Not really I'm afraid...mine did not even reach 2.5 on stock volts..:(

Expecting too much maybe? ;)

i dont think he's expecting too much. Here's my standards for a "GOOD" dual core

2.6 on stock volts
2.7 on 1.4 volts
2.8 on 1.5 volts
2.85 max

and one that we would want would be something better than just good, it would be very good. Very good is

2.75 on stock volts, 2.85 on 1.45 volts, 2.95 with 1.55 volts, 3 Ghz benching

K.I.T.T.

CCB1E 0550 VPMW

Stock volts.....dunno (started at 2.7 GHz...)
1.37v : 2.7 GHz
1.42v : 2.8 GHz

not really tried more. Dual prime stable for 8 hours.

ahhhh, i ordered my chip monday night and it still hasn't shipped, yet i check this thread like 5 times a day, haha, making me even more anxious!

1.37v: 2.7 ghz
that's awesome K.I.T.T.

Stock Volts 2,85Gig DualPrime Stable.
1,328Volts for 2,9Gig
1,36V for the 3 Gig Benchable
1,392V for 3 Gig Primestable.
Better would be 3 Gig on Stockvolts DualPrimestable.

I had a 165 (was supposed to be Absolute_0 chip :( ) @ 2.75ghz 1.37v dual prime... too bad I broke a pin when I removed it from my pc

update for you all:

and here:

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=72584

still priming will post those pics later....found out what was holding me back...thought at 1st PSU...so bought a new one with 3 x 12V rails etc....still no go....set memory to 166 and rest of settings to auto....BAM....2.9.....but not very stable....so knocked it back to 2.8 for now....upped chipset to 1.6V
and LDT to 1.3V and running silky smooth!

I keep tellin' ya, try it out. A lot of the time a single pin doesn't affect it at all. And it can always be soldered back on. All is not lost!

what does a direct system hang without error in Dual SP2004 mean?? (after running several hrs)

can somebody help me??

Some INITIAL results

Idle:

Load:

Still tweaking, so hopefully more updates to come.

Whoa, that's a huge discrepancy from the voltage your mobo software reads and cpu-z. Either way, it's still very nice- What step?

Yeah, its because of the ASUS motherboard (A8N32). I've found that the correct way to read the CPU-Z read out is to add .2V since my base voltage is 1.275 with the overvolt option enabled (therefore 1.275 + .2). By the way, does anyone else have the 2x1Gb Mushkin Redline XP4000? I need help with some of the RAM tweaking. The stepping on the CPU is:

i would say he is using an asus a8n32-sli board. cpuz does not reflect the overvolt option when enabled. hence the discrepancy

Hi,

I just wanted to ask why is the lower line of codes covered up? I notice that in alot of the pictures of CPU's that people mask/hide this info?

How come?

Using CPU-Z 1.32, it will read actual voltage(1.475v).

PS:// Nice chip. My 0530TPMW can't do that high, only 2.7GHz @ 1.39v on XP-120. Yours on water?

From where and how long ago did you get your chip? I just ordered from Monarch this week..

Mine still reads low with the new cpu-z

I picked up an Opteron 165 CCBWE 0550 UPMW last week

2400Mhz 1.44v is dual Prime95 stable
2500Mhz 1.536v semi stable
2600Mhz 1.536v it just boots into windows

all this on a TT XP-90 with panaflow highspeed fan and 35c outside temps, it's summer here :eek:

Hey, if the system locks up without getting an error, it usually implies a voltage shortage.

I have gone through this before. Prime for a bit and system freezes as soon as i stop priming. I think it's because of the way the mobo/PSU handle the power, after you end the load the voltage spikes downward for a sec and (probably) prompts the freeze.
