Its an additional official skin from microsoft. Dunno the name, but a bit of search and you will find. I know because a friend of mine uses it. I use UXPatcher from neowin + Royal Inspirat skin from Stefanka @ deviantart.Quote:

Prime stable at 300x9@1.45v as well, will try higher later on, for now I have to sort out the temp first, 48C under BT, as soon as I see 52C, Prime failed :S

So unless I have the window open when it is cold out, i am limited to about 1.52vcore with this cpu on air.
However, cool it down with some -5C air, and it is flying
thanks for the claps :clap:Quote:

about skin, its offical mircosoft one, just google for 'Royale Theme' ..
EDIT; i just noticed form the bill that my VPMW is 562 batch (not 569 as i said), so i saw that a guy here will be selling the 561 batch - go and get it :fact:
my result until now with an Opteron 170 0550VPMW..but I have only aircooling. That's why I don't keep it...maybe a X2 3800+ later.

OK so I am definitely a noob when it comes to system building. I have been reading this forum for a couple weeks but this is my first post :)
First thanks to everyone for a really great forum! --I am about to try building my first system from scratch (Old system is a pre-built Gateway Northwood 2.8Ghz - lame I know, but everyone starts somewhere and I have managed to take it completely apart and put it back together and it still works.)
Here are the parts I have assembled for my new build so far:
Opti 165 CCB1E 0550VPMW retail
Opti 170 CCB1E 0550VPMW retail
DFI LanParty Ultra-D motherboard
Zalman CNPS9500 LED air cooler
OCZ 520W Power Supply
G.Skill F1-4800 (2x512mb) RAM
Do you guys think this stuff will work together well?? Do you have any suggestions at all for a first time builder/overclocker? Also, I still have to buy a video card.
I bought two processors because after looking around I saw that everyone was having crazy results with these steppings and I came across two together so I jumped on them. I will probably try the 170 first, but what do you guys think will be better the 165 or 170?
thank you!
First of all, welcome to XS! :toast:Quote:

You better sell me whichever one u don't want, hahaha, anyway, nice start for a system build, only way to tell is to try them out and tell us. if u can run 2.8 gigs on 1.4 vcore, your doing damn good, like me, heh.
That is most likely not true actually...there are a couple of bad steppings that are seen in more than one model, but as an rule it doesn't applyQuote:

..hmm, I'm thinking of that multiplier...so if it is speed binning due to lower grade silicon...do they "open" that CPU again and then set the multiplier regarding to the model they are binning it to?Quote:

AFAIK anyway.
Aha..so they actually set the multiplier that late in the manufacturing process?Quote:

Then AMD overclocks all their chips heh. I don't see any Opteron failing at 1800/2000 even 2400 :D
@Clint: the reseller rejected my chip without a word. This is the last time I buy from them, so our little trade is over sorry :(
=(, I cancelled the order on my opteron170, it was taking too long...and I came back to my senses that I needed that money to buy food, lol.
If only they shipped it within 1.5weeks, then I wouldn't have had time to come back to my senses!...blast...slow shipping from monarch!
You only sent it back because you could'nt get it to clock as high as you would have liked, is that correct :rolleyes:Quote:

It's either slow shipping from monarch *or* they are totally sold out and are/have been waiting for Dresdens finest to restock!!
Selling out fast here in the UK. . . . .
Funny, I ordered from Monarch over the weekend. They shipped yesterday and it's already 30 minutes away, delivery tomorrow!
Sorry, but they clearly state in their website I have 7 days to withdraw of any kind of hardware if I don't like it, without further explanation. If you understand spanish I can give you the link:Quote:

Now i've gotta sell my single cores, the 3.1 Ghz air opty will have to go ><
My 165 CCB1E 0550 PMW will do 2.8 GHz @ 1.42v Dual prime stable for 8 hours+, but refuses to go any higher :stick:
Any ideas? This is on highish-end water, but temps reach close to 45*C :(
