delemon Posted October 30, 2006 My CCBBE 0615DPMW that I picked up retail from ZZF is currently running at 329x9 (2880MHz) on 1.45V on air. Seems pretty solid there(OCDB entry). I am slowly lowering my voltages, then I'll try upping the clock to get over 2.9GHz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDMJOSH Posted October 30, 2006 im hitting 2.9 @ 1.47v with my o617. doesnt want to go much higher than that no matter what I do though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaz-Ed Posted October 30, 2006 im hitting 2.9 @ 1.47v with my o617. doesnt want to go much higher than that no matter what I do though Our cooling systems are similiar, and I am testing 2880 mhz @ 1.48v. Seems good so far. I will know shortly if I hit the same wall as you. How high did you raise the voltage to determine it was maxed out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDMJOSH Posted October 30, 2006 I've had it all the way up to 1.63v @ 3.0 and dual prime still crashed in minutes. Kind of frustrating because i know there are many other 0617 owners getting better results from this chip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praz Posted October 30, 2006 Kind of frustrating because i know there are many other 0617 owners getting better results from this chip. What you have to remember is there are a lot more out there not getting those results. People aren't motivated to post showing 2.8 or 2.9 overclocks when, although wrong. the popular thought is only 3.0+ is a decent overclock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I can't get 2.9 or over, I will not be disappointed. It will still be a great over-clock because stock is only 1.8 ghz. I am sure there are many that can't even get to 2.8 because of hardware limitations, etc. Overall, I am extremely happy with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebdoradz Posted October 30, 2006 My CCBBE0617 is abble to let me get this 1.28V = 2810 1.39V = 3006 both are stable for 8hres of prime, haven't done any OCDB entry cuz i dont wanna install the 3d mark benchmark, both OC are stable for CS:s or TQ for 3-4hours, (usualy dont play more the 4 hres) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p0tter Posted October 30, 2006 Does this stepping or 165 overall do well with memory / cpu 1:1 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praz Posted October 30, 2006 Does this stepping or 165 overall do well with memory / cpu 1:1 ? 1:1 is limited because of the 9x multiplier. If you aren't looking for high overclocks 1:1 is fine. But even at 2700MHz the memory is at 300MHz. The best configuration for a 165 is 2x1 PC4000 and run the divider at whatever it takes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaz-Ed Posted October 30, 2006 It does well with a 1:1 ratio, but the only drawback is the low CPU mult. of 9. My max memory speed is 288 mhz, DDR 576. You will have to resort to a memory divider to clock to 2.7 ghz, or higher. Looks like I will have to settle somewhere between, 2.9 & 3.0 ghz, then try to tighten my timings a little more, if possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaz-Ed Posted October 31, 2006 Was all of a sudden getting problems, even at stock settings. I thought the new Opty 165 crapped out on me. I took a deep breath, and tested the memory. Turns out the OCZ memory took a dump, and have already contacted and spoke to the manufacturer. So, have to put the Corsair memory back in and hope for the best. At least it is two gigs.
