I'm leaving in 10 minutes to picj up a new 3800 X2 at pcclub, is there a stepping or week to look out for? Or to RUN FROM??
thx!! (and no they don't have 165/170/175)

Be careful with voltage on that chip...... I've been testing another 170 tonight (I'll have to check the stepping) that runs 2.5 @ 1.23 and tops out at 2.6 @ 1.375 (and the temps go to hell)....... Any voltage over 1.40 shuts it down in an instant........ Looking for the FIRE sale...:) :)Quote:

Nope it's just a screwed up chip. I've already removed the IHS and tested it in 3 different boards and it does the same in all of them......... You know it's hosed when it does 2.5 @ 1.23... Happy trails. :)Quote:

Opty 175 CCBWE 0543 TPMW Running Dual Prime now at 1.42Vcore and 250x10. This chip is not Dual Prime stable at 2.6gig and 1.5 Vcore. Asus Probe temps showing 54C while priming.
54C? what cooling are you running? (obviously not the VapoLS in your sig lol).Quote:

Make sure your ram is not running 1:1, I'm having problems with anything above 255 on the RAM, though that will depend on mobo/ram combo and timings of course.
Nope... you're not blind... I am. ;) My chips are CCBWE 0534SPMWs. Sorry about that little mixup. :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

Nope, Vapo is in the closet. I'm using the stock heatsink that came with the cpu. I was able to get it to 2.65Ghz using 1.55 Vcore. I'm priming right now. I wasn't able to get 2.7Ghz stable going all the way up to 1.6Vcore. Higher will have to wait on phase. What kind of difference in temps is the TT Big Typhoon making compared to the stock sink? My room temp here is about 27C maybe a tad higher. Sunny Florida.Quote:

my 170 is currently stable at 270x10 with 1.375+113%
currently testing at 275x10 , ~45C while dual priming
and hopefully 280x10 to follow

Any info/suggestions on this one guys?
@Fluence-i dont know, i took a pic of it but the flash on the camera just got reflected right back and you cant make out anything, and i hadnt realised that at the moment. ive tried to take my heatsink off but i have no clue how to, ive tried and its just impossible
guys.. just a quick question..
how does the 170 does nowadays.. like the one in monarch now ? i really do feel like getting a dualcore that can do 2.8Ghz..... my 165 is now running at 2.7Ghz.. but it isn't maxing out my RAM.... i need something that can go above 2.75Ghz...
My suggesiton, be happy with what you got. that 50mhz won't make you feel much better really after you look at how much money you spent swapping things in and out. If you do get 50mhz.Quote:

Heh... it's just from experience... wouldn't have snatched my optie if my x2 3800+ didn't die really. Think in retrospect though, if you get better cooling than what you have now, maybe that optie is 3.1ghz chip... maybe 3.2ghz chip. Maybe something that was awesome under water or air just don't like phase... many things to think about. At the end, unless you are bench maniac, 50mhz doesn't really make much difference :) Want better cooling such as phase change (devilish grin on side)? I see you are local to me.... come come.... :)Quote:

i dont want to mess with watercooling or phase change. dont have anymore money after buying this rig.
I just went totally nuts and ordered a 175. It's my christmas present, so all is good. Now here's hoping it OCs well!
Same here retail 175 from Newegg coming next week and while I was at it I couldn't resist GSkill 2x1gb HZ and a Sapphire X1800XT.:woot:Quote:

DFI eXpert mobo
Stable at 2.4Ghz with 1.35v (just above stock). Idle's at 24-26C, load is 38C. Prime stable (forget how long) and game stable. If it doesn't go higher, I at least have a 4800+ so I'm content. Once I get a better case fan, I think I can take this one to 2.6 if not higher.
Only hint I have for people having issues -- check your LDT/FSB ratio (HTT Multiplier) ... Auto has not worked for me at all ... I've had to manually set it to get it working.
Later this week I'll go higher and post screens with my highest stable.
nloding-put 1.45v into it and see what happens
I've put up to 1.53v into it, but before I manually set the LDT/FSB Ratio, the thing was never stable and ran quite hot (53C under load with the PWM at almost 63C).Quote:

I know this is unlikely, but if someone picked up a 165 early on for cheap and got a couple extra I would happily take one off your hands. :P
Heh, I ordered a set of G.Skill 2x1gb HZ as well, although I'm perfectly content with my 7800GTX for now. I got the OEM version though - the retail didn't seem worth the extra $50, especially since I will be putting the chip under my WC loop anyway. Don't make me regret my purchase! ;)Quote:

