I found that changing the chipset cooler does not improve my overclock at all. With the HR-05, the chipset temp is in the low 40s while the temp with Vantec Iceberg that I used to replace the faulty stock cooler is in the low 60s.

thanks dude...you are my life saver....I change drive strange and everything seem OK right now. cant wait to push my chip some more. aim for 3ghz..YOSHH!! btw I used dfi nf4 ultra-D.

Yes, true, Chipset has nothing to do in K8 overclocking, as the reference clock is generated from the processor itself (AMD call it PLL, but DFI BIOS state it has HTT frequency).

I suggest u Scythe Ninja as CPU cooling, elhh selling 180 bucks free shipping. If u cant wait for bulk, arj oso got mah, see his siggie

glad to hear that
will b waiting for yr new OC results.

ninja really give some good result.... but its causing a pain when u installing it...the hardest cpu cooler installed ever....
i m still waiting for the result of scythe mine...dunno if it can beat tt bt...
and i dun think chipset cooling will improve any oc as well.... the cooling of the proc is more important than that at least

Hmm... isit tat hard to install Scythe Ninja?

I feel it's ok lo, just press one side of the heatsink while u r clipping the other side.

anyway guys, pls go to hardware section to register yourself in K8 owner club
After final exam, i'll come up with some databases for easy references.

I've written down the steppings of dual core Opteron that can reach 3Ghz that I found at XS. Thinking of going to LYP tomorrow and look for them

hey, share the steppings la, dont makan sendiri only

Siapa cepat dia dapat

Dont worry, i tak cukup $ nak rebut

some result for refer...

good luck hunting arj...i wish i can get 1 dual core that can hit 3ghz with 1.4v or so

Damn it,what for they include the lolypop Big Water.

i can c CCBWE 0551 UPMW atleast can go 2.8Ghz @ 1.55V, some 3.0Ghz which is same stepping wif mine. currently awaiting for my new RAMs, hope those HZ series can make my day

The steppings that I linked to above is for dual cores. Dunno whether they applies for single core as well or not

he is on dual core opteron i belive

I had this weird imagination thinking that he's ikan_semilang who's using single core

i thinks i got this stepping CCB1E 0609FPAW for my opty 170 so need some expert here for some help if i want to overclock what are option i need to tweak to overclock the cpu, i have a dfi ultra-d board and a Gskill HX series 2gb rams....need some help here i already read most the faq from this forum but still still a bit confusing so can anyone show me some help or give me some hints to guide me......

For starters, just play around with the HTT and don't touch anything else. Increse the HTT by 5 and then run some stress test. Run dual SP2004 for 5 minutes. If there's no errors, go back into the BIOS and increase the HTT summore then do the stress test again. Repeat this until errors pops up.

At this point you have two choices; back off by about 50Mhz and that should be a pretty stable speed or you can start increasing the vcore. If you increase the vcore, repeat the above steps all over again.
