Opteron

[lopri]

Joined the Opteron craze and got pretty lucky. Cost me total $450 to setup the whole thing. (No case yet)

2860MHz @1.36V (Everything set auto except my lowly DDR333)



3003MHz @1.48V



Thinking of putting this on eBay. How much would I get?

can't read it, on my pc anyway.

why not?
Low res monitor?
Anyway, cool beans!

Nice OC, your HTT is nothing to write home about though. Probably held back by that memory a considerable amount. Be interested to see the true limits of that CPU. The Opty's are OCing so nice, I'd love one but its far out of my budget.

CABYE 0540FPBW

good stepping!

I got a 146 with those steppings but I heven't tested it out yet. It will be sitting here next to my Asus Crossfire board until my Radeon 850XT PE gets here next week. I can't wait put in my new hardware. It's been awhile since I upgraded. I'm still running an Athlon XP 2400 @ 3200 with a Radeon 9500 Pro.

Wow those clocks at those voltages are insane.

I don't think that you would get that much. AMD says it's planning on producing that line of CPUs for a long time (14 months or something). Something to do with a Corperate Product Stability Program or something. Also, CABNE steppings are the fastest, but CABYE is pretty damn good too. Personally I'm going after the 165 dual core, should get 2.8+Ghz I hope!

The rumor mill has it that they are going to discontinue the socket 939 versions however.

No they wont That's what I was referring to about the stability program.

*Shrug* not the most reliable source, but the others weren't either. I guess we will just have to see.

Got mine up and running. 2.8 @ 1.375v rock stable with stock retail cooler. I need a better PS though; the voltage fluctuates way too much (from 1.36v to 1.39v @ 1.375v) on the one I have - Apex (Allied) 500w. So I will be content with getting a $1000 processor for $200 and change for now. Maybe I will try to push it higher later when I get a new PS and new cooler.

Got my Opteron 146 hooked up with Dfi Lanpart SLI-DR Expert. Running 2.85GHz @ 1.4v with aircooling. 3GHz is Pifast but not Prime stable. Still, I'm quite happy with this.

edit: Also bought a new PSU to replace my old Antec Truepower 430W. The replacement is Seasonic 430W which seems to be doing a nice job.
