Anybody test one of these 2.8G bad boys yet?

Any predictions on water?
OPP
I'll be brave and say 3.2G on water @1.45 v.
Have fun, del.
I'll go 3.1. What would I win? :D
Depends on water of course..
To be different ~3170 Mhz :)
It's not extreme water, very basic cooling actually.Quote:

I hope defenitely hope you will post some pics of your rig :D Have fun !
By the way.
How do the multipliers work on these Opterons. I think they are locked, correct?
Or can use 14 on down with this particular chip?
OPP
Upwards locked.....my guess is ~3.2 @ 1.5V....nice chip man :toast:Quote:

they run hotter than hell and have cold-bug relatively low :rolleyes:
BUT even at moderate cool temps they FLY!!!
So water, 3.0-3.1 with terrible temps... and 3.6+ with single stage PhaseChange, higher if the cold bug is absent... never seen that stepping before :D
C
Nice chip :D should be a nice sample!!, this should do as good as other good CABNE's I guess.. 3.0~3.2GHz WC??
My OC psychic hotline says 3.16ghz 32M stable with low volts and high temps. ;)Quote:

3.1ghz I think.
Show us this Opty & DFI experte results as soon as you can :toast:
3.2ghz :D
GL
Somewhere between 3.1 and 3.2Ghz i guess.
Nice chip. :toast:

Well as of right now 3100 MHz 3D05 proof so far on DFI RDX200.
Nothing to write home to mom about, it took a lot of volts to get this far.

Wonder how she would do in a DFI NF4 ;) Anyhow, thanks for the update.
Tomorrow I’ll throw this chip under -90C on the DFI Expert and see if she’s bugged.
OPP
That's still damn nice... but... I don't wanna know what it cost compared to a gold 146....
~ x5 ;)Quote:

My 150 did about 3000mhz 1M on water @ like 38C idle
My 150 did 3440mHz 1M on phase @ like 8C idle
At 3600mhz I can start superPi and it dies about 3 steps in... from the heat, at only 1.6v. With -50C bulletproof cooling, it's probs be benchable at 3700-3800mHz...
They are VERY GOOD under the ice :D
Nice cpu :fact: Show us what that chip and cascade can do. :toast:
It will be interesting to see it with cascade. W/out or little cold bug probly 14X265 attainable?
nice about same as my new 146 CAB2E 0540FPMWQuote:

Not bad eva.
Things are running much smoother today.
I took of the spreader and I gained 100MHz so far and a good 17C of cooling thanks to the better contact.
See if I can't stablize this sucker at 3300MHz.

3.2 is pretty damn good for watercooling.
Though I must admit that its totaly not worth the extra cost over, say a 146. For the price of this cpu you could get several 146's and out of that batch, almost be garunteed a great clocker. And besides you'd have a few extra chips to mess around with too.
BUT if you get a 154 for free, then who's complaining ;)
3D proofed at 3250 MHz using 1.63V.
The Max temps I've seen are only hitting 33C so far, a far cry from yesterday's 48C and less voltage.:D
OPP
Amazing results on H2O Opp....
:cussing:
I was content with 3100 with a temp wall. You have now convinced me to rip off the IHS.
How come cpu-z shows a bugged reading for vcore in your screenies? Does it ever give the correct reading?Quote:

3250 is more than i hoped for, when will it meet coldness?
It always reads 1.4V, with this DFI crossfire board anyway.Quote:

Thanks
Tim
I have no single stage. I could go one notch down from the cascade to Dry Ice though, If I have to.
OPP
Ok that should work good as well IF needed. If unlocked upwards I know a little secret about the cold if ya wanna know. You may already know it though.
The max multiplier is 14, if the chip only has the LOW memory cold bug, I'm still doomed. My only hope is that it has no Cold Bug at all :DQuote:

Will be interesting to see if it works @ -90C... GOOD LUCK!!

