I'm really interested how the DC OPTY's perform, so I wanted to start a thread about the OC results. Unfortunately the DC OPTY's aren't available here in Norway, but i hope someone will post their results here when they get their hands on a DC OPTY!

Bookmarked this thread for sure!
I am very interested how the preform too, only thing is that they are too expensive for me. :(
My Dual Core Opteron (0534 SPMW) is now running at 2.7GHz with 1.45V, have been playing BF2 for hours
Is that the highest you can take it or just as far as you care to go now? I decided to skip the 939 single-core Opterons in favour of the dual-cores.
So did I, but waiho2k1, what's the full stepping & batch on your CPU ?Quote:

Nobody selling pretested CPU's in the States? If that's where you live.Quote:

I would like to hear more about your OSA170 :) do you have any more oc results and stepping info?Quote:

175 coming Thursday.
Any 165's for sale at a price that is more close to AMD's price for them?
they sell for about AUD$460 including local taxes (10%)......AUD$460 roughly works out as USD$350Quote:

when will you get a chance to test it out
Just got a 165 for $299.. let hope it works in motherboard.
it's still over $15 what AMD says but I was not going to miss out on early production like I did with Opteron 144/146's..
Ordered the 165 from mWave as well.. Got 2 day shipping so hopefully it will be here on Saturday.
I'll post my results ASAP.
Should I get a 165 or 170. :stick: :stick:Quote:

Maybe a higher binned chip maybe but maybe not as good of a stepping ... hmmm :stick:Quote:

Mezmerise and nvidiaxp over @ OCAU r running there 175's @ 2.8 and 3Ghz both with around 1.55 or 1.6v. Dinos can probably confirm that :p:
My 165 can do 2.5 @ ~1.4v 2.6 @ ~1.45.....but my board doesn't work with any settings over 290 for some reason. Even clockgen in windows can't push it further :(

3 ghz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, w/ what cooling??
I should be getting a 180 today, will post results later.
Just ordered a 170 Dual Opty!
Amount: $387.00 USD
Shipping & Handling: $8.94 USD
Total Amount: $395.94 USD
Ugh..... my money my money... :P

Man MWAVE is fast ordered yesterday night got here today!!!
Dually 165
Will post stock air screens shortly
Sweet!
THanks man,
I just ordered a 170 from Mwave.
Pray to the overclock gods!
W000t....we have ordered same chip... look out for some 170 Dual pwnage! :slobber:Quote:

same stepping as fareastgq, both from Monarch
http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=78500
I don't recognize that stepping :(
I have exact same week/stepping. Priming 2900 at 1.4 now. Let me know how it reacts to high temperatures and high voltage - mine doesn't seem to like either. Gonna take off the IHS tomorrow.Quote:

Anyway need to hit frys for new mobo or break down my water setup and use ABIT before really testing out..ok.
why would it like high temperatures?Quote:

Rather than go back and forth, I think I am going to just continue posting in the main (stickied) thread. Look for future results there. 2900 primed for 7hrs 11min so far. Will continue priming until this evening.

hey ocZZ, are you using that DFI for the overclock?
yes, ultra-d, 2nd core was failing at that speed. Dropped it to 2.75ghz@ 1.53v and so far it seems good.
Guys my temps are just going crazy. 78C loaded with themalright & 120mm x 38mm high pressure delta fan. Im afriad to prime test anymore cause AMD say 67C for this processor.
http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~smanning/temps.jpg
Do I got a problem in between processor and lid? This is pissing me off.
Must be a really bad contact!

I am fighting with low memory benches, I wonder if it is the divider I run or the MAL/read preamble which seem pretty loose (on AUTO in BIOS)?
Thanks. Up to 2.95GHz prime stable (on air); will post a screen a little later. Going for 2.97GHz or so today... Might also take a look at max SuperPi 32M; don't use this myself for stability but lots here do. Low priority though.Quote:

ixtapalapaquetl: you're doing this on air with an xp-90? wow.
I just bought my opteron 165 at monarch for 287$ hopefully I can OC the crap out of that one just like the Opterons they show here. I would love to have a 2.8GHz at stock.
these steppings are looking promising.......seems that australian ones 0534SPMW are not as good but still decent..........one is a 2.85GHz with 1.65v (also keep in mind it's pretty hot here) second one is on phase at 3GHz with stock vcore i thinkQuote:

