does anyone in here have a problem w/ a msi k8n neo4 platinum not booting anything above 235 htt at cold boot? it will boot if i warm it up. i am stable at 3ghz at 1.55v in windows using clockgen. prime stable for 8+ hours. i know it isn't my memory either. if it helps the mem divider is at 166 and htt 3x. i have the ocz gold edition that does 250 at 2.5-3-3-8. can anyone help me out here?
Unfortunately I can't help you, but I've seen others post a similar story to yours.
So wait...how are you guys achieving this? What are your voltages for LDT and chipset?
What what are you're LDT/FSB multipliers at or around?
-----
Absolute gave me some tips to change the LDT/FSB multiplier to X3 instead of X4(which I was at), unfortunately it didn't work for my chip. Anyother ideas? My temps are fine, so I don't need more cooling, idle it can get down to 25-26*C, on full load its around
40*C(+/- 2*C)
But for some reason... I cannot run prime95 for more than 20minutes once I'm at 2.90gHz(or higher for that matter, I booted it at 3020mhz for fun), the highest I took my voltage was up to 1.525volts..but like I explained earlier, it should've been able to run it at least stable for a little longer, I keep upping, but it doesn't seem to do the trick, any other suggestions?? Or it... just my chip?

Any ideas?
Basically, other than just upping the cpu voltage, are there any other crucial factors that I should be aware of? My LDT voltages are at 1.3, my chipset is at 1.6v, I haven't touched them since, and of course my ldt/fsb ratio is x4.
I had a CB2E and 3000 was benchable but 3D games no go,have to drop to 2970,go figures...:slapass:
Put your LDT/HTT (fsb) no more than 3Quote:

What cpu multiplier and htt settings are you using?
I don't think there are any tricks to use to get your cpu to 2.9GHz stable. If your memory is backed off, then it appears you may have reached the limit.
I'm on a 10X multiplier, I've experiment with others in order to get my ram speeds up, but I decided it was too extreme, I'd be pumping out an FSB speed of 330+ on 8.5-9X multipliers.
Of all the things there are to overclocking, settings, etc. I actually never quite understood the LDT/FSB frequency, in one sentence or a quick explanation, what did I do wrong by going with x4?
Tweaking the comp now.

In my case i can get max. 1280, everything above that causes instability.
So for me to go higher than 256Mhz, i need to lower my HTT multiplier.
no one with @ CABQE 0547 ?

I've become obsessed with it lately, but I need to get back to school work and other work, haha. I am however, considering to purchase an opteron 170(I'd get the 165, but too hard to find right now).
My goal as usual is to get as high as I can, as "safe" and stable as possible. I say "safe" because I know that any overclocking is supposed to cut the lifespan of a cpu, but yeah, I try to keep the voltages below 1.6v, and I try to make the system stable so I can use it for whatever, extreme gaming or extreme program usage.
Thats a nice overclock :clap:Quote:

My 0546GPAW colbugged at +14°C.. that sucks hard! :slapass:
Yesterday i tryed to bench close to the opened window and when it reached 14°C (3150MHz 1,53V) it freezed, with 1,7V i had no problem, becouse the lowest temp was about 16°C...
cold bugged at +14C? God damn, i think that's worse than my cold bug. That isn't even good for waterchilling then.
Yep, really strange! +14°C Coldbug.. don't know what AMD is doing. :stick:
When does ur Opteron coldbug?
14°c? Are u shure u are not having stability problems?
Well i've tried clockgenning it when it's loading at 0C and it locks up around 270 HTT. It did almost 3.4 Ghz screenshot on water so it should not be locking up like that at all.Quote:

It´s even for sale =) PM if interested.
Nice chip, though why did you decide on using the 9x multi instead of the 10x? Just curious.
Ohh, it does the same with the 10x but i tought using the HTT multi 3X and the fsb 333 Would be kind of perfect, 1000 is optimal and 3x333 is 999 so why not? :)
Sounds good, just wondering you see. :)Quote:

max I reached (under air)
2.9Ghz @ 1,5vCore Max
(srry for my bad english)
What air cooling? What load temps? How bad was the Vcore fluctuation?
Sry about all the questions, but i got 3 more of these incoming from the same place so probably same or similar stepping.
btw here's my 146
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...2818Medium.jpg
And i'm hoping for good things because my 148, also 0547GPMW, does 3.1 Ghz with 1.5v on my watercooling

