No problem dude. I agree with you if you thought I was RMAing just in hopes I'd get a better set. Right after I filled out the RMA form I ordered a kit from OCZ, Plat Rev. 2. Anyone had good luck with those and their opty?Quote:

What are your MAL and RP settings?
I was trying MAL @ 9.0 and RP @ 6.0

Try reseating the HeatSink one more time real good and make sure that there isn't a huge amount of ThermalPaste on it as well...Too much will hurt you for temps.
Opteron 146 0542FPMW (0280) - SPi 1M 3118MHz @ 1.68v under water.
I suspect my ram is the bottleneck, these sticks do 256MHz at 3.2V but even at 3.6V they do only a few MHz higher.
everything is running perfect now... i t now idles at 30c and loads at 40-42c.. i decided to reseat the waterblock one more time and i use some cheapo artic cooling compound no as5... and bada bing... reg temps now....
Good deal...see I am of some help:DQuote:

more testes and results:

Even one stick is a no go for me...Fails right away.
I am going to test 2 DIMMs in the yellow slots and see what it gets me.
EDIT: Fails right away!
I saw a guy selling Mushkin PC4000 Redlines in the Forum here and I am trying to aquire them from him. I really think it is my RAM due to everyone else getting awesome results from this Stepping.
Mine has some trouble above 300 esp. if the Read Preamble is too low. Also I've found that 11x will boot easier than 10x given apropriate HTT.Quote:

Opterons are weird
Room temp plays a big factor.
Yes they do. But my San Diego 3700+ at same voltage and clock speed runs 6 full Degrees cooler. Nothing else changed. Alot I think has to do with Poor ISH contact.
finally figured it out... my waterblock was clamped down too tight... so i decided to losen it up.... badabing hopefully for the last time i have to go thru this temp idles at 28c now at 250x11 w/ 1.4v
Here are a few quick low Vcore/Vdimm runs, I have since reduced Vcore to 1.312 (1.33v in bios) and will drop down by .025 each day until I find the lowest torture stable Vcore possible :cool: :D

OCCT and SP 32M are very good tests, but in my worthless opinion, not until it can run SP2004 for eight hours is it "totally stable'. Very nice chip BTW.Quote:

But I've noticed the meaning of "total stability" is quite subjective here, lol.
I have the BigWater SE in a Aspire X-Qpack...I like it. It is not a major product like the "Storm" or "Maze" setups, but like the non-expert DFI boards- it does the job and was relatively inexpensive.Quote:

Testing my CAB2E 0546FPAW opty 146 from mwave right now, so far I have got it at 2.2GHz stock voltage, not much I know but I just started testing. It will probably go higher. I will post all my results. I also have a 146 on the way from NCIX, will test that when it gets here and decide which one I want to keep :)
I was just curious what kind of temps some other people have with opterons. I have an XP-90 heatsink. I just got my opty 146. Right now I am at 2.6ghz at almost stock volts. I know with my X2 and all my different venices ive had, my temps for idle/load varied by at least 5 or 6C. Like with my 3200 venice @ 2.5ghz, my idle was like 32C and load was like 38-39C.
Well, my temps with my opty and xp-90 are at 38C idle and about 40-41C load. I was just wondering, seems strange it only changes 1-3C from idle to load.
the temps are probably being reported incorrectly. i have that problem as well
Thats what I was thinking. I have no clue what my temps really are then. Im hoping my load temp is correct and idle is off heh.
Seems strange though, must be the motherboard not completely supporting my opteron maybe. Cause my venices and x2 ive used seemed to report the correct temps.
I doubt either temps are correct, mine will jump from 38c to 33c with out going to anything in the middle, and hang around 28-29c idle, with a 900MHz overclock and 1.52v. The load temp is 44c, but I doubt thats the real temp. Anyway, my CAB2E 0546FPAW opty 146 seems to have hit it's limit at 2.9GHz. When I get home today I will go for the lowest voltage, and then I will post my results.

