When i first got my opteron 146 it needed 1.6v to be stable @ 3g or 3.1g, now a couple of months on its stable with only 1.52v @ 3g its saved me about 3c in load temps aswell on my watercooling.

What htt is everyone running? my old winchester never liked anything over 1000 so i always ran 3 x htt, but this opty runs fine at 4 x 300
I also have had the same drop in voltage required. need 1.62v to Prime at 3Ghz stable. I run it at that for around 3mths, once i removed the IHS its now SOLID in primt at 1.52v

Also lads are the CABYE 0540 FPAW Cold BUGGED?
