When I'm testing an overclock I go out of my way to throw stuff at it to almost provoke it to crash. . .
That's the difference between a truly stable system and a borderline stable system:p:Quote:

Sorry no OCCT or prime, in that time i only tested SuperPI 32M.
I think that CPU would be very good in phase ;)
Highest SS stable i've got on AIR on my Opteron148 0545MPMW (pretty crap stepping.. heh)
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=58013
Its sensitive to heat and i can't prime over about 2900mhz due to heat.
:( I guess its just mine then.......I need 1.475v(1.5 in bios) just to get 2.9ghz 32M Pi stable. Im using a Zalman7000 AlCu, and my load temps are close to 50C with 1.5v so that may be whats holdin me back.......and yes Im sure it would do really well on single stage phase :thumbsup:Quote:

Then again in about 2 weeks when I get 3500$ I want to buy a FX-60.
Well got an Opteron 150 the other day and it seems it isn't going to hit 3.0GHz...
So far this is all I have tested...
260x10.0 @ v1.475 1:1 G.Skill 2GBHZ @ 3-4-4-8
PrimeStable for over 9 Hours...
I wonder how far I can push this RAM as well...I will be happy if I can get 2.7 out of this chip...
Stepping is in my sig
Well that's poor indeed, have you tried to prime @ 2.7ghz?
Dude, sell that 150! I can hook you up with a 146 that does 3 Ghz on air easy lol. No reason to try to play nice with a CABGE because they just don't reciprocate the love.Quote:

With the risk of getting boring and missing the thread completley I need an opinion on a CAB2E 0602 DPGW. As my Venice is total crap, and my opty is a unique 938 pin model, i saw this opty on e bay and would need soem expert thinking since I have totally no clue on how the CAB2E perform and especcialy the 2006 models.
my 0604EPAW 146 does 3 Ghz.
my CAB2E 0546FPFW does 3050mhz @ 1.56v on air cooling. bench stabile. will boot into windows @ 3300mhz wasnt stable enough for screen shot. need some better cooling.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8909300 35k
From every post I have seen, 06 chips appear to be going another 100mhz further than the initial rush on the 144-148's of last fall.
Futuremark doesn't say anything about stability, i was able to run 3dmark01 at 3.1 Ghz on the stock heatsink with one of my 146s, although it could barely prime at 3 Ghz cuz of heat.Quote:

Ok, got myself an Opteron 146 CACJE and wasnt hoping to achieve more than 2.7-2.8 outa this chip, from what i've seen posted here.
First attempt:
146 CACJE @ 2700.88 MHz / Air Cooled / Prime Stable
Mutliplier = x10
HTT = 270
Voltage @ 1.5 BIOS (Burning it in, might be possible to lower it)
CPU Temp = 31-33c IDLE
FSB = 270
RAM = 180
Update: Dropped CPU Voltage to 1.475 and upped HTT to 290
Currently running:
146 CACJE @ 2920.88 MHz / Air Cooled / Prime Stable
Mutliplier = x10
HTT = 290
Voltage @ 1.475 BIOS (Lowered from 1.5v)
CPU Temp = 33-34c IDLE / 40c Full Load
FSB = 292
RAM = 194
Seems like i have room to hit the magic 3ghz mark and possibly more :woot: Seems like 2006 is a good year ;)
P.S. New to the overclocking scene too, not bad for a first try eh? :)
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...146oc29ghz.jpg
Well i thought i had killed my 146 when i removed the IHS turns out it's alive and kicking. I mounted my watercooling on the naked core and OMFG is it flying, right now i'm priming at 3.15 Ghz with 1.50v, and the room is warm...
Just did this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...E/e8d1e878.jpg
Definitely one of the best 146s i've seen. If you've got a better 146 on normal watercooling i want to see it!
Is that a typo or is AMD labeling chips with april date? :DQuote:

Cooling is another big factor, but it's pretty obvious. Motherboard is much more important than most people realize. Motherboards like the MSI K8N Neo1 and Neo2 hold back overclocks. I should know, i've owned both. If you are REALLY and truly interested in overclocking, i seriously advise you to consider the DFI NF4 Ultra-D and nothing else.
--> Is it that bad ? :(
It just means DFIs clock best ;)

or is the difference in clock-speed rather small ? (at same vcore etc...)
Other mobos hit HTT limits, my Neo2 Platinum didn't work past 275 HTT, i thought it was a bad CPU, nope just a crappy motherboard. Also this is kinda OT next time you have a question like that use PMs...
@Absolute 0, Glad to see you got your water going, those chips were ready for it.
@overcrash86, awesome chip. Cool 'liquid' setup. I use similar with vc only not as extreme.
Just did this testing Di tubes...:D

