Opteron 146 with 11x multiplier............w00t got a free upgrade!!!!

[dinos22]

IHS is off.....and it has great load temps.........i was priming at 3GHz 1.42v and temps were at 31-32C load before it crapped out hehehe....straight reboot

Don't forget it's summer in Sydney so this was not much over ambient temps

SPI LOAD TEMPS.....



doing some testing on air ........will be going under phase soon!!!!

28C on air? Wow howd you do that lol

[dinos22]

IHS off......20C ambient

[shuRe]

what a score, it just boot up with 11x enabled? Or some random crash do it?

i know

i actually bought it of a forum member at OCAU......he is a stunned mullet.....can't believe his eyes......so whatever happened on the way from Melbourne to Sydney and then when i got it cracking....it just gave me the extra option heheheheh

this will come in handy for phase for sure

[Dynasty]

nice little bonus you have there.

Whats the cpu stepping info, if possible ?

[Absolute_0]

you make me want to remove my IHS, damn thing is loading at 52C with 1.50 volts and ACFreezer64 pro lapped

[dinos22]

here is what the previous owner had to say

omfg, no way. I checked there a thousand times & it was locked @ x10 max. Nice score dude! Got urself a rare one.

ROFL





Dynasty.......................here is the current setup for this benching rig
Test Setup:
* Opteron 146 S939 CABYE 0540FPBW
* TT Sonic Tower + 120mm Panaflo
* C-BuZz's Custom Made Single Stage Rotary Phase Change
* 2*512MB G.Skill PC4800FF TCCD RAM
* DFI NF4 Ultra-D (6-23 bios)
* 60GB IDE Maxtor HDD
* Antec 480W True Power 20-pin with 24-pin converter
* Matrox PCI Video Card







maybe i should stick it in my Expert mobo and see what happens hehehehe

[dinos22]

do it hehehehehe

man i cranked it hard with the TT Sonic tower and the Panaflo is running full speed......but there's nothing that some ear muffs cannot fix right

[Absolute_0]

lol

problem is i'm not sure about my ACF64 pro mounting on a naked core, someone said they had done it, but it mounts onto stock retention bracket, pull-over method : /.

Great temps by the way, especially for air!

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

Haha - another 148 mutant................... - I have the certain feeling those guys at AMD production line sometimes drink too much...............

i probably wouldn't do it if that's the case

sonic tower has an easy mounting system and required the back plate only.........i am running it horizontally as well and have neoprene cut offs on every corner of the CPU to make sure the pressure is even on the core (I HOPE )

[s7e9h3n]

So this cpu came like this from the seller, or did it happen after you crashed on 8m? I've got the IHS off the 154 now and am gonna throw it back under the auto.....maybe I need to run 8m @ a speed that I KNOW it'll crash at so I can get the x15 multi - that would come in real handy with this cpu

[GoThr3k]

your read my mind

Tryout the eXpert and see what you been missing.

If this is the case maybe we will see some CABCE with 148,150 & 154's.

the seller only had 10x multiplier.....i know him. He's a friend of mine

i didn't crash on 8M and the unlocking didn't happen after any crashing (or it could have on windows install crash)


ok here is what happened from the moment i got it...........................don't know if it will be any useful but here goes

bit of background..................this CPU spent most of its life under phase and in grease.....hence it was still on mobo and CPU....if you take a close look at my shot you will notice the black neoprene tape thingie there......

anywys so this CPU was transported in the CPU stocket to me via courier

when i got it all out.......i pulled out some clear nail polish and applied it on all the chips around the core....slapped some AS5 on, cut out 4x triangular pieces of the thin neoprene stuff and left it on the edges of the CPU and cranked the TT Sonic tower hard

NOW...........on the first boot...........i got 3xlights........jumped on google and dfi-street link mentioned that it is a RAM related issue so i pulled out the sticks from orange slots and left 1xstick of PC4800FF RAM in the yellow slot furthest away from CPU

BOOTED UP after that............i shut it down and slapped the other stick ....BOOTED UP OK again......went to bios.....loaded optimised defaults...........rebooted into bios....all OK......

went to load windows.......it crashed on me almost at the end of install......(bluescreened)............i pulled out the second stick of RAM and the installed finished after that reboot

once windows was installed i decided i'd give it a bit of a crack b4 i go to bed..................yeap went to change all the settings.....set the RAM to 250MHz and did the RAM timings and the rest.....went to change the multi and it kept going past 10x multi...........i thought it was strange and of course left it on 11x..........went to memtest and lol it was working......FARK ME DEAD ............went to windows and it was a real deal

[dinos22]

Tryout the eXpert and see what you been missing.

Expert mobo is folding with my dual core.......i hate shutting down because point production at i4memory.com drops heheheh

[s7e9h3n]

Thx for the detailed explanation.....BTW, you're running your 4800's in the yellow slots now? or did you switch back.....

[dinos22]

Thx for the detailed explanation.....BTW, you're running your 4800's in the yellow slots now? or did you switch back.....

it sucked balls in yellow slots

i don't know if i mentioned above but i thought i'd try orange slots again and slapped them in.....only to boot up and run OK.....memory goes a lot higher now but i still have some tweaking to do.....i'll do some stock runs on RAM and add some air over those sticks tonight

it was memtesting OK at PC4800 2.5-4-4-8 1T and 2.5-4-3-7 1T but spat out errors at 2.5-3-3-6 1T.......pretty sure this RAM was benchable past 300MHz with 2.5-3-3-6 1T

Hehe - caused by the way U are askin' here I can't fight the feeling U plan to do a "private transformation production line"...............

[s7e9h3n]

Hell, if it would unlock this godly 154, I'd put on a tutu and dance around like a ballerina

i think we all would like them to have a big long drinking week nobody stops till there in the hospital

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

Oh - don't hope so. What'll U do suddenly recognizing Your 146 has locked a multi of 5 ???

[Mr_Slinky]

yeah but then is when you break out the SS of the chip and send it back to amd and say now i want one that works like its supposed to or demand a low batch #

but that is a really great chip there dinos22

[C-BuZz]

luckey sob

why cant these things happen to me...
