Well, I got tired of asking for ss of the Opteron 939 cpu's so I got my own ss 25 minutes after I got home from work. I did rip the box open, put it in the mb and cranked up the MHz. I am not the low volts burn kind of guy(not slant on those who are). I will only post if I have a pi ss. Here's 25 minutes worth of oc'ing. Ram is OCZ4800.

Very nice... what's teh cooling and ambient temps?
Also, the voltage is very low, how well does it respond to more voltage?
Sick results man....especially on the stock cooler :slobber: (assumption)
Don't know, just got it. The cooler is a hyper 6 with smart cat fan, as5.Quote:

1.6v for 2942mhz 1M on water:

i can get decent screens out of it though
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=40158 - 1.55v, again water
well done boys.. Keep em coming
Off to a good start except for the temps. I'm on water and you can see my idle temp in the screenie. I'm hoping I just didn't mount the block quite right. I'll look at that before I start pushing on it. Tommorow morning I'll take another shot.
I used some old Hynix I had laying around. Keeping the memory low to make sure that doesn't hold up the OC party.
Sorry about the shakey image ... I guess I was a little excited.

MB went bad and will now only work with one ram in middle orange slot. Wouldn't do anything until I cleared it. Oh well, it didn't stop me. Here's a ss in single of pi 32m(don't know if it means anything running it without dc). They do run hot. The temp in ss is after it started down. 40c@1.4 and it scales big time. I was at 48@1.5 for the first ss. I thought I didn't have the hs seated right so I took it off. That is when the memory slot went bad.

SP32M at 2.95 Ghz on air with 1.40 volts... keep it coming!
What boards/BIOSes were you guys using and did the system boot with no problem when you first put the Opteron in?
I'm using 702-03 and there is no problem booting.Quote:

Later this week I'll try air and on the weekend I'll break out the Prommie for more testing ... if I haven't broken it by then. Lol.
Also need to figure out what the story is on the types of memory this thing will take.
My initial impressions of this CPU are very positive except for the temps. A bit of a "holy grail" for me to be at 3ghz on water. :woot:

yeah, mine runs pretty hot too.. just remounted the waterblock thinking i might have made a mistake, contact looked decent, though with a new install, load temps are around 1c lower.. it should drop over the next day or so.Quote:

^^ I guess this answers my question, they're all week 30 APMW
Just wait, i will order and get week 31 and it will top out at 2.7 on my h20 :nono:
Where did you guys get these things? I want one! Are they out already cuz I checked Fry's already and they dont have any.
Very nice oc's guys!!
I sold my x2, it didn't seem as much fun oc'ing it as a single core. I think they as great but not for me. These first(because they may end up like all the rest) 144's really clock but run hot. I can't believe they are just a sd core. I ran my sd3700 at 2900@1.6 and it was the alittle cooler then this at 1.4.Quote:

That's a very good question VH :D
Thanks. Wish I had more time to tweak during the weekdays. I'll try to do as much as I can but I expect by Wednesday they'll be another big group testing the same CPU and much more info available. If you read through the threads you can see who we're getting the CPUs from. Apparently he's swamped with orders now so I'm not sure if he wants the source advertised openly.Quote:

@dogsx2 - I'm guessing the 3ghz 32M SuperPi stable club will be growing pretty big by Wednesday. Congratulations on that mark on air! I have a Thermaltake Typhoon I'm going to use to try to do the same.
I have a 146 coming too. I thought I might need it if I had a problem with the HTT crapping out too low. Doesn't look like that'll be a problem now though.
I did the same thing, I figured between the two of them, one should be OK. I also bought a BT for the x2 but with a s cat fan on my Hyper 6,not much diff. I hate to buy another board with all the new ones coming out soon but will have to rma this one and don't have another.Quote:

Once we get a look a Optys outside of the initial production weeks we'll really be able to see if they can separate themselves from their SD brothers. In the meantime we need to push on the memory controllers (more bandwidth) to see if we can get FX owners to flinch just a little. :DQuote:

