The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

What BIOs are you guys using for your TCCD memory on the DFI LP NF4 SLI-D??? I have the SLI-DR, but it's the same bios for either board.

623-3 on SLI-DR, Geil One TCCD single-sided at 345 MHz.

EXPERT + CABNE + AIR = LOVE.



@ tatts:



Load temps at 40C. Wouldn't run these voltages 24/7, but it sure is fun right now. Going to try to prime at about 3125 or so.

[Rufus7]

Than try Prime at 3125Mhz your Loadtemps on Air are Ok by this Frequency.
But your Vcore is very high!
Never the less nice CPU.

And thats my new 170 CCBWE 0536MPMW 086 Batch under Dual Prime

Yea I have 623-3 but I can't run my OCZ EL Platinum Rev. 2 @ 274HTT. People are doing 2.5-4-3-7 3.0V @ 300HTT with this memory, I can't do the same timings @ 274HTT. Even 3-4-4-8 does not work out! Uh I am confused.....

I just got my CAB2E 0540FPMW 144 from Dream Hardware and I noticed that it already has thermal paste on it. Has anyone had good OC results using the stock paste or should I clean it off and use Artic Silver?? The paste looks pretty thick to me. I'm getting my motherboard on tuesday and just looking for some opinions. I'm going to try the stock heatsink first and see what kind of results I can get.

If it has thermal paste on it, and it is a boxed version you bought, then the cpu has already been used, and probably returned for some obscure reason (bad clocker??).
Even if it is a tray version you bought, the cpu should be clean wihout any traces of themal paste.

And, Welcome to XS.

I think he is talking about the HSF

Yeah, you might be right. Although you never know.

[freestylercs]

So, here is one of my two 148 0540 FPBW.

Welcome to XS and the joy of oc'ing an opty.

LOL, the hs comes with the thermal paste on it, just clean it off and use as5, a little dab will do you.

[kakaroto]

Sjees free, that is a fine opteron you have.
Your load temp is soo great though, 38-40C. What is your ambient/room temp?

[GUFY]

Opteron 146 not stable, just fast Super Pi 1M run.

[freestylercs]

20 °C

the heatspreader is very good at this 148er

Can everyone who got OPTERON 146 from www.komplett.se lately, let say from 1 week before what steppings did you get ? Thanks.

Thanks!

Thats what I was wondering.

And yea, I was talking about the thermal paste on the hs.

Awesome forum guys. Keep up the good work.

[coop]

@GUFY, very nice!! On water I assume? What temps-(cold water?), and what stepping on that? Nice ram too.

[GUFY]

@coop wather temp 4 C and Steping is 0540 FPBW.

[ncsa]

Finally after 4 power outages today .. got this Primed up

[coop]

Thanks GUFY, @ncsa, that looks great - is that with 623-2 ?

I got two CABYE 0540FPMW from komplett.se this week...

[ncsa]

Thanks GUFY, @ncsa, that looks great - is that with 623-2 ?

Thanks, Yes 623-2 but with GeIL ONE TCCD not the BH on this .... still working on how to max the Mem Mhz but at least I know the chip is good - better than expected.

Most was 0540 fpmw some was fpaw. No anothers.

I haven't had a chance to play with my Opty 146 CABNE 0530APMW in almost two weeks. Trying to sneak in a few minutes this morning.

Last I left it I had it 32M stable at 3.46ghz but any higher and it crapped out. I thought it might be my Twinmos SP UTT holding things up and sure enough when I dropped a bigger divider on it, I was finally able to meet my goal. I was reluctant to use the 140 divider because the bios has a hard time reporting the correct memory speed. I believe the actual memory speed is around 245 although CPU-Z picked it up as 350. Everest seems to know whats up.

My goal for this CPU when I first started playing with it was 3.5ghz. Finally made it!

so no FPBW's ?

[k0nsl]

Mine was a CABYE 0540FPMW
