wat is the recommended temp for opteron, i mean like athlon64 is 55c, wat is opteron temp recommended at max load...

Guys, those with Opty165, how high can you overclock to and what are the memory settings to achieve that overclock?

Same i guess but opteron produce more heat,like 2c-4c more than Athlons.

Stepping?your rig spec?How can you expect us to give you the clock/settings without your rig's spec.

i need to know how high can opteron dual 170 cpu reach below is my spec:
opty 170 stepping-CCBWE 0609FPAW
gskill HX series 2gb
DFI NF4 LP ultra-d
PSU: Fortron 500w
HDD - 1 is IDE WD 20GB and another is SATA 2 SGT 160GB
Optical Drive - 1. CDRW/DVD Combo drive(teac) 2. Toshiba CD-ROM drive
Board Bios is NF4LDB14
XFX 7900GT-xtreme edition
Audigy 2
using scythe ninja for my CPU...

pls let me know what the max i can go with my opty170...


thanks

er hard to say what the max is it from this point of view man

depend on the opty luck, if u having the super OC'able chip than its nice
my opty170 which is sucks i think onli able to do 2.7Ghz@ 1.52V

Your stepping 0609 is not good I think. There is an OC database at xtremesystems for all steppings of opterons you can check there.

i check it say my opty is somewhere between 2.8 and 2.9.....

It's all not the same.You have to tweak to the max in order to know how overclockable your CPU is.

Squall: I think your chip should be good enough for 2.8 to 2.9ghz. However, you might need to use memory divider since 2GB kits are not known to be able to run DDR580 speeds. However, this is just a guide and overclocking is always: Trial and Error.

Taken from Extremesystems:

Known good steppings that are capable of 3ghz:
CCB1E 0550VPMW
CCBWE 0550UPMW (Some are crappy actually)
CCB1E 0605XPMW
CCB1E 0606VPMW
CCB1E 0608MPMW
CCB1E 0609FPAW
CCB1E 0609FPMW
CCBBE 0610DPMW
CCBBE 0615DPMW

Honorable Mention:
CCBWE 0530TPMW (2.9ghz avg.)
CCBWE 0546XPMW (2.85ghz avg.)
CCBWE 0609FPAW (Unconfirmed precise averages, but seems to be 2.8-2.9)

AVOID if you want to hit 2.8ghz+:
CCBWE 0534SPMW
CCBWE 0543TPMW
CCBWE 0546MPMW
CCBWE 0551 (Any packing code) (2.7-2.75ghz 1.55v)
CCBWE 0602 (Any packing code)
CCBWE 0607 (Any packing code) (2.65ghz 1.55v)

ok thanks guy...

keke thats mine!
can hit 2.85 and more

Lucky you, my silly Manchester had to be pumped with 1.65V just to reach 2.6ghz. Daily usage is 1.6V for 2.5ghz.

no CACJE ?? hehhe

mine can hit 2.7ghz easily.. never try more..

*abit only

hi there,have a question here,my opteron 144 cabje 0607 apaw only can stable at 290*9 although i increase vcore..any idea y?
my specs
biostar tforce 6100 s939
2*512mb dt-d43
arctic freezer 64 pro
acbel 500w

do u try to use divider?try 150mhz

wat u mean?htt at 300mhz and ram at 150mhz?

mine is cacje 0607. 3G'ers. 2.8G @ 1.38v

yes that what i ment.u try use divider,htt 300mhz and ram set 150...

wow!! doncha think the voltage is HIGH arr bro?
sell it la get opty dual core
