sweet! i guess i am getting WC... ugh, that reminds me, is there a better way to mount a BIP3 in a LianLI PC75 than cutting a hole on top or setting it on top ?????Quote:

Hey, quick question, I've read here and there on the forum of people killing dual core amd chips a lot more easily than single core cpu's. What do you guys think the danger zone for volts is on a dual core, give or take?
I'm on aircooling, but my temps are generally lower than a Big Typhoon.
----
sorry I'm all anxious for my opty 170 to come in, i can't post results until it comes, it hasn't even shipped yet, i ordered last night too. =T.
Who would'nt take the faster of the two :rolleyes:Quote:

Here's Mine,
Opty 170 OC
Stepping - 0546 XPMW
Cooling - XP90 + generic 92mm Fan:mad:
Problem is it does OC well,infact it has gone to 2.7 also but the temps are soo high,itfreaks me out.
@ 2.6G and at full load temps reach 57c :eek:
So currently searching for a good cooling solution.
But unfortunatel in india here, there isnt much choice..:(

Well a local Distributor here was kind enough to arrange it for me.Quote:

And here you can order the 3 Gig pretested.
Vorkasse means if you pay first over a Bank Shipping cost 15Euros
Nachnahme means if you pay at delivery that are 40 Euros cash.
And Shipping in Foreign Countries delivers UPS.

^ lol Opteron 170 pretested to 3 Ghz - 619 Euros
619 euros = 737 USD, almost twice the cost of an Opteron 170...
I have bought CPUs pretested by other peeps, but just paying hundreds extra for these insane chips... kinda ridiculous.
Its easier to buy an FX60. And you can buy that Chip in your country.
I would not buy such an expensive Chip from that shop.Thats too much.
I bought my VPMW for 415Euros including shipping in germany. And that was cheap.
But 619Euos thats 200Euros too much!!!!
Yes, they really try to suck the most out of it....and not that good OC's either...primed an hour..bah!
...these kinda ppl p*** me off really.:mad:
EDIT: just realized my first post was a rambling one...lol!
..sorry about that fellas, will behave in future ;)
But an FX60 isn't worth it to me, the joy of overclocking stems in part from getting the most ouf ot a 150-300 $ CPU. It isn't worth it to most people to spend 2-3 times that much for a couple hundred Mhz more.
Idk, i just don't like to see overclocking degenerate into plopping down 700$ for a 400$, albeit pretested, CPU. It is more fun when there's chance involved.
Exactly.FX series,even though excellent, never actually appealed to me cos of the cost factor.
Oyes, that is just way over the top...and just thinking of taking off the hat from it...brrr!
To much value to play with...and if you get a bad performer...hehe, dissapointment grows linear with invested buck ;)
welcome to XS Clint
Detract nice result. But not much enough with an single Stage cooling.
And you are using Prime Lite.
Another ist Prime95 V24.14 Custom FFts in place.
And thats my under Watercooling.
Absolute 0 ic can`t understand why you can not get some VPMWs in the USA.
There must be much more CHips than here in Europe!!!

Thanks:)
Never said i couldn't get them, i said i wouldn't pay 700$ for a 400$ CPU.Quote:

You are right Absolute. Secondhand could be expensive.
And whats about little Shops in the USA.
USA are much bigger then Germany. USA is like whole Europe.
There must be a lot of Shop in the States or Canada or Mexico.
There are, but not very many sell Opterons. I live in the bay area so i'm by San Jose and San Francisco but i've never heard of a place that sells dual core Opties for s939. We're got huge retailers, not many small retailers... none that cater to overclocking. More like Fry's and CompUSA.
What are your ambient temps? Mine with ~20c ambient and a Big Typhoon, with stock volts does 2.6G, 26c idle and 38c load. But it is a 165 CCBWE 0551 UPMW. My main question was about your ambient temp, because 57c load seems too much. What volts do you need to get to 2.6G? It seems the DC Opterons OC better with low volts, have you tried how far can you get with stock volts?Quote:

Opteron 165 @ 2.7GHz 1.525V here. :cool:
without sifting through the ocean of posts here... anyone happen to know the highest clock for a dual core opteron on stock volts?? Or at least what to expect on a good..or even bad stepping for that matter, just in general?
You don't have to be sifting through the ocean of posts here to find that out. Just read a tiny bit and you can see about what they can do. This is one of the most general questions in a while. Just read.:fact:Quote:
