The reason behind that is due to the simple fact if you state within the open forums that you have something for sale, a troll could very easily contact you privatly to try to do a deal.Quote:

Alright... I see you do this to protect the oblivious users that would pay a noob trader first, etc.
Actually needs to be done, I agree.

Not prime stable. 3.1G@1.424, not stable either.
Edit: it's stock HSF from AMD. I can't boot into windows @3.1g@1.424v anymore, and the temp is very very high, now it's 3.0G@1.424v@48 C idle!

I think I like it without even knowing how it performs...:D
CLint CCB1E is always good Sign and PMW also.
Now you have to show us how your Baby performs.
Dualprimescreens please around 2 Hours thats enough.
Have a nice day i have to got to work.
yup...good to build the trust...that being said... i think most people know who i am by now... LOLQuote:

CCBBE 0610DPMW
I was so happy I decided to order another one but the dang coupon has expired apparently (or maybe it's one use per customer? hmmm).
I ordered Sunday... still hope I get a CCB1E, though a CCBBE would be cool too.
Anyone know what the CCBWE 0551WPMW 165s are like please? ta.
0551 = bad, better OCer than say an x2 4400+, but one of the worst opteron batches.
Why do I always get the crap steppings!!!!! AAAGHH!
Never once have I had a good stepping CPU.
your cacje are very good 300x10 :DQuote:

I reckon. whew. :)
EDIT: I think the reason for my higher than normal temps on water is that I have two 7800GTXs in the loop before the cpu, granted I do have a 120mm black ice pro between them and the cpu also, but that will only work so well.. might be time to spray the fins out on that rad.. I want to re-work my WC soon to get my cpu on a dedicated loop..
I always get bad steepings too urz :(
Hello I Have 165 0604 CCBWE, Prime stable 2.5 ghz @ 1.30 volts. but when i take it to 2600 it needs 1.41 to be prime stable .
Could it Be the Board A8n-sli premium?
i have Also One Ultra-D laying around. - Otherwise great but didnt work so well with the Memory Controller and G.Skill Rams.. tried about milloion diffrent BIOS versions raging from betas to ancient Default bios
A8n-sli Premium has been rock solid this far. could 2500mhz be the sweet spot, Cpu is 28 idle and 40 on stress... Ofcourse on h2o.
Psu is Fortron Bluestorm 500w
Well every CPU is different, mine needs 1.425 to do 2.6 and 1.5 for 2.7.
Not all 165 do 2.9 on stock volts (which would be great :D)

finally dug up the suicide shot from my CCB1E 0608MPMW 165
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...l/902bbc43.jpg
That was a really quick shot, didn't even do all the optimizations. Watercooling in a 69F room. Idling around 36c. The chip has over 3.4 Ghz in it.
Thats pretty sweet Abs.
do you just put a short-cut for cpu-z in your startup folder for those suicide shots? ;)
No man, clockgen and F5/F7 method :)
werd, windows wont boot at suicide speeds.Quote:

When will you remove the tops on your 170 and 165??Quote:

damn.. that's lookin like it's gonna be a 3.1ghz 24/7 chip. :toast:

my chip needs vcore 1.5 with the premium to be stable at 2.85, with the DFI board the same cpu is stable with only 1.39v.
:confused: I only have a set of 165's, and the top is already off of my personal one. The other one stays on, as it's looking for a home atm.Quote:

2665mhz is also the highest speed i can get,if i set it higher it doesnt boot into windows.
I ordered a Opty 170 CCBWE 0609 FPAW, what can I expect?
A lot of Fun.And surely something around 2800Mhz Primestable.
actually, i'm gunning for 3000 prime stable :-) which stepping should i get? Could i get a CCB1E somewhere?
Good luck...you're going to need it:stick:Quote:

tempted to RMA but I think i'll have to pay a 25% re-stocking fee
would you guys push the Vs further?

