Tomorrow my Opteron 170 will come back to me... It arrived with 2 pins completely folded (according to the AMD datasheet, 1 pin was for HT and the other was for VDDA).
I decided, although that thing, to try it, and those are 2 rapid tests:

The batch 42 chip ran stable (dual prime) at 2.9ghz with 1.37v. I have it running now at 335x9 ~3.02GHZ w/ only 1.48v for stability. I used this chip for my initial testing and found the computer was completely shutting down as soon as CPU volts went to 1.6v . I thought surely this was a limitation of the chip and tried the other 165 I received. I booted it at 311x9 with default core voltage and ran dual-prime 95 and I determined it was stable at that voltage. I then increased to 1.6v and found that my system yet again would just shut down as soon as it attempted to load windows. Realizing that neither chip was to blame, I immediately went and picked up a truepower2 550w to test with instead of my neo he 500w. I reinstalled my batch 42 core and tried to boot at 1.6v again. Instead of shutting down, the system basically would just freeze with a black screen before loading windows. I spent the weekend testing the batch 42 chip and I am quite pleased with it. As it turned out, 1.6v hasnt been neccesary for ANY speed. 1.37v boots 2.9ghz, 1.41 boots 3.0ghz but requires 1.47v for absolute stability. I have yet to reinstall the batch 70 chip, but I am sure it will behave similar to this one.
FYI- I am looking for a home for my secondary chip.

wow, go newegg!
Ordered a couple of 170's just to test my luck. Will let you know when I receive them and test them out.
I am HOPING for 2.8 stable, since the memory can do that!
got a 170 from Meat Frog today. CCB1E 0550VPMW. Took the lid off already and put it under my Storm block. Its been priming for an hour 2900 1.42v so far. I have tried for 3Ghz but even at 1.55 core 0 failed after a few minutes. Although 3Ghz is not prime stable, im sure 3 or even 3.1Ghz will be benchable.
That's too bad. My core 0 gave me trouble. When I was priming at 2900 at 1.488v, I thought my chances for 3G were slim. Fortunately mine scales pretty well with voltage. Not the best CCB1E 0550VPMW but it goes 2700, 1.3v; 2800, 1.4v; 2900, 1.488v; 3000, 1.5v, 3050, 1.536v, all prime stable. Gonna pop the lid and put under storm. I had to keep the load under 40C for those results. Hopefully that can be accomplished 24/7 with water and no top.:D
interesting.. maybe my vpmw is the same.. seems to follow that pattern.. I was hoping it might scale well at the top end.. I need just about the same vcore to stablize 2.9ghz.. 1.475 + 2.8% (or whatever the lowest v bump addition is). I thought 3ghz was not an option as a result.. but who knows.. maybe it will be? I can only hope. :)
Just remember to keep temps below 42ishC.
I think I have reached the thermal limit with this cooling. Core 0 fails Prime 95 @ 2800Hz in 20 seconds. I am happy with 2700 on air. Can't wait to see what it will do on water in the next couple of weeks.

ya, these chips naturally run HOT. With the IHS on i was hitting 47-48C, but now that it is naked it sticks at 38C dual priming... It does idle a few degress higher than my old 0546XMPW too. This one sticks at 31-32C where as my old one was at 28-29C.Quote:

hi guy's its been a while! I've been having another go at getting my 170 higher than 2.8ghz, my progress is good but it doesn’t seem to make much sense to me. I started by upping my clock to see if i could get it prime stable at 2.85ghz but it wouldn’t have any of it! would only prime for an hour and a bit. I thought maybe if I upped the vcore to 1.475v that would help matters, well pretty much instantly it failed prime, dropped it to 2.8ghz again and it wouldnt even run stable, just like 2.85ghz it failed instantaneously. temps seemed fine at around 50 load. I dropped it back to 1.4v and it ran stable at 2.8ghz again like b4, I though why not have a stab at an even lower vcore. I tried 1.36 and to my amazement it ran stable at 2.85 and then 2.9ghz. but would fail 2.95mhz after about 15mins. again i tried a lower vcore of just 1.34 volts and I managed to get it to x2prime at 3ghz until it stated to get dark outside :) heres where im at...
http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/6317/134v7zi.th.jpg
anyone had similar experience with there dual core?? this goes against what I believe about overclocking cpu's. at one point i was stuck at 2.7ghz with this 170, nothin seems straight forward with this chip!!

I had the same experience with my CCB1E... I started out running it up to 1.55v to get 2.8ghz, at 1.6v it was shutting down.... So after eliminating the PSU as a possible problem, I backed it down to stock and just started raising vcore when it needed it... Lo and behold I was at 2.9ghz default vcore and only needed .10 volts more to hit 3.0 . I remember saying,"Oh my gawd!" when it booted happy at 2.9 @ default......:eek:Quote:

I would use blend test as well as it stress both the cpu and memory. Large fts stress mostly memory, small ffts all cpu stress.
I go my 609fpaw today but i cant try it out till i get my water cooling up (waiting for paint on radiator to harden). The suspense is killing me :D
i just tried that but it wont listen to me. the highest it went up to was 70% cup usage and that was for a sec or 2. i manually set the affinity and still not at 100. am i doing something wrong?
Here yah go, follow this to the letter and it will work.
I use the same .exe for both my SP2004s, just select core 0 in one and 1 in the other ;)
thanks. i got it working now. cpu usage 99-100. so far its running fine. no errors. its only been 2 tests but its looking good. you think ill be fine if i go ahead and try to go for 2.4ghz and then run prime again? also, are my settings ok to increase the FSB to 270?Quote:

