    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?
    What kind of TCCD were you using with this test and on was it on BP 808?
    ■ CM Stacker 830 Evo ■ Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe ■ Opteron 185 ■ G.Skill 2GB HZ ■ eVGA 7900GS KO ■ Segate 200GB/300GB ■ Pioneer DVR-111D ■ BenQ 1655 ■ Ext. BenQ 1640 ► EW164B ■ Corsair HX520W ■ Dell 2005FPW Rev. A0 ■ Logitech z-680 ■

    Its the OCZ Plat rev.2 in my sig. I think thats BP PCB. The Hynix I was testing with earlier was 808.

    Glad to see Eva2000 has some of the Opties on the way. Not sure we'll see any new wrinkles in the memory controller but if there are any, he'll figure them out.

    The multi is locked in exactly the same way it is locked on A64 CPU's, only upwards. Access to lower multipliers is fully available, this is my understading of the situation.

    My old Mushkin BH-5 seems to like the Opty just fine too. I just set the major timings and everthing else to auto. I'm pretty sure with a little tweaking the BH-5 would edge out the TCCD on the Pi run at the same speeds. No time for that. Need to see if there is an OC penalty when running 2x1gig sticks. I'll post that tommorow.

    Has anyone put one of these under phase? I am hoping to get mine by the end of next week! I'll clock the hell out of it under my newley modded mach1 and 1:1 with my patriots. I hope lol!

    That was my only major concern. I'll be getting one ASAP now.

    Hopefully I'll be breaking down my game rig this weekend to get at my Prommie so i can try one of these CPUs at sub zero. I'd be happy with just another 200mhz.

    COOL I'll really look forward to your oc. Man I'll be gone all weekend so I wont be able to see anything till I get home. Heading to vegas to see chilly1 and hitting the tables. So I wont be home till Sunday. Hope to see what that chip has in it!!!

    10ns async 9 perable 2-2-2-6 TRC 14 !?!?! Sorry but those timings SUCK. BH5 can run way tighter timings than those. If you can't run better than opteron sucks with BH5 or you have the worst ram ever.

    Dude, the important timings are 2-2-2-6, and most important is that the Opteron is playing nice with the BH-5.

    Me hangs my head in shame. Lol. That was just a quick and dirty look. Relax. This is an Opty thread.

    Don't listen to him gundamit, those are very good timings.

    afireinside, you probably still think 1T CPC is a critical timing with this CPU too.

    Me begs for Afireinside's forgiveness for dishonor to BH-5

    Maybe this will calm him down a little. Yes. Yes. Still not the tightest possible. Can't believe I gave up quality time with my Patriots for this.



    BTW - I don't think this CPU will have any issues with memory. Look to your mobo if you're having trouble. This should be like most SDs only faster and hotter at lower volts. Maybe like FX-57 with mild Down Syndrome.

    Great, you gained 2% in Everest. In real-world apps that tweak would amount to zero, nothing, nada, zilch.

    Now get back to work on things that matter, gundamit.

    Monarch might have them by next week. You could also PM Vandi423.

    It is. Whats the point of pushing the chip to the limits if your ram blows? If we weren't concerned about benching you would be better off grabbing 2 gigs of value ram, a 3800+ x2, jacking the clocks up to 2.5ghz or so, and calling it a day.

    Thanks gundamit! Preamble is still a bit low though. Teamjapan said that you need a higher preamble to get max clocks. Thats what I'm worried about but other than that it looks good

    you changed your avatar AFI!

    i think what's trying to be said is that the timings really don't make that much of a difference. maybe if you're trying to break records, that's an area where i'll take everything i can get, but otherwise it's simply not important

    but back on topic, we should make a list of the oc's in the first post.. or make an official thread
    Got a fan over those memory sticks? No? Well get to it before you kill them

    I couldn't care less about "benching." What does synth-benching do for anyone other than give them bragging rights. And I imagine I'm in the vast majority with this opinion.

    Real-world performance, that's what most people, even the more xtreme members here, want out of their o/c'ing efforts.

    Wow, you been a busy boy while I was at work. Good job. Got anymore ram you can test? The 144 I got will go to 3050 but I think my mb is going bad besides the ram slot. I hate to buy another DFI with the new DFI boards coming out soon, have you heard when? Will have to get something to soon, hate to be on the sidelines.

    I don't think on air your going to go much past 3100MHz unless you have a really good set of earplugs and a really cold room. Am looking forward to you putting yours on some real cooling. Keep up the good ground work.

    Does this apply to all 939 chips? Well, with higher preamble you don't exactly lose much performance - I'm sure increased CPU mhz, if attainable, would easily outweigh any negligible performance hit of higher preamble...