Yep. Bottom of HS is notched pretty badly by an old naked core too! Need to lap it real bad. Here's the 2.95 shot. Fighting for 3.0 again now. Large FFT's keep failing in minutes.Quote:

ixtapalapaquetl and racinjimmy, I ordered a dfi-cf, should be here wed or thurs. I'll be running with everything in sig, as of right now, with the IHS off, idle temp for me is 26c, (that's what my board says, I have no idea what it really is, and I have to vaccum off the dust from the front of my 302 too :P ) Guys, looks like we really lucked out. Whoever wants that stepping better order it retail from monarch FAST (i'm talking about the 175!!! nothing else, don't be mad if you order a diff chip model and don't get that stepping, as of right now, as far as any of us know, that stepping does not exist for any other model). Of course, I'm pretty sure you'll get it slow as hell, I almost cancelled on the last day that they actually sent me the tracking # for the chip. Since this is the dual core opty thread, I'll only be updating my own thread (with more indepth analysis) and this thread with just some benches and screenies, and a sucide shot or two, hehe.
well I have decided on what my max 24/7 will be
I run climateprediction.net, which in my opinion is even more intense and prone to errors than prime95
SO
24/7 is 285X10 with a 5/6 divider for 2850 and 237 on my VX
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...imy/screen.jpg
and max benchable so far for me is:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...njimy/2915.jpg
I tried for 3 gHz and it was a no go even cranking up the volts, I never had a CPU temp issue BUT my PWMIC went to like 60C under load at 273X11 with 1.425 X 110% (1.61V) to the CPU under two instances of superPI and I have GREAT case airflow with an intake blowhole over my ram.........
Monarch has the 165 in stock for a decent price -
OEM: http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...&AFFIL=dt&NR=1
Retail: http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...ct_Code=120338
Damn, if I didn't have this X2 already I would BUY BUY BUY!
Had another go at 3GHz, got beat back down to 2.97GHz. Will leave it here till I can lap the Venice core indentations out of my HS.

Got my 165 today.. CCBWE 0534
gotta run to class but I am priming at 2475 MHz @ 1.31V at the moment.
so the ccbwe 170's can get 2800/2900 on air (xp90) with relative ease? And is it worth paying the 50 or so extra dollars on monarch for the retail 170 kit? or just get the OEM and spend the rest of the money to get an xp90?
thanks
sorry for the double post, but at what volts are these chips safe to have on air? I see a lot of people on around 1.5 but with only air and having base volts be 1.3, it seems like a big jump
so is an increase in .2ish volts safe with an xp90?
i seem to be hitting the 2.8 GHz limit like everyone else.. priming at 1.56V @ 2.8 Ghz (aircooled scythe ninja)
i thought u r running for class ??? :DQuote:

2.8Ghz really isn't shabby for a 165 u know

what's ur temp like ?Quote:

Wow 60C. Little guys run warm huh?
Nice results guys. Keep'm coming.
Stickied. ;)
I run a Cathar Storm on my NF4. I had to make my own mount kit with screws. Ive removed my IHS and have my block torqued down a LOT to decrease load temps. I believe these cores are a hell of a lot stronger than anything back in the XP days, so i wouldnt worry about it.Quote:

Nevermind, OEM is out of stock too.. Hmm, take a gamble on a 170?
we need those opty here (canada) :mad:
Still tweaking.. Core 1 still likes to fail Prime95 Small FTT's. I went back down to 2.7 GHz (300x9)
I remounted my HSF and cleaned up some cables.. temps are a bit better..
Dual priming at 1.45V @ 2.7 GHz, only been going for 10 minutes though.
Temps:
48C Load
57C PWM IC :(
49C Chipset
I know dualcore = high PWM IC temps.. but i think its above average.. My case cooling isn't that bad..
Have a P180 with 4 120mm fans inside.
HAVE YOU GOT DIRECT FAN OVER PWMQuote:

Unreal. I just was looking for a certain stepping opty on Google and in most of the forums, you were there. I come back to XS and the first thing I see is your name. LOL
You have to be the most traveled oc'er on the forums. Do you ever sleep? :)
Take your time going, just hurry back. :D
oh they certainly do.........................Quote:

What model and stepping should I try to find? CCBWE 0530? I will be under phase so giving it juice for a high oc isn't a problem.
I'm dunno if I should wait for prices to come down for the higher models.. and that doesn't even guarantee a better oc correct? Should I just spend the money now for the 165?
Buy them from Monarch ;)Quote:

basically, CPU 1 is able to prime 100% cpu usage as long as CPU 0 is idle.
waiting is bad for getting a hot stepping. your best bet is opty 165/170/175 retail from monarch. I bet in a couple weeks, those steppings will poof.Quote:

Guess I'll bite the bullet and try one. 170 OEM or Retail?
OMFG!!! i had no idea these 939 opterons even existed. my X2 3800 is now officially on sale and as soon as i sell it im getting a dual core opteron. what do you think guys, 170 oem from monarch or 165 retail from mwave or 170 retail from mwave ?? i wanna maximize my chances at a good oc. thank you xtremesystems.
it's about luck so i guess a retail 165 will do if u can handle high htt.
I think the best onsidering price will be 165. I have one doubt and I am not sure this is the right place.
I ordered a 165 yesterday from monarch when there was stock. Now it says this message:
ETA November 28
Ship dates may change. Please check back here for most current ETA date.
Temporarily Out of Stock - Now taking back orders on a first come, first serve basis
This means I might not receive my opt 165 now? I am sorry but I am from europe and sometimes my english is not that good. Tkx!