My Opteron would OCCT like crazy but Prime failed within 30 seconds.
My 146 @ 2.8GHz will run OCCT all day long with only 1.312Vcore but Prime95 ver 24.14 craps out after ~45 minutes using same Vcore :(

here we go again... temps rises again after i shutdown my pc and turn it back on... last night i had good temps idles at 22-26c... i left it on all night den i shutdown my pc and turned it back on... bam!!! temps are out of wack again idles at 40c.. maybe my mobo has a bug or something.. can someone take a wild guess and tell me what might be wrong... it does this everything i turn my pc off and on
Hello. Just got my hands on a Opteron 146 0540 FPBW from a guy in england and as far as I saw, it got a pretty early batch ( around 200? ) So with a big typhoon is this a descent clocker? Don't feel for looking up every page in this thread to find out.
I got absolutely retarded temperature readings on my Neo2 platinum, don't trust it.Quote:

I really hope so shark, paid 232£ including shipping so I am not happy if I dont hit at least 3.0 Ghz with low v-core
Opty 146 CAB2E 0546FPAW stable @ 2.9GHz (click to enlarge):
http://www.eraserinc.com/ihs/images/tn_Gjo58724.jpg
Well My opty seems happy at 2870... did get prime steady for 7 hrs....
Might have to get you guys to glance you eyes over my mem settings though... im sure the ram can run faster than it is !!!!
Also going back to temps... i dont trust mine atall... 38-40 idle... with in a nano second of starting prime it jumps to 50-55... when i stop prime its drops just as quick :)
Put same chip in friends expert board and cpu idles at 35 full load at about 40
Ive got a piccy with some ram timings a couple of pages back if ya wanna peek

and its sitting under a Arctic Freezer 64 pro cooler :slobber:

I had the same temps are you did with my 146 cabne 0546 aswell at 2.9ghz but using 1.6v, i'm also using the Freezer 64 pro. Now after I removed the IHS and some burn in, its at 28c/38c and its stable at 1.55v now, so regardless how exact the readings are it dropped over 10c.Quote:

Mine is facing up towards exhaust fans, one on top of case and at back, plus the psu is sucking it out too. It doesn't clip too tight either on my DFI when you take the IHS off, so no worries about crushing the core. I cut my damn fingers trying to cut it off though heh. Had to use a thin shaving razor but once i cut through it was easy to wiggle off with my finger.Quote:

By unscrewing the clip on the heatsink its possible to turn it i believe but in my case it wasn't necessary. It clips down with about half the pressure it took with the IHS on, which is still enough. My temps are 38c load so it must be good contact, using AS5 with a thin layer applied with a credit card type plastic on the core.Quote:

Hey guys. Just a short question. I'm selling my 3700+ and buying me an 146 opty. Wich stepping should i take; CABYE 0543 FPMW or CABYE 0540 FPBW??
Thanks in advance
do a search within the opteron overclocking thread (here) on both steppings and find out.
You should take the 0540FPBW.Quote:

Go with CABYE 0540 FPBW:fact:
Hi, thanks for replys guys. I did a fast search thru this thread and found some informations;
0540 FPBW is good clocker but needs more volts than 0543 FPMW. FPBW is also running very hot, as i noticed from this thread. On the other side i found only two guys here that are having 0543 FPMW (alphaone is one) and so i can't be sure if i will be as lucky as them. Hmm, ...
I have a CABYE 148 0540 FPBW and it's a great clocker. Go with the FPBW.
http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/3...m2gb0uw.th.jpg
Look for it in fs soon.:D
I just bought a 146 opty CABYE 0540 FPBW. What clocks can i achive with high end air cooling (Zalman CPNS9500)? Can't wait to get my hands on that chip!
Between 2,9-3,1Gig on Aircooling, but not with an Zalman.
Youhave to choose en Thermaltake Sonic Tower! And two or three 120 Fans.
Hey a ThermalTake Big Typhoon and you can.Quote:

What do rate to to my overclocking results. Be gentle as its my first but any feedback would be appreciated. Memory is currently running on a 09/10 divider in order to get it to the 2.8 mark, it would be nice to try and get it harder without loosing memory bandwith.
The Screenshot is <a href="http://www.ap0ll0uk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/2794.jpg">Here</a> as it was a little bit too big to attach.
Nice start and a nice stepping you got there. A little more vcore should get you 3Ghz on air.Quote:

I have them running at 1T but was told that my ram should run at 2T but I also read that your system performance decreases when ram runs at 2T in conjunction with AMD 64's.
What kind of increments do you think I should push the fsb and voltage up and what are the max volts I can give the Opteron?
One other question, what graphics card did you have before the X1800XT and what kind of games do you play on it?
No need for 2T. I do not like mine to go over 55 deg C load on air. Up to 1.65 or 1.7v just to have a look what it does should be fine, but i doubt you need that high for 3Ghz. Just go up in small steps and see how it scales while keeping eye on temps. Get mem on 150 divider to exclude mem while looking for max cpu.
Previous card was X850 and the only games i play are some older FPS.
