About the best I can get on water. Not getting quite the performance at 32m as with my SD. Clocks higher but slower pi. [IMG]http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/8...22443et.th.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2...32305ue.th.jpg[/IMG]
This is my 146 CABYE. It does 2800 @1.37v, 2900 @1.40v but it takes 1.52v for 3000. Stock 4800+ HSF
Looks really good.. Will it go any higher?Quote:

Need to pop the IHS to get some real temps. This su*ks with a Storm Extreme, LOL
Myopty just got here its a cabye 0543 and does 2750 at stock volts. Maybe it will do a little more. After raising to 3000 I had to continually raise the volts to 1.6 and the temps shot up to 50c with an rbx and bix2. Now I'm at 2900 at 1.5-1.525v (windows and bios) and my temps are around 46-48c. Do you guys think I should remove the IHS. I think I do.
My venice would hover around 38c load.
Now I'm around 50c again. Is this a save temp????
Crucsh pads, will i need them????
Opterons run hotter than Venice's.
As long as your load temps stays <55°C you are safe.
I wouldnt run it with higher temps 24/7...
If your IHS aint seated right, you might have a temp drop after removing it, but I also heard from a lot of people, that they had almost the same, or even higher temps after removing the IHS, because you have less surface to deal with the same amount of heat...
I have the same stepping and my chip runs very similar. The temps are a major issue on mine too.. on air it loaded close to 60C with an XP90 anywhere near 1.6V.. on my vapo LS it still runs too hot.. I'm tempted to pop the IHS tooQuote:

If I buy from zzf, should I get a 144, 146, 148, or 165?
SD 3700+= Opteron 148
ordered a few 148 retail's for builds from newegg. all of them are CABYE 543FPMW's in case anyone was wondering..just came in today.
I took off the IHS and the temps are higher now. So I have to go read up on how to apply the artic silver on a bare cpu. If I were you I'd wait because your problemmight not be the IHS. It could just be an extremely hot cpu. Who knows. Oh and if you're going to takeoff the IHS use a razor blade froma mach3 or a quattro or some kind of shaving razor. I tried both and the shaving razor made it very easy. The other razors were worthless. No wonder so many broken cpus.
I ordered on this past weekend (Sat) for a new build also, thanks for the info.Quote:

Where should I buy an opteron 148? egg, monarch, or zzf?
Just read the threads to find your most desired stepping then find where people are getting them from. I got 2 cabye 0543 fromthe egg and It will do 2950 so far. It is basically like paying 230 for fx 57 performance.
lemonlime I don't know if I can suggest removing the IHS. The temps dropped a lot, but I don't think our cpus will hit anything much higher than 2950. My PWMIC is at 64c right and more voltage doesn't seem to help. I'll probably just abuse the chip for a day or two with prime95 and then I'll see if I can get it higher.
I should add that I have only messed around with the 11 multi.
My cpu is stable @ 300x9 on stock volts with un-tweaked memory =]
Yeah so is mine. Actually its around 2750. I wonder how much difference different multis make.
Also do any of you know whether 65c in the pwmic is dangerous???
Just got my 148 from ZZF today, CABYE 0543 FPMW.
Air-cooled w/XP90C. 32M pi stable @ 3025MHz w/1.55V.

Yeah its cool to be there on stock volts, but I was thinking that with more volts I'd go a lot further. Right now its looking like I'll top out at 2950.
I have the same chip as jgwild so who knows. I'll have to mess around with it some more.
My CABYE 0543 as per my sig, low Vcore :D
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/alpha0ne/1.jpg
Something is jacked with my set up because I am using the same voltage as above and my pwmic is around 50c. WTF.
Actually 53c to be exact. Maybe I need new mobo????
Have you lapped the chipset HSF and applied ceramique or AS5 ??Quote:

yasoumalaka,
Your readings are safe. No need to worry about it unless it goes >70ºC.
Most people have a fan either on their cpu or chipset which means more air flow on PWMIC and lower temps.
Good point. I'm a little slow today.
Here's mine. CABYE 0543 I believe. (too lazy to pop off the hsf and check lol)
Not too great, but I havent' figured out the ASRock 939dual-sata2 board bios options yet (I want my dfi :(). I also can't figure out memory dividers, for some odd odd reason, it's auto-setting to the 166mhz option. Crucial Ballistix 2x256, FYI.

