The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

[dogsx2]

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.

Nope, hp f2304. Big screen is great

Like square dancing or something?

Ballroom--it's pretty sweet actually.

As for the AS5....my mom found the tube I left at home and is sending it out ASAP This is the fourth time I've asked though (she keeps sending me stuff and it never has the AS5 in it)

[gundamit]

This CPU is such a tease. Maybe if I sneak up on 3.1ghz ...



Gaaaah! Have to stop now. Maybe later tonight I can sneak in a few minutes.

[dogsx2]

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

Wrong, there attractive because they can do 2900+ MHz. If they were $250 I'd stiil buy one.

[Vapor]

That's freakin sweet gundamit! I'm going to assume stock cooling, am I right?

not in my case, but i might be an exception.. or there might be other variables going on. we'll see what the deal is

edit: well actually.. i can to +2.9ghz, just not really stable

3.065 32m pi,

[Vapor]

I'm betting it's your board, CF....

[ozzimark]

I'm betting it's your board, CF....

we'll see on that. my bank account is hating on me, but i'll figure it out

[Vapor]

Yeah, my bank account is hating on me too, but I need just a few more things before I settle down

[4rory]

I just checked out my local shops website and they have a 144 and a 244 for sale the 144 is $259 and the 244 is $239.are they the same expect the 244 can be used in a 2 cpu setup.

Do they overclock the same?

[Vapor]

They are not the same dude...no such thing as an S939 244

[4rory]

I c yes all the opttys on there site are 940, missed that cuz it was a subcategory under amd 939/940.

[slimais]

3Ghz on air... its more then nice
can`t wait for my Optie146, ordered them today... i will get my hands on 3x 146 Opties and torture them all under VapoLS...

[Vapor]

And you paid less than what you would for an FX....smart move (that and you can make some of it back ).

[computersmsa]

Edit : "robberbaron" ?

[ozzimark]

Thought his 144 was topic, you were the one that listed him as getting one.

are you sure it wasn't me? he is a pretty good friend of mine. vandi got two opterons initially, mine and baron's. i haven't asked where that opteron is at recently though

[computersmsa]

I don't understand who is robberbaron and why you answer me about him ?

[dogsx2]

I don't understand who is robberbaron and why you answer me about him ?

I was wrong, mongled said robberbaron was getting a 144 and you used the post as a quote. I remembered the cat and the robberbaron and thought you had posted it(teach me to get my facts straight). Sorry

[gundamit]

That's freakin sweet gundamit! I'm going to assume stock cooling, am I right?

Nope. I'm on water. But I think you can see from the volts I'm running someone with good air could see 3ghz like dogsx2.

Looks like I'm hitting a wall where >1.52v doesn't really net me more speed. While I'm scratching my head over that, I decided to start testing some memory to to knock down some rumors of the Opty being picky. I'm starting with my TCCD.



Temps aren't topping out as high today. Maybe ambient temps are down and the block is settling.

Tommorow old school BH-5.

Speaking of tommorow ... I sure everyone and their mother will start posting their results. Sure would be nice if we could do one stop shoping for info on the Opty in a single thread. Yes. That is a hint. Anyone up to maintaining a database of results and a thread that might be sticky bound?

[VulgarHandle]

1.472v Spi 32m stable @ 3.006, yup, i'd say 3g on air is more than possible, good enough air, maybe 3.1, 3.2 w/ a noisy fan

very very very nice to see all these results, i'll be behind everyone, as i'm not ordering for 3 more weeks , hope if the steppings change they're just as good(or maybe i can just beg my wife to let me order as soon as monarch drops em next week)

[ianocean]

Is the multiplier locked?

[dinos22]

oh man. i'm gonna order another chip now...this is farking awesome

[eva2000]