That crossfire board is so wierd. I took single stage unit to customer shoved it to his system and ran it to find out.... it will read wierd temperature and even wierder voltage on CPU-Z with his FX-57. We kept jacking up voltage until we hit 1.75v or so and realized that cpu-z just wasn't reading things right (and at one point was reading CPU speed wrong on top).
PS) OPP, have you had chips that were naked which had cold bug problem? I am wondering if it's just internal cpu malfunctioning or the thermal paste from core to heatspreader start acting as insulator or no thermal paste below certain temperature. From my winchester experiments when cold bug started showing up in big way (even in single stage), same cpu will boot or not boot depending on different type of mobo. MSI neo2 really was bad while asus one consitantly booted 10c colder than MSI did. At the moment my suspicion was that depending on mobo configuration with bios, temp sensor might have given unreadable result back to mobo preventing it from boot up. It still might be true but I would like to get expert opinion from someone whose seen many cold bugs by now.
Wooh! It's lookin good! Hope it likes the cold.
Just curious, if you are fully getting back into benching, will you be contending w/ 2x7800GTX 512's or 2xX1800XT's?
Looking pretty good at -94C.
Thats redline doing agressive timings.
OPP
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...id=39750&stc=1
Amazing clocks there, glad to see it decided to work for you at those temps. How stable is it at that speed? pi 1M? 32M?
yeah, nice.... is it benchable there??Quote:

-94C whoa
OK, now we need another Opteron with similar stepping tested under cascade. It could be the holy grail 90nm chips we have been searching for.
That looks soo cool OPP, looking forward to some XT benches in Crossfire :D
Yea it was 3d stable at 3700 MHz but that was about it for some reason.
I tried dividers, tried some GSkill, the chip will run high FSB and Mem it just seems the chip sucks at overclocking.
I'll test her again tomorrow, I'll test the memories with a low Multiplier and all that stuff. I did 2 window installs without a hick up at -94C:D
I just hope the chip overclocks farther.

when my mach2 is on turbo mode, that is about -40c idle temp :)
thx
btw. really nice 154 there, im jealous :slobber: :slobber:
I didn't test for max HTT, I'll check it tomorrow.Quote:

Mine got hitted by cold bug @ -20c idle
Somehow i find its mem control arent that great
Looking good sofar :D
what waterblock were you using?
Nice work OPP! That's a pretty darn good result there. No cold bug....nice.Quote:

I'm gunna try my cold bugged FX-57 on this board today and answer that question for myself:D

Give us some Super Pi ! :toast:
Sit tight and waiting... :)

:)
Seems all good so far but I am more interested in the Expert in relation to any OC improvements over the old NF4 Ultras :)
So far, the Expert is showing it's expertise in killing CPUs it seems.

O'well.
OPP
If we only knew what EXACTLY is the cold bug (why and what really happens from very technical point of view) then I think some bright engineer could have been able to fix it. I think it was hoped (I remember Tony really did) that adjusting Drive Strenghts could fix the problem. Therefore with such a plethora of those options in BIOS, up to 15, it would help (It certainly did NOT help on other mobos). I guess, and I really thought that from the beginning, the theory does not meet with practice in this case...Quote:

I believe its PC Ice's 3800+ Venice taht hit over 3800mhz. Not sure though but I think thats it.Quote:

but as far as i remember tony said that the colder your temps get the lower you have to set the driving strength values. so 15 would be exactly in the wrong direction.Quote:

Woohooo, Opp is into SuperPi!! :toast:
Show us some records for SuperPi Opp, that chip doesn't suffer from the cold it seems, did you work out wheter it's the chip or the mobo already?
can you do a bandwidth shot from sisoft sandra, at your highest speed?
I'd love to see that.
The 3800MHz screen shot isn't a max screeny, who knows how high just a screeny could be. The 3800MHz was just the speed I was running trying to make stable.Quote:

Hey OPP, can you post your RAM timings for the Expert board with UTT memory? I can't seem to get my setup OC'ed.
no it was ricky and pedro i think 4+ghz i dunno use the search button lol opp, good chip let us know if you've made more progress :toast:Quote:
