My Opteron 146 Is Unlocked!!!!!!!!! Wtf???

**derektm** · 10-26-2005, 09:40 PM

OK!! So something screwed up and now my Opteron reads as an "Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 165.... only its not a dual core!

Right now its at 10.5. CPUZ says I have a Denmark core WTF? This is the same 146 CPU that everyone else got from vandi.

If I try to make any changes in the bios, I have to take the battery out of the motherboard and reset the cmos. It will only boot on CMOS defaults. I have a Lanparty SLI-DR and Ultra-D.

Thanks for any Input!

I tend to blame DFI

**[cTx]Philosophy** · 10-26-2005, 10:21 PM

bios problem I bet..

**derektm** · 10-26-2005, 10:43 PM

I've tried them all. CPU has been running fine for couple weeks now. Should be good.

**Draxx** · 10-26-2005, 11:49 PM

and try another bios.

We've seen this one before.

Some cores have this problem, you have now lost C'n'Q and x64, but you have gained a mp unlock (or partial unlock).

You can return your CPU to AMD to get a new one.

You might not be the only one with some strange things going on. Look at this screenie from G.S Technician on the G.Skill 2GBZX DDR400 2-3-2-5 Test thread.

"Wried" indeed.

**Jaco** · 10-27-2005, 02:46 AM

WTF is wried

Typo by G.S Technician, I think he meant "weird". Then again if I find out some of the Opterons are unlocked "wried" could go in the OC dictionary as meaning "unintentionally unlocked".

**Jaco** · 10-27-2005, 03:26 AM

or 'wired' maybe ? (referring to wire-trick)

**MonkSP** · 10-27-2005, 03:31 AM

might also pressed w instead of f and meant fried, but I am not the english teacher...
still would be great to find it the FX are coming out as opterons just with the a different IHS

The original quote is as follows:

I'm hoping he'll clear this up very quickly.

**Pirated** · 10-27-2005, 07:52 AM

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

**Vapor** · 10-27-2005, 07:55 AM

More importantly derektm....how does it OC?

**Supertim0r** · 10-27-2005, 08:34 AM

you should rma your chip

**Absolute_0** · 10-27-2005, 08:42 AM

I was talking to him earlier, its an 0530 APMW and it did about 2.9 Ghz stable with stock volts and stock cooler. Not something to RMA.

**craig588** · 10-27-2005, 12:21 PM

10.5X doesn't exist. It's actually running at 10x with a memory devider and a HTT multi and the mobo is reporting crazy stuff to CPU-Z. Try 11X.