What air cooling? Zalman Pure Copper 80mm
What load temps? 50° max.. (i found out recently that the cooler wasn't mounted properly...now 40~45° max)
My vCore setting (in bios) is 1,450vCore
my Cpu is currently clocked @ 2,6 Ghz
my bios reports (hardware monitor) 1,4250vCore
but when I run Prime2004 (8 hours right now), my vCore is 1,375v average
(Asus pcProbe reports this voltage)
I hava a Zalman 400W APS ... and a ASUS K8V Deluxe..
someone said me, the voltage drops are due to the motherboard...
soon, i'll let repair my Msi neo2 platinum (nforce power)..
and i'll install a ThermalTake big typhoon...
(@ ebay, my cpu is reported to do 3ghz on air @ 1,5vcore max.. > so did I , 2,9 @ 1,475 vCore... some better cooling, ans i'll finish the job)
Seems like a good one then.
To me the question is: does it have cold bug?
n00b question, what exactly is the "cold bug"? What symtoms occur to the chip? Is it only when applied with DICE and vapo chill cooling? Sorry for the stupid question. I'll post a pic soon
I'm saving up for phase, but here is what I've got so far. CAB2E 0540FPMW

ho does it look to yee??
Almost forgot, it is
cab2e 0548 fpmw
ladyback, saving up for phase change with a CAB2E stepping is not recommended. It will almost surely coldbug.
brechtvm, that CABQE of yours is looking better than before. If you can do 3 Ghz with your 50C load temps, then surely it will do 3.1 Ghz on watercooling. I'm gonnna hopefully get to testing mine out tonight.
Ok, the dilemma for the hour....
I have finally recieved my first opteron 144 oem chip. Shortly followed by an opteron 148 oem chip. Now I have to decide which one to sell.
144 - CAB2E 0546UPMW
on temporary stock amd cooling, and stock volts, this guy is pretty stable at 285x9. I tempted fate by putting 1.55v on it on stock cooling, and it stayed below 45 C at load, sometimes idling below 30, pretty much stable at 325x9.
148 - CAB2E 0547GPMW
on temporary thermaltake venus 7+ cooling, I can run 290x10, 270x11, at 1.55 volts, but it spikes the temps up to nearly 60 degrees load, and never idles below 37.
I'm running a dfi ultra-d, and I'm gonna be running water cooling (2x120mm fan radiator), so the 148 may really shine after I take the heat away. It just really impressed me how low the 144 stays.
Also, I won't be going into phase change any time soon, just sticking with the water.
Which should I keep?
The 148 will sell for more but you gotta get some better results with it. Lower the temperatures somehow. Sounds like you have the heatsink seated wrong... i have the exact same stepping and mine runs fairly cool. Mine was however, VERY temp sensitive, but it's also a VERY good overclocker. Try to get the load temps down to 45C and it should do 3+ ghz easily.
Hello XS!
Do anyone have test Opteron stepping CACJE with DIce? Do it coldbugs like CAB2E ?
sorry that i reply my self but how about CACJE

Cold bug usually kicks in in the negatives with these CAB2E steppings. You'll notice it locking up at higher HTTs peeds prematurely. For example my CAB2E was able to clockgen past 300 HTT on watercooling. On my phase change i couldn't go past 260.

