Nvidia has made the Chipset on the Ultra-D harder to mod to SLI by puttin enamel over the points that need to be connected, although it can still be done according to what I've read. I've also heard some claim the SLI version gets cherry Nvidia chipset that'll clock higher. My SLI mobo has actually seen higher HTT than my Ultra-D - 370 vs.344 IIRC) so maybe there is something to that rumor.
Hm, would be very interesting to know at which temps the coldbug kicks in for these - are they as good as the FX's (read: can run dry-ice temps with a good container (chilly1 or mousepot)) or not (read: experience coldbug at less-than-dry-ice temps, just like several members have had with 4000+ San Diegos). If the first, I'm in for one at all costs:cool:
No OC penalty going 2x1gig with my Patriot Infineon set. Not going to set anything but the major timings for now. I'll try to see if I can get it below 25 minutes with tweaks later. This CPU is going straight into my gaming rig as soon as testing has completed. Crucial Ballsitix at 300 (334 - 9:10 divider) might be ideal with this CPU.

OT but those timings for your 2GB kit seem really good @ 250 :clap:
wanna sell em :D
I think my Infineons at 265 (same timings) are second only to Gaspar's Infineons, but he runs CAS 3. Paid $200 from Outpost so they we're a steal. Sell them? Lol.
Dang. Now I really want the Crucials because they'll hit the sweet spot on this CPU.

A lot depends on how long it was left running at such high Vcore and if it overheatedQuote:

Ultra-D>infinity
Stupid USPS being slow as usual, no CPU till tomorrow (and if it's not here tomorrow I'll slaughter kittens)
I wish I could have gotten it somewhere other than from vandi because this wait is horrible :(
As soon as Jason, Harley, and I get ours...Quote:

It didn't post and i had to reset the cmos. but I have it running now at 280 1:1 at stock volts 1.4. in cpuz it shows as 1.388Quote:

I thought Vandi was shipping everthing 2-day USPS. Maybe thats just here in California. The wait is horrible in New Jersey I'm sure. ;)
i get what your saying. i'm used to waiting patiently for stuff when i buy other stuff and when i'm all excited about it the wait is killer
Priority takes 2 days from everywhere BUT cali it seems...
Had to "cheat" a little by bumping the clock a bit as well as tightening timings to get the Infineons under 25 minutes on 32M SuperPi.

At this clock speed 2x1gig doesn't seem like more than the memory controller can handle. Maybe at higher clocks the load on the controller will start to inhibit the OC (where 2x512 wouldn't) but it looks good at 3ghz. The Winchester in my sig would problems doing the same thing. I'd have to throw bigger dividers and knock down the bandwidth to maintain high clocks, which of couse is not ideal. The OC kings should stick to their FX-57s and leave the Opties to us cheap bastard gamers so we can get the most out of the expensive 2gig sets we're forced to buy for more and more games. ;)
Would love to see someone run their Crucial 2gig set at 300 1:1 to really give the Opties a test.
The best part of this for me is I have a CPU that looks like it'll clock high enough to not bottleneck the SLI 7800GT rig I'm building. Cheap Bastard gamers might look for this deal to come around again.
LOL, I got my 146 today and don't have a good mb to use.Quote:

He's a member named Vandi423, you can PM him
These chips look awesome so far, anyone know where you can find them in Canada?
DFI does not and will not support Opteron CPUs......just great :rolleyes:

actual thread
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...331#post240331
well that's disappointing .......very very disappointing :mad:
EVERYONE is using DFI NF4 lmfao try reading the threads...
DFI doesn't "support" DTR CPUs as well but my 3000+ DTR flys along fine at 2.95ghz under ice water on my DFI NF3...
I sure am glad I didn't read this before I clocked my 144 at 9x334. I'm not sure what your talking about. I used several bios and never had any problems with any of them.Quote:

Hey dogsx2,
when do u think this thread is going to be made,
'The Official Opteron Overclocking Thread'?
Hehhee, its sure starting to look like it!
Oh just a side note, is their any particular reason you are RMAing your Opty? Is it faulty, I saw a post where u mention tht it is only running in single channel? Could you tell me who the seller on eBay was? You can RMA the processor through AMD :).
Your nic is '2dogs' over at dfi-street.com
there is not official support....so if you have a problem down the line you'll get the big woop.........I'll still be using these Opterons of course as they clearly work in DFI but it would be good if they were further optimised.....Quote:
