The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

[ozzimark]

I'm guessing the 3ghz 32M SuperPi stable club will be growing pretty big by Wednesday.

i'm wondering if my mobo is lame.. and that's why my results are so much slower than you guys

[gundamit]

Did you ever move off your stock cooling? dogsx2 has some pretty good air going. I'm on water. Might be the CPU (luck of the draw) since I think we had a little less voltage for the same clock speeds than your chart indicated. Still, way too early in the testing to draw any conclusions. When we have the next batch in the hands of more users, the truth shall be revealed.

[ozzimark]

yeah, i'm using water right now. takes about 1.6v to get 2942mhz sPI 1m stable, where as you guys are doing 3ghz with 1.4-1.5v

it could be that i simply have a bunk core too.

Looks like u gonna have to test tht chip on another mobo 4 sure, you know anybody who can test it for you? Cos u got a new mthbrd also (i think i remember u sayin it was new) you dont know how tht mthbrd performs.

Im sure i dont need to mention this but I will, LOL try to take pieces out of the equation, i leave my explanation at tht,

heheheee

Put it on dual channel guys... you will see nice temp increase -_-;
Now put it on 2x1gb dual channel you will see even nicer temp increase... -_-;
something I found on these x2 chips last week.

my thoughts exactly. i'm gonna try to get another one just to find out for sure

[Ref]

Can't wait for dual core 939 Opterons !

[VulgarHandle]

yes, something about dual 3.0 on air that gets your heart warm

[Vapor]

I can wait...preliminary indications show them costing a fortune. I'm sure they'll OC very well though.

I'm more interested in the 154....

[LORD]

Nice results! Keep em comin'

[asianguy80]

I'll have my 146 tomorrow. Maybe i'll test it out on my neo4 platinum

[gundamit]

Dang. Wish I had more time to play with this thing right now! I tried to go straight to 3.1ghz but it ain't happening. The speed/voltage scaling seems true to the Ozzi article. I might be near the end of the OC trail on this CPU without better cooling. The memory speed is still low enough that I don't think its holding things up. I wonder if this CPU will play nice with my old school BH-5 and my 2x1gig Patriot set.



Any one else scheduled to get their CPUs today?

@dogsx2 - Maybe you can get a database going in the original post that'll start to list the CPUs tested. Thats the kind of thing I think the mods looks for when they decide whether something is stickied. Maybe that and numbner of views.

[njkid32]

OK thats it I am getting one! Heading to Fry's after work to see if they have them yet!

[afireinside]

UGH it sucks to sit here and see this. I wish I could have ordered it from a shop with 2 day shipping and be playing tomorrow instead of waiting till friday/saturday to get it from vandi

With my luck I'll need direct 115v from an outlet to get 3.2ghz

[Vapor]

Same boat as you AFI....but then I'll have the whole freakin weekend to play! Only to be interrupted by dancing class....ugh.

[4rory]

What is the differnce between the oppties and the sandieagos? I read there the same core, then what the point of buying one over a sd? Are they cheaper can they do something the sd cant or vise versa?

BTW dogsx2 do you happen to have a 2405fpw? those pics fit my screen perfect it seems. 1920*1200.

[Vapor]

These seem to have been tested differently....

[ozzimark]

The speed/voltage scaling seems true to the Ozzi article.

how does your scale anyhow.. i presume how mine did, plus ~300mhz

4rory, stock speed on the 144 is 1.8ghz.. it's the same price as a 3000+. this is why they're so attractive

gundamit:
What type of memory are you using? Is TCCD/UTT problematic with Opteron?

Yeah... Got a 5 day weekend! And I can't get dry ice until the weekend anyway. But I still want to test on water. Anyone take IHS off of one yet? Mine will be naked as soon as it leaves the box

[Absolute_0]

What load temps are we seeing with SP2004 running for hours? Do they seem to be very temp limited? Who's gonna remove the IHS first?

Good deal...you'll beat me to the DI by about a month, LOL. Anyway, I just realized I don't have any AS5

Emergency order from the Egg.....here I come! (maybe frozenCPU, my radiator needs some new fans)

Either me or Jason

Go get 2x 22g arctic ceramique tubes from jabtech like I did and never run out of grease again!

[4rory]

Meh don't take of the ihs just to see if it has an s, after all even my +3200 venice had the s.

Man 1meg chache for the price of a +3000 and they overclock great... do they have the multi's unlocked in the downware also?

[gundamit]

Only to be interrupted by dancing class....ugh.

Like square dancing or something?

Just some Hynix I had laying around. I wasn't picky because I was planning to start with with memory at a safe/sane speed so it didn't get in the way of the CPU.

how does your scale anyhow.. i presume how mine did, plus ~300mhz

I first gave it a little bump on the volts right at 2.7ghz then took a jump straight to 3ghz and just under 1.5v. No stops inbetween so I'm kinda guessing at the middle part.
