Try using a 166 divider, (just try it) 11x, and raise up the HTT to get your speeds. I don't know why, but the ones I've tried and seen several others also, seem to prefer it.[IMG]http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7...102144v1an.jpg[/IMG]

I just got my oem opty from the egg today, hoping to get the 0543 caybe that others recently got and seem to be overclocking REALLY well. I was kinda disappointed when I opened it and it was a CAB2E 0546BPMW...However I am currently at 2.92 with 8m super pi stability (haven't tried farther here yet, still testing) but I tried to raise it a little further to 2.94 and started fail super pie like crazy, and went as far as 1.71v with no improvement. I really want to hit 3 ghz so any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

What was the Vcore in order to run the chip @2.92Ghz?

Right now its at 1.59 v. I have homebuilt watercooling and my load temps are around 45-46c. I will post some screens soon with more info but right now im at work :( , I have a feeling its my ram cause not only is mt UTT REALLY finicky but I am also not yet used to the mem controller.

You was close to completely anticipate my second question... ;) What divider did you use? Did you ever tweak them appart from the CPU in order to see how they could really perform? Your combination of Geils' might take about 280MHz in 1:1 (if not higher)...
However, I have tested 2 weeks ago a good Opty 146 (CABYE0540APMW) which was able to do more than 3.1GHz under water and the improvement of the max bootable frequency was as follow:

MHz Volts
3170 1.71
3160 1.65
3150 1.59
3120 1.56

Sure there are not max stable values, but they give a good idea of the expectable improvement above let's say 1.60V (max stable frequency was 3118MHz @1.70V with 54°C during OCCT)... But your chip might be different, some love volts while other do not :D And it also depends on the cooling, but on some chips you could hit the wall even if you use a good air cooling.
Good luck; Let's see your screens...

Mascaras that´s the best you can have,i dont think that putting de multiplier to 10 you're going to have any gain in performance.

wow, you're lucky your processor isn't a molten piece of silicon with 1.8v. LTD is a fancy way of saying HTT. You want to make sure the LDT multiplier keeps the HTT below 1GHz. If you leave it at Auto it'll go with the multi that the cpu designates. If the cpu supports 1GHz HTT then it will have a 5x multi and 305x5 is way too high for the processor to handle. Read the OC threads and guides thoroughly before doing anything more. You are really lucky you didn't fry your cpu at 1.8v.

No, I put the voltage of 1,8 on the chipset, not the CPU:nono:. Even if I put the LTD to 1 the htt does not go over 305

Alright, my mistake then. :) You didn't specify what you were giving 1.8v to and I assumed it was the cpu from your posting.

just got an opteron 148 for the comp im building my friend. its a cabye 0542 fpmw, got a dfi nf4 sli-d and 2gb of g.skill ddr500. so i found the max htt of the board to be approx 350, the max ram to be like 270 and max ht to be 1200ish, but when i go to find the max cpu clock, this chip simply will not overclock at the 11x multiplier. it ran 350x8, but whenever i try to run it with 11x multiplier. it just refuses to post unless its at 200htt. anyone know why it might be doing this? hopefully i dont have similar problems with the 165 i just got for myself.

You want to set your LDT/FSB Ratio to a number that will get you as close as you can get to 1000. Example...300 you want 3.0x ; 250 you would want 4.0x

Also try using the 10.0 Multiplier for the CPU...they seem to like it better. Try something like 300x10.0 at around v1.500 volts with a 166 Divider on your memory to start.

$AUD vs $USD. :slap:
$230AUD vs $238USD ($314AUD).

Besides my 146 does that! :p:

$260AUD for that CPU. Which is $190USD? :cool:

well, i tried everything within the bios to make the darn thing boot at anything past 200x11 at the 11 mult and it was a nogo, 10mult wasnt working either. so i flashed to 704-2bta and now its working, im gonna assume that was the problem, the bios was really finnicky

CABYE 0543FPMW

Finally got a 24/7 100% 24 hour prime stable, cold-bug free configuration that I use for day to day gaming, folding general use (see first image).. 3.3 is a piece of cake, but I can't leave the system idle for terribly long without some load on it. Good for benching though (see second image). 3.4 is a brick wall, can't seem to hit it.

Popped the IHS, temps improved dramatically (10-12C load decrease)

I managed to run some 3d01 tests at 3.2Ghz too, even temps were getting high (IHS still on).
This is what I managed so far, but I still need to play and search a little more with the dividers.

Hey guys, been busy with getting ready for xmas and all, I actually traded my cab2e 0546 bpmw for my friend's cabye 0535 xpmw but it actually clocked worse so im gonna trade back since he doesn't overclock his stuff (using a server board :( ) once I get it back expect some screens! and btw I think the dfi's temp sensor is a little off in windows, cause I idle at 33-34 in windows but in the bios it says 38-39 so I am debating on popping off the IHS. What are the chances it'll give me anymore ocing room or is it not worth it?

What do you guys think??

Does anyone know if a waterblock will fit the chipset if only using the top PCI-e slot with a x1800XT and the waterblock?

Thts because in your bios the CPU does not idle, like it does in windows. The OS provides a function (cant remember the name) tht makes the CPU idle when it is not being used, hence the lower temps. Hopefully someone can provide the proper name for wht im talking abt

From the recent results in this thread, you can tell tht it is winter time in a lot of places! I remember when this thread first started tht there wernt not many peeps with SS over 3.3Ghz on air/water but now it has become quite common :p: . If it gets real cold here in Cyprus, which is a big if, the lowest i think i can hope for is arnd 2-3C I will take my case outside and push some numbers.

All the results are making my chip feel inferior, LOL :D

I finally got my new opteron 144. It is a CABGE tho but its very voltage loving.

