Uh ... no. Do you have a link to a post that proved this was beneficial?

IMHO Marci knows a lot about this stuff, so i think with some extra armaflex it might be a good idea.

Hey guys well I just got my 146 opty and here are some first run results. Not much but more to come.

Dang that cpu is on fiya! Is that on cascade or what?

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

you sir a pro screenshotter. for this i shall always use thumbnails tho im not sure peeps click on them, so then i shall install a program hopefully ot ass big as photoshop that will allow me to crop screenshots and post sub 100k pics. yay.

oh and you at 3.4ghz is oh so ridiculous

wow. i envy your vcore. and iu wanted to know, is there any benefit ot using the simple prime95 thing? i mean i like that teh program you have there priming shows speed and running time. that would be nice to knnow, as it stands now my machine is priming and ireally ahve no idea how many hours its been going. and i'd like to get back to working on the machine.

oh and if this program is pretty good to use annd combines the other stability testers... id like to know what its named.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...52#post1087152

yea man, i remember that post now (thread soooo long gah! forgetting things) now that i have mine i can see that it really is crazy what the msi reports. so i guess i wont worry much about the temps its telling me im getting. i mean the air coming from the rad fans is kinda warm under fully load but really not that bad.

ok so that would confirm my suspicions... neo2 definitely reports super high. for that matter it has issues reporting nb fan speeds too. i actually only trust the ambient from the 6800.

the next thing is this top popping. you really making me think about it. but then again a guy over at my [H] worklog suggested adding some capacitors to the board to stabilize the vcore some more. imm happy for systool, it actually shows when the frikken vcore drops... so if any of your neo2 owners know whats up with that lemme know.

ozzimark and i were thinking the mem controller was flaky which is why i had to be running the 150 divider but like dog said, its hte neo2 and the problem it provides to get superpi stable cuz of lack of ram. at least the new bioses SE makes help the situation out.

if im then gonna be keepin my ram below 215 i really think im gonna put hte bh-5 back in.

another one of my main issues is selecting voltage for hte core. its like trial an error to get a decent voltage and it almost seems that certain combinations are more stable than others.. right now im 1.45 + 8.3% im pretty sure which is currently proving to be stable. even tho i could complete superpi with less; once i got my memory voltage sorted that is.

2nd 148 CABNE 0528 GPMW

Here's my 2nd 148 CABNE 0528, yet another awesome 3Ghz chip. Performance and underload temperature is identical to the 1st one I'd tested :D :D the only difference is this one has slightly lower MaxTcase than the other one.

Damn you 3Ghz posters with less volts than me :slapass: :D

You definately going to push me over the edge to get another mthbrd! Cant get it out of my mind tht better vCore regulation will allow me to run lower vCore for 3Ghz.

Until i get another mobo I wont know for sure. Just saw a post over at dfi-street on the new RDX200 CF-DR and the guy is running 3Ghz with 1.4v over 3hrs prime95 stable on WC

:slobber:

His chip is a Opteron 150 0534SPMW dont know if it is CABNE/CABYE or CABGE most likely not CABGE, heheeee

Just getting a chance to play with this. 148 CABYE 0528 GPMW received from ewiz on wednesday. 2.8@stock volts is stable. Here is a 32m pi shot. Also ran prime large fft for about an hour with no errors. 33-34 idle, 42-43 load. Upped volts to 1.325x113% Can do a 1m pass, but fail 32m. Still have my timings pretty tight, might try to loosen them up a little.Temps now, 36-37 idle, 45-46 load. Would like to up the volts more but temps are climbing fast. My venice never goes over 43 with almost 1.6v. Cooling with big typhoon. Don't know if I will make 3.0, but still seems like a damn nice chip.

sounds just like mine.

i'm at 2.9 with 1.55 volts but prime large fft's errored out at 12 hours :(

2800 now, just gotta use the divider... stability only tested using dawn of war for an hour, but I play games, so that's stable for me.

thanks man....I loves these CABNE, I thought about getting WC for the Opty but the Big Typhoon + FM121 fan perform so well even in a closed case that I'm just going to stick with air :D :D

hehe....these opty are sure fun to play with. Though I kinda missed my X2 as I noticed day to day usage none of the single core can touch the X2, ever since nvdia release the 81.84 drivers to take advantage of the dual core I think it definitely close the gap between the two in gaming, running at the same clock speed the X2 with 81.84 driver still rules the Aquamark over this opty (105K vs 99K), 3dmark 05 is very close but the Opty really shine on both 01 and 03. But I know one thing for certain....my X2 will not do 3.0Ghz on air :D :D I don't think I should do a detail comparo between the two as I don't think it's fair :D :D

I hope you get a good one man....where did you get the 175 and for how much if you don't mind me asking.

Here is a better update. Man I love this chip! CABNE 0530APMW it will go up to 3.3ghz at stock volts. But I am starting here. One thing I did notice is that it does not like the 180 or the 166 divider if I use a divider I have to use the 150 or 133. Thats the only flaw I can see so far.

I just ordered it from monarch, 599+ ship, they are more expensive than 4400's, but I'm banking on better silicon overall, I'm sure it will do at least 2.8 24/7 anyway. I don't think they actually had it in stock though since I ordered on the 19th and they say it won't ship until monday, which is kinda ok, because my biostar (tide me over board) will be here on monday and I can just throw my 4400 in it for right now. That'll at least give me a good idea of how well these biostar boards are since everything else will be the same. :)

On a side note, I'm going to try this low volt burn in method on the operton ( I have to express that I totally do not believe in cpu burn in, but hey...whatever, I still gotta try it to see if it'll yield me higher clocks.) Mainly because this will be the last chip upgrade I get until the next socket comes out. I suspect the overall clocks will be the same once I hit a voltage wall, it may clock higher at a lower voltage, (which is not the max clock of the chip) but then, that's useless to me... oh well, time will tell.

Thought I had 2.9 stable but prime just failed after about 1 1/2 hours, so I just went for 3.0 for 1m pi. Temps seem to be staying about the same, even with voltage at 1.4x113% Here's the shot. No more time for today. Tomorrow I'll play with my memory settings more, I think that is what's holding me back.

hi mate

i think you should play with you MAL and Read Preamble timings....should give you better stability

3.1ghz 1m superpi stable.

IHS on, more left in it. This is on an xp-120 with a low speed panaflo L1A

http://images.dr3vil.com/upload2/3.1ghz.JPG

ignore the crappy time, my memory was running @ 200mhz to isolate cpu.

More tweaking.

Got superpi 32M stable now at 3000 mhz :)

had to use the 166 divider. i think i might have a weak mem controller (again).

what ram is that as the rime is tad slow

it's 2x1 gig crucial ballistix.... not great for benching :)

i upped it to the 180 divider (ram now at 272 HTT) and i got 25 minutes 16 seconds.

Here are some more results. It seems that this cpu responds well to volts. Does anyone have thoughts or ideas on some other timings I could try... Thanks
