whoa anther good one

is it the same stepping as the others or?

maybe it's time for an asus? :toast: :p:

Already told you that I hate you harley ;)

Nice clocks... I got 27.4s on my diego at same speed but 273mhz 2*256 bh5. Interlacing+gig must make a big difference.

'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 :).

Not rma the 144, rma the mb.

i'm sick of changing motherboards....so i'll stay put until Socket M2....I had Asus A8N SLI Deluxe, DFI NF4 UltraD, Abit AN8 Ultra and now this SLI-D....i think my wavemaster gave me official notice it no longer wants to be messed with :slap:

Well havta make the timings a little sloppy still gettin used to the chip. Also am on win2k and by all means not optimized lol

Well damn I must suck at pi... I was running 273*11 2-2-2-5-7 2*256 BH5 tight timings fresh win xp pro sp2 install diagnostics mode max mem 104 ricky tweak real time explorer closed :stick:

I'm confused about the DFI/AMD stuff.

I thought AMD's idea here was to make AMD workstations cheaper by removing the need for Registered ECC memory. Therefore creating a workstation market/low end server market for these chips.

Do the 939s work in 940 boards? Where are the 939's suppose to OFFICIALLY go? Are there 939 server boards as opposed to desktop boards? I did not know this.

146

I was going to wait to try the 146 that came today( thanks Vandi) until my new board came Monday to fill in for this rma board. However, after looking at it for one and a half hours, I gave in. I won't post any ss as I only have single channel.

The long and short of it is it will do 300x10 but at 1.52v. I wouldn't trade my 144 for it(9x334@1.4). Even Team Japan showed less volts with the 144 vs the 146. If I didn't have the 144, I would think the 146 was great. On high air or water I think this stepping of the 144 will most likely do as well as the 146. Who knows what the next stepping will bring.

Thanks. Now scrambling to interpret your 1m and Sandra numbers at that clock. :D 1:1 is so damn sexy!

whoa MM crucial 2GB at DDR600.......i never thought i'd see this :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: have you been able to run them with other CPUs as well at that speed or are we seeing an Opteron memory controller in awesome action...in any case this is remarkable stuff

i have reason to believe that the memory controller on these opterons are pretty good. i have a stick of ballistix that used to top out at like 250mhz with 2.5-2-2. now with a board that my bh-5 is clocking worse on, the ballistix gained 7mhz :stick:

Don't they have a Fry's where you live? Just grab an Ultra-D and hang on to your receipt.

No reason the 146 should clock better than the 144. Just luck of the draw as usual. Hard to justify the extra expense just to get the flex of a 10 multi, but still a good deal.

Barely scratched the surface of what the 939 Opterons will do but I think this thread need a FAQ and an OC summary in post one if you want to go for stickification. :stick:

or a new thread w/ the faq, and strict rules on posts limited to results w/ screens only(total machine specs would be nice too)

We need an XS member with a a lot of time, too much energy and an anal retentive personality to police the new thread. So we only have half the XS membership who really qualify as candidates for owner/operator of the proposed thread. :D

Oh yes, we also need 939 in the title because I think the threads were overlooked by a lot of members who were wondering who the kooks were who were playing with server CPUs.

no time for 32m's ATM, but tommorw when its cool "72f", lol cool for florida Ill do a ton more runs. :)

or just crank up your AirCon like the Japs did heheheheh

at 7pm its about 74f from the hot air from the daytime thats built up.

feels awefully similar in summer to I place i know heheheh....gets stupid in Sydney as well so i know what you mean.....

cover the windows, blanket the walls, and close off vents to un-used rooms(or if all rooms are used, make a sacrifce or 2)

hahahahaha

ahh screw it, pop off the vent, slide that mobo in :D

what's the best ram to use for these optys?

My contribution

144 CABNE 0530APMW on MSI Neo4 Plat SLI

Avg cooling, slow mem speed and timings. Not bad for first hour out the box.

have you tested that board for max HTT.......just in case it was holding you back for higher OC

try 32M run as well there....looking very good once again congrats :toast:
