I have the same time @2976mhz with TCCD under 300mhz... With BH i'll be under 27 for sure... :toast:

Wow man, I'm definetly selling my CABYE 148 on ebay after seeing that. Starting price? $350 I think

Bought from 0 feedback seller too :lol:

Seller with 0.0 feedback no less.

Maybe that is what I need http://www.cons.org/smileys/scratch-head.gif

hey guys :)

i´ll get 3 146 0540 fpbw soon :D
are the temps with HS @ 0540s good or not?

easier said that done ;)

s7 is pretty experienced....he can't get it over the line....you'd think he'd be able to do it with ease especially considering alpha's time at 2.9GHz

Far from proof of stability, but some quick early shots below. Temps at around 43C (under load, obviously). IHS still on; didn't take it off immediately in case I wanted to sell it. Not sure that's going to be an issue anymore!

Update - 32 minutes now, through 8K test. Probably crank it up some more in another half hour.

Come on dinos22, it was 2.99. :slap: Pretty soon your going to have him down to 2.8. :stick:

Do you really think that 10MHz is going to get the guy .400+ second. If it does he will be the greatest oc'er of all time?

i need glasses......i thought it said 2898MHz = 2.9GHz (i mixed up my 8s and 9s there heheheh)..........now that i looked at it again.....nothing special really hehehe

definately no way alpha's breaking the 27s barrier....soz guys

Two observations about my 175. First, it is very sensitive to memory timings. Deviating from the optimized settings (704-2BT) cost me about an hour and a half tonight before I finally realized the problem and went back. Back on track now. Second, it does not appear to be handling high temperature well, frequently freezing up while priming when temps approach 55C. This may, however, be a result of poor scaling with voltage. Looks like the IHS is coming of tomorrow (purely in the name of science, of course). I'm going to prime 2900 overnight at atound 1.4 volts overnight. More news tomorrow.

SuperPI for stability testing is like getting drunk in the rain ...

Nice clocks xxmartin for an 165 DC Opteron.You´ve got 5,5Gig on the Board running. That´s incredible. Nice Job.

HeHe yer no way on earth until I can add a few more MHz :D

I actually had a slightly better score @ 2989 but did'nt save it :rolleyes:

Anyways for a cabbage I am more than happy with 2.8Gig with low Vcore :)

Got my 144 CAB2E priming @ 2800mhz/1.472v today - I might push further over the weekend, but I'm quite pleased with it so far (44c under load, idles 29c and the mobo reports 30c!).

I get the feeling that the voltage requirement will scale up quickly past this point, but its almost the weekend so more time to play with settings :banana:

I got my Opteron 146 last night with CABYE 0536 GPMW ...
I OC with rig like in my sig but i never pas 273 x 10 in 166 divider :( although i make the vcore to 1.6 V..i think there is no problem with the bh5 cause in divider 166 the memory run about 229 while HTT at 270...
so i think the problem is my Opteron Steping or PSU ..cause my PSU 3.3 rail is 3.24 when idle and 3.23 when load....
is My PSU limit My OC or i got bad Steping ?

this a sreenshot at 271x10 Vcore 1.6 ,if i run super Pi 1Mb at 273 x 10 the system always restart :(

Thanks. Those 165 Opterons are really a nice bang for the buck.

Wow, thats amazing if it would be water-cooling!

dissapointed...

well, i ordered 3 Opteron 144's at a local shop yesterday, and got them in this morning! I was suprised to find that all 3 were CABNE 0540 BPMW. They should OC very well.

I was dissapointed after i installed the first CPU in my system and fired up Super PI @ 2400 MHz @ 1.344v. I got an instant error after 5 seconds (...NOT CONVERGENT IN SQR05...)

i'm still using the 310P bios for my DFI NF4 SLI-DR. This CPU has to go much higher. What is holding me back?

tnx!

hey these 0540 CABYE's hoot. This one is on standard BT, using vvx limited to 3.2vdimm till next week. :slap:

Memory timings are the key to any 64 oc.

i know, but i set the memory on a 1/2 divider to ensure that memory is not a limiting factor. it has to be the CPU or HTT, but i set HTT multi to 3x already. strange.... would a BIOS updgrade (704-2BTA for instance) do any good?

Looks like we're good at 2.9GHz on air. I'm going to keep priming until I get home from work - little burn in can't hurt.

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/9...early299wq.png

Here's my memory settings:

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/8...arlya644pq.png

When I get home this evening, I'll let you know if it primed through the day, then I'll pop the IHS and shoot for 3000+. In the meantime, let me know if you guys want me to try anything else. My students have a Calculus Midterm next week, so I imagine I'm going to have to stay kind of late tutoring... I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Very nice, I think thats my next chip right there.

Hey!

When do you folks think the 146 CAB2E will be available? It it even will be available?

Cheers!

Don't forget the memory controller is on-die.

I had to use a 120 divider on my DFI Ultra D (now using 623-3 BIOS) to get the CPU to max.

There's also a sweet spot for voltage on the 90nm process, at least there is on water anyway. 1.45 x 110% is for me. If I go higher, it actually hurts the system, rather than allowing a higher overclock.

I went from 270*9 NOT stable to 300*9 stable just by flashing from 510-2 to 510-2FIX.

So BIOS plays a role.

They are floatin around as we speak.......atleast over here in the US, I know of one person who just got one in from zipzoomfly.com and I think tankguys just got a shipment in
