mungo Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 just got an opty 165. stepping CCBWE 0633 XPMW. anyone had any experience with this stepping. currently at 2.5 at stock voltage:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewhoa Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 if you pass 2.9 at stock voltage then you got yourself a winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 currently testing at 2.7 at 1.375v. so not as good as i was hoping for. if i can get 2.8~2.9 at or less than 1.400v ill be happy enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 well it seems 2.76 is all this chips gonna give me. the oppertunity arose to get a ccbbe stepping of ebay. currently got it up to 2.85 with a slight volt increase to 1.375. fingers crossed, could have a 3g one here :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 hit some problems with this chip. for somereason it really struggles if the fsb gets any higher than 320 :confused: even with the multi right down it takes a huge amount of volts to get going. does that sound like the chip is bad or something else holding it back.

mknwatt Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 I would have to say it's the RAM holding you back. 165's work better with PC4000. I have a set of ocz pc3200 that i could get to 500MHz and I still wasn't able to go over 2.8G with a capable 3.0G opty 165.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 would running the memory as loose as possible help atall or would it harm the performance to much to be worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 I would have to say it's the RAM holding you back. 165's work better with PC4000. I have a set of ocz pc3200 that i could get to 500MHz and I still wasn't able to go over 2.8G with a capable 3.0G opty 165.. I would say it's the chip scaling poorly with voltage. My RAM is good up to DDR560, but my Opty scaled poorly with voltage... stable 1.4v at 2.6GHz, not stable at 2.7GHz with 1.62v. Couldn't go above 289 FSB. Loosening your timings might improve stability. Don't know how your RAM performs, though, so I wouldn't really now. Performance probably wouldn't be severely harmed.

Hemidare Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 As it says in the overclocking guide the cpu max is more important then the ram max. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITandRUN Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 As it says in the overclocking guide the cpu max is more important then the ram max. CPU Mhz is the KING! Angry's line! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mknwatt Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Try dropping to a 100 divider. The lowest divider I could use was the 150 Ram/FSB - 4/5. Wouldn't boot with anything less - except for the 100. Give it a try and see if the processor is holding you back. CPU is KING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 well loosening the timings has allowed me to raise the fsb up more. rams at 3.6.6.7 on the 133 divider. sat at 2.934 at the minute. not tested for stability yet though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
