Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[knopflerbruce]

Wow! What stepping is that and where did you get it?

Well... She's a 0613RPMW I think I posted a link to a screenshot somewhere. Wasn't a 3g-screenie, but 2.86 @ 1.19v, on my good ol' Zalman 9500

It's too d*mn hot here now so I won't try to push her yet. A friend of mine is waiting for some pots so I will definately try it on dice someday. It's running so hot it should be no problem if I up the voltage a bit.

Got it off ebay a month or two ago, btw. Buy it now for $190.

Amd Opteron 170 LCB9E 0703XPMW
DFI Ultra BIOS Mod 21-05-2007
OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Platinum rev 2 ver 1.0

What cooling are you using? I got the same chip but he is getting to hot to handle at 2.8Ghz with 1.35V
I wonder how he will perform under SS

[iakovl]

i just got my opti 165 CCBWE 0551WPMW (in israel it's very very hard to find dual core 939 this days) with a ninja cooler and
with my DFI RS482 and A-Data Vitesta ddr500 512*2

[catsarecute]

i ve got my 170,anyone have seen this stepping(lcbqe)
i ve google it and i saw nothing...I hope its a good chip!

Nice steal there

I just won a 165 off of ebay, its a CCBBE 0614EPMW. I was wondering if I have to install any drivers or anything for my new CPU. This will be my first duel core cpu. I just want to know if I have to do anything besides pop it in and OC the hell out of it. Thanks.

If you already installed the AMD K8 driver all you basicly will have to do is put swap put the cpu with the old one and install the "dual core optimizer" driver. That's it. I've tried several times to install this so called "hot fix" from microsoft, but had to reinstall XP every time, so I beg you - don't try that

[carholmes]

So I just need to instal the dual core optimizer and thats it. Sounds simple enough. thanks.

That's about it yes You'll find it on the official AMD website

I know this is the wrong thread for this, but I got a 3000+ about two months ago, thought it was a winchester as the seller claimed it to be, so I didn't bother with it any much, but decided a couple of days ago to check it out.... turned out it was a 1.4V Venice instead! Strangely enough the seller had removed IHS, which I glued back on... sounds a bit strange that he claimed it to be a winchester so I really don't think he OC'd it to much... anyways, I now have it on 2.8 GHz... which is 1 GHz over stock... getting a new PSU in the mail in the morning, a more 12V strong PSU than the one I got, so I hope I can squeese even more out of it then

[carholmes]

Nice OC on that venice. The best I could get on my 3200 venice was 2.5. By the way how do you think I could get on the new 165 CCBBE 0614EPMW?
I see that repoman got up to 2.9 @ 1.35 with the exact same stepping. Sweet.

The CCBBE 0615EPMW is known to reach 3ghz... that's produced only a week after yours!! All CCBBE is supposed to be good. Atleast by this list http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=96900

And yeah, I got lucky with the 3000+, especially considering I only paid like 30-40$ for it

EDIT: I almost feel sorry for the man who sold it to me

[carholmes]

Oh wait I did get the 0615. not 0614, guess I hit the wrong key. Now I just got to worry if anyone will buy my 3700. It seems single core cpus are harder to sell. If I cant sell it I'll probably just make it my new keychain.

I don't think it's any harder to sell, it's just a harder buyers market. I mean, that the buyer can be more picky about what to buy, since nobody wants to pay to much. But if you advertise it for what it is. A real overclockable 3700+ that has been run at 3ghz+ I think you will be getting more for it and maybe even getting a sale quicker.

And with the 165 CCBBE 0615EPMW... try and use the list on the link I gave you to see what volts it was run on to get 3 ghz and if it was on air-cooling or water-cooling. Then you'd atleast know somewhat around what you should excpect.

[Trunks]

Does anyone know how terrible the coldbug is on a LCB9E?

[Repoman]

My 0615 doesn't really like anything but stock +/- .025. I can't run 2.4 @ 1.2 (which would bring my ram to the max) and it takes 1.25v for 2655. It does 2.9@stock but won't run 3GHz @ 1.5 :/

[carholmes]

Wow repoman I thought for sure that you could have gotten up to around 3.1 if you could get 2.9 at stock volts. Its still a great OC. I'll be happy if I get up to 2.8. By the way how hot do these chips get? I remember my upgrade from my 3200 venice to my 3700 sandie. The idle temps went up around 10C. If the temp goes up even further on the new 165 then I'll have to get a new air cooler.

Bad idletemp is probably because of a bad IHS. Hottest s939 CPU I ever had was a 4400+ that idled @ 40C. But an IHS removal was all it needed before it was pretty cool.

Yeah, if it scaled like most 939 opties it would have done 3.1@1.55 if I could keep temps down. But, it doesn't scale at all, only likes 1.35v

It gets to about 44C on each core in Core Temp with stock volts. The chip is naked under a Thermalright Ultra-120. With the side panel on, it gets to about 50C, and also will only do 2.87GHz. 30MHz is a good trade-off for really isolating the fan noise - this setup is quieter than my water cooling, both used 4x 120mm Yate Loon's total, but with water 2 were out of the case on the radiator

New 170 LCB9E 0704XPMW came in today, ran too hot at 62/73C for each core in core temp so I cut off the IHS. New results -

nice chip! Is that the oneyou got from newegg recently?

Take it higher, you know this is a great result but running it at 3.15 stable is much better.

[Cheffy]

got a much older LCB9E 0641 APMW.. this thing runs HOTHOTHOT,

stock using koolance 305 block in a 2PC601 it was hitting 70c @2.8ghz @ 1.425v
lapped got it to 68c @ 2.9ghz (1.525v)
de-capped got it to 65c @ 3ghz (1.575v) (water at 35c),
swapped to a TDX+ bong 48c @ 3ghz (1.55v)... (water at 21c)

managed to run a few benchmarks at 3220mhz (1.65v) but seems ram or mobo lets go at about 260mhz (3000 fails 3d, passes prime+memtest @ 1.5v but passes 3d with either 1.55v OR ram at 200 OR ram timings TIGHTENED in windows - same timings cause no-boot if set in bios...) so i cant say how much it would do on a better board...

Is that result with the stock cooling?

[Repoman]

Hehe, I have to find max stable at 1.35v first This is my usual method, and it's treated me well. Both cores are down to 45/45C this morning, and it's passed the first 6 Prime95 tests so far at 3000MHz@1.35v - better than the two it got last night

Is that result with the stock cooling?

No, I think if I had used stock cooling at first it would have burned right up. Core 1 would have gotten close to 90C since it was at 75 with the Ultra-120..
