My New Toys AM2

[msimax]

That maybe looks a little high, try booting at your max you can boot at go into windows drop it down to like 4.15ns and then clock gen up and see if its stable.

i sent the chip back going to order a 1212 with a 10x multi see what happens and that screen was me toying around it made no difference the chip was bugged but was a good chip. but cooling it went against everything i stand for

[msimax]

theres a new mod bios with all options selectable i cant test yet till i get my new cpu but here it is

I see Rebels Haven has posted a similar mod of the 809 BIOS... But the HT Ratio 1.5x and 2.5x settings are labeled...

im gong to order a AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans 2.2GHz as my funds are low right now but i hope it will reach 3ghz to test out memory until i can get my opty. but for now i have a mod bios and more vdimm to help





i have a mb and ram in the 4/s section good stuff

Ha, I see youre playing with your new toys already.

Good job msimax!

As far as I'm concerned, CCBYF is THE AM2 X2 stepping.
Same as the 4000+s that have overclocked so well.
Got mine to over 3100Mhz with the stock Opteron X2 cooler and nearly 3200Mhz with improved air cooling and 1.6 Vcore max.

I have an X2 5200 CCBXF, can get to 3200MHz on water @ 1.45V, can't seem to get any higher though, even at 1.6V. It upsets me a little, but I guess an AMD @ 3200 is good enough for me.

Temps at idle @ 3200 are about 27C and dual prime about 51C

P.S. Hello to you all

hey nice chip can post some pics and what setup are you using?

[Doktaphex]

Here's a CPU-Z pic.

I'm using the Thermaltake Big-Water 745, seems to be rather nice.

System specs are:

M2N32-Sli deluxe
2Gigs Kingston value DDR2 667
X2 5200
various random HDDs
XFX 6800GT
Silverstone Temjin05 case with 3 x 80mm intake, 1 x 120mm intake, 2 x 120mm exhaust, and 1 x 80mm exhaust.
Hiper Type-R 580w PSU

don't think I've left anything out.

my single core\

that cold nyc air also cpuz seems to be buged

where u get that cpu socket and that metal ?????
on lanparty 590sli??

[msimax]

@Fantasy_Garric

my good friends at dfi sent it to me

[JWilson]

I see Rebels Haven has posted more mod bios for this board See here.

got it to go 900 1t

Hi guys, I have been following this thread for some time now, but looks like this discussion just died, so I decided to become a member in this forum and recandle this discussion by posting some of my results. You can see my rig specs in my signature. My mobo will not go over HTT316 and I am sure you know that a lot of these LanParties have that issue. That is partly the reason I have an expensive Opteron with high multiplier. It maxed out at 3122MHz with 1,55Volt, I managed to get it to 3150 with ClockGen today, but it is very unstable. Now I want to buy an Opteron 1210 or even two because I have seen about 8 different of these reach over 3,2GHz, but to be able to to that i am going to need a DFI mobo that can go as high as at least HTT360. What Infinity board is most likely to reach highest HTT?

I was wondering where all the 1T's were @..

Nice clocking little chips here for sure..

LOL coldbugged on water is Baddddd!!!

Nice job with the OC and on thos Crucial 10!!! luv em!!

if your using air then yeah i would get the 1210 but if your using water i would go with a 1212 or1214 then again i dont know if the stepping changed that allow for high htt @ cold temps, i haven't seen a lot of testing with these optys lately but right now im looking at a 4x4 board with 2 2210 in my future
that were all the fun gonna be soon.

[prostoman]

I have aircooling for now, but thinking of getting water soon, not sure when because I am a student, dont have tooooo much cash to spend. Why are 1212 and 1214 better? Havent seen any results with them yet, have you tried it? How far do they have potential to clock?
msimaks: are you still waiting for that 1212 with 10x multi?

[msimax]

because if you get a cpu that is coldbugged you will want a higher multi to get to 3.0-3.2ghz not with the 9x multi

Are the DFI boards the only boards able to run the Opteron 1000 series? I had a 1218 Retail in the box I only paid $300 for at the Egg and it was useless because my M2N32-SLI couldn't run the CPU.

I still can't understand why mobo makers wouldn't want to write BIOS versions for the new AM2 Opterons, they would only sell more motherboard and AMD would sell more AM2 Opterons which are just gathering dust on store shelves the world over?

Does anyone have a list of mobo's which are able to run AM2 Opterons? The only board I found which did was the DFI LP and even at their site they don't specify this or any other board can run the 1000 series Opterons?

[Liquid3D]

msimax can yopu tell me why you decided to go with the Infinity rather then the NF590?

I have to say for a NF4 chipset I'm simply amazed at the performance, it seems the memory controller in the Opteron just loves this board, but there's obviously more to it then that. Could it be the Infinity's nF4 chipset is tis good at running DDR2? Once your in the DDR600 club that's really getting there.

Some Intel Conroe based board don't OC memory that well?

[msimax]

I went with the infinity just to start out with but i didnt go with nf590cause that board doesn't clock as high the asus crossfire and the asus dont run optys so im waiting it out. but theres that new epox 580 board out, have not seen any reviews yet and the only prob i see with that mb is no OB firewire . i have a firewire card but there goes one of my slots. basically im going to restrain myself for a couple of months to the good stuff start showing up
