Just got my Opteron 146 :)

[mongoled]

Woohooo,

just got my Opty in the post, UK to Cyprus in 5 days! Thanks to Stella over at cpucity.co.uk for sorting this all out, first UK retailer of Opty 939 with the help of XS and one of its members .

Right my cooling is as follows:

XP90 some crappy low speed 90mm fan

This will be updated in the next few days to:

temporary water cooling setup + some lumps of ice in water
first attempt a WaterCHiller, dont want to cold temps +10C idle would be nice

Booted up fine at 2.8ghz 1.4v, idle temps 38C, ambient temps arnd 28C (its hot and humid in Cyprus ). Running prime95 as we speak, onto 2nd test, temps are arnd 48C.


The CPU I have has a low last three didget number I think its 036 , we will see if the low number proves to be any good. Im going to push it as far as it goes on default voltage, the temps r already quite high, once ive tested on air, I will switch to water. Need to get tht sorted, just finished cleaning out my WC system, now need to work out how to set everything up.

Think I will be priming, benching whilst planning the WC setup

Oh here is a MaxTCase screen shot



Hehhehe, onto test number 5, temps steady at 46-48C, not bad when considering ambient temps.