This happened when it was put into a DFI nForce 4

What do you think of it?

I just need to buy my own DFI board:P

Yeah No problem. I use this and it gives me 2mm more clearance than the stock solution. http://www.koolance.com/shop/product...3884978641f369

The clearflex is just as good and much cheaper.

The 12 pump is a good one, but I prefer ac pumps and a relay. A lot of pumps out there...Make a solid investment .. is my advice. Iwaki is my first choice every time. And I personally use a pressure rated md30 japanese motor.

I've used Danger Den on all my builds for the last 2 1/2 years. I went back to my Maze3 for some retro action!

Another note... the full body x1800 cooler won't do much better than a gpu block and some ramsinks. If budget is not a concern then go for it. Personal experience is I don't keep my video cards long at least not on water there whole life. So, the fullbody coolers I bought for my 6800's were just useless paperweights to the tune of $240 until I sold them months later.

What th f#%$ is going on here :(
Apart from everything i tried the following...
a) 11x273 with 166div -> OCCT stable ;)
b) 10x300 with 166div -> not stable :(

So ive looked up the HTT since i left it on auto (tried 3 before), 1092 on a) and 900 on b), vcore was 1,45v in both cases, nothing chaged except multi and htt of course. SO first you will think its the ram, so i tested with winmemtest and aborted it by myself after 600%. So whats going on is th Expert not able to do 300 htt ? What would you guys recommend me ?
My other Hardware is, Opteron 148, X1800XT, 600w Powerstream, X-Fi and 2x160 Hitachi Sata2 @ RAid 0. I would appreciate your help :)
12-25-2005, 12:43 PM

I have a couple 148's and I found the 10x to be somewhat uncooperative as well. Just don't work as well even when ram is not an issue. It is not the board imo. ***edit***I had a 146 and it was fantastic with the 10x.
12-25-2005, 01:12 PM
ic3m4n2005

Had a 146 too no prob here too ;)
Another damn thing is that the chip goes to 2980 with 1,41v and after this mark its stable at 3ghz but 3030 no go even with 1,5v, normal thing too ?? Was hoping for around 3100 :(

Hmmm what stepping is your? is it a cabge 0545? nice clocks!! :toast:

what vcore?

I got mine of ebay....not the best stepping. Does 2.75 GHz at 1.5 V, but thn is held back by temps :(

Here is alittle something so far for you guys...

4 sticks of OCZ Plat Rev. 2 at 280FSB 3-4-4-8-2T and still going.

Opteron @ 2.8 @ v1.400

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...148/280x10.jpg

Also to add...I have noticed something... with the same voltage from 2.7 to 2.8 the temps are lower with 2.8...I wonder why that is...also my Chipset and PWMIC is lower as well by a few degrees.

273x11.0 @ v1.500
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...148/273x11.jpg
With these settings and HIS x1800XT @ 690/800 (Stock BIOS)..

Well which overclocks better? Um...from either of the two if I was to buy without knowing I would get the Opteron. So my opinion is keep the Opteron.

It all depends on how fast the fan is running and what TIM you are using surely (assuming you got a good seating when you mounted it!).

I have the fan on a constant 2000rpm with AS5, and with 1.45V it idles at about 35 to 38 depending on room temp. Load goes up into the lower 50's. My case cooling is pretty crappy as well (single 120mm exhaust @ 5V, and PSU 80mm) because I like my rig quiet :)

this is so strange. the opty 150 i have overclocks EXACTLY the same in my board as the prior SD 3700+ I had. It must be my board (needs high voltage (the same voltage) and same max clockage).

Anyone ever heard of this on dfi nf4?

Maybe I should disconnect 1 or 2 of the power connectors, ha.

man i dont want to board swap due to water cooling cramping things up, etc. what a hassle that will be...

Order water cooling stuff. Hopefully will have it soon. Can't wait to under go higher clocks.

Anyone buy an opty 144 recently off Mwave? What stepping did you get?
12-25-2005, 06:38 PM
overcrash86

in europe the last stepping are :

CAB2E 0545 MPMW
CACJE 0546 APBW

the second are verry bad, impossible to stabilize over 2.5Ghz with more than 1.7v stock cooling, but i've tested only one piece :slap:
i have already one good 144 :banana:

Here are my screens so far. This is the CABYE 0535 XPMW I still have from my friend. I know the time is slow but I'm running a pretty low divider just to get this proc figured out before I really start tweaking it. Can anyone post some A64 tweaker screens off some similar UTT like this geil, I seem to have problems with this ram and I dunno if its me or what but it has always seems REALLY finicky, I am used to tccd. Thanks, Happy Holidays!

cajce 0546 BPMW not real good for oc'ing, but would be a good chip for running 24/7. It would do a 32m @ 1.456 at 2972mhz, and a 3005mhz 32m @ 1.55v. Anything more was a no go even with more v. up to 1.66 true. BUT, it had a 57 Tcase and the temp stayed about 11 to 13c on my board. That is about 6c to 8c lower than the other ones which were 63 and 65 Tcasemax chips.

Unfortunet.
I just received 1 148 CACJE 0546 and it OC's to 2.915 265x11 on default stock voltage. 3.0 on just 1.45v. I had mine up to almost 3.2 on 1.55v (290x11) but my RAM took a turn for the worse and now gives errors at almost any speed. Ran stable for me up to 3.135 SuperPi 32M and Multiple 3DMARK05 and 01, when running RAM on 133 divider

Now I have noticed some of you guys using alittle more voltage on the LDT and Chipset...is this needed for stability. I have always left them alone when overclocking my San Diego chip.

Because I cannot Prime at 3.0GHz for nothing. OCCT passes but Prime fails in ~5-10 seconds.
