1.488v@3050mhz VPMW

**cjoe** · 03-25-2006, 06:14 PM

865pe: You got amazing temps for 3050. Are you topless?

I'm afraid to ask what your idle temps are like.

WOW, just WOW

Upgraded my water cooling, the chip from ben is now 39C full load @ 1.4v instead of 48+!

Just incredible. Not yet tested for further stability.

**mad mikee** · 03-25-2006, 06:30 PM

Now get that chip up here w/ the rest of the 3 Ghz, we need that crunching power

Vcore maybe up to .05 or more that you think, might explain high load temp. Both of mine (170 VPMW) are 40c or less @ 3.05 Ghz, pair of GBHZ running rosetta )

(But yes, still great CPU

)

This is a great CPU so far. Idles kinda hot @ 34C and Loads @ 47C.

Hopefully, burn-in will bring that down.

**CompGeek** · 03-25-2006, 07:10 PM

2960 priming, 1.45v

**Absolute_0** · 03-25-2006, 07:26 PM

pictures speak better than works

**CompGeek** · 03-25-2006, 07:30 PM

Well, im in windows @ 3000/1.5. If prime stable will post the pics. Didnt want to bother before 3000

**CompGeek** · 03-25-2006, 08:18 PM

40 minutes of prime so far

**LiQU!D** · 03-25-2006, 09:43 PM

You guys made me jealous, so I dropped the volterage to 1.49V from 1.51V and it passed Super Pi 32M Twin Run.

**SNIPoR** · 03-25-2006, 10:37 PM

hi guys.

i wanna buy the OPteron 165 but the thing that makes me worry is the opteron 165 like the High FSB 1:1 with tight rams 2-2-2-5 ( BH5-UTT)

Until now all isee is ppl doing HIgh CPU but ram @ 200 @ 2-2-2-5 OR high FSB like 250 1:1 @ 2.5-3-3-8.

i want to confirm this

thanx for the help

**cjoe** · 03-26-2006, 12:08 AM

Thanks for the tip Grinch.

Picked up one of these babies at Ace hardware $1.29.

You don't need 1:1. Its okay to use a divider with A64 chips (Opterons). Most people are running very high HTT with dividers becuase the performance of 1:1 vs divider is not that great.

i know its ok to use 5:4 divider .... but thats not what i need to know..

all i need to Confirm is ok to run 250 Fsb @2-2-2-5-7 with the Opteron 165?? like lets say 9x250 fsb @ 2-2-2-5

iam worred about the Opterons may not work perfectly with Tights rams like BH5/UTT Ram (2-2-2-5) @ 250 FSB

With this stepping don't loose your time....try 2.8 @ stock voltage first

Congrats on getting that chip to over 3.0Ghz, keep cranking and let us know how high you can get it up to, I hope you like that 0550UPMW....as I told ya that chip kicks ass!!

your guess is very close....I'm preparing for the Conroe

I had already got rid of all my spare dual cores and s939 motherboards, the Asus A8N32 and AD0 are gone too, for now I'm using my last chip Opty 148 on the Venus till the Conroe hit the street

Hehe, I wanted that AD0. Did it go to ebay?

**ben805** · 03-26-2006, 03:13 PM

not on ebay, the AD0 went to another forum member here, it was a very nice board...with swiftech BGA ram sinks on all the hotspot, I'd only used it couple times.

**CompGeek** · 03-26-2006, 06:12 PM

Yea, thanks ben

I can do Super PI 1M @ 3072mhz with the same voltage, then 3080 @ 1.55v, but I cant get over that at 1.575. Kinda wierd.

**FireDragon** · 03-26-2006, 06:27 PM

hmm that is great work guys 2.8 at 1.42...on air here modded xp-90...need to get my water cooling finished up...

Not yet. Its my last resort if my CCB1E 0550 VPMW doesn't cool down in a week. I was very worried yesterday but idle temps have dropped 4C today.
