results next Tuesday - just too much work to do, plus I bought all new hardware so I need to set up a lot more than this chip.Quote:

I'll be watercooling this chip after I run it through on a Zalman fan first.
Well 0609 means the chip was made in the 9th AMD work week in 06.. and the second to last two letters in the 5 letter code are what mem controller it is. In this chip-
C-regular production chip
C-dual core 1mb cache
BW/B1-mem controller revisions
E-rev E cpu
Anyway I will have my results tomorrow then
Nice.. so 0550 means those were made just before Xmas.. :)
So the AMD employees were really excited for Christmas vacation and they gave that little extra effort into the chips! Or you could argue that all they could think about was vacation and could care less about the damn chips.:nono:Quote:
