Wow, nice work eva2000 and sierra_bound, non-CABNE 3ghz goodness is coming along nicely for you guys.

Well guys, I'm done tweaking my opteron 146. I can get it to run at 2.7ghz on 1.488v. I'm cooling it with a Cooler Master Hyper 6+, runs at 38-42c idle, 52-57c full load. A little warmer than I'd like. This is the highest I can get it to run Prime95 24 hours stable. I'm running my OCZ 3200 Platinum Rev 2 on dividers, so it shouldn't be affecting things. Mobo is DFI n4 ultra-d w/ 623 bios. Should I be able to do better? I have the apparently famous CABNE stepping. Love this processor, but honestly hoping for just a little more. I can get it to run Super Pi at up to 2.9 and I can post into Windows at up to 3.1. 2.7 is where 24hr stability ends though.

Maybe temps are holding you back? Try reseating your HS, changing your HS (XP-90 is doing me well), and/or removing your IHS?

eWiz. Though they're available now at Monarch too, as several people have already discovered.

Thanks. The chip is for a 24/7 rig. It's running very stable right now at 3GHz in my steel case.

Thanks for posting that runner.


I scooped up a 146. Now we just have to hope they aren't the new "grbge" stepping.

No problem, and totally agree on that "grbge" stepping hehe, hopefully though monarch got a first batch.
