hmm I seem to be in the same boat with my 144 locks up @ 285 can run stable @ 280 ?? maybeOriginally Posted by Nights Dawn
Hi there, short term lurker and my first post - I got a CAB2E 0540 FPMW the other day, and I am extremely dissapointed
I am having to run it at 2475mhz at 1.55 volts currently - anything higher clock wise and it fails all of my stress tests, within 6 seconds. Even with 1.6volts and slightly higher - 2700mhz on 1.65v is a no go. Super pi fails doing the 128k calculation never mind the 1m calculation.
Using an NF3 Ultra (Epox 9NDA3J) even back flashed to what is considered the best o/c BIOS of the April 2005 version.
I have an AKASA 460W Paxpower CPU,
XP-120 with L1A Panaflo fan
x800 xt pe
I think the CPU is just a really poor clocker, I have tried with the timings and ram dividers on the lowest they can go - but no luck. So far I have run about 10 hours of SP2004 and I think the clock speed I am at is stable now. Also the HTT is set at 3X (275HTT)
Temps under load are 47-49C

Hi,
Please tell me if there are any absolutelly bad overclocking Opterons 146, as I can buy one for 240 USD (incl Shipping) but unknown week of production/stepping etc
please advise me should i go for it,
Thanks
if its a 0542 youll see about 2.8ghz were a 0540 will do 3ghz+, theres also a 0543 & 0544 out there now but havnt seen any results yet
I7 920 D0 (4.2GHZ HT on) // eVGA Classified // 6GB Corsair dominator 1600mhz // Asus HD5770 x2 // Corsair HX850 /--/
PA120.3 // EK Supreme LT // MCP655 // MM Ufo (soon to be TJ07)
You got a couple of those 0542 146s didnt you tatts? Just for reference, could you list each one and what you got with it?
E2180
MSI P35 Neo2 FR
Geil Black Dragon 2x1GB
EVGA 7900GTX
Toughpower 750W
Viewsonic VP191b
Where are you guys buying the 146 right now? Newegg and zipzoomfly are out of stock on them. Does the 148 OC the same? If so, I may just get that since I can find that one in stock.

Here's my 148 CABYE0543 under water
looks like she'll be another to hit 3ghz with a volt nudge
gonna give it the cold treatment in a couple of days ....i hope she obliges.
got 0545CPBW today 148 opty.
will post results soon.

I've just received a 146 CABYE 0540APMW today. I will post results here as soon as possible, but I have to solve a problem with RAM first that makes the mobo refusing to boot anymore (it seems to be a frequent matter with DFI nF4 Ult.-D).
Anyway, before suffering of RAM problem, I was unable to post @ 3GHz, 1.6V under water... not very promising chip

Can you advise me which memory to use For OC these opterons, as I have a choise and a good budget, but which type and make of memory would be best??? As i have no idea
Thx
I think it depends more on your motherboard than your processor (Opteron or another one).
Which motherboard do you have?

I have to tweak my chip to see what it can really do. Actually, it is hard to believe in a strong difference between chips with the same stepping...

i am a foriegner, well i have a question might sounds stupid, but when you guys buy the CPU from websites as monarchcomputers, can you order a CPU with specific codes? Just tell them in the phone what code you want? who can give me an answer, thanks
i got mine from wiredzone.com

No, only a handful of small shops do this. I got my CABNE that way from compumusic.
Depending on where you are based and if you have the opportunity to travel... 146 week 0543 were in HKG as of 1 day ago... and you can see before you buy.

Abit X38 QuadGT | 3DM03 - 120,337 | 3DM06 - 28,176
I called the same shop and they told me they only had one. I called 3 wks ago and had a CABYE 0540 reserved for me, but I gave it up... now I had to order it form Japan.
the AMD distributor is crap here (not the shop). the distributor didn't even know there was an dual core opty. sad.