I just ran some blend test on prime to test ram stability, and had to increase my cpu voltage by 0.5v just to be stable at the same clockspeed than small ffts. It also raised my temps by 5C. I think I'll just stick to what's small fft stable and 32M for ram.:p:

Prime95 is 2h stable and counting.
My temps and vcore seem high. What do you guys suggest? I want to keep this processor for the next 3-4 years so I want to preserve it as much as I can while extracting the most from it. Any suggestions comments would be helpful.
Computergeek, you're vcore is fluctuating because the capacitors on your mobo can't hold it firm/aren't that great(its common), not too big of a deal. On my board, for certain voltages it will keep it stable and locked, while on other voltages it will be a lil' bouncy(if it's too bouncy or the bounce is too great[ie 1.5->1.39] then you should consider changing your voltages to something more stable!)
Yes, the Temps seem kind of a high, then again it is a program reading, but still...I'm surprised they are that high with a scythe ninja and the fans blasting, I suppose you could try: opening the side of your case, applying some AS5(if you haven't already..it'll only knock off a couple degree's anyways), or buying a new cooler, haha.
Goodluck, nice rig.
Well, that's going to be impossible when the ambient spikes to 80+ F... which it will this summer.. but anyways.. yeah, I do want to keep it as cool as I can.. I have removed my video cards from my cooling loop and went with zalman vf700s on them.. I might ditch this apogee for something else.. but not sure what's going to perform much better.. well, better enough to make a worth while difference.. maybe a storm.. anyways..Quote:

i just ordered a 165 from monarch, if it does better than my 0546xpmw then i'll have a chip up for sale...
well, either way i guess i'll have a chip up for sale :D

perhaps time to look for a floppy and go for a new bios version
I put some AS5 on there but I don't know if it has set in yet. According to the AS5 manual on the website it takes approximately 200 hours to achieve any results. I've only had my comp up for a week so I don't think AS5 has set in yet. Hopefully once i get my vf900 and my stupid ass fan controller/temp monitor stops beeping witht he vf900 plugged in I will recheck temps. BTW what do you think about the vcore? 1.5 too much?Quote:

Awesome
4MHz behind my naked 0608 on water :eek: anyway hurry it up lol, just prime for 10mins and keep raising until it fails :lol: I usually start at some rediculous speed (2.95+stock volts) to make sure I don't waste any time if it will do that. Then back down in increments of 2-5 htt, depending on how stable it was (or don't back down at all :eek: )
Well the 170 ccbwe 609fpaw i got does not better than my 165. Runs at 2500 stock vcore, then it needs 1.55v for 2.8 which is the same as my 165.
Rather dissapointed, oh well off to ebay this one goes.
my 0608 is here..... shutting down to test! :D
Hmz... >2960 it's being an ass to me. I'll give 702-2BTA a try, brb :D
Hmmz... Looks like something else is limiting here! Well, running now 3GHz dual prime @ 1.39V now.
Why I think something else is fcuking with me? Both cores would fail within a minute before raising the HTT volts. On the other side, I've tested this board up to 340*9 with my old single core 146. Well, I'll keep you guys posted. 5mins @ 3GHz now :banana:
I'm needing 1.55v for 2950mhz and temps are skyrocketing, I think this chip has a lot to gain from IHS removal.
51C right now, I just had a 165 the other day that did 40-44C at the same volts with the IHS on.
It'll be comin off soon...
Yeah my ccb1e 170 was also damn hot with IHS on... Removed, problem solved :slapass:Quote:

Any of you 0610 guys finding that it doesn't like 3x htt multi when it's close to 1000? 323x3 for 2.9ghz works fine, but 333x3 results in immediate freeze on windows load. set 333x2, boots fine and priming 3GHz@1.475v :) gonna go 1 step lower when the song finishes
new chip from monarch btw, I'll be selling probably since no way it's gonna be as good as the 0608.
Okay it's at 1.5(during prime voltage goes down to 1.46) right now with two instances of prime running it has lasted 8 hours and counting at around 59C load. Again, Opteron 165 2700mhz, A8R32-MVP, G.Skill 2gb HZ
Thats what I experienced also! I have upped the LTD voltage and now been priming for over an hour @ 9*334, 3x HTT and 1,39Vcore. I like this chip :fact:Quote:

1,3+10% actually... But, I'm going for an overnight run at this voltage and see if I can lower it afterwards. It's like 1.50a.m. now :slapass: Oh, and on 704-2BTA. Will try the latest beta again tomorrow. :toast:Quote:

The first one I got was a CCBWE and went straight to Ebay.
Hope the wait was worth it. ;)
EDIT: 2.7 on air def vcore. Priming at 2.8, not sure I can get much more due to temps.
Hitting mid 50s with SI 120. :stick:
Maybe 50-100. But you should compare other results with your cooler. The temps might drop like 5°C but I don't think you'd gain anymore then 100MHz.Quote:

I run an 80mm fan over my PWMIC it helps a LOT
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=358
On the previous page... Up to 2950 @ stock. But I think my motherboard is being an ass to me @ high HTT now. 3105@1.5 failed in 15mins....
2.9 GHz on 1.33v, better than my chip, nice
if you really want 3.1 Ghz you gotta use more than 1.5v and i'm guessing its starting to get too toasty?
Not really! The IHS is on and this thing keeps amazing me! Temp is still 38-40°C under full load! Now @ 1.52V... About the max I will give it since I ran my CCB1E 0609FPAW ats this volts too. 100MHz less :slap:Quote:

Shoot man with 1.52v i get ~50c load, and this is good watercooling with a good mount. Your IHS gives unusually good contact...

@ChkDsk & Repoman have you tried even higher vLDT? for 3100 you need 345HTT so 1.5vLDT could help.
