At the moment I have OCZ PC3200, the new BH-5 stuff, so I want to know if it's worth selling them and getting the TCCD... or if it will make no difference in performance in which case i'll pass.

Just keep the OCZ. A bird in the hand is better then maybe he might sell them.

Just some cheap UTT at crappy timings and not tweaked.

You were right, it is better then your 148.

Maybe I should pull mine from Ebay that is the same chip that I'm selling.

**fullup3** · 11-06-2005, 03:55 PM

Very nice chip Gundamit. That is a keeper for sure!

**ixtapalapaquetl** · 11-07-2005, 02:56 AM

Had another go at 3GHz, got beat back down to 2.97GHz. Will leave it here till I can lap the Venice core indentations out of my HS.

Memory still loose:

Im not sorry bumping this screen shot,

this has to be the best Opty ive seen so far, so much so tht im willing to sell my CABNE0530APMW (3.0Ghz prime95 stable over 9hrs) in search for a gem like this. Just waitin for my favourite retailer to get more stock in, (says he getting loads of Opty 146's on the 9th!) Ive already asked for them to look out for specific steppings for me.

In the process of deciding which are the most fail safe to look out for between

146 CABYE 0540 FPBW

146 CABYE 0540 FPAW

146 CABYE 0540 FMBW

**TEDY** · 11-07-2005, 04:01 AM

146 CABYE 0540 FPBW

146 CABYE 0540 FPAW

146 CABYE 0540 FMBW

where can you get them ? i think 1st

are those steppings your retailer will get or just your humble wishes ?

**gundamit** · 11-07-2005, 04:27 AM

A little faster and a lot tighter ...

This is a good CPU.

In a masters hands with better cooling, IHS off and some super ram who knows what it could do? Instead it'll be pressed into service with my weak 7800GTs for 3-D benchies.

**TEDY** · 11-07-2005, 04:38 AM

grrrr god dam it = gundamit gimme

You dont have cold bug ?

What is your best cpuz ss ?

I thought the cold bug was only at -60c or better. I just have a vanilla Prommie Mach II that has seen better days.

I don't know.

With my cooling and the IHS on, I'm not sure what the point would be in finding out. Maybe if I got a mousepot I'd give it a try.

They are my humble wishes

, but seriously I will find out the steppings as soon as my firend has them in stock. I somehow have the feeling tht he will have some other unknown steppings

A little more tune up and you will be tearing after that #1 spot for
sli 7800gts. Think it will give just a little more to hit 3.6? That would be great for benchable single phase. Keep going with it, you adding value to its sister.

You need some killer ram to bring those times down.

Thats not going to happen without some crazy cooling scheme ... and maybe another pair of GTs.

Temps are becoming an issue, so while I might be able to do a suicide screenie at that speed, 1M stable seems to have ended up at 3.53ghz.

The one you're Ebaying? I'm not helping much apparently, $163 would put me in the top spot to buy it less than 2 days from now. Hopefully you get a decent price. I might end up throwing mine in the For Sale section to help my 7800GTX 512mb fund I've started.

Edit: Whoops. I guess some other guys had some pre-set bids that were set off when I bid on your CPU. Its a little higher now.

Dang! You have a link to my screenshot in your Ebay auction. I should put a discalimer in there so they know my CPU has special mojo ... and a Prommie.

Opteron 144 CABNE 0540 BPWM

Is that a good overclocking Opteron?

**T_M** · 11-07-2005, 06:22 AM

CABYE 0540FPAW

i find the cabne 0540's average just like the cabge, struggle ounce at 2.7ghz.
the cab2e also seem abit hit or miss but would say itll clock better than cabne 0540 or cabge.

the 146 cabye 0540gpbw seems to being the best atm and im lucky enough to have one

**The_one** · 11-07-2005, 06:31 AM

Its ok i already have a 144 CAB2E which does 315x9 just wondered if the CABNE would go higher.

Guess i'll stick with my CAB2E then

**Wiker** · 11-07-2005, 07:03 AM

**ChRiiLLe** · 11-07-2005, 07:17 AM

Which one of those one should i chose?
Both Opteron 144: "cabye 0536 gpmw" or "cabne 0540 bpmw"

**eR1k** · 11-07-2005, 08:12 AM

cabye 0536 gpmw is the best choice imo.
