The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

Here are my initial runs with this chip after a few hours playing

146 CABYE 0540 FPAW

Stock settings were good - meaning that it ran up with no issues.

200x10 @ 1.4v

310x10 @ 1.4v
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=49323

Now wondering were it would go I stopped the long Pi runs just to see what happens.
330x10 @ 1.44v

Until finally stopping here .. well at least for this inital test period anyway
340x10 @ 1.5v
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=49322

There is plenty of work still to do and the BIOS, while stable, is showing up some errors - like missing FSB 388. I also need to get my good TCCD's back on line..

Current BIOS
704-2BTA / Yellow Slots / 1.5-2-5-2-7-14

And yes the Pi times are not matched for the speeds due to not maxing out the mem - they are on a big divider - tweaking will come later.

**tatts** · 11-10-2005, 07:04 AM

looking good ncsa, now to test for stability

**LowRun** · 11-10-2005, 07:10 AM

@ncsa
Seems like a very nice chip you got.

OT
And those guys taking care of tigers are utterly incredible (saw them on tv and was like

)

**eva2000** · 11-10-2005, 08:03 AM

here's my latest still on Hydrocool 200 water

2x 512MB Gskill PC4400LE TCCD 431
@282mhz 2.5-3-3-7 7-14-2222 on 180 divider

So far best 1M clock/time

**ncsa** · 11-10-2005, 08:19 AM

Yes stability needs to happen at some stage and matching the right BIOS / modules up as well.

@eva .. V.nice timings there and Pi runs. Where can this 623-2BTA BIOS be found as it maybe better for the BH modules I have? Thxs

**tatts** · 11-10-2005, 08:27 AM

not sure if that bios is on this cd but theres plenty on it

**ncsa** · 11-10-2005, 08:34 AM

Thanks tatts .. I had not seen this thread and will give it a go.

Oh btw LowRun .. the little tiggers are something as you can get to walk, even lay on them....

**dnottis** · 11-10-2005, 12:37 PM

just got mine from the egg...

CABYE 0540FPAW

BATCH IS 0035

Should be a good clocker wont play with it till later. will report later.

**D4nnyOcean** · 11-10-2005, 12:46 PM

Just got a CABYE 0540FPAW from Zipzoomfly. Ordered on Tues. I'll bench and post back.

OK so far it has done 2800MHz on stock volts reported at 1.360v and with stock heatsink. Never went over 42C full load.

Right now at 3000MHz on 1.504v 48C load.
Ambient air temp is 73F.

Mon. I get a new case and watercooling setup for this chip so I'll see what that will get me to.

**Xizten** · 11-10-2005, 02:32 PM

These CABYE 0540 every one is getting is indeed looking good. Hope a can get 2.8 stable for BF2 with mine cooled by a TT BT thats i coming in tomorrow.

**el rolio** · 11-10-2005, 02:41 PM

sigh, i'd like a cabye 0540 ha

**phadeout** · 11-10-2005, 03:00 PM

D4nny,

You should update your sig.... we don't know what you are running that CABYE on.

**tatts** · 11-10-2005, 03:18 PM

i got 2 cabye 0540fpbw @ 3ghz

the 148 is being auctioned though as i dont need 2 of them & the 146 does it on 1.45V

I can do 3000 too - its not prime stable though.

Running the Zalman 9500 here, 3000 will super PI 8m, will not complete OCCT or prime so it's not really stable. However 2.930 seems stable at 1.50v.

**scottk** · 11-10-2005, 03:27 PM

Opteron 148 CABYE 0528GPMW. Running on a divider using some old TwinMos BH5, as I don't have my long-term RAM yet. Planning to get 2x1GB Ballistix.

DFI Ultra-D, 6/23/05 BIOS
Swiftech Storm, dual 120mm heatercore, Swiftech MCP655
Peak temps in smartguardian during P95 runs - CPU 55c, PWM 45c, Chipset 38c
CPU appears to scale nicely with voltage, but it hit a wall at 1.623v (BIOS setting 1.475x110%) with this cooling. I'll probably pull down the volts and OC until I see more long term results with these chips at 1.6v + (wouldn't wanna kill it just yet).