Jesus coop, 32M at 3.57, beautiful. That DICE really hits the spot.
agreed, there is a sweet spot in there, temp wise. I have to run Systool to monitor temps. Like that prime? lol

I have to sell this gem now, customs ripped me off big time on that 170'er...:(
..have to sell on Ebay though, can't let it go to cheaply..
3.1 on air is nice, but 32M doesn't speak as much as Prime, i can run a 32M over 50 Mhz past where prime fails. The main reason is that Prime loads me 2-3c higher than SP32M. Still a very nice chip though - especially for air and IHS still on!!
Nice clocks Buddies.
have to test my 148 Optie CAB2E0547GPMW HS still on it.
Hey Rufus, buddy
I had a CAB2E 0547GPMW 148! Batch # 0112
On water it did 3.1 prime-stable with 1.5v and 3.2 OCCT-stable with 1.60v, IHS still on. Very good chip!!
My GPMW has an 248Batch.
Who knows that 146er CABNE0530APMWs with the 1288864L50XXX Wafercharge has an Coldbug?
I have a Buddie who has a modded Mach IIGT.
Want to know if my APMW can hit the 3,8Gig under Phase?
I just sold my oem 146 CABNE 0545 on auction for $324US (£185) so I'm sure you will get a pretty penny for yours, work out what you want for it and make a *Buy-It-Now*.Quote:

I have two opty 146 with same stepping (CABQE 0547 GPAW), but i can do only about 3GHz with 1.55V (no IHS, watercooled, primestable). But higher Vcore (a try 1.57-1.65V) dont help me. Is it limitation of CPU ?Quote:

2.8@1.45v should be able to hit
3ghz@1.5v also
which batch ?
(last 4 numbers of the 3row, on your cpu (stepping))
my batch = 0093
I have 0175 and 0015. But my win do BSOD also with 3100MHz at 1.65V .. because more then 1.55V dont hepl :(Quote:

Since some days a strange thing happend: first set a 300x9 crash during the Super Pi32M, when the same test at 260x12 pass.. Sometimes OCCT crash at 300x10 but pass at 310x10 same setting, same voltage.. so it's difficult stay stable in this conditions: I think it's the PSU, i have one on road but i ask me if it's really the problem or not.. What do you think my CPu have a problem? or i should look another thing..??
In Sweden they add 25% salestax on the whole sum that I have paid, even the money that I have paid for the shipping...how sick is that on a scale?...pay salestax on a service bought in another country....can only happend in Sweden:mad:Quote:

I believe you guys have a 17% salestax, so you could just add that to the cost...I don't think you will have to pay more than that.
Apologies if this has been answered earlier in the thread, but I dont feel like trawling through over 180 pages to find it - I have an opteron 146 on the DFI Ultra-D, which bios would be best?
Personally with DFI, best is allways the 704-2BTA (bigToe modded)..
In addition of my last post about my little prob.. Pehraps finally it just PSU give me trouble..
I have change the Jumper of the mobo and pass the DDR rails to the 5V but stay at 2.9V on DDR, i have too remove some leds UV.. First thing, the 12V have increase:12.01V ->12.07V directly.. then OCCT pass now easy at 300x10 and 310x10.. What do you think guys? all this trouble is caused by my PSU?
Thanks. Hopefully this will do 3ghz in my DFI as well as the previous owner's...Quote:

Normally the Orange slots work better but again. it depend of your DDR.. it can be the yellow. it's a thing too try..
Normally Orange for TCCD/TCC5..
Think my problem come really of my PSU.. it seems it can keep again stable at310x10 and better.. need make more test.. bad my Silverstone will not be here before one week again..
This is geil value - doesnt go above 245 2.5-4-4-10.Quote:

Most of the time they use air or watercooling. Vcore never above 1,55V.
That's what I've seen from most of the pretested cpu's.
15MHz more with .01V and 4°C less :D

Look at MaxxxRacer's CPU. CABYE 0540FPBW, one of the best steppings ever. Tops out at 2.9 Ghz with 1.5v on watercooling.
I thought 99% of opty146 cpu's could reach 3ghz @ 1.5vCore (with decent air/water cooling)Quote:

I removed the hs of my 144 0536 GPMW.
Before i had to give 1,52v for 2,8ghz and now 1,48v are enough.
Could a burn in improve the clock? The cpu is one of the first opterons ...

Hmm 1.65v isn't "under 1.6v" but that's still pretty damn nice :)

I wanna put this baby under 1.75 to see if i hit 3.2 primestable,
