Opteron 180 LCB9E 0704XPMW

259x12=3108mhz w/ 1.4v ORTHOS priority 10 stable (4hrs+)
aircooled with TTBT: 31 idle 45 load (asus probe)

testing continues... i really like this chip, feels really smooth

[Electroid]

Nice chip you got there biohead .


My current cpu:
Opteron 175
LCB9E 0652 WPMW
HS lapped

Cooling:
CoolerMaster Gemini II + 2 x 120x38mm fans

Orthos Stable:
2955MHz
1h test, 1.475V
2h test, 1.5v

3GHz isn't stable at all. I have tryed 1.475V - 1.525V
I think Gemini needs some lapping...

[AgentGOD]

My optie:
Opteron 165 - LCB9E TPMW (had XPMW too) - 2.6 GHz to ~2.76 GHz @ 1.35v, 2.8 GHz @ 1.375v

Cooling: ThermalRight XP-90 w/ Panaflo 92mm @ ~3100 RPM, 56 cFm

Temps - MBM & EVEREST (Dual-prime small FFTs):
Idle: ~31 C
Load: ~54 C

Opteron 180 LCB9E 0704XPMW

3300mhz (275x12)

Orthos still running, 2hrs past now...

It's very coldbugged. Will make some copper pads to put between evap and IHS, hope that'll get the temps up.

oh, and need more volts

What are your opinions on Opteron 165 and the 170 on OC ability? I'm looking to replace my X2 using an A8N32-SLI with a 2GB G.Skill DDR 500 set. I'm guessing the board and ram should have no problem hitting between 300 and 320 HTT if I'm using a 165. I'm on a bit of a tight budget so I'd rather save and get a 165. If I'm hoping to try and hit 2.8ghz and 2.7 minimum then which one lately would give me the better odds? I'll probably get either one from Newegg so I won't be able to choose what I get.

it mainly comes down to what stepping you get and there aren't any higher odds with that when getting a 170. so just go for the 165, best bang for the buck i'd say.

s939 chip produced in 07' ? Wow, most likely AMD techies broken one pin from Windsor and marked it as Opteron 180

haha no sh't, I was surprised myself. I think the whole opteron line has got a 07xx spin though, and I don't expect AMD to stop. Heh, these newer chips clock unbelievable (relatively speaking), so they better not!!

I got unlucky with my 0704TPMW 165, it only got 2.6@1.35. But ~3050@1.35 is amazing Nice one man!

[gsan]

LCB9E is nice stepping, regardless the week you got.

I went ahead and got a 165. I ended up with LCBQE 0711SPAW . Anyone have any experience with that? I won't be able to try it out until next week and I haven't seen much of anything about LCBQE.

[Repoman]

^Post results, I've never seen an LCBQE.

Just popped in a naked 165 CCBBE 0615 under my Ultra-120 - 2898 with 1.375 is very stable I am running with 2906 right now under the same voltage.. I'll play some games now and prime it later.

3GHz with 1.475 should be doable. I finally found a chip that is almost as good or as good as my CCB1E 0608 that I stupidly sold (3GHz@1.425, 2925@stock). That one had those results under water with liquid metal thermal paste though - this is under air in a closed case with a hot 8800GTX sitting a centimeter away Both naked chips

woow... just oc it and post your result here.

180 LCB9E 0704XPMW, phase change

Got it to run 3dmark06 at 3.45ghz, I went to get something to eat and when I came back, it showed the results but the system was frozen. So it could be anything really, the CPU obviously hung in there while running 3D.

Ordered an HR-05 and HR-09S to be sure it's not the NorthBridge or PWM. Does the NB need a voltage increase at higher cpu frequencies? I've always ran it at 1.30v..

[QuietIce]

It's not so much the NB needs more voltage for a higher CPU speed but it usually needs more volts for a higher clock speed. In your case you're only running, what - 287? - that shouldn't be enough to require more voltage. The A8N32-SLI starts needing more NB volts ~300 or so ...

[david901101]

Seems that my Opteron 165 broke, maybe it was pure luck since I got a CCBBE 0615MPMW that only made 2,6 GHz regardless of volts

So what can I expect from the RMA? It can't possibly be a worse one, can it?

Since my motherboard doesn't like HTT-speeds over 297 MHz, should I go for a 170 instead?

[neoman]

Nope you cant get any worse CPU than that one u had.

[knopflerbruce]

Got this one a week ago:

Will test more when my exams are over

Phase/dice on that one...

Nice chip!

Same stepping as the one in your sig?

How far did you get on stock voltage (without exotic cooling)?

Damn, now I regret I sold my 180. Doubt it could do 3.5Ghz anyway, but with phase and lots of voltage maybe 3.3 or so.

Are the B9's coldbugged btw?

yes it's the chip in my sig. mine's heavily coldbugged but it kinda takes care of that himself with the heat it puts out while running WCG (I always have WCG running in the background, meaning every cycle gets used).

With the phase this chip does 3250mhz with 1.4v
on air it did 3100-3150mhz 1.4v.

I probably need 1.6v for a more stable, maybe even orthos stable 3500mhz.

That's amazing!!! If i'm not mistaken, that is unheard of from an 06' chip, looks like 07's are shining.

update, 3275mhz 1.35v stable

and 3345mhz 1.41v stable...
