did you see my response from repoman the last page? mine went from 311 FSB to 334 FSB with just his tweaks.Quote:

But I wouldn't recommend going above 1.5V if your are gonna be aircooling a lidded processor, unless you're living in Iceland.;)

I thought about taking of the IHS but I use a Thermalright XP-90c HS...I have the original HS that came with the CPU I could always put that back on if I took off the IHS as it seats down evenly....My idle temps are 43c and running dual prime it raises near 58c. Just wondering if there might be a bad connection on the IHS...I know the XP-90c has made good contact....

I have hardly tweaked anything yet, so I will try and get the voltage down to perhaps 1.425v, and that will help a bit I guess.
The side of my case is off right now, and temps are peaking at 47-49 degrees, which is slightly better.
My plan is to cut a hole in the side of the case, and create a kind of windtunnel going from the BT to outside the case, and stick an extra 120mm fan there to aid the airflow. I saw this guy on sharkyforums who did that:

Pretty neat I thought.
Yeah that's a pretty sweet idea, I was gonna do that when I had my BT but ended up just getting water instead
Just received my Opty 165, CCBBE 0610DPMW. Sofar, it runs prime stable @ 2.6GHz @ stock volts with IHS and XP-120. The only trouble is my ram. I know my 2GB G.Skill DDR500 can do 260MHz @ 3-4-3-6-1 (stock DDR500 HZ, 3-4-4-8-1). Now I have to put it down to 143MHz, resulting in a poor 208MHz @ 3-3-3-8. Should I raise the vcore, is the mem controller weak, is it something else? Still I'm pretty happy with this Opty tough :woot:
I hope the temps are more accurate on the CFX3200-DR then they are on the SLI-DR Expert and Venus. Otherwise your in the 50C+ range.Quote:

I didn't use AS5 though, just the stuff which came with. I will re-do it tomorrow with AS5 and see if that can shave of a few degrees.
The main thing is I think the airflow within the case.
I'm definately going to have to put the hole in the side asap because right now the airflow is just not good enough to keep the graphics card or the cpu cool enough. Funnily enough the chipset is staying at a resonable temperature, and I'm using the stock cooler there.
Still at 1.45v with the CCBBE, it wouldn't do 1.425, and I tried a variety of settings with it.
I've primed an hour and run 3dmark05 four times, so I'm fairly sure that's stable, though I will do a proper prime run when I get the cooling sorted.
I think it is reporting correctly, because I've been keeping track of the ambients in my room, with and without air conditioning to see the variable effects on the temps on the mobo read out and the smartguardian readout. I think the mobo is correct, as it usually reads that my CPU, idle, is like 4C-5C above ambient. That makes sense. And my smartguardian reads like 1-3C above the mobo. Sometimes it might get it dead on, sometimes it might not. I'm sure there is a margin for error. And I'm defiinitely sure that every mobo is not like it's brother, so that their are plenty of discrepancies when comparing two of the same mobos and their temp read outs.Quote:

Hey Burky is that a panaflow fan u got in ur rig there?
Does anyone know what the latest opteron steppings are, because due to the demand in australia, most retailers are sold out and ETA is the 16th of june. Im guessing they would bring in the latest ones. :confused:
getting an opteron 170 @ 2650mhz with 1.275 vcore is pretty good right? What are opterons running, the new ccb1e and dpmws, @ 1.275-1.3 vcore what are they running?
yea its weird mine idles 37-38 degrees, I thought that was highQuote:

Does 3gig at 1.45v
I have one of two problems: A) My hardware is defective, or B) I am simply bad at overclocking. I think it's the latter.
With stock volts, I get a blue screen at 300*9=2700. With stock volts again, I get a blue screen at 270*9=2430. It turns out, I pretty much get a blue screen at anything over 1800mhz. Yes, with 3x, ram dividers, ldt volt at 1.3, etc, etc. I'm thinking that it's a Windows XP thing, considering I didn't bother reformatting, reinstalling drivers, or anything. It might also be a hardware problem, but likely not, considering it boots fine and runs fine. I did, however, reset CMOS a few times, but that didn't do anything. I will be reformatting in a few days and giving it another shot, but for now, will be running at stock. Anybody have any tips to help me out?
Try increasing the vcore. LDT and chipset voltage do little in terms of stability imo.

what settings do you run your mem at ? voltage ?
Finally stable at 2.85ghz @ 1.275 :banana: found out it was actually my uccc timings with the patriot memory DDR500 still running 1:1 and @ 1T:woot: been playing Tiger Woods 2006 for over 2 hours while priming on both cores and no errors or lag in the game :banana::clap::banana:
BTW I have the CCB1E 0550VPMW stepping highest temps during dual prime and play Tiger was 52c which I consider pretty good on air....
BTW Prime has been running over 8 hours now just got done playing Tiger during the last 2 hours
Yes, it's panaflo, but it's not my case. It's just an idea I got off someone on Sharky Forums who has the same case and a big typhoon.Quote:

Here's a 165 CCB1E 0609FPBW, I'm pretty happy with 2.7 Prime stable at stock volts. Upped the Vcore to 1.4v for 2.8. 3Ghz seems a nog go so far... Have been gaming a bit at that speed and did some SuperPi but Prime fails instantly.
LDT, Chipset volts have no effect so far (did on some other cpu's I had) and RAM timings on my UCCC's are pretty loose. 3-4-8-4-11-16 and 9ns on the async latency and 7ns for the preamble time.
By the way it runs hot as hell. 40-43c at 1.4v 2.8Ghz
Here's a screenshot.
Thunderstruck that is way impressive, that's what mine did with IHS on water. If you remove IHS and get water cooling 3GHz@1.4 or 1.375v may be in your reach :woot: Which translates into 3.2GHz stable at ~1.6vQuote:

I've gone down on my clock, and my temps are now 47 maximum after over an hours of dual-priming which is quite acceptable.
Right now I'm doing 2.82ghz on 1.375v.

It seems pretty good considering I'm only 80mhz down, but the voltage is 0.075v lower and I'm running cooler too.
Still priming...I will update the picture in a while.
Increased vcore all the way up to 1.55, didn't do anything, computer couldn't even start up and got stuck on 3 red leds. RAM is at 250, using the 5/6 divider. I hope that a clean reformat will fix things up. I'll report in a few days, thanks.Quote:
