I have a vapo LS and i am using it with my 148 CABYE 0536- Same bios as you, but i max out at 3355 superPI 1M stable. my cpu temp shows as 200+, is there a way to show the right cpu temp?

The temp in smart guardian is probably right, but SG can't display negative numbers, speedfan and mbm5 display sub zero temps in the correct format.

Load temps in the mid 40s but I think I'll have to go to 1.7v if I'm going to get to 3.1ghz 32M stable. Only one of the 3 Opties I've tested made it to 3.1ghz 32m stable on water. Two of them came up a little short which I suspect will also be the fate of the 146 CABYE 0536 GPMW. How does my 59C MAxTCase rating compare with both your CABYE 0536 GPMWs?

hard to compare due to different rigs and cooling on cpus.. see in my sig 144s are using much better water cooling than 146 right now

Opteron 144 CABYE 0536 GPMW #1 maxtcase = 57C
Opteron 144 CABYE 0536 GPMW #2 maxtcase = 59C maxes 3024mhz at 1.68v 32M better clocker than #1 by 30-60mhz

Opteron 146 CABYE 0540 FPBW #1 maxtcase = 59C - currently testing
Opteron 146 CABYE 0540 FPBW #2 maxtcase = haven't tested yet

Has anyone tried this stepping or heard about it:

Is it something wrong ? I just dont get it . Remounted evep. couple times and no improvements :( Are they realy THAT Hot ? :eek:

Max. bench speed so far is 3250MHz @ 1.64V , passes 3DMarks and Super PI 1M (didnt try higher yet) . No improvements from going to higher Vcore , probably cause it get too Hot :D ... with Vapo LS ... :slapass: Seems like a bad match for my VX4000 , that wont run over 260 @ 2.0-2-2-5 no matter what voltage i am providing , because of lame dividers . Only managed to get 25.98 super pi 1M , because of low mem. frequency , 232MHz @ 2.0-2-2-5 .... Damn mem. wont run next level of 270MHz ... :mad:

http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/525/25986ma.gif

PS , What is the best BIOS to use with those Opterons and DFI LP UT nF4 SLI-DR ? Any help will be highly appreciated ! :toast:

i have got the same time at 1M with my 144@H2O

325mhz 2-2-2-5 must be a record or close.

that was a glitch with software of course

no chance that Winbond will ever run on those timings.............i think he says that RAM was at 232

Ofcourse it was :) CPU-Z got confused :D Real clocks - 232MHz @ 2.0-2-2-5 :)

Oh my god! I am tempted with that CABNE Chips? Could anyone help me to find those stuffs... i'm still searching for it...

That's my dream to have one... last upgrade of my life, though!

Finally got my Opty 146! Setting here on desk...

Chip reads:
CABYE 0536GPMW

Hopefully it does as good as the other CABYE's. :D I'll play with it some tonight and tomorrow.

EDIT: I ordered this last week from Ewiz.

Yeah, i orded mine from ewiz too, i also got a CABYE, but i don't recall the rest since i didn't write it down. But i assume it's the from the same batch that eveyone has been been from ewiz. i was able to get into windows at 2.9, but have other issues with my motherboard, so i dunno the full potential just yet. at 2800 it's pretty stable, and i couldn't get the temps past 42°C with any cpu stress test utilities - so i don't think i am being limited by heat.

my results. I seem to be getting similar stuff as others for the 0530's. (copied it from another thread to put it in it's proper place here)

I'm testing a Opteron 146 0530GPMW from Monarch right now.

I'm thinking something might be wrong with my mobos temp sensor because it seems kind of low. With my Venice 3000, and this Opty146, I can't get near over 50c on load. I'm using an MSI Neo4 Platinum (latest bios), with an XP-90, and a medium speed Panaflo. Should I push my vcore to 1.65-1.7v?

Max tcase: 57c

Opteron 146
2800 @ 1.5v (33c idle, 42 load)

I've tried voltages up to 1.6 and it dosn't seem to get more than 2.83 on air.

Are everybody from the U.S?
Here i EU we cant get these CABNE, and CAYNE are only avalible at the 148.
I can get this one instead of my CABGE :
148 CABYE 0536xpmw
I havent seen anyone posting about the XPMW stepping?
Would this be better that what I have already:
146 CABGE at 1,55V 265x10

as you can see some posts before i´m from portugal and i have a cabne 148

But are they still avalible in EU?

guys we've started receiving CABYE 0540FPBW CPUs....these bastards are all going over 3GHz ......some even better than CABNE 0530APMW chips i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good dual core stepping as i ordered one yesterday :woot:

check this one out...prime stable at 1.42v 3GHz (image works when you click on it and then refresh the page ;) )

I love this chip :) Best OC'er I've had in a long time! Does 2.9GHz Stock Votls, needed a bit of a bump to get to 3GHz. Gonna try for higher after this post. Finding max CPU stable speed then going to look into mem speed.

Are you sure? One of the first was bought in Europe.

MAN! VERY NICE :clap: :banana:

I wonder how far a CABYE 0536GPMW would OC.

CABYE is hit or miss, but CABNE is guaranteed to do 3.0Ghz, all 3 of mine did 3.0Ghz with less than 1.50v 17+hr prime stable. My best CABNE has MaxTcase of 67'C and wickedld9 is the new owner now (had already shipped it to him) :D I'm still playing with the 3rd one....MaxTcase only 63'C, the first day it needed 1.50v to do 3.0Ghz, after some burn-in I now can prime it at 3.0Ghz with only 1.45v :D :D

i think you'll find that these particular steppings i quoted ALL do 3GHz

here is another one....this guys is on tt bigwater so probably same as high end air..........he's got another CPU with same stepping that needs less vcore than this one

also eva2000 posted his 3GHz chip here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...51#post1107351

If I personally had some better cooling myself, I would have kicked up the voltage even more, but as you can see, temperatures are starting to rocket, and I do not want to risk the longevity of the CPU. :rolleyes:

Here's a suicide:

Those 0540 cabye's are sweet. I love the big oc's with little volts. Nice cabbage 150 too. Probably can go higher. Way better than the 146's have shown so far.

I've got a couple of weird stepping questions so I figure I'll toss them out.

First is Has anyone noticed that these are only even weeks, where are the odd weeks going? Mabye they make 940's one week and 939's the next or perhaps some are fx's?

other question is that everything thats xxMx is supposed to be chips from different batches cobbled together. Is that true, a myth, or doesn't apply to opterons?

The only XXaW's I've seen are the 0536VPAW cabbage oem's that some got from monarch but maybe I've missed something. My spaw was pretty sweet and rumor has it that aw is usually better, true or not?

Lastly what makes something a cabge vs an ne ye? I've heard that fourth letter means a different rev such as y is newer than g in alphabetical order. This doesn't seem to make sense since they are overlapping a lot of these weeks. Are they different production lines or different fabs?

A lot of questions but I figure somebody around here probably knows.
