are u kidding me...i got the only dud CCBBE? lol. what else do you think it is. you got 2.88 on air, right?

hmm...maybe i'll play around with some different BIOS

I'm saying they represent something else. We all know 939 and AM2 have completely different mem controllers, but we have 'BV' and 'BY' on both platforms

looks like my CCB1E 0609 FPAW scales the same, but I am still testing.

no i had that problem as well. i sold it to a guy he hit 2.8 with 1.4 when i needed like 1.525v. i dont know wtf was up with that but my next chip came in and im witht he average crowd now. 2.8 1.4v 2.9 1.5v. so i dont know what the problem was with that chip. he has a DFI expert tho and i have an an8 ultra.

if someone does please contact me (i'm in the US for 3 more weeks)

because tankguys don't have CCBBE anymore :/

I suggest you search Ebay. There are some good stepping oem ones at the moment.
I have 2 brand new, sealed retail boxes that I am about to auction on Ebay myself.

well, supposedly DFI is a really good OCing mb but im having trouble with mine.

hmm..changed my bios from 623-3 to 702-3 and 2.8 @ 1.475 is 45 mins prime stable so far....interesting

Ok guys, I just got my internet at my new place. Here is where I am so far. 1.475V @ 2.95ghz, not too shabby. :) 3ghz is priming right now, hopefully this screen shot is everything I need to be added to the list.

Its a CCB1E 0606VPMW. It seems to not want to play nice at 3Ghz so its to the burn in procedure again. Burn in got me from 2.8ghz to 2.95ghz, lets see what it will do for me now.

which is the newer core the Toledo or Denmark?

They don't do Toledo Opterons, that's just an error on cpu-z.
They're all Denmarks.

Hi there m8, I dont suppose you could tell me what you do for your 'burn in procedure ' please. I take it you use the cpu burn-in utility and let that run for a few hours or so? Do you run it at the speed , ie 3Ghz which is not prime stable yet, or do you run it slightly below with less volts perhaps?
I have never really run cpu burn-in and as I have a new 165 to play with I thought I would give it a go this time.

:toast:

My burn in procedure is to boot at at the speed you want to stabilize at the lowest voltage you can without the computer restarting during a dual toast burn in session. I burn in 6-10 hours at a time. You must make sure before the burnin that the memory is stable though because if it isnt you arent really burnin anything in. Run windows memtest for 30-60minutes to be sure the memory is fine.

*EDIT* It seems my proc is very responsive to burnin. Last night it would fail dual prime in 10 seconds with 1.47V @ 3Ghz, today it is currently at 5 minutes and still dual priming!!! :) So far, burnin has given me ~200 mhz, this is just insane.

*EDIT2* It just failed after 6 minutes but there is a definite improvement! Time for another session.

I've had four CCBBE 0610's and only one would run around 2880 on only 1.375v Prime stable for any long period of time. It normally requires 1.4v or more to get over 2.8GHz Prime stable.

Yeah, mine did 2906 on 1.375v too.

yea, i've built about 15 gaming machines with 0610/0615's so far, they all did 2853 on 1.35. thats as high as i test the gaming machines though, as long as they are stable at 2853 i clock them back to 2808 and sell them.

i've got a few of these lying around.

You must of gotten all the cream of the crop then because most all the 0610's i've seen on hardforum and dfi-street have done between 2700 and 2750 on stock voltage Prime stable. 2.8GHz normally required a bump to 1.4v. Of course thats for like 8h+ Prime stable and not 30 mins :p. A few long burn-ins may help getting a little higher on stock voltage though but i dont see 2850MHz ever being the average for 1.35v on a 0610.

Thats also actual BIOS setting and not what CPU-Z is reporting because at least on the DFI boards CPU-Z doesn't report accurately. It reports low. For example 1.375v in CPU-Z would normally be over 1.4v set in the BIOS. I'm testing back at stock voltage again on this chip and even though its set at 1.35v its only reporting 1.312v. Voltage sensors on motherboards are rarely ever accurate because motherboard manufacturers dont use good ones. Thats why you have to buy a DMM and test yourself.
