Just a quick run test.

Get 146, because of its higher overclockability chance and multiplier of 10x is easier to play with.

Test bed :-

AMD Opteron 146 CAB2E 0540 FPMW
MSI Neo2 Platinum flashed sideeffect's 1B rev2 Bios
TwinMOS Value RAM 1A4T UTT BH-5 with OCZ Booster
64MB Geforce 2 TI AGP
Stock heatsink with 92mm Tornado

Vcore - 1.475v + 103.3%
Vdimm - 3.5v
166 Divider, RAMs run @ 250FSB with 300HTT, 2-2-2-5



Sadly, SuperPI cannot be archieved cause I don't think its quite stable, just to test out if 3ghz is possible or not. Will tweaked more when my DFI NF4 UT LP Ultra D arrive.

Should check ur RAM timing.

3Ghz on 1.4vcore + 103.3%

Thanks.

But not really stable de. SuperPI only for 1M, tried 8M and 32M, both failed.

SP2004 primed, failed in less than a second.

vdimm @ 2.8v since the RAM only runs @ 200mhz with 166 divider 300HTT, its 1T btw.

Will try that some other time, now clocked back to 2.8ghz

I can even run my 146 with 1.3v + 103.3% @ 2.8ghz stable, so I think 1.25v +109% isn't a problem for 2.6 to be stable.

3Ghz on air is possible here, for some quick test run and benchies. And could be near impossible for 24/7 usage, unless anyone there dare to bet on that by running on 3ghz 24/7 for a try out.

146 I mean, some 144 also can perform quite well.

Erm, I actually refering to the temp, not the chances of reaching 3ghz.

Its more around that temp. Hmm you using stock cooler?

Trust Everest, sometimes Sandra doesn't gives appropraite value.

I will try to prime 32m @ 3ghz when I'm free to format a new window with my new DFI UT LP Ultra D. Now lazy to test my new board. -.-

Well, you have to tried it out yourself. No one will ever know how far it can goes.

I think no problem, just that you might need to flash the BIOS to the latest.

What HTT and LDT you use when you're planning for 2.5ghz?

E6 isn't really much of an real overclocker, E3 is way lots better than it.

@genstapo

Well, I believe it can reach 3.1ghz or even 3.3ghz, just that our environment and temperature are the factors, unless we can get OCZ Cyro-Z Phase Cooling on our hands.
