check his sig... that was from an -actual- fx-60... not that great an oc... and at 1.58v (though his temps were low)...Quote:

that said, my opty wont go over 2.95 :( and 150 mhz is 150 mhz
that must be Nephilim selling off his freak of a cpu i would assume. i asked him how he got the 11x multi, and he said it just happened. while he was OCing something went wrong, had to reset CMOS and when he rebooted it was at 11x. and stayed there.Quote:

Unfortunately I can't do that. I had a 3700+ that did 2.65, but this opty 165 does 2.45 and it's dual core. I haven't decided which is a better performer.Quote:

surely 2 x 2.45 is better than 1 x 2.6 if you have xp and all its friends running in the background?
no it can't. but i believe that was the goal for reverse hyperthreading.Quote:

big..saw you over at dfi-street...Keep that CPU going man..I think you may be able to hit 3.1ghz...would be sweet that's for sure!
Going to prime at 3060mhz with voltage with same volts to see how far it can go. I didn't change the ram speed which is now at ddr510 3-3-2-8.
I do all my tests 15hrs minimum, and if it goes past 15hrs i'll let go through to 24hrs if it can. Ok course you can expect pictures.
I know the board sensors aren't accurate, but for a reference my cpu can load up to 42-44c in a 85f room off of smart guardian. Thinking about moving my computer in the basement where its 15f cooler.
Heres super_pi 32mb & everest latency

Unfortunantly though, 3dmark01 would lock up for 5secs every 10secs and would continue benching. In that process, i was getting abnormally low frames than usual.Samething happened for 3dmark03. I think its a ram issue because at ddr510 3-3-2-8 it would lock up right away, but when i set the timings to 3-4-4-8 it would lock up not as often. Kind of sucks actually because i hear people getting good overclocks on these modules, but i can't never seem to get them stable over ddr500. Which means my little 3ghz+ adventure ends here :(, sorry. Unless you guys have suggestions?
Somethings i do know from my bios:
3/4 divider
timings 3-3-2-8
(tRc) 10
(trfc) i believe it set it to (16)
max async latency- 11ns
read preamble- 8.5
idle cycle limit 16cycles
everything else is default.
I currently have an FX60, and am wondering if I will get the same performance if I buy a 165, then just OC it to 2.6? I haven't seen any benchmarks comparing the two, so it's hard for me to decide really :\
yes. you will get the same performance.
edit:
and depending on other settings (mem divider mainly) you may get better performance from an OCed opty over a FX
Thanks for the honest answer, it was exactly what I was looking for. Time to sell my 60 and get a 165 :).
What should I do, X2 4200 or OPTERON 165 ?
i say 165 with a good stepping should perform about the same if not better.
it does 2.9-3.0 sellers says.
be weary of sellers who boast how Uber l33t chips that do fx-62 speeds and above...Quote:

this should be used as only a guide, but always keep in mind that the seller has a vested interest, he wants there to be high demand for his product, the more people that believe the chip he's selling,
dispite the "this chip may not get this performance, it will depend alot on your cooling, blah blah blah"...
is The Best L33t St3pping ev4!!! 8ghz on air at 1.05v garanteed! the better.
got a little carried away there, but just be weary, if the price is good and the seller assures you (through official(if it's ebay) channels) that it is a good stepping (something for you to decide) then you have some security at least...

He got his money and I got a dud. To top it off, Newegg dropped the freaking price to $265 this week. :shocked:
upped it a little more on my opty :D

awesome temps, what ambient you have there?Quote:

twinx1024-3200xl(rev. 2)
4400+ (ccbwe 05(something, cant remember, will edit)
getting another twinx1024-3200xl(rev.2) kit, worth upgrading to a 165 ccbbe for the better mem controller? or will slight voltage increase fix any issues i have?
The board is rated to 4 x 512mb ddr400@cl:1.5, if thats worth the paper its printed on...
but i heard the ccbbe's have exceptionally good mem controllers... will only want about 2.7-2.8 out of it, so an average ccbbe 0617 or similar should suite

damn I love this chip :)
bbl & keep on burning...
