hmm...the easy solution to this would be to just start a new thread, where it can be discussed without worrying about ruining another threads theme. Look, I'll do it right now.

phi|os there already is one

Ok, so getting back to what this thread is really about, I'd like to present to you guys the very strangness that is my system.
I've been trying to get my system stable at 2.9ghz with 1.45V. About ten failed 30min prime test later, I find out that it is super stable at the above setting when I further decrease my RAM speed. I'm using OCZ DDR500 2x1GB gold RAM. My RAM was at 240ghz or close to it when it wouldn't pass 30mins prime. I used a lower divider, my RAM is now at 223, and it's been priming for like 4hrs now...
Does my 165 CCBBE 0610 like lower DDR? Anyone else run into a situation like this? My hardware is in my sig if you have a question about it.
A64 tweaker ss please, we can probably get your settings tweaked up and stable :)
lol...this thread became such a joke now.
seriously, i think your in the wrong thread...this one just so happens to be about Opteron overclocking. i suggest you go back to school and learn to read. it just *might* help you figure out where you should be posting.
i actually have that problem as well. my ram is 233mhz and i had to run it at 168mhz to get it stable at 335HTT.Quote:

Ok. Here it is. Two hours prime actually. But it wouldn't go over 30mins until I dropped to lower mem divider...

Its probably your memory controller and the DRAM settings you're using. You may need to adjust the drive strength, tref, max async latency, ect. Try 7 and 3 for the drive strengths, 3684 for the tref, 8.0ns and 5.5ns for the latency and enable Dynamic counter as well.Quote:

Hate to say this dude, but your not priming right. If you look at your post you will see that you have assigned two instances of prime to only one core! You should be running one on core 0 and the other core 1. Also you want to select the same torture test i.e small FFT for both instances of prime.Quote:

No affinity. That means the two programs get distributed between both cores...
Small fft's seem to be too easy of a test. Larger fft's make memory and cpu work harder, and produce more heat. Maybe it's just a preference. Task manager shows both cores going at it, and no affinity means just that, no affinity. thanks for the help though.
Still stock air w/ ceramique, undervolted... pretty sweet core, dice this core will see come friday ;)
Rosetta for about.... 4-5 hours.

If you dont set the affinity then you wont really know which core is failing when it errors out. Small FFTs are the hardest on the CPU because they fit into the L2 cache and stress the floating-point unit and cache the most. Large FFTs stress more of the RAM, memory controller, HT link, and CPU combined.Quote:

Oh, this is a CCB1E 0606VPMW that I got from Monarch on monday for those of you lost in the stability discussion.
Set priority higher babalouj, fails faster... :)
Nice clocks
What stepping Eboy0? Btw, I've tried both 9 and 1 for priority, both ran just the same.
It's one of my 3 CCBWE 0550UMPW's all low 150 batchs. All going under ice :) seems like a pretty sweet core, this one in particular runs the ballistix @ 4 tras unlike the others which run them @ 3, no diffrence really..
Hi all!
Just wanted to let everyone know about my new 3GHZ opty 165...I am proud owner and cant wait for winter to come back and probably hi 3100mhz! Thanks meatfrog for selling it to me. :-)
Regards
I actually had it at the highest priority, I just turned it down to post the screen shot. 3Ghz, here I come! Oh and its still priming happily away approaching 4.5 hours.Quote:

bad news: i got it from the US and the stupid azz seller didnt mark it as gift so i had to pay $60 in customs fees to pick it up!!!! :mad:
anyways, gonna run some quick tests for screenshots on the old cpu then pop this sucker in. it better OC like hell to make up for the trouble its given me so far.
