and i ran this yesterday for comparison.... sighQuote:

ok so does it seem like im the only one seeing great results with YE's or better yet, "cooler" results with YE's over NE's? as in shoudl i sidegrade and release my NE into the wild for a YE? hmmz....
oh and whats the cheapest of the good DFI boards... i might need to go to a stable clocking board. or learn to be happy with 2.9ghz.. one or the other.
No, you're not the only one noticing great results with Y's. ;)Quote:

I hate waiting, I'm probably the most impatient person ever. The only Opteron procs I can find anywhere are CABGE's now on eBay -- the CABYE 146 went for over $350 USD -- not what I wanna pay for that. How much more terrible are the CABGE's from the CABNE's and CABYE's?
Anyone selling their 144 CABNE yet? LOL!

Popped the IHS of my 0536GPMW (Opty 144)
12C lower temps stressed :|
And 70 mhz improvement :|

Your's is becoming the most asked question right now. Do a little research, and you'll know more than anyone can probably put in one post.Quote:

ahh, thank you kind sirs. you have done a great service to the young padwons in the community. so if i decide to do it.... ive seen howQuote:

Pretty disapointed so far but I guess I need to take some action on better cooling. I'm using the heatsink from my winchester 3200 since I lapped it pretty well, looks about the same as the stock one but maybe it's worse. Looks like I may have to hook the water back up but thats a pita and I was hoping for some air goodness. max tcase is 57c if that means anything.
Starting to wonder if this is better than my winchester, cache not withstanding.
Has anyone with dfi lp and a 146 tried the 9x multi? I can't get it to boot into windows at 9x300. Seems like my winchester had 9x issues too.
I have same exact s*it, 146 CABYE 0536, but at least I can prime 2.7Ghz with 1.360v reported by CPU-Z. I use Thermaltake Venus 12 copper cooler, I lapped it + my opteron is ihsless. I also have a very good contact between cpu and cooler. Looks like I can prime up to 2.85GHz@1.568 but anything higher fails. I somehow can run super pi 32m at 3.003Mhz and super pi 1m at 3050MhzQuote:

Wonder if BigTyphoon Cooler would help :confused: the gap is to wide between stable prime and suicide screenie, I managed to to run 3200Mhz on suicide screenie.
My temps: Idle ~33C with 1.568v and 51C load with same voltage. With 1.600v ~35C idle and 54C load.
Anybody have any idea why cannot I prime at ~2.92 Ghz or more?
Hopefully burn-in will take effect and I'll get better cooling, still have to repay some $$ to parents :slapass:
very nice ;)Quote:

Prime at 2700 1.36v is a long way from my situation. Looks like you got the better of the two chips. Maybe popping the lid would help. I was actually stable at 1.35 2400mhz so thats not bad. Your chips pretty darn hot being neked and hitting 50 load. I noticed when I went from 1.525 to 1.55 I jumped like 5c load so thats not a good thing. Maybe they jump in heat output after 1.55ish or it could be my sink became overloaded at that point.
Think I'll try the half-life2 burn in technique and see how that goes. Been mos since I played any games and I'm sure there are some guys who need to die under my opterown powa.....can't prime but im sure hl can probably play at 2750.
Does anybody have any idea what the black gunk they use to glue the ihs is? Silicone maybe?
I would also like to know where everyone's buying their CABYE 0540 chips..
gbomb....RTV silicone
christ.. that's why MSI boards suck for OCing... wow. It's a shame really, because my board is the same way, and it performs VERY well in all other area... but voltage stability = bad. foo!!Quote:

Highest temp was exactly 50C. New bios didn't help neither did volts.
wtf, this cpu should prime at least 2.95GHz error free
@gbomb944 put your chip on water :p:
You should give it more volts, the newer batches don't run high with low volts like the first ones. My 144 cabne 0540 needs 1.65V to stabilize at 3.0ghz. At default voltage I could do games at 2.7ghz but wasnt stable in prime.Quote:

This is kinda a suicide SS. Well not really.. but the voltage and cooling resulted in 60c load. I was like F-That and took it back down to 2.8ghz @ 52c load.
Better cooling and tweaking is still in order. I want 3ghz, but I couldn't get the system to boot at 10x300 and wasn't going to give it any more vcore with stock cooling lol.

i think all portuguese OC'RS hope that! including me :toast:Quote:

A little off topic, what stresses cpu more, small or large ffts? I think that 2.9 prime stable is possible, just haven't had the time to play with it more. Here's a shot right before I stopped it, and after.
I took my IHS off also. Here's with 1.648v reported by CPU-ZQuote:

Ram is 20min WinMemTest stable. Still can't prime, how the hell you ppl prime those chips so easily :stick:
what stepping is your opteron
try bumping to Read Preamble to 6 or 7.......i'd also relax the RAM timings in general just to make sure nothing is throwing it out