For more everyday stuff I drop it to 215 mhz, 12x, 1.35v, yields 2.58 ghz, and around 39C board, 41C CPU idle, 45C board, 54-56C CPU loaded. Since I don't load both cores to max all day, it's really not that big an issue for me to have it idling in the 40s w/ occasional jumps to 50s. Your 24-26/38C temps are well beyond okay, if you ask me.
As far as case, I use the aluminum Lian Li 7077 w/ TT Venus 12 w/ fan flipped and blowhole fan in the back also flipped (the other way resulted in board temps that were 2-3C higher while CPU remains around the same either way). I'll probably be going to water eventually as I live next to the ocean and have two windows in front of me that let cool coastal air in which would go nicely with some form of radiator.
I should probably add, and some may not agree, but as long as it does not become unstable, I don't really mind much that it's running in mid 50s fully loaded. It gets things done.
Well I just ordered another 170. I got a retail box this time, so if I don't like the stepping I can just sell it on ebay unopened or return it.
I got it from DigitalHotBuy, only place I could find with the 170s Retail in stock, and damn good prices to boot.
170 Retail $402.45
170 OEM $377.79
Lets hope for a better stepping than my 0536. Im really hoping for an 0543.
I might keep my other 170, get a cheap ass AGP motherboard for it and run it as an DvDShrink/Divx Encoder box. Gotta get all my movies converted to Divx for when I finally find an Xbox 360 to use as a media center extender :P
Any suggestions on a cheap AGP Mobo that would run the 939 Optys?
Almost an oxymoron there, 939 + AGP MB.. I'm sure they exist, but they surely don't really go hand in hand.
Just sell the other, simplify, less crap around :).
It's funny people want 0543 now. Last week it was all about the 053x steps.
Heres an Asrock board that would do the job, AGP plus PCI-E http://www.asrock.com/product/product_939Dual-SATA2.htmQuote:

alpha, pretty sweet.
I think my memory is holding me back from getting any higher w/ typical approaches. This is a 0543 O180, it shouldn't have an issue w/ 3 ghz. Although I really haven't gotten too hard core about it as the cooling isn't up to snuff for it anyways. 2.76 ghz dual-core is ridiculously fast as it is.
I have a hard time selling PC Parts, much to my wifes dismay. The reason I wanted and AGP motherboard is I have several AGP video cards that I could use with it that aren't that old. (X850 pro, 6800GT)Quote:

*Note*
This is a brand new CPU. Memory has not been tweaked. Still trying to find the CPU max. Also VCore reported by CPUz is wrong. I set 1.45 x 104% in the BIOS. It should read 1.508 V. Sorry for the huge SS. I hope your browser can resize it.

Sweet bro. Feels good to have some new stuff eh? :)
Hehe...sure does! My Venice 3200 and NC 3500 were pretty good too, but this one has exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds!
I was expecting a max of 2.6 GHz.
On a related note, a few members at OCForums who followed my burn-in technique have reported improvements, notably in the area of VCore. Less VCore was required. This is what I did:-
A few words regarding the burn-in process I use (Warning! This is very time consuming!):
Memory is at stock or any guarenteed stable setting. I will be using StressCPU and CPUBurn. Goals are to achieve a higher stable OC at a progressively decreasing VCore, aided by conventional burn-in.For Dual core CPU's, I would recommend burning-in both core simultaneously. Ther is usually one weak core, which may need a bit more work to bring it up to par with the stronger core. Extra burning-in should not hurt, so keep working with both cores simultaneously throughout the process. As always, I mean run two instances of the toasting programs :D
Just to put things in perspective, with my Venice, out-of-the-box, I could hit 2.55GHz at stock volts, but getting to 2.6GHz necissitated the use of 1.65V! This was prior to the burn-in. After the burn-in, I'm comfortabley lodged at 2.77GHz @ 1.64V. I followed this elaborate process with some measure of success. It may or may-not work for you, it did for me. :)
- Stock settings for a minimum of 6hrs. I would recommend overnight (StressCPU, as one is guarenteed stability at stock settings.). This step is vital!
- Bump net CPU Freq by 50 MHz for 4 hrs (CPUBurn with error checking off). If you computer crashes,back off by 20MHz.
- Check status for 30 min using StressCPU. If you find errors,bump voltage by 0.025 V and repeat step #2.
- Continue this process till you reach your Magic number/Target Freq (mine is 2.7GHz).
- Turn off error checking and use CPUBurn for > 14 hrs i.e overnight.
- Turn off computer, let it cool down and then use Stress CPU to check for errors. Let it run for the rest of the day. If you still see errors, you have not completed setps 1, 2 properly and have jumped the gun. Don't be hasty! :p
- Now decrease VCore in steps of 0.025 V and see if you get errors. The idea is to reduce the voltage threshold by this back and forth process.
Don't throw rocks at my house if it doesn't work!
Or then again you can just throw caution to the wind and crank it right up! Hey, it works for me. :D
Hehhe...I didn't want to risk it because I totally and completely f@#$ed up my XP-90 whilst lapping it. :slap: You'd be amazed at the horrible job I did! I'll be taking it off and lapping it on the mechanized polisher at the Uni.
Well, seems my 0543TPMW is doing 2.7Ghz at 1.54V. I think burning it in is helping. I can get into windows and run cpuburn at 1.49V, but it's not prime/3d stable at this (yet).
I was running 2.75Ghz 1.54V and was dual prime small fft stable (but not large fft). I know some of this has to do with my Ram. This mushkin is a little finicky at anything above 255, so I'm still tweaking it as well.
2.7Ghz FEAR/3dmark05/dual prime stable right now.
My 0536XPMW 175 could only do 2.58 at 1.55V stable. So this is a nice change for less money, now I'm happy! I may go as far as taking my IHS off, and I'm sure that would get me 2.8Ghz stable on TT BT.
Quick question,
I've been thinking, I'm wondering, On my DFI Expert I can only run the 4pin connector as my PCP&C 510 Deluxe SLI only has the 4 pin connector. Do you think this is holding back the overclock on my crappy Opty 170. The Expert has the 8pin EPS connector.
My Beast from PCP&C wont be here for another week or so, (hehe.. Custom length cables, 12 Sata Connectors :D )
I was just wondering do you think an adaptor in the mean time might make any difference?
Fire up a dual instance of Prime Large FFT.
How much voltage drop are you getting?

