    Opty 165 temp help!

    I bumped them up to 1.35 +100.4% in the bios. Cpuz shows 1.375v though, instead of 1.404v. Running orthos now. Give me about an hour to see if it locks up again.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I'll work with the voltages to see if that will help with the stability, but the temps still bother me quite a bit.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Before I bought it I read a review on one of their power supplies. I can't find it now, or I'd link it. It is an inexpensive psu, so it might not be up to the load that's being put on it. But it's been perfect up to this point. I might just go ahead and replace it anyway. I was planning to when...

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I understand that. It was around 60° last night when I was testing it. It's around 70° right now.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I'll try the voltage. I just don't see idling at 40° with everything at stock as "good". From what I've been seeing, most 165s are idling around 30-35° and load is in the 40s. Yes, cool n quiet is off.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Yes, two different mobos. I'm using the last official bios from dfi. My biggest thing is how these optys are acting straight out of the box. AMD and newegg would not be shipping these things if they weren't going to run right straight from the box.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Up till these 165s, my rig and the one I built for my mom have been 100% rock solid. We live in rural Ok, we're probably the only people in the state that knows what a "939" is.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Yes, it's a really nice psu. The absolute only thing that's changed is the cpu. I went from my 3000+ @2.4ghz @ 1.5v (for complete stability) to these 165s @ 1.8ghz @ 1.3v.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I haven't tried a raidmax psu. I've used my Athena and my mom's system which has an aerocool zerodb 620. Sorry if I seem kinda....grumpy guys, I've been trying to track this down for a couple of days and it's driving me nuts. I really do appreciate all the suggestions, even if I've already...

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Explain the same behavior in the other system with a AeroCool ZERODBA-S620? I've already tried setting everything manually, just like the dfi nf4 boards like. I'm not new to computers, overclocking, or any of this, just dualcores. And right now I am damn close to just putting the winnie...

    Opty 165 temp help!

    The temps would be fine if I wasn't running at stock speed and vcore this whole time! Yes, I did a fresh install of xp pro when I installed the dual cores. Nothing in my rig, or my mom's system is running at anything other than bone stock speeds. Both systems are behaving identically.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I have my mom's comp sitting in the corner right now. Everything in her system is different, except she has a newer ultra-d. I'm thinking it's the ihs...again, but what are the odds? Four different 165s all with badly set ihs? Two of them with steppings that no one has had any problems with...

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Temps are the same with everest. A fresh install was the first thing I did. So there wouldn't be any os issues. The winnie 3000+ that's in my sig was there before and I'm using the gskill ram that's in my sig as well. Everything from my sig is the same except the proc.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Load temp with the xp90 is around 51°. Yes, it is at stock speed and vcore, both verified with cpuz. With the xp90, I ran orthos for just under an hour when my system locked up.

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I've tried both alot and very little thermal compound on both the stock hsf and the xp90. Running the dfi nf4 ultra-d that's in my sig. The thing that's just driving me nuts is that they have all ran like this straight out of the box!

    Opty 165 temp help!

    Low 40s AT IDLE is NOT in any way shape or form normal for these! Them shutting down after a few minutes of load because of heat is NOT NORMAL. I'm thinking you didn't even read my post, man. I have used the stock hsf and an xp90! The case is the one listed in my sig. Everything is the same as...

    Opty 165 temp help!

    I finally ordered an opty 165 a few weeks ago. At the same time my mom decided she wanted one too. So I got two CCBBE 0616xpmw's in the mail. I opened my case up, installed this "beast", and low and behold I had the worst stock temps I'd ever seen! Almost 50° at idle! Needless to say I reset the...

    gpedit problems

    Ok, after three days of messing around, I JUST found the answer. I had to manually ADD them. This gave me the clue. Run gpedit.msc, then right click administrative template, select add/remove, and tell it to add, it should pop up in the folder with the templates, just select the ones you're...

    gpedit problems

    Ok, so I reinstalled xp pro and went to adjust the settings to get things back to how I like them, and I dont have any settings to adjust! Needless to say, this is more than a little irratating. I ever tried under the default 'Admin' user, same thing. I even tried reinstalling xp again, just to...

    Why didn't AMD think of this?

    ahh, you've obviously not heard of a little app called 'sysprep'. go dig around your win2k or xp install disc and see what you find. or just google it. very usefull little app ms gave us.