Just like the 0551UPMW I got, mine might have been worse, couldnt do more than 2.74ghz @ 1.55v.Quote:

cancel that..... just failed at 5 mins. :mad:
EDIT: wont do 2.7 @ 1.54 consider it RMAd. It was 10% re-stocking fee = £21.
Yep, I had the same stepping -2750 and nothing more.Quote:

:slapass: Don't do that man, we're lucky AMD even gives us chips like this for $300.. I remember back in the day when an X2@2.7 was quite an accomplishment. :stick:Quote:

RMA'ing bad overclocking CPUs is retarded. ya'll don't seem to get the point that #1.) RMA'ing is for damaged, unworking CPUs. This means (let me spell this out for you) a. the CPU will not post at stock speed, voltage, in its native platform. b. the CPU was not overclocked, overvolted, tampered with, etc. #2.) people who RMA based on bad overclockers are not only dishonest, it's a hassle for vendors like myself to deal with the overload of perfectly fine products being returned because some tweedle-dum never read the COA. I'd rather spend time fixing grandma's machine than servicing a "poor" overclocking CPU.

PS> If i were that particular retailer, I'd test the CPU when it got in and if it posted, send the freakin' thing right back to you, sans 50% for being a pain in the ass.

Is this a good motherboard for my 165 opty?
I think my epox is holding me back and want to buy a new board with a x1900xtx :cheer:
It's great! New AE0 rev's are awesome
Hmz thx for the AE0 rev's tip,i need to ask for that by my dealer if i go buy 1,i keep that tip in my mind :rocker:Quote:

Ok i can sell the opty and buy a new one,the only problem is that my opty is naked (no ihs) and i think normal people dont wanna buy a cpu without ihs lol :slobber:
People will buy it, sold a naked 165 0550vpmw for $340 :cool:

Do you really think people like the owner(s) of AMD & the shop i bought the cpu from got to where they are today by being 'nice' & 100% honest about stuff like this?!
Please... gtfo
public forum, public response. you know the rules. you don't want someone responding, don't post.Quote:

There are rules for my submission of broken processors to AMD for repair and if i'm going to sack $400-odd dollars into a customer who routinely "RMA's" parts, I'm going to get really pissed, really fast. (unless i'm too big to give a crap at which point i've lost all real connection with my customers anyway). btw, you wanna know why AMD raised pricing on the X2s? it has something to do with certain large companies doing stuff they shouldn't....oh, but you didn't hear it from me....Quote:

Every chip that you return means that someone has to eat costs. AMD has to eat costs to test your "fake" broken chip, the retailer has to eat the cost of a replacement chip (until such a part is returned from the TSC), etc. etc. in the grand scheme of things, 1 chip here and there may be ok, but you start having smacktards everywhere RMA'ing based on their deluded sense of "stock abilities" are, everyone loses. as far as honesty goes, i'm absolutely offended that you take the attitude you do about that. See, my approach is to be 100% honest in ALL my dealings with EVERYONE. That means if i have to say, "sorry, you don't get a refund for sending me a chip under false premise..." then i'll go to court STAKING MY REPUTATION on that honesty. you're not in my position and i daresay, it's quite evident.Quote:

Either way its unethical.
well I got my 170 from zip in today. ccbwe 0609fpaw. It will be going in an abit at8 32x. May be water cooled.
Ok well I have had enough of this thread and the attitudes that people are getting constantly throughout the entire thread.
Before I LOCK this thread, I would like to make a few points.
1st, if you post a comment on an open forum, then by default, you are asking for someone to reply to your statement.
2nd, As far as RMA's are concerned, yes, we are outrageouslly picky on how people discuss this on our forums. In the case of the previous post.
~ a, if you RMA simply because of a 'bad overclocker', you have other issues than feeling you're getting ripped off.
~ b, if you decide to RMA a perfectly good peice of hardware, due to a, and you do NOT lie about it. (i.e. you tell them it sucks at overclocking.) and they still give you the RMA, hey, more power to you. However, if you do lie about it, (i.e. you tell them it's broke or whatever.) and RMA it, you are stealing/acting fraudulently, plain and simple.
3rd, there are a few people here who should consider themselves very lucky I am not handing out warnings and bans due to the flames, flamebaiting and just plain out ignoring the forums rules & guidelines.
Last, but by the gods not the least, If I see a single thread b***hing about this thread being closed or asking why it was closed, I will send that person on a 3 day and in the email I will attach this thread and a copy of the forums rules & guidelines so you can read this thing over the vacation so you can see first hand why I locked this thread.
I seriouslly did not want to do this but by the gods I have posted how many warnings in this thread about staying within the forums rules & guidelines.
Just so it can be seen and to have no excuses that anyone doesnt know where they are...