1.51v = 2850mhz <-- slightly better than first Opteron 170.
In windows
To start off with 2600mhz needed 1.36v cpuz to boot into windows but it seems cpu1 is the weaker core than cpu0 on this cpu - the opposite of my first Opteron 170. I upped vcore to 1.392v cpuz via 1.425v (1.41v real) in bios and cpu0 stressprimed for 2mins before failing and cpu1 failed instantly. BUT, try 1.4v vcore + 4% in bios for 1.392v in cpuz and 1.41v real in bios and so far cpu0 is stresspriming for past 20+ mins with no probs!
more testing later as right now
i4memory.com's web host is doing maintenance and locally i have some thunderstorms coming my way so time to pull the plug on unecessary pc stuff until storm passes by :)
very nice eva. :toast: and thanks for your kind advice about the storm.:)
mine's still testing so far. hope it would reach 2.8Ghz. :D

I got 2.7 at 1.55 volts stable for 8+hours. It failed at 8 hours and 18 minutes. here is the screeny. Sorry it is so small, it's the only way I could make it fit. So is that considered stable? :D

Myself personally wouldn't consider it stable till it Passes Dual prime for at least 24+ hours. Try raising your LDT voltage .1 and rerun prime, Ill bet it will clear up that error. It also looks like you are running a blend., Rerun with Small FFT, and see how long it passes.
8+ Hours is damn good a little bit more tweaking and you can get it rock stable.
I observed that I had several dual-prime runs on my 175 that failed after more than 20 hours. Certainly more than with my single-cores.
Anybody else seeing this?
(might me the RAM I use there, Micron-equipped ECC on the DFI)

No, I should have mentioned it. Around 2700 MHz with 1.6 Volts, on air/BT.Quote:

Well Fedex Just delivered my new Opty 170..
Not too shabby,

What should I be expecting? Im really hoping for a much better processor than my POS 0536.
Ive seen some people getting to 2.7 on reasonable Vcores. I have also seen a coulpe of people getting 2.5Ghz at stock vcore.
I dont want to open this processor unless I have a stepping thats halfway decent.
I hope it is so this 0536 can go to ebay :D Auction running right now that I said I wouldnt sell over is at $350+ would be great if I could clear that :)
Still taking my sweet time burning in my CPU. my 175 is currently dual priming 2.65ghz @ 1.4125v. Hopefully it is 2.8ghz chip with stock heatsink. (I know it is far fetched... I had to up 0.025 v to get this 50mhz instead of previous increasement of 100mhz for such voltage ups so it must be nearing it's end for air capacity)
Well, then power shouldn't be a problem. I drop up to 0.02V with my Enermax 660 (though that is a PcProbe reading) when when I max out my Opty with CPUBurnK7 dual instance at 2.7Ghz. And it's not unstable due to power that's for sure.Quote:

I bet you're fine though.