Like you I'm using watercooling, so I installed an old Zalman (which is very silent) pointing at the mofset area. Temps dropped from ~70 C to 35 C, so I wonder if this sensor is really accurate...Quote:

For those wonder'n what stepping neweggs got. The 148 i ordered friday came in today and is a CABYE 0543FPMW
k, a 146 CACJE 0546BPMW, won't prime at this yet but I have one foot in FX-57 territory :) :
http://www.0wned.org.uk/pics/shots/146-2g8spi32a.JPG
BIOS voltages: vcore 1.425, vdimm 2.8; stock HSF 30C idle, 42C load.
More vcore coming right up. Looks as if it's made for a bit of phase. Good.
Edit: priming with 1.45 vcore, 1.49 indicated.

CABYE 0543 FPMW its a 148, so far at 2.5 w/ auto in bios for core voltage, not much i know, but i take it slow, will keep you posted.
Well mine tops out at 2950. My temps are a bit high. 50-51c with IHS off. I guess this is safe.
How do different multis affect the OCing. I haven't tried any except 10 and 11.
I'm keeping mine at 2930Mhz. It seems like the optimal frequency for my chip.
Same stepping as the 146 I got, with almost identical results.Quote:

Too true! It's game stable at 2.8/1.45v and I've booted at 2.92/1.55v. Daren't do too much at that as the temps really start to climb with stock HSF. Gotta mod my case, then it'll be Vapo LS time. :cool:Quote:

Well that was funny. I just reset everything to default in the bios to transfer some files before the reinstall and I got the blue screen. Maybe my hdd is messed up??? I have 2 new ones laying around so I can test this. If it is WD will be on my sh1t list.
Has anybody seen a good thread on windows corruption from too much OCing? Is it needed? I was always thinking my setting were screwed, until I got random reboots at stock with my venice. It would be cool if there was a program that would detect corruption. Is there one??

My CAB2E 0545 CPMW is at 2700 MHz with 1.408 volts. Still needs burning in...Failed prime 4 times at this speed, 1st for 17 mins, then 22, then 35, and now its been priming for over an hour :) *touches wood like mad*
Is it just me, or do these chips run quite hot? I'm at 44*C under full load at these speeds and volts.....My venice which does 2610 MHz didnt exceed 44*C at even 1.53 volts. :confused:
Fedex just dropped my 148 from newegg....retail box stepping
CAB2E 0545CPAW ordered from newegg on Friday 12/9/05.
Will post back with results asap....may be a while though
cause the whole a64 thing is new to me.
my opty 148's been running a day now at 280x10 1.5vcore solid as a rock. I'll let her run here a couple more days before i crank it up some more.

How has your mem bandwidth improved with these chips. Mine has been the same at lower speeds. I can't get the patriot back to ddr600 1t though, but like I said the same bandwidth. So I thgink these chips are also very cool in regard to mem bandwidth too.
HI,
Please can someone tell me which memory would be the best for ocing opty 144:confused: I haave a chance to buy XMS3202v5.2 but no idea if it is any goood, the timing are 2-3-3-5:confused: Thx
Right now the Samsung UCCC gigabyte sticks are very solid and the best buy for overclockers, IMHO.Quote:

I might have to take a try at taht 273x11.0 @ v1.500 and see if it is Prime Stable...
Finally got my Opteron under water. 37C load on 1.4v @ 2.95GHz (CABNE 0530APMW). 3GHz was stable with 1.45v for 8 minutes before Prime95 failed, and since I'm a stabability slut I dropped her down to 2.95GHz for now, until I get some more free time to tweak it.
I'll post some screenshots when I can, the highest I got was 45 minutes Prime stable @ my current settings, which for now is good enough.
Hey guys, im having trouble getting my Opty prime stable. I can prime @ 2740mhz~ @ 1.40v for hours without errors, but i can't quite get 2800mhz stable.
The odd thing is, i can run 2980mhz @ 1.54v through SuperPi 1M, and get a screenshot of 3080mhz @ 1.58v, but i can't prime for more then half an hour on 2800mhz @ 1.52v.
It just seems odd that there is such a large difference between "benchable" clocks and 100% primeable clocks. Heat shouldn't be an issue as i was previously running a 3200+ @ 1.65v, 2600mhz prime stable (10hr+) on the same setup. I've reseated the HSF (xp-120) twice, with no better results, or no worse for that matter.
So far i've done about 20hours of CPUBurnK7 (2 overnight sessions, 10 hours) to try and burn it in, but it doesn't seem to be doing much.
Ideas? :confused:
my opty 148 CABYE 0543 FPMW arrive next monday , i will post results then , i hope it is good , so far for what i saw in the forum its not a bad steping , i have WC , DFI ULTRA-D and 2x512MB BH5 , lets see what i get .