Prime95 v24.14, in-place large FFTs, 10x295, 16+ hours

Prime95 v24.14, in-place small FFTs, 10x295, 8+ hours

SuperPi 32M, 10x305. Unimpressive timing due to divider...

what highest prime95 stable clock ?

Dunno, only had it for a few hours - still testing

Running 2.90Ghz @ 1.50v right now, reformatting the machine.

**megawzrd** · 11-10-2005, 04:35 PM

woohoo I got a 146 CABYE 540 fpaw from mwave today...im stoked!

Oh yeah...I am a bit new to these forums, but I definately have been reading em for the past couple of weeks and decided to jump in to the opteron madness.

I also have a 144 CAB2E i ordered from dreamhardware and two more 146s on their way. I was just gonna wait for tomorrow when I will have em all to begin my weekend of fun by chosing the best stepping but I may just start now with the CABYE. If it goes well I probably won't even touch the others and just sell em cherry.

Anyways...let you know my results. Ill fill you in on my board later...not a DFI, just hoping for at least 2.9 and anything more is just icing on the cake.

Oh my poor 3700 sandy, how you will be neglected

Oh yeah...I don't have work tomorrow either

Fun stuff and welcome to XS

If i were you i would test em all, from my experience you never know what it's going to do just by the batch/date codes. GL and enjoy

**jimborae** · 11-10-2005, 04:49 PM

Finally got my Opteron 146 last weekend & found time to install it. The stepping of my Opteron is als CABYE 0540FPAW

**MaxxxRacer** · 11-10-2005, 04:50 PM

I ordered my 146 from monarch last night and it is in the mail. It should be here by Teusday. I will let you guys know how it does on high end water.

I also pray it has a good mem controller so that I can run 310+mhz 1:1

**empty1969** · 11-10-2005, 06:10 PM

Might have gotten lucky for once....

First CPU ordered from Monarch OEM 146 turned out to be a CABGE but arrived with bent pins. They told me I could try bending them back but if I broke one it was my new key chain.

I took the RMA and since they were back ordered I got store credit and took a 148 OEM since the prices have dropped.

Fedex brought me my new toy today!!

OSA148DAA5BN
CAB2E 0540 FPMW

CPU Information (CPU #1):
Standard CPUID: Family: F, Model: 7, Stepping: 1
Extended CPUID: Family: F, Model: 27, Stepping: 1
CPUID String: 20F71
Processor APIC: 0
Processor: AMD Opteron 148 (San Diego)
CPU Speed: 2210.18 (200.93 x 11.0)
Revision: SH8-E4
Platform: Socket 939
Startup VCore: 1.400v
Maximum Case Temperature = 63C

CAB2E stepping does seem to run warmer than my old 3700 SD but it passed OCCT at default speeds using 1.15v in bios 1.12v reported in windows. Will keep folks posted on how it turns out.

How does one identify the batch of the CPU?

Empty

The last four digits in the third line.

**eva2000** · 11-10-2005, 06:20 PM

sweet

2800mhz at 1.312v

haven't tried lower vcore yet

if you don't see the image it might be due to me moving to a new server and domain propagation hasn't compeleted heh

Sorry bout that

It's just not yet a complete "working" system as of yet. Slowly piecing it together.

Here's what I have so far

DFI Lanparty NF4 UT SLI-DR
146 Opteron CABYE 0540FPAW @ 2800MHz 1.39v stock cooler
2x512MB OCZ EL Platinum Rev 2 PC3200 1:1 2.5,3,3,7 2.8v
PCI Radeon 7200
WD SE IDE 80GB

Waiting on the video card(s)

Also on the way is the new Thermaltake Tai-Chi Water Cooled Case and a Swiftech Storm waterblock. Already have the WB just waiting on the Donkey with a limp from CA to get the case here

Oh and the Brand A$$ new Antec Neo HE550 arrived yesterday.... DOA!!!!!!!
