The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

[ixtapalapaquetl]

Nope, 3.1 is 3.1. On my 148 the last 30MHz comes hard. This isn't hand grenades ads or horseshoes.

Can anybody loan me a few MHz?



Man, I was all set to just sit here contentedly until my new board showed up, but y'all had to be droppin gauntlets and sh*t! LOL. Dunno what happened. Took this 148 out two days ago to play with a 144, now my 148 is going higher and at lest voltage! Yes, I live in the ghetto so no, my apartment doesn't have any heating (and probably won't for another month - f'in cheapa** slumlords - but I digress), but this is still on air with ambient 18C. Speedfan shows lower temps than MBM. Also included a pic of Vcore - do nF4's rock more stably? Sorry about the myopic image. Don't have time to resize... will give 3.12GHz a shot next.

Does anyone have any info on the new Opteron 150's with the 2.4ghz clock speed? http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=313933&cks=NWP

They're going to be available for a decent price apparently, and with all the decent 144's and 146's all but gone over here, i'm interested to know how they'd clock.

I have both, it must be kinda cool this time of year Somewhere in Hollanda. Do you live by ixtapalapaquetl?

Could be colder here ... like 15C outside but on my room 20-21C ...

But yeah my temp sensors suck on the MSI

[t-max]

what sort of water cooling do you have....Congrats....that is certainly a very very nice chip

Swiftech STORM cpu head 2 x gtx in the loop and a trible radi.

3150mhz Spi 32M 23m12,047sek

Very nice. Amazing amount of volts through a CPU cooled with water. IHS removal a little more tempting. :thumbsup:

Hi,

I have just received 60 Opteron 144 CABNE 0540 APMW !
First look, not very good for CABNE : 2.85 GHz @ 1.6V stable with my WC.
However, CABNE are special about RAM setting, I will test later !
Now, I make dispatch and logistic.

[furyfax]

Damn, www.komplett.no had 2 OPTERONS 150's and those were the only OPTERONS s939 available here in norway. I hope these OPTERONS get available soon.
I have a question, is it possible taht the OPT 170 has 2 cores which are same stepping like the FX-57? In other words it's a dualcore FX-57, that would be fun.

PS.
My english sucks..

looks like aggressive speed binning has started to occur

OUch. Looks like the later weeks of 146 suck. If you look on the db the top ones are 0530's and the clocks get lower as they go up in weeks. It's a small sample but weeks/vs clocks there seems to be a direct relation.

Maybe those 0540's will do better.

[gbomb944]

I wonder if amd can test these before they put the pins on? Maybe the good ones get turned in to 940 pins for the most part as they are more serious use. 2.8 is not bad but nothing to write home about either.

That always seems to be the general pattern with new releases. Initial weeks look good then it drops off some. Then everyone waits around until another "good" week comes along. I'm just wondering if dollar for dollar the average Operton will continue to represent better value than its Venice/San Diego counterparts.

Year it can take a ton of v.core with the IHS off and still stay cool, it was like burning under the IHS reaching 60C load at only 1,6 v.core

tok off the IHS and now i can run even 1.75 v.core still keep it under 55 C

And so dangerous.. What if you f**k up? there goes 220$

But shurely I will try it also. Hmm

[sauria]

What's the stat on the "kill rate" from doing this?

[Rufus7]

Black Ice Extrem II is on the way to me. This week i will get some results with the new WC System.

[Vapor]

I'm diggin the first 4 numbers of the serial numbers of the new 0540APMW's

Can't wait for results from them.....and their higher binned counterparts if they exist.

[sauria]

Anyone got ahold of a Opty 180 yet?

[Vapor]

Nope....175s and down have been all that's available thus far.

[perry_78]

Allright, ordered a 0540APMW to be a guinea pig - now to get some ram

[gbomb944]

well the monarch 146 is 0536gpmw. Too bad I don't have a board.

[computersmsa]

Wich bios and setting do you council me for a CABNE (0540 APMW) and 2*512 Mb of UTT BH-5 (CMSAM) ?

Thx

[perry_78]

I'd say 510-2, which gave me the best results running both Winchester, Venice and SD. Used both TCCD and old BH5, though I have yet to play with an opteron.

*wink, low batch number computersmsa

Holy $h*T your chip is leet! Look at the first four numbers. 1337
