Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[QuietIce]

I was thinking more along the lines of the top row. I believe 4th letter from the right is the case temperature ...

[Smiffy]

Hi
They both the same,OSA165DAA6CD
same as all my 165s.Ta for the help

Had to ask - thanks for getting back on it! You may be right, AMD could have been playing with chips by that point. Yours is certainly unique ...!

[MasterOfTheReal]

Picked up a 165 0551UPMW the other day for a good price.
Was running at 2.9 on a Xp120 before so could be a diamond in the rough.
On a related note is CH-5 ram any good in a SLi-DR or should i bank on some TCCD?

[QuietIce]

Nice clock for an old chip like that. Few '05s could crank it that high on air but that "U" code is different - maybe that's the trick! The 0550 U's had some beauties (and some real losers )!


BH-5 is good - don't know about CH-5 ...

UTT-CH5 is very good, should see you to about 255fsb-260fsb at 2-2-2-5. As long as you are prepared to put 3.4Vdimm through them. I used to run OCZ Platinum Elites (PC4800), which are TCCD. They ran at 2.5-4-3-6 at 300fsb, and 2.5-4-4-8 at 310fsb.

Isn't ch5 the Infinion staff that was used on the Mushkin redlines (not the 3.2v
ones)
Still have the dfi nf4 expert and the timings/settings are completly different
for TCCD and BH5/CH5. You could probably get a BIOS that's optimised
for one or the other.

I'm so glad to see some people still care. I run an Opteron 185@2880mhz on a DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert. Unfortunately my enormous air cooler is covering mem slot 4 so I have to use the dreaded yellows. I can no longer run my Mushkin DDR500 at their rated speed on a 250mhz HT. I used to run at 3001mhz (250x12@1.425vcore) 24/7 stable before my peltier burnt. Jeez I don't even know my stepping anymore either so I can't compare.

Its just good to see guys still running the old Opterons. Keep it up guys.

[QuietIce]

Nice clocks ...!

[techtrancer]

my CFX 3200 DR/G is demaged :-(

so i must finishes to clock 939 dualcore cpu's and now i clock AM2 dualcores

[MasterOfTheReal]

Still dedicated to the 939 cause here I gotta say, its one of the most fun bang for buck overclocking platforms out there still due to the prices you can get 2nd hand gear at.

I'm looking at a few Opteron 170's right now and was wondering how good the CCBBE 0615DPMW stepping would be? It's not in that first post...atleast I can't see it.

Also, were the Opteron 180's CCB1E 0609FPAW stepping reaching 3.0ghz easily? Or is that just 160/170?

Thanks!

Not the best ones...

Here is 0615 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...archid=6887274

If i remember right 0609 was not so good also.

try to find 1. 0613, 2. 0617,3. 0610

Typically if a 165/170 can hit a speed then the 180's can also hit it; it's the production number that matters, not the rating.

As for the 0615's, IIRC they are hit and miss - some very good, others just average ...

0609's are often quite good, too. 0608 as well. However, I think 0608's are only Opty 165 (MAYBE 170, but not sure). A 0609 chip could be either a 165 or a 170, or 180. 0613 are ONLY 175 and 185, 0610 165 and 170 (MAYBE 175, but not sure about that either). 0617 = 165/170/175.

0704XPMW's are also great, 0722RP(A/B)W as well. I have a feeling that some of the LCB9E/LCBQE steppings could be great without me knowing about it, btw.

i miss overclocking my opteron 165 CCBBE 0610DPMW i sold it for $50, half a bag of cheeto's and a mountain dew about a month ago

did 2.9ghz easily however i could never get the HTT above 330mhz. (was using an SLI-DR)

still have an X2 3800, FX60 and an Asus A8N32 SLI-Deluxe. im gonna have to dig all of that up sometime.

master, i got that mobo in ur avy

If you ever decide to sell the board let me know - they're my favorite! I've got five of them running ATM and another in a box to be commissioned as soon as I figure out the bookshelf WC loop ...

i most definitely will keep you in mind if i decide to sell that motherboard its still an awesome board even for todays standards.

Hi All

Anyone got any clues how I get the 120MHz and 133Mhz dividers running with an opty 165 on a dfi Expert.
They are no go on 3 165s in 3 Experts which means the mem is running on a 100Mhz divider resulting in
166Mhz for the memory with HTT at 333MHz.
Any help greatly appreciated.Have fiddled with MAL and RPT but no joy.

Smiffy

[Smiffy]

Hi
Have tried some single sided Crucial 3200 sticks and seems better on 120Mhz divider.
Smiffy
Also better on 133 so maybe fussy with the Twinmos or double sided sticks.

[Phenomenalspeed]

Just picked up a 1210 Opty for 80 plus Cdn,so far so good
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=348863

I don't how you managed this.
I have an Opteron 1210 of the same revision.
I failed to get even 2100Mhz with mine.
Maybe my AM2 motherboard was holding it back.
I will try it in my DQ6 when I get it back.

Hehe still the best board DFI ever made IMO. Got 2 of em here, one with a 4000 in it and looking for a good chip for the other =)
