Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[nYdGeo]

Good day to all! I'm stuck in dual-core AMD-ville at least until the end of the year, so I just got my first Opty (described in sig below). I have only used default voltage for now, at least until the AS5 sets in.

I quick-tested using Systool, and it reached an error at 3831MHz, so I backed off to 2.75GHz, and then ran Orthos for about 3 hours. It was time for a cooling cycle so I stopped, and shut it down at that time. Is 2.75GHz a decent speed for a 170 at 1.33v using liquid cooling?

I'll give it a week at these settings, w/cycling for the AS5, then another week of testing/gaming before trying any voltage. If there is anyone out there with some time and testing of this stepping, please let me know if I have a shot at 3.0GHz, or if maybe this is one of those steppings that doesn't respond to voltage, etc.

Thanks in advance and Good luck to all!

Oh, based on the temps that I'm getting, can you recommend a safe but likely productive max core voltage? Thanx!
