Opty 170 2.9Ghz on AIR

[cyberexia]

This is the standard.

nice batch/stepping and date of cpu ?

[vapb400]

Wow that is nice. I will probably pick up an Opteron 180 shortly, im hoping for 250x12 24/7 stable with good air or water.

These dual core opty's look pretty good. I guess by out of the box u mean stock cooler and thermal paste?? Or is it the SI-20 in your sig? With a BT and some AS5 or shin etsu (which ever people think are better) 3ghz might be possible.

[SoF]

definitly very good for a dualcore. and an opty, not on its limits, on air?
O_O amazing
I'm interested what it will do with more volts and some more tweaking - go for the 3 GHZ Pi

[Freez]

Lower the divider and lets see 3 Ghz!

[cyberexia]

divider is at the lowest 1:2

3Ghz will boot and past 1M, but fails prime on core1 after a few seconds. i'm not putting anymore volts to it right now. YES, i'm using the SI-120 w/ AS5

I'm awaiting my crucial to get back from RMA and my DFI SLI-DR mobo, then i'll try tweaking some more...right now, i'm just burning in the CPU at the current settings...

[vapb400]

what board is it on now? Come on give it 1.6

[ben805]

is IHS still on?

[cyberexia]

yes, ihs is on (si-120..hmm)
uh, it's on dfi ultra-d.
and more volts does nothing for 2.95 so...calm down, let me burn it in for a while first

... batch/stepping and date of cpu ?

what eva2000 said ^^

[cyberexia]

CCBWE
Don't know the date....i'm not taking it out to get it
i'll have that in a week or so when i replace the mobo

[pcfreak]

those CCBWE seem to clock very well

(check stepping in sig)

[mad mikee]

Where did you get it?

[topfuel]

no screenies ??

[cyberexia]

Monarch. I got screenies coming in a week or so, waiting on my Ballistix to get back from RMA

[CanadianTSi]

I wish my CCBWE would clock like that

[cyberexia]

Get an opteron and it will
They are only $305 at mwave.

i took two from mwave yesterday, one is good, one is bad.
will post the result later

denny are you going to mousepot the good one

[vapb400]

UGH! Where are the 180's! I guess I might have to pick up a 4800+ instead, but I would love to gamble with the Opteron.

[mad mikee]

No IHS, Lapped CPU + TTBT for now, 20pin PSU in the DFI, untried Ballistix 2G 1:1....

170-CCBWE 0530 TPMW (yeah the gold stepping ) ....0076

Water tomorrow nite

[mion]

I will be getting my 170 tomorrow but I doubt that will overclock as anybodies else, I don't have luck with this things. My only hope is that it will do enough to get mushin to 255 under divider

[terrordemon]

i reeeeeeeeeealy hope that i get a ccbwe from my 170... 2.9 or even 2.8 on air would be crazy

on a side note, youre using the si-120. how does that compare to other heatsinks in that price range? particularly the XP-90, XP-90C, XP-120, and Thermalright Big Typhoon? I need to decide on which one to buy

thanks

[Astennu]

i esspect to get my Opteron 165 next week. I hope it will do like 2.9 or so :P. To bad its only 9x mult. but my DFI can handle 316 now for 24/7 use so that would not be a big problem. i think he can do 322 as well

I realy hope for a nice high oc :P
