Hi,
I finaly got my opteron 165 up to 2800 MHZ, but I'm using 1.568V (CPU-Z) to get there. (Priming 24+ hours)

The other option I have is 2700MHZ @ 1.39V (CPU-Z) (1.425 bios).

I don't wat to burn out my CPU or have problems in the future and I have never paid this much for a CPU before. Then again I was pushing 1.85V into my XP for a few years without any issues, air cooled, and never looked back on it...

My load temp @ 2800 is 43-45C (ambient in 70's or 80's in F ) @ 2700 it is about 38-40.

I asked same Q on [H] and most are recomending to use the 2700mhz solution, but I am not convinced and need a second opinion I m a gamer so anything extra helps...

Also, I may be able to lower the voltage some, 1.5V was not stable so I increaed it a bit more, but it might be stable someplace in between.


So am in in the Danger zone for a 24-7 setting?
