Haha , nice stock cooler . All the more reason to purchase an Opty dual-core than an X2 now

I'm currently running my 144 @ stock speeds. Mobo / memory limiting me to 215 FSB max. Gonna RMA my board before trying to OC again. 2 of the DIMMs are faulty can't seem to boot with those 2 populated. I'll update with screenies in coming days. I might get a 148 and sell off this 144 also .

Yeah should have got them while there were available. Now everyone is regretting. I myself regret to an certain extent , but hey half a loaf is better than none.

Those who got their opty's from dinsters bulk please post up some scores ~! . Interested especially in the 144's . I can't seem to get my 144 above 220mhz @ stock multiplier. I have a feeling my mobo is to blame. Gonna try RMA it today.

Yeah checked both. I just sent in my board for RMA , they're going to send it back to Taiwan for replacement / repair , going to take at least 3 weeks . The darn motherboard was an ENGINEERING SAMPLE omg , that explains why it was limiting my overclocks .

Might want to change to DFI soon , I established contact with a regional distributor. Might organize a bulk(s) in the coming weeks. Anyone interested ?.

Argh, my 144 CAB2E 0540 FPMW must sit and collect dust for 3 weeks . After I RMA-ed my gigabyte board I finally know why I couldn't boot above 215 fsb , the darn mobo was using an engineering sample of the NF4 ultra chip . Sigh , after waiting so long to complete the rig now gotta wait even longer... .

Where those other 144's from dinsters bulk ? c'mon post some results
