Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[gromet]

I'm running a 165 CCBBE 0617 @ 3.0 stable. 333x9 FSB. I did remove the HS for temps.

I would hope any 170+ could match this or do better honestly. I just dont see how 185's are barely getting to 3.0ghz and calling it good....I would shoot for 3.2+. I would love to get a 185 and play with to go above 3.0ghz, lowering the cpu multipler and increasing the FSB to get well above 3.0ghz seems possible..but S939 is slowly dying, and plan on doing upgrade at the end of the year.

have a fan blowing over it and it hovers around 75C usually . Without a fan it goes up to about 86C. These LCB9E are just very power hungry chips . My PWM never exceeded 50C with my single core opty

Sounds like the issue I had...My core didnt have very good contact w/ the HS. Remove the HS and temps droped from 40idle to 22idle, load 65 (3 hours orthos) to an average of 37.3 (24hours of orthos)
