:rofl: I only have 3 same models as you. My fourth - a 146 - I only have a shipping notification for it. Nice HTT on your DFI.Quote:

After messing with a stinking asrock mb, you couldn't pay me to take on a rdx200. I think (unless they really get to clocking them) I will just stick with Ultra-d until the 940's come out.Quote:

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Just a quick question. How many with CABNE has removed their IHS?
And do the CABYEs with the IHS off clock as good as the CABNE with IHS?
Could it be that the biggest change between the CABYE and the CABNE is the contact between the IHS and the CPU?
Now how is that for an entry to the board? KISS
Keep It Stupid... Stupid.
I finally got my 146... 0530 CABNE... it is only doing 2700right now, crap MSI neo2 won't let me crank up my ballistix to 1t and about 260 @ 3338 timings. Will do further testing and post results when I get a chance...
I've been wondering the same thing about the IHS making the difference on some of these steppings. Maybe the tim was a different sucky batch or the machine that applies it or the ihs was not running well for whatever reason. I can't remember if anyone did a naked cabge but maybe it would help.
Also I think it would be great if everyone who has a chip would put in the week stepping and where they got it into their sig. A guy posts "look at my cabxe from XXXXX" and then 20 posts later who knows what chip it is? Even worse they don't tell where it came from. I've been here for the whole thread but I can't remember everything and I'm not going to scroll back through 50 pages with 1200/1600 jpg's all over the place. (which is another issue, Hint: shrink the pics and lower the quality.)
Cooling would be nice too as everyone has to keep asking over and over "what step", "what cooling", "where'd you get it", etc. At least put the step up in screenies.
well said gbomb, on all counts
Whatever happened to the concept of thumbnail? I have turned off pictures in user control panel, I just click the link when I want to see them. I'm not looking at a zillion piccys when the data can be summed up in about five works words...... 32Meg stable, 3.0Ghz blah blah blah...
Edit: Not OT, moderation work LOL :)
I agreed, I posted on this when I had venices and sd's. In the oc'ing threads you wolud see one guys pics for the whole page. I have dsl and the screen would still be moving and shaking loading when I though it should be done.Quote:

OK, so I've had my vandi special 146 cabne for about 10 days now, and I've been rather dissapointed because it wouldn't get to 3000 stable like almost all others. After seeing some of the others results with removing the IHS, I thought I'd give it a try. Right after I popped the top, I ran super pi 32m at 1.55v @ 3006mhz....Hell Yes!! :banana: :banana: My temps dropped considerably, and this is in a room @ 72degrees f, and with the zalman 7700.
But right after the first run of 32m, I rebooted to try to clock higher, and my neo 2 died on me... ouchee :slobber: :slobber:
Now I'm at default vcore 2800mhz on the abit av8 (board won't go much higher), and will be waiting on the new board from rma before I can test again.
Ah, so is the life of the overclocker....victories, and defeats one after another!!!
ok so wow. us neo2 owners are really having a hard time eh? but this makes me raise na eyebrow. popping the top eh? you + me + Eljefe62 all have a vandi special cabne 146 wk 30. all have the neo2. all have been pumping volts and getting high frikken temps. like i can get to 32m stability with less volts than prime stability (which im testing right now, pics later) butt oif you saw my screenshots a few pages back (which was only day and half ago) i got it to 2.9 but not without a fight and not without dropping my ram speed damn cllose to stock.Quote:

i mean its beeen runnin since i got in from clubbin so its been a while. i do not however want to run above 55° for my load temps at all. cuz i refuse to make the system loud. so does this mean i bacck down from 290x10? go slower? i could do 2.8ghz pretty much damn near stock and i know im pumping extra volts into this thing now to compensate for voltage swings but wow.
so mainly, i love my ihs, i love how they look ive always said i leave the poppin of the top to the phaser's etc and i really feel like i would be defacinng a peicce of art. but if it REALLLY nets such big temp drops for us neo2 146 cabne wk30 vandi special owners, (say that 5 times fast) then i will prolly have to do it.
let me know mane, and all other neo2 owners. ps: im curently on 1.b tccd mod bios, will ggo back to 1.c when its final. what you guys on?
I have a neo2 and a dfi and an asrock sata2. The neo must just read the temps hot. On the other mb's the temps a lot cooler. I can't believe that somehow the msi makes the cpu run hotter. Here's a post from a few days ago of mine before your post.

@ 1.45v mine is running 45º idle, according to BIOS (who knows if this is right!); I have an xp90 with decent (ie, not a tornado...) fan. I am using the 1.b ballistix bios on my neo2. Have not had a chance to really play with overclock yet...
This is one of the three 148 CABNE 0528 GPMW that I have, room temperature is 75'F, using the TT Big Typhoon heatsink with Silverstone FM121 110cfm fan rated at 39dB in a closed case PC, the only thing I can hear is my PSU fan. After 16hr of Prime the cpu temperature is still ROCK SOLID at 39'C :D :D 3.0Ghz @1.47v (300 x10) and 2GB of Ballistix running at 300 @3-3-3-8 1T using 704-2BTA bios, this chip passed 3Dmarks, OCCT, SPI32M, and now Prime. Whenever I have a chance I'll test the other two CABNE. :toast:

I totally agree. What worse is when some guy makes multiple post showing esentially the same thing ... "32Meg stable, 3.4Ghz blah blah blah... tightened timings ...blah blah blah ... knocked off 28 seconds ... " and you know they're planning on tryin their BH-5 or TCCDs next so they post yet again the same pic with a few changes. I know the type. Something should be done! :soap:Quote:

... well at leastiI use png files which are pretty small relative to jpegs. Less than 90kb for the above shot. :D

Is this more fun then a x2, I sure think it is. :D We used to dream about clocks like this. Maybe you could do a comparison between x2 and opty like you did with sd and venice. :)
Nice clocks Ben 805 with Air.Congrats. My temps are higher with an SI120 and an Papst4412 F/2GL 63cfm
Way to go. :woot:
What did you do to get over the hump?
I'm just playing around with some of the timings and Tref. Take little 1M runs to see if I picking up any time. When I manage to knock off a few tenths of a seconds off the 1M time I figure it'll add up on the 32M. I'm no Pi guru but its fun making that number go down. I want to try the BH-5 again. I should be able to get a respectable time that won't have XS members lining up to :slapass: me.
Yea, el rolio, I think you should lose the IHS. I didn't want to do it either, but It made a huge difference on the one and only run I've made without it. Allowed me to the the 3giga that is so sought after.
When I get my new board back in, I'll be able to see how much it really helped.
My question isn't very topic related, but did you turn the heater on the backplate and in the promhead off to reach lower temps with your opteron? Just wondering...Quote:
