well i just ordered my 144 from dream hardware, lets hope i get as good results as you guys are getting. my water setup should kick ass

148 CABNE 0528GPMW still climbing!

http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/9...0spi32m2uu.png

Took off the IHS last night, load temps dropped 10C. Vcore above at 1.67 via multimeter, but I am not positive that isn't high (nF3 thing). Also, memory is running at 2T (also nF3 thing). Ambient temp is 18C, final time was 24m 22.326s.

so overall important is to get "VENUS" right ?

Impressive!! imagine what it can do under a phase change....I see 3.4ghz in your chip!

Hey guys, do you think this place has them in stock? I tried calling but they're closed..

Their availability thing is confusing :stick: http://www.tritechcoa.com/product/562344.html

They don't have in stock and according to one of their csr's they've never had them in stock. They told me most likely on the 25th.

Hi! About your 144, can you post your value in A64 MaxTcase?

Damn, just ordered too. I cancelled it though and ordered through tankguys

hopefully they'll let me use paypal since I have no Visa or mastercard :(

Only 65C. Bah! ;)

Thanks!! Nice 144 there.
Mine 63C...

ixtapalapaquetl and TheMeatFrog both looking very good with Opterons processors showing very different heat/volt characteristics. Fantastic TCC* sticks on TheMeatFrog's post. :slobber:

OT but.... you guys have no idea how hard is it being suscribed to this thread and not having a opty yet.....thats the one thing that sux about countries "in development"

sorry just had to say it

what does that information tell you

Generally higher number = better OC. Read about it here.

I've got a 148 CABYE 0528GPMW currently running at 2816 at only 1.36 volts on air (SI-120 34idle-44load--ambient 22.7) Super Pi 1.4 32Mb and OCCT stable.
Is this low vcore unusual for this chip?

makes no sense still.....all that nonsense posting in the thread provided means nothing unless they compile that data with actualy overclocking results from all those CPUs in some sort of standardised way......also using other info such as vcores, temps, ambient temps, cooling, MaxTcase value at stock/OCd, under stock heatsink, steppings..................once you have that info you can prove whether the MaxT Case value actually means anything if you correlate the data properly and use regression analysis or some other form of data analysis......if you read it now you can just draw wrong conclusions......

Regarding the need for systematic analysis before attempting to draw correlations between OC and Tcase, I heartily agree. I might simply point out that AMD had to arrive at the value the ascribe to a certain chip somehow. I doubt they draw numbers from a hat. My guess would be that it would be similar to a binning process (which would support the theory), but what do I know.

So far this is as high as I have gone.

I really do think that 3Ghz is about the max for the CABNE 0528 148. In order to get stable (still testing) at this speed from 3Ghz I had to bump the voltage from 1.47 to 1.55. That is with chilled water, I would think aircoolers would need just a tad bit more voltage to be stable.

I might take my chip up to 1.6V as I have seen others using that much but without phase cooling that just seems way to much voltage just to reach 3.1-3.2Ghz.

In the end I'll be more then happy with just 3Ghz since it's more then what my crappy FX-55 could do. :)

I have to agree with you on this one. I don't think it has anything to do with it. Even if it is standardised, memory skills and the memory itself play a big part of the total oc. The only way to really tell if it makes a difference is for one person to do it on the same configuration. Even mb's of the same make and model don't clock the same.

bad news guys, my 144 seems to be topping out at 206mhz with 4 sticks in, 2x512mb pc3500GX and 2x512mb ballistix :stick:
i've always suspected the memory controller to be a bit wonky when nothing over 2.5-3-3 helped memory scaling, but this is kinda lame :slapass:

Guys what was the difference in mhz between

1. your max memtest bootable and error free few loops at STOCK vcore

vs

2. your max windows bootable and superpi 1-32M at STOCK vcore

for your Opteron ?
10-16-2005, 05:43 PM

i would assume you mean for the ram in #1 and cpu in #2? is it ok if we use max screen instead of max windows bootable? i don't feel like booting at unstable configs and killing my windows install ;)
10-16-2005, 05:45 PM
eva2000

i mean for cpu max mhz in both #1 and #2 instances just trying to get an idea the discrepancy between the 2 as i just plucked in my Opteron 144 CABYE 0536 GPMW :)

yeah sure windows screen is fine