When we have the next batch in the hands of more users, the truth shall be revealed.
yeah, i'm using water right now. takes about 1.6v to get 2942mhz sPI 1m stable, where as you guys are doing 3ghz with 1.4-1.5v
it could be that i simply have a bunk core too.
Looks like u gonna have to test tht chip on another mobo 4 sure, you know anybody who can test it for you? Cos u got a new mthbrd also (i think i remember u sayin it was new) you dont know how tht mthbrd performs.Quote:

Put it on dual channel guys... you will see nice temp increase -_-;
Now put it on 2x1gb dual channel you will see even nicer temp increase... -_-;
something I found on these x2 chips last week.
my thoughts exactly. i'm gonna try to get another one just to find out for sure :toast:Quote:

I can wait...preliminary indications show them costing a fortune. I'm sure they'll OC very well though.
I'm more interested in the 154....:slobber:
Nice results! :toast: Keep em comin'
I'll have my 146 tomorrow. Maybe i'll test it out on my neo4 platinum :banana:
Dang. Wish I had more time to play with this thing right now! I tried to go straight to 3.1ghz but it ain't happening. The speed/voltage scaling seems true to the Ozzi article. I might be near the end of the OC trail on this CPU without better cooling. The memory speed is still low enough that I don't think its holding things up. I wonder if this CPU will play nice with my old school BH-5 and my 2x1gig Patriot set.
http://img349.imageshack.us/img349/886/338x94pf.png
Any one else scheduled to get their CPUs today?
@dogsx2 - Maybe you can get a database going in the original post that'll start to list the CPUs tested. Thats the kind of thing I think the mods looks for when they decide whether something is stickied. Maybe that and numbner of views.
OK thats it I am getting one! Heading to Fry's after work to see if they have them yet!
UGH it sucks to sit here and see this. I wish I could have ordered it from a shop with 2 day shipping and be playing tomorrow instead of waiting till friday/saturday to get it from vandi :(
With my luck I'll need direct 115v from an outlet to get 3.2ghz :p:
Same boat as you AFI....but then I'll have the whole freakin weekend to play! Only to be interrupted by dancing class....ugh.
What is the differnce between the oppties and the sandieagos? I read there the same core, then what the point of buying one over a sd? Are they cheaper can they do something the sd cant or vise versa?
BTW dogsx2 do you happen to have a 2405fpw? :D those pics fit my screen perfect it seems. 1920*1200.
These seem to have been tested differently....
how does your scale anyhow.. i presume how mine did, plus ~300mhz :p:Quote:

What type of memory are you using? Is TCCD/UTT problematic with Opteron?
Yeah... Got a 5 day weekend! And I can't get dry ice until the weekend anyway. But I still want to test on water. Anyone take IHS off of one yet? Mine will be naked as soon as it leaves the box :DQuote:

Man 1meg chache for the price of a +3000 and they overclock great... do they have the multi's unlocked in the downware also?

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/407/340x99xa.png
Gaaaah! Have to stop now. Maybe later tonight I can sneak in a few minutes.
Wrong, there attractive because they can do 2900+ MHz. If they were $250 I'd stiil buy one.Quote:

we'll see on that. my bank account is hating on me, but i'll figure it out :toast:Quote:

I just checked out my local shops website and they have a 144 and a 244 for sale the 144 is $259 and the 244 is $239.are they the same expect the 244 can be used in a 2 cpu setup.
Do they overclock the same?
They are not the same dude...no such thing as an S939 244 :stick:
I c yes all the opttys on there site are 940, missed that cuz it was a subcategory under amd 939/940.
3Ghz on air... its more then nice :D
can`t wait for my Optie146, ordered them today... i will get my hands on 3x 146 Opties and torture them all under VapoLS... :rolleyes:
And you paid less than what you would for an FX....smart move (that and you can make some of it back :D).
Edit : "robberbaron" ?
are you sure it wasn't me? he is a pretty good friend of mine. vandi got two opterons initially, mine and baron's. i haven't asked where that opteron is at recently thoughQuote:

