Finally I Got This Opteron 146 To Run 3ghz Im Chuffed!!!

[Johnkam]

Hi guys, well finally after tweaking and tweaking I finally got this CAB2E stable @ 3002mhz  , I only tweaked voltages though.

 

First I tried running it at 3ghz with 2.83v on Vdimm and 1.55v core… well that was stable for 42 mins in prime, then I thought I would undervolt my memory so I set it 2.7v at same core voltage and it was prime stable 50mins yay 8 mins more, then I thought increase vdimm to 2.93v and give cpu 0.02v more so 1.57v, OMG OMG its stable been running prime for 4 hours, please some games, did a couple of 3dmark 05.06 loops and no problems at all, im soo happy!! I can finally join the prestigious 3ghz club, max load temp was 45c so temps are all good 

Welcome to the club :drool:

 

and those temps are fine

 

you know dfi-street should have a 3ghz club

 

I know its been suggested before but that would be sweet like the toaster sigs

Congratulations on 3.0. But 4 hours Prime doesn't make it stable. I can run 3100 all day long without problems but can't do 8+ hours of Prime. Get it in the OCDB then you will know it's stable.

hard, i rekon ther should be an 3ghz club and out avartar should have some little 3ghz logo or somthing, i rekon that would be cool, i think you should start a poll or something asking wether you want a 3ghz club or not, i rekon then more lazy people will try and clock theris cpu's to make it into this club, a good idea me thinks

[Johnkam]

yea, i know i know, i havent had time to prime it yet, but i played 10 hours staright on Need for speed underground with fully maxed out settings, also ren 3dmarks around 10 times each.... and played bf2 for around 4 hours, normally it would of frozen by then from previous expirences at trying to run at 3000mhz ... gonna prime it soon for a long time

What week is your cpu etc as mine is CAB2E 0546 FPAW and cant get much over 2.7ghz

[Praz]

At one time 3.0+ recognition would have been a good idea. But now it isn't that difficult to achieve. The 939 will be around for awhile but with AM2 available these processors are basically EOL.

[Johnkam]

have you tried running a divider to get past 2.7, dam, i cant find the pic with of the cpu, how do i check what week it was made?

Fairly certain its the line underneath the CABE etc

You did it mate! Another kiwi 3GHz member! I know it isn't much of a difference between 3.0GHz or 2.9GHz (or even 2.8GHz for that matter) in terms of real life performance but it's a great feeling to break past that barrier.

The thing about toaster sigs for the nf2 was that it was a rewarded effort getting to that point, nowadays it's not that hard to get a setup that can do 3GHz. Not that it's "easy" either, but I reckon it's a damn sight easier on nf4 than nf2!

Maybe we can look at OCDB sigs instead? Aren't they the new toasters? (An ocdb toaster mayhaps?)

I think there should be a 300+HT club, 3.0 with a 146 is the same as 2.7 with a 144 and 3.3 with a 148.

No it's not, 2.7 on a 144 is relatively easy, 3.0 on a 146 is getting harder, 3.3 on a 148 is nigh impossible on air (or even water).
