Or be careful...;)
Well yeah, I'm really careful with it, but I was able to get pads for free, and they work really well. :) I still have to mount it up to see how it goes, but it should help fight against any sort of chipping, since my block should thread before it touches those pads, so all pressure after that should be nice and even. :)Quote:

I've got a question:
Here are my specs:
939 dual sata 2 (official bios 1.7)
opti 165 (ccb1e 0608mpmw) @ stock volts
1gb transcend pc 3200
tuniq tower 120
I get a funny windows freeze if I go above 2.3 ghz :slash: Divider is 14. Are there any special settings on dual sata 2 I missed? I think i should run 300htt on stock volts with this proc and cooling :confused:
Temps dont go over 42°.
Is your LDT/HTT multiplier set to 3x? Is your memory on a divider? Those are the two immediate issues I see...
Cpu-z shows memory divider at 14 (I can't find that setting in bios). LDT/HTT multiplier? I don't remember that setting :slobber:
Another dumper stepping to add to the list:
CCBWE 0541RPMW 2.6GHz with 1.5v, 2.7GHz with 1.55v (just 3D stable, not prime)
From a friend's 165 he just replaced with an 0610. His last chip was...a bit lack-luster.
It's your Lightning Data Transport (LDT) speed, basically what the quad-pumped speed is to Intel, the bandwidth to your chipset. ;) You want to keep that at or under 1GHz, and @ stock it's 1GHz (5x200). And as you raise your HTT over 200, well, it gets goofy when it goes too high.
OH now i remember! I set that to 1000mhz :eek: Will try to lower it and test :D
Sorry for there nubish questions. Everyone has to learn..
EDIT: Currently at 2400 @ stock volts.
How about a CCWBE UPBW anyone seen any results?
Edit : Nevermind
Another good way is, once again, put electrical tape over the SMD's- protect the core and caps in one ;)Quote:

So this is where I am now-

I think 1.25+113% will work for 1.4125 at 3GHz

Went from 3050 to 3025 and a few steps in between with clockgen, seems to be working OK. See if it'll last
Overall, 5 mounts later, it was worth it. no more freezes either, instead it fails prime like a normal chip
I'm very happy with my Opteron so far :D
Some benchies:
41392 3d01se
13521 3dmark05
6789 3dmark06
beat all my old scores with lower clocks on gfx :)
Hey guys, I could use a little help getting past 3051MHz..
Core 1 lasts for 3 minutes at 1.475, so I tried 1.5v, and I get same failure after 3 minutes. This is 339x9, with HTT multi still at 3.. I will try 2.5 and 2 in a minute but it didnt seem to help earlier. 1.525 and 1.55 didn't do anything either. I don't know wtf the problem is.. I'm gonna mess with some ram timings, htt stuff.. but if anyone has suggestions in the meantime that'd be great!
PS nice 05 score lenniz.. hope to match it soon :eleph:
It's called a "limit". Every chip has one. :p:Quote:

But yeah, you'd think an extra .075v would get me 9MHz.. Oh well, 3024@1.45v ain't too bad
You mean like this?Quote:

That's what my 165 looked like before putting on those pads. :) They do help protect, but the pads do a better job at protecting against chipped cores.

1.45v is down to around 41C (38-39 without x1900xt under load). Without the IHS, there isn't much variance in temps between voltages- 1.5v still resulted in around 42C.Quote:

edit: yeah tseuhpsyde just like that. Except mine's half assed and doesnt look that neat
I very slightly chipped an SMD on the old 0550vpmw because I didn't use any tape
Temps staying the same at different vcore could mean a bad mount.Quote:

edit: think I may have gotten rid of the 3033MHz barrier. Now it's suddenly priming at 3051@1.475v, 8 tests through.. all I did was twist and move the waterblock a bit to maximize contact. (and run some high volts/mhz for suicide screenies, don't know how that would affect it though). That and tighten the screws a bit.. there's an enormous amount of pressure on the core now. The blue springs that come with the wb are 35lbs at half compression, and they're compressed quite a bit more than half.
Looks like you were right after all thunder! Lucky a remount wasn't necessary :)
Lower CPU-NB frequency to 800 MHz and leave NB-SB frequency at 1GHz. Also try OCW Beta 2 and 7 and see which one you get better results with.Quote:

I'll trade you for my 2350 MHz 1.35V.
CCBWE 0604 TPMW 165
got this one working in 289 at 1,36 volts. Needed to do :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of tweaking for memories. I somehow think that this stepping could have better OC abilities. Without this Horrible memory Controller.
I am using Asus A8n-sli Premium With set of G.SKILLS. Tried Yesterday DFI Ultra-D but results were horrible in every sense...
And btw i am old DFI user, So i know all the tricks with memory tweaks and whatsoever.
Crazy but true A8n-sli Premium Works better with G.SKILLS and this Stepping.
Temps now 28 idle and stress 39. Maybe With better Memory Configuration could reach 2.8 ghz...
though i think that this Mobo Cant do more than 298 FSB:slapass:
When you post your final stable screen shot, you really should show the time in the task manager instead of stopping the test. Also lets us see full load temps.Quote:

It's gone down a degree or two since I tightened it way up though. Looks like 3GHz@1.4v may work after all