http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/1...9910div4wn.png
Temps aren't topping out as high today. Maybe ambient temps are down and the block is settling.
Tommorow old school BH-5.
Speaking of tommorow ... I sure everyone and their mother will start posting their results. Sure would be nice if we could do one stop shoping for info on the Opty in a single thread. Yes. That is a hint. Anyone up to maintaining a database of results and a thread that might be sticky bound?
1.472v Spi 32m stable @ 3.006, yup, i'd say 3g on air is more than possible, good enough air, maybe 3.1, 3.2 w/ a noisy fan :D
very very very nice to see all these results, i'll be behind everyone, as i'm not ordering for 3 more weeks :( , hope if the steppings change they're just as good(or maybe i can just beg my wife to let me order as soon as monarch drops em next week)
Is the multiplier locked?
oh man. i'm gonna order another chip now...this is farking awesome :clap: :clap: :woot: :woot: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:
LOL dinos :)
yeah i have opteron 144s and 146s on preorder just to play with.... my FX-57 is still my baby though :D
Wht if your 144 and 146 were re-badged FX's would they be your babies also? HeheheeeeQuote:

My old Mushkin BH-5 seems to like the Opty just fine too. I just set the major timings and everthing else to auto. I'm pretty sure with a little tweaking the BH-5 would edge out the TCCD on the Pi run at the same speeds. No time for that. Need to see if there is an OC penalty when running 2x1gig sticks. I'll post that tommorow.

Has anyone put one of these under phase? I am hoping to get mine by the end of next week! I'll clock the hell out of it under my newley modded mach1 and 1:1 with my patriots. I hope lol!
:woot: :banana: :toast: That was my only major concern. I'll be getting one ASAP now.Quote:

Dude, the important timings are 2-2-2-6, and most important is that the Opteron is playing nice with the BH-5.
Me hangs my head in shame. Lol. :rolleyes: That was just a quick and dirty look. Relax. This is an Opty thread.Quote:

Maybe this will calm him down a little. Yes. Yes. Still not the tightest possible. Can't believe I gave up quality time with my Patriots for this. :slap:
http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5...tighter5fa.png
BTW - I don't think this CPU will have any issues with memory. Look to your mobo if you're having trouble. This should be like most SDs only faster and hotter at lower volts. Maybe like FX-57 with mild Down Syndrome.
Great, you gained 2% in Everest. :rolleyes: In real-world apps that tweak would amount to zero, nothing, nada, zilch.
Now get back to work on things that matter, gundamit. :p:
Where can you get these :slobber: :slobber:
Monarch might have them by next week. You could also PM Vandi423.
It is. Whats the point of pushing the chip to the limits if your ram blows? If we weren't concerned about benching you would be better off grabbing 2 gigs of value ram, a 3800+ x2, jacking the clocks up to 2.5ghz or so, and calling it a day.Quote:

i think what's trying to be said is that the timings really don't make that much of a difference. maybe if you're trying to break records, that's an area where i'll take everything i can get, but otherwise it's simply not important :)
but back on topic, we should make a list of the oc's in the first post.. or make an official thread :D
I couldn't care less about "benching." What does synth-benching do for anyone other than give them bragging rights. And I imagine I'm in the vast majority with this opinion.Quote:

Wow, you been a busy boy while I was at work. Good job. Got anymore ram you can test? The 144 I got will go to 3050 but I think my mb is going bad besides the ram slot. I hate to buy another DFI with the new DFI boards coming out soon, have you heard when? Will have to get something to soon, hate to be on the sidelines.
I don't think on air your going to go much past 3100MHz unless you have a really good set of earplugs and a really cold room. Am looking forward to you putting yours on some real cooling. Keep up the good ground work.
Does this apply to all 939 chips? Well, with higher preamble you don't exactly lose much performance - I'm sure increased CPU mhz, if attainable, would easily outweigh any negligible performance hit of higher preamble...Quote:
