Supercharged Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 need some help here. my chip isnt stable at 305x10 at all. despite raising to vcore to 1.5990 at 1 point. this is frustrating. fails occt and prime95 with 90secs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraxz Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 Most chips just plain can't hit those speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLI-DR User Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Ive just won an Opteron 165 on ebay for 235$AUD and has just arrived, its a CCBBE 0610DPMW and im now dual priming it on my Swiftech watercooling http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/12/1126ef.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
excutioner Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Imjust trying to find out if this stepping is a decent overclocker ?? CCBWE 055 IUPMW thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrc06 Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 0550 VPMW heh from 2.7ghz to 2.8ghz is about a 0.15v jump 1.45v at 2.7 1.6v at 2.8, going to try between 1.55v(it fails) and 1.6v now to see if i can drop it. 3ghz is bootable and superpi-able but only at 1.65v+ and prime insta fails Wow, I'd expect more from a 0550 vpmw. Sure it's not the memory hold you back? Sometimes it's the timings that cause prime to fail instantly. Just a thought.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_w95482 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I just got a 170 from Newegg today, and it's a CCBWE 0546 MPM. I tried Googling that and I didn't get any relative hits so it sounds like an oddball chip. I will install it tomorrow. Hopefully it'll clock well . Edit: I opened the box and it came with the nice 4 heatpipe AMD cooler. I'm thinking about comparing it with my CNPS-7700 for kicks.

n_w95482 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Update on the chip: I popped it in and noticed how cool running it was at stock idle, 32 C in a 28 C room. That's a good sign I suppose . I was also surprised that the stock voltage was 1.31. So far, it's gone from 2.0 to 2.45 with the voltage untouched, and I'm trying to get it to 2.5, but it keeps locking up if I jump there. I guess I have to ease it in a bit. Now my room cooled off a lot so I suppose this is the time to really push it . I'm feeling pretty optimistic about this chip so far. I'm thinking I may be limited by temperatures at this rate though. I don't want to run it at like 55-57 C all the time. I'll try bumping it up to 1.4v and see where that takes me. Edit: It's hitting 53-55 C at only 2.65 GHz and 1.44 volts, and the PWM IC reading is just a degree or so lower. I'm not going any higher unless there's a way for me to really bring down the temperatures. How much better is a CNPS-9500, TT Big Typhoon, or XP/SI-120 over a CNPS-7700?

fartonmyear Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 here's a thing i found on steppings and their likelihood of reaching 3ghz Opteron 165: CCB1E 0550VPMW CCB1E 0605XPMW CCB1E 0606VPMW CCB1E 0608MPMW CCB1E 0609FPMW CCBBE 0610DPMW CCBBE 0615XXXX Opteron 170: CCBWE 0550UPMW <- this one is the exception to the rule, this stepping actually has quite a few total duds that can't exceed 2.7ghz. Still, I myself have owned one that did 3ghz. CCB1E 0550VPMW CCB1E 0609FPAW Honorable Mention: CCBWE 0530TPMW -> most of them cant quite hit 3ghz, more like 2.9-2.95. CCBWE 0546XPMW -> OK stepping, 2.85-2.9ghz average CCBWE 0609FPAW -> Do not confuse with the CCB1E 0609FPAW, which is a better CPU. This CCBWE version seems to be a 2.9ghz average. KNOWN steppings to AVOID if you want at least 2.9ghz: CCBWE 0607_____(Any processor of that week) CCBWE 0602_____(Any processor of that week) CCBWE 0551_____(Any processor of that week) CCBWE 0546MPMW CCBWE 0543TPMW CCBWE 0534SPMW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest element Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I seem to have missed the boat on these 939 Opterons. Would it be a good plan to wait for the current users to ditch them, thus scoring cheap. Or will they be out classed by the next gen of video cards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