How much it is the maximum that has obtained with Water Cooling?
That good chip has between its hands :)
Until soon
Opteron 148 only tested it for a few days seemed ok ran 4 dims of Geil One W BH5 well.
my CAB2E was benchable at 3.2 Ghz on watercooling, pretty good chip. I could have got it further with more volts and IHS removed, but it was a resale chip, its on ebay now.
I have NO IDEA what my CABYE does under water.
CABQE 0547 GPMW Batcher 0133
Stock cooling, stock volts, JUST put this thing in
SP2004 now at 7+ minutes... EDIT 13 minutes :)
Load temp as you can see is 52C
http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/615...ndvolts2tb.jpg
Maybe 2.9 on stock volts and stock cooler? 3+ on good air...
EDIT
Looks like around 2.87 Ghz will be the max prime for stock volts and stock cooling. Once i get load temps down i'm sure it will fly. I'm gonna up volts to 1.4 and see how it compares with my Opteron 148 0547 GPMW, which was a kick ass chip.
EDIT
2.86 GHz stock cooler stock volts max (52C load)
2.92 Ghz stock cooler 1.40 volts max (53C load) check it out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ABQE/bew/2.jpg
---> phase change.
COLDBUGGED BADLY. Sorry everyone, the CABQE is terrible... couldn't load windows at 250x10...
OFFTOPIC
strange thing :
I replied to a post of Absolute_0, and my post came ABOVE his post ?!:confused:

I have a 170 0550 VPMW which will sit at stock volts at 2.8GHz using the stock AMD cooler...
Fantastic chip I thought; cant wait to get it under the Mach II GT.
So on Friday night I carefully put it under the Mach II GT only to find that my max stable clock was now 2.4GHz and anything beyond was seriously unstable or wouldnt boot up into Windows.
I thought I might have borked the mobo, but I took the Mach II GT off again tonight, put it back on the cheap and cheerful AMD HSF and bang, straight in and up to 2.7Ghz without breaking a sweat...
Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas as to whats wrong with mine under the Mach II GT.

My CABNE0545 is up to 2900MHz on 1.475v.I have a Machll GT.Is there anyway of knowing if it has a coldbug before putting under the Prommie(Also have a 3500 venice as well to try)
Ta for any inf
Smiffy
No real way to tell for sure unfortunately. My CABNE 0530APMW was fine under single stage though, so just have a go and see how yours does. :)
I have a 144 CAB2E 0546 that I got to 2.9ghz on some junky cooling. A better HSF and ram is on its way and I will try then as well. Might be able to get more with better cooling, plus the chip will have burned in by then. If anyone is looking for 144 CAB2E 0546 processors let me know...in a PM ;) I will keep you all updated once I get better cooling.

2.944ghz it was benched at, and I think it was primed for 2 hours at 2.87ghz, this was at 1.42 volts.
This pic is actually a several weeks old, so I forgot, I just wanted to post something, haha, I'm currently priming my system at 2.81ghz @ 1.36volts for 3 hours.
Stock voltage, stock cooling, 2.92 Ghz prime

clockgenned up from 2.8, it just kept going.
CABQE 0547GPMW
**primed for over an hour before i stopped it
if anyone has done better with that voltage/CPU temp, i'd like to see.
Here's some more
Ran OCCT @ 3012 Mhz with stock heatsink, 1.45 volts, 54C load the whole time

Mine did 2.92GHz on stock volts too. On air aswell, around 52C or so load.Quote:

Sold it on OCAU though to someone using an Asus... :stick: and not a DFI... poor Opteron. :slapass:
CAB2E 0540FPMW 146.
That one is good but i think this one is better yet. I pulled off a 1M at 3072 pretty easily with 1.5 volts (enduring 50+ c load :( ) while your max was 3042 with 1.55v.Quote:

It's a decent chip, I'm happy with it... I know everyone has different ambitions..of many I just wanted to run it the highest I could, as "safely" as possible(lowest voltage), for as long as possible.
I turned off the comp last night after over 4 hours of priming at 2.81ghz, about to go on a long distant trip for a few days, so I'm going to leave the comp on, we'll see if it can run 24 hours at least on stock volts..I have someone to monitor it for me every several hours, incase it fails while I'm gone, I'll post results.
PS. its so fun to play with this chip... my only problem is.. I actually want to use this as a daily machine...and every time I play with the volts to get up higher, I can't go back down, it always messes up, for example, I was once running at 2.86ghz primestable(9 hours) on 1.375 volts I believe(have to recheck my screenshot), then I played around to get it over 3.0ghz with higher volts, after that I couldn't even prime it back to 2.86ghz anymore at the same volts for even 30minutes before it failed!...thus I need another chip to play with, haha..and one to run stable.
