olympic Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 After posting my OC database entry here. I took out my 170, popped the IHS off and put it back in along with the storm waterblock. The results: Same OC with 2 steps lower voltage(1.375 vs 1.425)! Also dropped 8c off the CPU load temps and about 10c off PWMIC temps. She'll do [email protected] but temps become an issue again. It seems anything much over 40c and it becomes unstable at these speeds. I could keep it under 40c through the night when my office cools off but in the afternoon, temps go up and boom...Prime95 fails. I tried for the big 3.0GHz but it wont even boot Windows regardless of how much juice I fed it. So right now it's chugging along happily running 2 instances of folding at 36-37c. These chips are amazing, a 43% OC with only 1 notch above stock volts! You just need a cooling system that can keep up. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthatwhichis Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 NO!!! Don't tempt me... :shake: Maybe when I get another Opty, or I could strip my Vennie, but I can't "de-robe" my ONLY Opty... Nice clock with that voltage though! :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Nice job! You are the Grand Master....................now command that Opty to go to 3.0 :nod: I really wish I had gotten an Opteron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Yeah, but not all Opteron's can hit that high. If you look closely he has the 0550 Stepping. My 0551 can't even come close to 2.8GHz. I think she'll hit 2.7GHz tops. Anything over or par with the FX-60 is great i think! Spending money on a $325 processor that can hit FX-60 speeds is amazing anyway, right?

tasr Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 dude you have a 4400, you should be making that thing spit hot magma...lol I wish..............that would be so cool. Hot magma might burn the carpet, but what the heck. :eek: I think the 4400 tops out at 2.8 on water cooling. I have air cooling in my rig, but I'm running solid at 2.7Ghz 1.350v@113% = 1.50v Vcore (roughly) with temp at 27C idle and 45C load. I’ve duel core primed stable for over 12 hours. So maybe I feel better about my self again. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoetuS Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 wow, i can't wait to get my opty on water cooling, hopefully i get similar results... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 So did you re-adjust the IHS on the core? What did you exactly do for better your cooling? I thought you had to take the IHS off fully and just use your cooling source right on top of the core that way to decrease heat? hmm......

olympic Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I took the IHS right off so my Storm block is sitting right on the core. As stated, it didn't help my OC much but I was able to run the same MHZ with less volts. I can get 2950 stable but it's right on the edge of this chips abilities so I backed it down to 2850 for more safety margin for day to day use.

red930 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Temps become an issue at less than 1.5 volts on good watercooling? Doesn't seem right to me... Anyways, resize your pic to be 800x600 or less. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaznee Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 It's kinda fun.. My Opty is rock stable as long as I have my fans on max speed.. If I go to low-noise mode, it crashes within 15-30 minutes... Can't wait to get my watercool setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthatwhichis Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Temps become an issue at less than 1.5 volts on good watercooling? Doesn't seem right to me... I have to agree. For shittes and grins I pushed the volts on my opty to 1.55 + 113% = 1.73 and am running @ 2.792, 35 C idle and now I have two stresscpus going and I'm running at 54 to 57 C. You sure your temps are being read right? When I'm run mine at 2.6 I use 1.475 and can't get near 40 C. I'm gonna try Super Pi and see how warm it gets doing a 32M run, and I guess to see if this is semi stable... :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
