Opty 165 CCBBE 0617

[likewhoa]

I can't seem to get a good mount w/ my waterblock after removing the IHS on the Opteron.

go to Rite Aid or CVS or just any drugs store convinience store and purchase some putty like this..



then roll a long piece that will go around your proc as that stuff you cut off when you took the IHS off so it looks like this



but with a thinner piece about about 3 quarters the height of the IHS you turned into a keychain or something else
this stuff will hold on tight and give you enough bounce so that you don't crush the core and get a good solid mount.
P.S I didn't even need to use the superGlue as the putty stuff sticks very well and grips the HS tight.

here is my lastest overclock

Amazing, youre on water right?

You want to consider putting this beast on the XS DC team?

I will when I'm done looking for my sweet spot
putting it under a TEC block soon.

Hi guys,

I'm new on this forum so this is my first post (duh).
Just finished removing the IHS from my 165 CCBBE 0617FPMW. It's easy to do but omg what was I shaking...
Some pictures:

The shim u see in picture 2, 3 and 4 is one of a X800. Fits perfectly. The shim is glue'ed in each corner with Super Glue.

Some results:


I'm currently running Orthos with 334 x 9 @ 1.425V + 110%. The temperatures don't go above 53°C

you should stay between 40-45 on load, maybe try a remount as I was only getting load temps of 43C at 334x9 on my opty, my ambient temp was 30C.
p.s setup your sig. and what divider is your memory on?

Ok, I'll do a remount today. Where those temps with ITE or Coretemp?
I'm using a 133 Divider because my ram really sucks I can't figure out good settings for this ram.
Yesterday I was testing 334 x 9 @ 1.425V + 110% but Core_1 failed after one hour. So I added a bit more juice 1.450 + 110% but the same core failed after 1 hour and 48 minutes. Haven't tried more..
I think there is a problem with the high HTT and divider or something, because I can run Orthos for 6 hours (prolly more) on 312 x 9 @ 1.35V and also on a 133 Divider

Edit//
LDT voltage = 1.3V
Chipset voltage = 1.6V
DRAM voltage = 2.7V

That's alot of thermal paste.

That's alot of thermal paste.

Yesterday I did a remount with a bit less thermal paste. Temps dropped about 1C.
Maybe I need to put more pressure on the core.

I'm currently testing 325x9 @ 1.375V + 104% (1.392 ~ 1.408V in CPU-Z) Temps are 38C in Smartguardian and Core 1 & 2 are 44C & 40C in CoreTemp beta.

lol I didn't even look at the pics to notice that, damn that is alot and why the hell did you spread it all out WoutZoR? tip* just use a tap in the center, about the size of a long grain of rice, spreading it out works best with ceramique. p.s I used MBM5 to monitor temps.

I feel like such a noob right now.. . I only followed the instructions from Arctic Silver shown here: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_s...structions.htm
The instructions tell me that only a small drop of AS5 has to be placed on the center of the Heatspreader/ihs and that you have to spread the termal compound when apply'ing on bare core/die. When I did a remount yesterday I apply'ed much less then I did on the first attempt. (I'll remove the picture before I get more complaints )

Hey Guys,

I am a long time reader but first time posting here

I have been following this thread and been reading about the people with opterons 165 ccbee 0617FPMW. I have the exact same stepping and I can get to 2.72 on stock volts. But after that I have to start cranking the volts in order to get dual prime stable and 2.8 is only stable with 1.5V. After that upping the voltage seems to have no affect. I can prime for a few hours on 1.55v and 2840 but anything above that and prime95 fails instantly. I am using a lapped thermaltake tower 112 and my temperatures never go above 45 at 1.55V.

It is really frustrating to see that I have the best stepping yet I can't go past 2.8. On a side note I am game and benchmark stable all the way up to 2.95 but that needs 1.6V. However since it cant pass prime it doesnt really count. (It is Core 0 that always fails...Core 1 is much more solid as is the case with mant dual core procs). My G-Skill DDR500 RAM or DFI-nf4 Infinity motherboard are not the problem....both are running well below stock speeds.

Am I correct in thinking that water cooling will NOT be of any help since my current load temperatures are around 40 at 1.5V and other people are easily getting over 2.9 with ~1.5 and air?
