0546 for the win

[NeezyDeezy]

my opteron 165

2704mzh at STOCK voltage
2835 at 1.5V (using this 24/7)

both of these pass 8 hour dual prime + multiple torrents running at the same time

specs in sig

The feeling of satisfaction from knowing I am exceeding stock FX65 speeds... is hard to describe.



(more screenies to come)

[GoThr3k]

ihs still on??

[Deus Falsus]

where'd u get it from?

[irev210]

haha, yes... where did you get it from

[NeezyDeezy]

IHS is on and it's definitely staying that way

I got it from Monarch 2 weeks ago during the 1 day sale for $299 OEM. Someone on anandtech reported receiving the same chip as mine today from monarch. Performance/$ is unbeatable. Hell, for running on air just the performance is near unbeatable at 24/7 stability.

Thats encouraging for me since I got the same processor from Monarch. What kind of cooling are you using. I'm planning on an SI-120 with a Silverstone FM121 fan.

[Fr3ak]

wow sounds very promising.
Might get one when they are a little cheaper.
Sooner or later you need a dualcore cpu anyway

[Delirious]

Nice 165, I got mine the same time as you from monarch.
Interesting that it does 2.7 at stock voltage but needs 1.5 for 2.8.

Sadly the first core on my 165 isnt so great.
2.7 1.45 both 8+ hour prime stable both cores
2.8 1.45 first core craps out of prime second core is fine
2.8 1.5 first core craps out of prime second core is fine
2.8 1.55 first core craps out of prime second core is fine

i guess ill have to settle for 2.7 1.45 for daily use.

[GoThr3k]

which isnt that bad

I got the same 165 Stepping from Monarch, but I got it for 315

Haven't had time to OC yet. Btw what program do u guys use to stress test the dualies? and where do u get the program?

That's exactly what I am looking for! Thanks

[Vincentvega18]

Wow, nice dual core. Rest assured that you will be ahead of the game for decades to come...............in the intel world

[Deus Falsus]

I suppose this is the cpu, for $280 at 2.8ghz per core, it ain't that bad.

Things are really getting better everyday with these opterons.
Opteron Rocks!

[fhpchris]

Good Job!

[ri3eboi]

My 165 is core 1 is doing 290x9@2610 at stock voltage (MBM5 read 1.30 vcore, BIOS read 1.32vcore) "what is the stock vcore on these opterons??), core 2 craps out 5 mins in prime.

Not that satisfied, was hoping for 2.7 at stock voltage for 24/7 use.

Will update once I play a bit more

Btw what is a good vcore for 24/7 use? I am hoping to use this system for 2 years.

*Updated sig to reflect most current system spec.

i have an opty 170 that is 0546 xpmw ... im pretty sure .. i hope i could do 2.7-2.8 on stock vcore .. should have it tomorrow

[lazerman]

Those are some nice clocks for so late in the game (stepping wise).

I have my 0546SPMW sitting on my desk just begging to be overclocked.... I got some DDR600 RAM so hopefully 2.7ghz (300x9) on stock voltage is very possible! I am lapping my Thermaltake Big Typhoon right now, and it's getting a beefier fan!

[OpTiX]

i got a 0546 144 today gonna see how high i hit right now
