Great stuff. The MSI doesn't need a lot of volts to give the core to reach its potential. I don't think I've ever seen a MaxTCase higher than 65c before except for the X2s. So maybe these CPUs were meant to run hot. High MaxTCase for single cores usually associated with great OCs. So far the Opties maintain that pattern.Quote:

I am wondering why I have seen not even one Prime95 stability test on the 1xx Opterons? All that 1M, 8M and 32M stuff is just worth nothing.
Once, I got a SanDiego that could 1M up to 3100 MHz but primed only up to 2900 MHz. So just stop those 1M postings - they don't tell anything.
Lateste Prime95 v24.14 can be picked up here:

Do some 2-3h prime runs with those "freaking" Opterons and I am sure we will see more realistic OC's.
I think its because evryone is too busy playing and tweaking ;), give it a few days and you will see the 'real' overclocks.Quote:

2700 MHz @ 1.55V with Prime95 and one of those 3.2-GHz-on-(frosty-)air-0530APMW-144-Opterons ... with normal cooling and an average core = nothing to talk about. Just a common SanDiego 3700+ result.
Of course, there may be some really nice 1xx Opterons around doing 2.8-2.9 GHz at Prime but there is the same number of good SanDiegos (3700/4000) around.
Agreed, and hopefully with large FFT's, not these pisspoor small FFT's that dont really stress a CPU :)Quote:

Maybe yes, maybe no, but at that price who can complain? :DQuote:

I would encourage all Opteron users to post any benches they feel like posting and not worry that their results will be dismissed. We can interpret the benches as we see fit. Over time the patterns will emerge.
As for me, I'll continue to do the work I feel necessary to get my rig game stable. 32M SuperPi stable has always been enough to get game stable. I've used Prime before but it wasn't as good as an indicator of stable game play as 32m runs. Sounds like there is interest in Prime from other members though, so I may have to give it a go. :D
Holy humping christ! 3ghz at 1.4v is phenomenal! Air cooled! :up: SD comparisons go out the window for your CPU. Hello FX comparisons.Quote:

Wow! This is a wonderful deal. I used to think only 3000's and 530's were worth buying not anymore.
So its not enough to dismiss all benches outside of Prime, now we're going to dismiss the entire XS community? Can't you guys just ask nicely for the Prime benches?Quote:

Just realize it, and look at this thread. There is no screen, that shows me, this cpu is stable enough.
Overclocking is an other language.

32m is pretty damn stable. You might get some 24H prime later but right now guys are just getting them and starting tweaking so hold your horses.
I've added Prime to my official list of things to try this weekend. Stay tuned. :DQuote:

no 24h, but two hours prime 24.x are better than 30sec Super Pi.
I even say 30 min prime shows more.
@gundamit thx, :)

I hope we're not going to get into the: if you do not have hours of prime, you have nothing debate. I guess one of the reasons I'm at XS is because it is XS. I thought it was a forum of wr, top oc's, information on oc'ing.
I like a system that is stable and I think OCCT or spi32 is more then enough for this forum. All you do is cut out the top oc'er when you cry about prime.
Can i ask where you guys are getting these from, or are they not for sale atm?
Vincent, for you probably it would be here:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=75559
one of the toughest stress tests you can do is OCCT these suckers.....so anyone with an the 30minutes OCCT test pass would be priming for hours no problem.....so it's only 30 minutes away for the quick stress testQuote:
