CheeseMan42 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 ive got a 148 CAB2E. the only thing im waiting on is the watercooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchuwato Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Sup fellow opteron owners... I've finshed with mine [146 CAB2E ('45)] It seems it'll do 3ghz easy, and will pass everything but OCCT So, I've got it running at 2900 at the moment... and OCCT seems to like that: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=62500 Next i'm attacking the memory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 grats, but i suggest you write down your settings, and set it up to 3ghz exactly. what timings are you running, especially in your bios, details please try preamble @ 5.0 or 5.5, A64 tweaker will underread it (in my case) or over read it (hardnrgs case). and if your running tccd, have data drive and data drive strenght @ 7 & 2 (which ever has the 7, set it to 7.

suchuwato Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 ok swifty... you're starting to confuse me now... this is it at the moment [attached] remember please i know nothing about memory until today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 2-2-2-x @ 259mhz is nothing to be sneezed at dude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchuwato Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 did you just delete your own post i tried to submit one and yours disappeared well, it's not bad... any suggestion for improvement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderChicken Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 heres my 32m pi calc at 3025mhz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 nice work ThunderChicken, my highest SPi 32M was also my highest Prime95 18-19hr stable (i got bored and cancelled before it got to 24 hours) and it ran all games and benches and everything without errors at that speed... i'd say you've got a bit more headroom because you've got a touch more vcore left to spare for air-cooling lego... i dunno man... could well be some tweaking left to do with your ram and possibly you should try *lower* vcore... mine seem to do best in the 1.52-1.58 kinda range reading in cpu-z when i set ldt/chipset to 1.3/1.6 and that's how i got my max oc's on all 3 opterons... so yeah, lower vcore possibly, and memory timings, and memory-related timings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderChicken Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 what yoru recommendations hardnrg i got my ldt/chipset to 1.3/1.6 just raise vcore? what is the max vcore i could try without worrying about killing the chip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 isn't the ram rated to 2.95v? i'd try it up to 3v ... if it is less stable then back it down... for the vcore it's up to you really... i think around 1.6-1.65v actual is the point where you start to take a risk with damaging the memory controller on air cooling... even though your temps are nice, i couldn't really say it's "safe" above 1.5-1.55v in cpu-z (due to the apparent overvolt of the dfi nf4) maybe cooling the voltage regulators (PWM) would get you some more stability... try rigging a fan up to test this out... oh... try using the 10x multi with a 166 (5:6) divider... same speeds, same performance, sometimes more stability Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
