The Official Opteron 939 Overclocking Thread

My OPTY 144 , DFI NF4LP-UD,Corsair 512x2 XLPT

dunno my crap luck again gets 146 cab2e 0604 cpaw only got 2.7ghz @ 1.45v like 50+c at load. Ethier that or its im running a crap amd cooler which i sort of washed the paste off using water and im using some generic paste which i dont think i applied properly

[oasked]

What kind of temperatures do you guys get with your Opterons?

I just managed to salvage a "broken" Opteron 165 off eBay (I had to bend a lot of pins back though ). I'm cooling it with a Thermalright XP-120, but even at stock it goes up to 50°C at load. At 2.6Ghz (stock volts) it goes up to 60°C.

Any ideas?

whats the stepping?

[PyroFire]

mine at 42ish semi load up to 45 if the fans are at full speed, depends on fans since i use a fan controller A LOT, its an opty 146 cab2e 0604 cpaw @ 2.95ghz 1.55v, almost got it stable at 3ghz 1.630v, trying tomorrow for 3ghz at 1.65v if i cant get that to run aquamark stably im calling it quits at 2.95 REALLY wanted 3ghz

I have no idea, I was too excited to note it down when I put the chip in.

The CPU seems stable at 2.6Ghz (testing with Orthos now at stock volts), but the temperatures are just ridiculous - up to 64°C load.

Opteron 185 responds to cold as in chilled water loop.
I may D.I. soon.

^ Wow that's crazy.

Update on my Opteron 165, now 52°C load, at 2.6GHz. Still at stock volts, but this time the layer of AS Ceramique is a little thinner.

Opty 146 CAB2E 0602 ~ This is my 100% stable 24/7 speed. runs at 37* Load under water. Great little chip..

The 1000Mhz OC has also nocked 18s of my SuperPi!

[crunchie]

Thought I would give mine a little run. Zalman 9500. Load temps were low 50C's with a 20C ambient.

[pcaddict]

I thought amd cpu's are very bad for overclocking..

Hmm, thread resurrection. Notice the date of the first post and the thread title? This is with old s939 AMD chips, which kicked the pants off of Intel chips back in the day. Not modern sAM2 Opteron chips

The Opteron AM2's aren't too bad - but they're hard to find (at reasonable prices). I have an F3 1218 here, maybe I'll give it a shot once I'm done benching all my s754 stuff

lol, I saw this thread and didn't know it was dead for 2 years and thought "there is an active socket 939 club on XS still?!?"

My opty 180 is still powering one of my comps, very reliable!

[Aphex_Tom_9]

I posted about my opteron 5 years ago in this thread...seems like a long time ago.
found this shot on my old hard drive from 2006, this is as fast as i ran it day-to-day, i could go to 3.5 but it wasn't stable.
loved that system. and yes it did kick the pants off intel back then.
today it runs at stock in a family computer.

Cooling? Very nice chip if that's water. What was the most you got out of it? Cold bug?

[Aphex_Tom_9]

it was under mach II phase, i have a screenshot of 3504mhz somewhere...didn't seem to have a cold-bug.

[[XC] Oj101]

Very nice
