If the bulk has good stepping, I'll prepare some cash for it drool.gif

3GHz here I come. (Oops, dun have any mobo yet tongue.gif)
Babyelf, u r the man ! notworthy.gif

opteron uses normal DDR ram and not the ECC right ?

opteron is better then amd64? is is good for gaming?

i suppose the AMD64 u meant here is Athlon64. AMD64 actually means the 64-bit technology implemented on AMD K8 processors (opteron, athlon64, sempron64).

Well, Opteron of course is better. It's somehow ranked higher than Athlon series processor in market. It might have the same specs and core name as the Athlon64 1MB L2 cache series, but the chip quality might be higher bcoz server needs procs with higher QC. This definitely is an advantage in o/c as u might be able to push the clock speed higher than conventional Athlon64 with same specs wink.gif

Initial o/c with my fren's Opteron 146:

Setup:
AMD Opteron 146
DFI LanParty nF3 Ultra-D
nVidia GF4 Ti4200 64MB
Corsair XMS3200 XLPT (TCCD)
Thermaltake Big Typhoon

Initial trial:
CPU: 10x250, 1.425V
RAM: 250MHz, 2.5-3-3-7, 2.70V
M/B: 250MHz, 3xHTT, 1.75V
Temp :CPU = 49C, System = 45C <--- too hot no ventilation yet tongue.gif

Installed WinXP SP2 without problem, ~15 mins done already. After tat try video playback (XviD), and bugger, it's so freaking smooth when i jump from one screen to another. Open Window Explorer with 0 lag time drool.gif I cant stop thinking about my upcoming Opty with nF4 Ultra-D liao drool.gif laugh.gif

Only 250MHz? Set it to 4xHTT.

I thought nF3 is using 800MHz HTT, but i was wrong notworthy.gif
Will help him set to 250MHz later tongue.gif

Probably you'll feel left behind in 3DMark06's CPU test rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif

Huh? Left behind ar? So what's your suggestion in clock speed?

3x is ok. It wont effect performance. The most important thing is it adds stability
Dual core mate!  rolleyes.gif

lol, no money for dual core.

nvm la, i'll js put back to 4x250MHz, since its within specs, it wont affect stability. Although 250MHz also more than enough (he only uses 2x PATA drive), js scared my fren discovered and scold me for downclocking laugh.gif

New to this club, finally got 3/4 the stuff in my siggies. While waiting for scythe ninja, i tried o/c with stock HSF 1st.

Here's the result:

CPU : 2.7GHz (9x300), 1.40Vcore

Temp (dual prime95 for 1 hr):
CPU : 41C
PWM : 42C
Chip : 45C

I'm sooo impressed with this opty. my AXP is like shit compare to it tongue.gif

Btw 1.4v bios value?

haha, true. I gotta use back the Athlon XP for some CPLD application, bcoz those design kits need to use Parallel port while the stupid Lan Party nF4 tarak ! vmad.gif

Yeap, it is 1.40V from BIOS. Anything more than 2.7GHz wont stable in prime95 even if i put VID*104%, so i'll js burn in at 2.7GHz 1st b4 further o/c biggrin.gif

Now the headache part is RAM timing, always fail the Prime95 test, need more time to try other combinations tongue.gif

How's the opty in yr bulk? Any superb o/c gem?

u meant prime on large fft?...i oso have the damn prob...proc has no prob on prime, ram on memtest86+ oso has no prob...but so hard to pass prime with large fft...actually my ram is yet to pass that test...even windows with fresh install oso cannot pass...so damn stuck now...

i'm using custom Prim95. 1st one set to 8K - 1024K and run in place FFT for my opty. 2nd one is 8K - 4096K with untick "run inplace FFT".
So the 2nd one always giving me problem.

wahaa.. tot onli me got prob wif opty  doh.gif
mine pass PI 32mb, 3dmark05/06 & pcmark05.. but will BSOD or fReezing when runnin' dual SP2004..
why arr?? any idea??  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
Bcoz SP2004/Prime95 stresses the most ! biggrin.gif


QUOTE(ahpaul82 @ Apr 22 2006, 10:31 PM)
RAM tweaking is the MOST headache and challenging parts... 
I used around 1month time also havent fine tuned the RAM...  sweat.gif
Single core oso enough to die tongue.gif
Well, now i start from basic, increase 2MHz per time from 200MHz, and slowly see how each timing and voltage affect the stability. It will take me damn long time, but it's fun to see how my RAM perform at different situation biggrin.gif

Sometimes u need more than 24 hrs to detect the error in SP2004.

oh ya? i tot larga FFT is enough to stress the ram  blush.gif

As long as the 'run in place FFT' isnt ticked, then it is testing on RAM.
In Prime95, i tested from 8K to 4096K, and SP2004 i test from 8K to 32768K biggrin.gif

Which RAM r u using? If BH5 / UTT, u need even numbers (2,4,6,8)
If TCCD, then u need odd numbers (1,3,5,7)

The odd numbers are weaker strength, 1 is the weakest and 7 is the near to normal one. Whereas, 2 is the normal one, and 8 is the strongest.

So the drive strengths from weak to strong is:

1,3,5,7,2,4,6,8.

lol, i duno about this. Usually it should be normal drive strength (even numbers). I heard only TCCD likes weak drive strength biggrin.gif
Maybe u should start working from level 2, and slowly up to 4,6,8 if still not stable wink.gif

Data drive strength should be set to #1 if u have CPC enabled.

I hvnt try 3.0GHz, but it seems like 2.7GHz barely stable at 1.4V.
I guess 3.0GHz need pretty high voltage.

Hmm... i cant get 305x9 stable yet. Maybe tat time the prime failed due to RAM o/c. Will try it later biggrin.gif

yup, i set it to 1.7v as well altho it's still recommended that u change the chipset heatsink to a better one as well.  rclxms.gif
I think no need to set. I'm able to run 302MHz HTT @ 1.5V only.


QUOTE(Penjejak awan @ Apr 24 2006, 02:10 AM)
do you use VC-RF cooler...how do you install it...
put the original sponge or not...can tell me..
i already have if... smile.gif
but do not install yet..
I put own double sided sponge type tape. You hv to bengkok the pin inwards bcoz the mounting hole not 100% correct.

Anyway, my new results. 2 hours priming ady. Hope it is stable biggrin.gif

May I know what voltage u guys use for CACJE 0607 Opteron 144 for 2.8GHz? My 2.75GHZ (9x306) always lock up the system when running prime for 5 hrs. The vcore is set at 1.425V.

I'm able to go up to 2.73GHz with stock voltage... hmm, wonder y adding 0.02GHz with slight increase of voltage cant work sad.gif
