I'll hold my 144 and 146 0530 CABNE in reserve until I've flogged the last mhz out of the 0528 CABYE.

I'm saying good because it's not like the 0536VPAW's and I've seen 2 that will do at least 3.3-3.4 under single phase. Also the one I have will do about the same as my other two. Haven't burned it enough to know where it will end up. As you know even within the same week and stepping there is a top and bottom, so far the bottom isn't that bad. Time will tell.

Please, no punds at 6:04am

, save them for pm only.

i think it's time to make an official database thread with all the oc results organized neatly. what shall be the requirement for getting in?

**gundamit** · 10-14-2005, 05:18 AM

32M Stable, Tweaker Shot and CPU-Z validation. AIr, Water and Phase categories.

**ozzimark** · 10-14-2005, 07:13 AM

sounds good. who has enough time to maintain it?

**Sinnerman49** · 10-14-2005, 07:27 AM

Can anyone fill me in on what seems to be the *best* 2x512 ram solution for this processor on a DFI NF4-Ultra?

Thanks....I was able to hit 3ghz on my crappy ram with a MAJOR div unstable, so I'm thinking it's time to upgrade my ram!

**RafaDel** · 10-14-2005, 07:49 AM

What you guys think I should expect from a 148 CABYE 0536GPMW with a good air cooling?

**skirms_fr** · 10-14-2005, 07:49 AM

first clock on opteron 144 cabge under cascade -90

hard to boot at 240 fsb 1.7 vcore on giga k8nsnxp-939, and freeze in windows at 245 :/

this opteron sux a lot :o

on air prime all the night at 1.7 vcore 292 x 9 , and boot at 270 x9

:/

Hey can you tell us how is your 148 going so far?

Looks like I'm a bit unlucky. Maximum stable clock I can get is around 2.75GHz.

Thats not correct: Try this: Setup at BIOS to 1.535V. Then cinfigure with clockgen 1.45V, ya will see with CPU-Z that ya will get 1.58 to 1.616V

**mbm** · 10-14-2005, 09:55 AM

Just order a 146 from overclockers.de they are in stock.
Hope its a goooood one

We havent got the Opterons here in Denmark yet.
Just ordered one from Germany. Dont know the stepping though.

**kwago** · 10-14-2005, 10:11 AM

opteron 148 w/ 2x1GB Ballistix DDR 500 , dfi ultra D w/ 7-04 bios
havent really had a chance to really tweak my memory, but it's surely a great start!
cpu temps are at around 39C

**BLHealthy4life** · 10-14-2005, 10:36 AM

Hi guys. Very stupid question I'm sure but after briefly skimming the thread here, I am still unsure the the Opterons are multi locked or not.

Are they able to go downward in multis?

Thanks!

**Ychocky** · 10-14-2005, 10:42 AM

These Opterons look fantastic. Makes me want to hold off my dual opteron build.

Didn't look at folks locations reading this thread, any Canadian members with info of retailers? NCIX has the 144 listed and shipping early next week.

**asianguy80** · 10-14-2005, 10:46 AM

@BLHealthy4life: Yes they are able to go downwards in multi's

@skirms_fr: what cpu did you have in your mobo before and what was the max HTT you hit with that? What kind of RAM are you running and are you using a divider? I'm not sure what kind of results to expect with cascade so I cannot comment on the performence of subzero temps.

before i have a winni 0448 spmw 360 x 9 max screen with bh5@ 3.85

how is that motherboard working out for you?.... i am still waiting for my 146 to come from upgrade source. they wont be in till the 25, but i am still looking for a good agp board to put this processor on

**mbm** · 10-14-2005, 11:37 AM

Its working OK. Doing 255x10 at 1:1 (2.5-3-3-10-1T)
People are hitting 300mhz FSB and some close to 400mhz.

I dont see it as a super OC board though. I bought it because of the AGP and PCI-E combo. If I had a PCI-E card I would get another board.

exactly why i asked. i have a x800xl agp and dont want to buy another card. did u do any mods to it?

yeah they are only uplocked

**ozzimark** · 10-14-2005, 12:02 PM

with some ram that does higher mhz, i'm sure i could change the divider to 166mhz for a higher ram clock, but i finally got around to doing some real tweaking. how much more do you guys think i can get out of it?

(btw, this is with 2x512mb ballistix, one is sorta dead, gives lots of errors in one spot

)

(also remember that this used to be my max 1m without resorting to chilled water: http://eclipseoc.com/phpwcms_filestorage/1/1_42.png)

Ive done the Vcore mod. But it didnt gave me extra OC. Im running at 1,45V now.

**ocZZ** · 10-14-2005, 01:33 PM

whats the max load a 48 cabye should be running at? I am at 1.44v, 2900 and 40c idle 58c load :/

58c is high... but, these Opterons are by far the hotest AMD chips I've ever used, in fact, only my old 3.4 Prescott would run up the temps higher.

With my water cooling setup I have seen load temps hit 55c... although that was at nearly 1.6v.

I'd suggest you look into upgrading your cooling system.

ouch. took me 1.55v on the stock cooler to get ~62c load temps.
