i've tried 2.9GHz and it was fine but my time is SHOCKING.......what's yours likeQuote:

i'm sure others would notice this as well if they compared old and new...........i know eva2000 can reliably compare that is if he has the slow 32M time syndrome
dinos keep me posted on i4 if you find out Opty's suck in PI, might save me/scrags wasting some money
you buy the CPU to just play with PI or something? :DQuote:

Just another quick heads up for UK people. Komplett have got a couple of 144's in stock along with a couple of 148's still, £120 and £199 respectively.

Any DC Opteron results yet?
i found someone sell second CABGE 0534 SPMW
is this a good steping ?
no it is the worst out of the 3. usally about 2.6ghz super_pi 32m stable max.
oh,thanks for the info...:)Quote:

it's maxTcase is 2C higher than other one at 59C and clocks higher with 0.05v less vcore than my first Opteron 144 CABYE 0536 GPMW :)

Please , could someone do some cinebench tests?
my 148 is on the way since last week , and I want to figure how it compares to a X2 on prof. apps
It's slower. By a lot.
what about other weeks then 28/30/36 ?????
This thread has now surpassed the x2 thread in views and posts. Pretty amazing the excitement around the opterons. Hopefully they will live up to the hype. If I don't get 3gig 24/7 stable at 1.5v I'm going to be pissed. High hopes but why not? Otherwise it's just another chip.
its somewhere in this thread ...Quote:

CABGE's actaully have good results from what ive seenQuote:

Just loaded up my CABYE 148 I got from eWiz. I am a little overwhelmed with everything coming from intel and all....new mobo...new hd...new video card. Needed all new software too. So I guess the first step is throw in a divider and start pumping it up...and tips before I start kicking it?
i have one on the way :DQuote:

So, I guess my question is, how easy/difficult is it to damage my processor OCing it? Is there a guide that you folks would specifically reccomend for a n00b? (I've seen quite a few, not sure if one stands out over the others). I think I'll be using a DFI Ultra-D, so if there is something tailored to that board it would be prefferable. Also, what do you folks think of using apps/tools as an OC aid?
The best advice I could give you is get a multimeter and head over to DFI-Street.com. There might be some people who disagree DFI-Street forums is a good place to go for help, but I think that's their personal problem. ;)Quote:

Now the only question is: What steppings is Monarch shipping this week? :banana:
Thanks! :woot:
Don't turn up the voltage past 1.55 if want to be careful and don't even go that high unless you feel unhappy with what oc you get below. In general the less you overvolt stuff the better, (from a safety perspective anyway, xtreme is something different). I think the cabne don't like volts so you shouldn't need a lot. DFI seems to overvolt ram by .07 to .1 and cpu's by .07 -.1 so you should be aware of that.
Start at stock volts or below like 1.3 and raise it then test til it fails then raise vcore a bit .01-.025 and keep going. In general the a64 overclocking guide sticky at dfi-street is a good thing to become familiar with. Be patient, thorough, read as much as possible about what people with the same ram and mobo have done, and test, test, test.
OC your current rig for practice. I learned everything I need to know about oc'ing on k6 and celerons. Everything afterwards is just details. It's really not a big deal. You're just turning up the speed and applying more voltage when you have too. The only thing of note thats different now is that you can tweak your ram timings which is something different than oc'ing a cpu. Master your cpu first and wory with ram timings later as thats more advanced and you can get lost with that. If possible just copy somebody elses settings, (with EXACTLY the same ram or at least ram chips), from the oc database on dfi street with the exception of the voltage and bus speed as that stuff you have to find by trial and error.
