The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

LOL I just cut off some of that green crap on the thing... Probably dead with my luck. Every IHS gets harder and harder to take off...

**afireinside** · 09-30-2005, 12:00 PM

WOOT!

I'll pick some up tonight, thanks.

Maybe a stupid question but is the performance between a venice 2.7ghz and operton 2.7ghz noticable on real life benchmarks?
How does the memorycontroller does his job?

How much benefit is there to removing the IHS? Taking a blade to something so hard to get doesn't seem...I dunno...good.

After it's off, what should be use to brace the heatsink? I know XP's have those four circle pads, one in each corner.

**afireinside** · 09-30-2005, 12:59 PM

You gain a few C... I always take IHS off.

3ghz 8m stable 1.5v right now. Ram works just as well as on my 3700+ diego

So far at least. Only tested 265mhz. Haven't pushed 3.8v yet for some suicide 1m benching on the ram. Still on watercooling. About to try 32m

**Le_Petit_Lapin** · 09-30-2005, 01:13 PM

Anyone know when these hardcore little overclocking Optys come out in the UK?

To say "I want one" is a complete understatement...

Nice going,

Good to see someone has decided to take off the IHS

will be looking forward to your results

U can already get these over at cpucity.co.uk, go and take a look, he should have Opty 144 in by Monday and Opty 146 at a later date.

check out cpucity, only place seen so far for preorders

**Le_Petit_Lapin** · 09-30-2005, 01:53 PM

In must have been blind when I checked there earlier. Checked again and there it is...the price damn decent too.

Dunno whether to order or not to order a 144, or wait for the 146's or 150's now...

Decisions decisions.....

**Hugo van Dijk** · 09-30-2005, 02:12 PM

I realy need to get one of these opties when they come out here, if i had the money I would buy 2 of these great chips, but i also need to save some money for a new phase system and I still have to build a liquid-cooling system for my sempie, and then i also need a new motherboard and hd,s

, Looks like i have to overwork alot the coming few weeks

Can,t wait to get one of these in my hands

**afireinside** · 09-30-2005, 02:18 PM

Ok:

Voltage doesn't help AT ALL. at 1.55v bios I'm 32m stable at 3ghz. Even up to 1.85v I can't boot over 3060mhz. Weird...

**Absolute_0** · 09-30-2005, 02:30 PM

These opties scale terribly with volts.

**afireinside** · 09-30-2005, 02:37 PM

3050mhz 5m2s 8m

Got a liter of ice in res waiting for temps to pull down...

**Jupiler** · 09-30-2005, 02:51 PM

afi :

what temps are you getting without IHS?

**dinos22** · 09-30-2005, 03:00 PM

you also need to tell us what speeds you were getting before IHS removal

Mine is still on and I might remove it tommorow when my new air cooler gets here then we can compare.

damn so no comparison there......we know about your results.....i would also try the max OCCT speed with IHS and then without because heat is a major issue with those and IHS off should give at least 100MHz

**afireinside** · 09-30-2005, 03:12 PM

Would give me about 500... I can't get contact with an IHS to save my life. Thats why it came off right away.

My results ^^

**asianguy80** · 09-30-2005, 03:18 PM

So with all these results coming in, i haven't had time to tweak with mine would a Sandy 3700 Scale better than these Opty's 144/146's?

**Vince2005** · 09-30-2005, 05:09 PM

Anyone know when they will sells these at Newegg?

**Vapor** · 09-30-2005, 05:10 PM

First tests....couldn't get an inch over 2.68GHz, regardless of voltage, RAM, LDT, etc.

I was wicked bummed to say the least....almost in tears (well, not quite, LOL). Then I got the crazy idea to run the 9x multi, which cleared 2.72GHz. At which point my RAM was a major limitation at 2.5-3-3-0. So I went into BIOS, dropped the multi to 9x, set the divider to 5/6, set timings to 2.5-4-4-7, set voltage back to 1.41V and ran with it.

Well, anyway, here's a quick glimpse of what's to come

.....this wasn't even the max, I simply haven't tried higher.

**dinos22** · 09-30-2005, 05:18 PM

another good one........what BIOS are you on Vapor?

**Vapor** · 09-30-2005, 05:19 PM

Welp, someone down the hall was playing Busta Rhymes and I kept hearing "Gimme Some Mo'" over and over, so I obeyed. Still haven't hit the max--this is just the highest I've tried

EDIT: I'm on the 704-2BTA.

**Vincentvega18** · 09-30-2005, 05:24 PM

almost makes it better you thought it was a poor clocker aswell, a suprise clocker
