The Official Dual Core Opteron Overclocking Thread

[LiQU!D]

i dont think he's expecting too much. Here's my standards for a "GOOD" dual core

I'd hate to see your standards on women.

I got bored and decided to throw my new setup together ahead of schedule, substituting the new RAM, HDD's and gfx with 2*512MB Kingston HyperX BH-5, an old 15GB Maxtor, and an old Hercules Stingray 128, respectively. Here is what I got with absolutely no effort. I'm not really that knowledgable with A64 OC'ing, so feel free to give me some tips. It's not quite stable, but I'd think it would be stable for daily use, maybe not intensive apps.

Hi,

I thought your meant to supply stability screens, thats just a CPU-z screenshot and doesn't show much really?

How about 12 hours of quad-prime?

[Godmyster]

I ran Superpi, but 12 hours of prime? thats to long lol :P

[masterofpuppets]

Ok, managed to get a bit further with slightly more vcore Do note that I'm not even using the dualcore heatpipe stock cooler, merely the crappy non-heatpipe version. Although I do have an 80mm focused Delta running at 7v on it...

Pete i wish u didnt post tht, wht are you doing to us, hehehee

Just when i was happy with stabalising my Opteron 170 @ 280x10 you come and dump a 320x10

Absolutely amazing CPU, the best Opteron 170 out there without no doubt



So how much mhz increase did the chilled water give you? Im sure it was alot more than what popping the top gave you!

Thanks for the Flowers ... well ... i`m still checking the max ... 10x325 is running as i speak (passed the 2h30m Line already ...)

With that Chiller i don`t care about any Coldbug and i still have some degrees left. So far the water is @15c ... i can go down below 10c ... so we`ll see ...

Anyway ... i`m already more than happy with that "Babe"

btw ... latest ->

Great chip.

[RMSwins]

Using CPU-Z 1.32, it will read actual voltage(1.475v).

PS:// Nice chip. My 0530TPMW can't do that high, only 2.7GHz @ 1.39v on XP-120. Yours on water?

Ah, do you have a link to that version of CPU-Z? I might google it myself but I'm at work right now so no point in downloading it.

I am running water on 3/4" Outer Diameter and 1/2" ID tubing. I don't think the AS5 has had enough time to cure. I've barely found time to play on the new system for any longer than 10 hours a week.

[ablatt]

I have an Opteron 170 0550 UPMW on order.

By the way, www.max2.net here in Canada has them in stock.

The question is, is it worth passing it up and trying to get a 0550 VPMW or should I just be happy with this one and chill out?

[RMSwins]

uhh dude 0530 puts ir around... what late july or something... you're not gonna be getting one from monarch lol.

What was strange was that Monarch was having this week in late December where a lot of people where getting 0530. There was a thread on here not long ago about the Opty 170 and everyone that ordered around 12/20-12/30 recieved 0530 from Monarch. I ordered mine on 12/21.

Buddy try to get an CCB1E0550VPMW and you will be happy for this Year!
Until the Quadcore will come with the M2 Socket!

Very nice results. I've hit a wall with 2.9. I can't prime any longer than 5 seconds on Core 1.

Got any pics of the setup? What block are you using?

Pics .. well .. not really as it`s more or less a mess around the testbed ...

Here is a pic of the block i use on that babe without the ihs:

@RMS
never would do that - more likely ->

"Small" Update on my 0550VPMW ->


10x330@1,536@chilled water (15c)

HA..I ordered one over this time and I got 0546 xpmw..only reason I bought it was to try to get 0530...

Mongoled..what substrate on the 170..what is your bios setting for vcore?

How do you make you ss get bigger so it is I can read it? Under load what temps are you running at 3.25?

Nice chip,BTW.

[Rufus7]

dogsx that are Loadtemps on an Expertboard and the watertemp is 15°C continously. With an Waterchiller Aqua Medic Titan 1500 achieved!
He can cool down his water to 4°C constantly if he wants to!
And he´s currntly by 2x3,3Gig under Prime bye 1,536Vc at 15°C Watertemp and
25°C Loadtemp on his Expertboard!
Look heres a description of the Titan Series!
