Opteron 154

?? you mean crossfire?

BOTH, it seems...

[OPPAINTER]

What if it's just the Expert mobo that is not makeing it have a cold bug?
You never know
I'm gunna try my cold bugged FX-57 on this board today and answer that question for myself

OPP

So much for that theory

My FX-57 froze up in no time. I guess the Expert isn't the miracle cure for the cold bug
O'well.

If we only knew what EXACTLY is the cold bug (why and what really happens from very technical point of view) then I think some bright engineer could have been able to fix it. I think it was hoped (I remember Tony really did) that adjusting Drive Strenghts could fix the problem. Therefore with such a plethora of those options in BIOS, up to 15, it would help (It certainly did NOT help on other mobos). I guess, and I really thought that from the beginning, the theory does not meet with practice in this case...

Oh well, it was worth a shot

Nice work there OPP! Cant wait for some higher benchies. What was the vcore?? BTW, does anyone know what the fastest NON-FX amd chip was/is (overclocked)?

I believe its PC Ice's 3800+ Venice taht hit over 3800mhz. Not sure though but I think thats it.

[Onepagebook]

set drinving /data strength as 1/1 if Tony's theory is correct to help a bit.

but as far as i remember tony said that the colder your temps get the lower you have to set the driving strength values. so 15 would be exactly in the wrong direction.

2.6ghz

Seems the laws of ThermalDynamics is causing the memory controller to fail, aka, cold bug. What area on the core is the memory controller located?

[OPPAINTER]

Almost have the Opty 154 stable at 3800MHz.

But not today




On the other hand 3780 looks good.



3D is with a stock X800 card, 500/500

That was my Venice that Pcice did it with

Damn! That is some Opteron Is that still on DFI NF4 Expert? That must be also 1st time I see you doing SPi...
1M is a good start but it gets better at 32M, just like with wine

Quite a nice come back, Eric Now, where are those 1800xt and 7800gtx 512MB, right?

[Cpt Twitchy]

Well taht Is one nice chip You are the man when it come sto CPU's

[Dumo]

OPP

Thats FX57 Nice chip you got there OPP

[Cpt Twitchy]

Stellar chip ya got there I like how you SS is only 20mhz higher then bench stable. Thats some true oc'ing talent

[Zeus]

Woohooo, Opp is into SuperPi!!

Show us some records for SuperPi Opp, that chip doesn't suffer from the cold it seems, did you work out wheter it's the chip or the mobo already?

[Kunaak]

can you do a bandwidth shot from sisoft sandra, at your highest speed?

I'd love to see that.

The 3800MHz screen shot isn't a max screeny, who knows how high just a screeny could be. The 3800MHz was just the speed I was running trying to make stable.
I need some Graphic cards now.

Kunaak
Damn, I forgot to even install Sandra, a mem bench would have been interesting.

OPP

[eR1k]

Very impressive results so far OPP !

True... I remember OPB's 10k in Sandra membench

[LowRun]

Damn, OPP you have the Midas touch, if i would leave in your area, i would bring you every CPU i buy just for you to touch it before i install it

[da-key]

Thats a nice OC.

[B5I8]

Hey OPP, can you post your RAM timings for the Expert board with UTT memory? I can't seem to get my setup OC'ed.

no it was ricky and pedro i think 4+ghz i dunno use the search button lol opp, good chip let us know if you've made more progress
