060X Opterons are sweet indeed!

My first '06 chip was a CAB2E 0604EPAW 146 which I still have.

This chip did 2.9 ghz 10x290 @ auto. tested prime for 2 hours or so...
2.9 @ stock

10x300 @ 1.45x1.04%
3.0 @ 1.45x1.04%

.... but I wanted 3.1 ghz. I've given on this chip. I think if I remove the IHS I could get 3.1.

newest chip is CACJE 0602GPMW 144.

This chip did 3.0 ghz @ 1.45x1.04% as well.
3.0 @ 1.45x1.04%

I tried for 3.1 ghz as well with 1.5 volts and 1.55 volts. Prime ran for a couple minutes but would fail. I read that the CACJE chips are sensitive to temps so I decide do remove the IHS.

3.1 @ 1.55x1.04%

so this is where I'm at right now. 3.1 ghz @ 1.55x1.04% with IHS off and 38C's 100% load.

edit #1: finished 3.1 ghz @ 1.55x1.04% volts. Prime stable for 17+ hours!

hmm my eXpert Venus should be here tomorrow or Monday. I should be hitting the same numbers as you. This chip can do 3Ghz with 1.48v fully prime stable.

Once I get my water rig in I am hopefully going to go for 3.2 if possible.

EDIT: Woah Just noticed that was on a 144, :thumbsup:

Also have you got any TCCD sticks (280+ sticks with around CAS 2.5 ability) to test and stress the mem controllers on that chip? Although it is already looking pretty damn good.

I do have some TCCD.

My TCCD crap out around 290ish though w/o major tweaking. I'll do some more testing with TCCD later.

With DFI's is it better to use a smaller percentage value on the overvolt option combined with the max voltage value of 1.55, rather than a higher percentage overvolt value with a low voltage setting, when trying to obtain a certain Vcore value?

I thought this way there might be less fluctuation in the Vcore, as this proves true on my MSI Neo2.

 

[Shimmishim]

i'm not sure. some people say that low vcore + higher % gives a bit more stable vcore.

I haven't had too many problems with vcore fluctuations using high vcore + lower %.

but i'm not 100% sure.

finished testing 3.1 ghz. might go for 3.2 now!

nice

An update for those considering the new 144's. I just picked one up from Monarch a few days ago (CAB1E 0604 CPBW) for my office rig. So far it's Prime stable at 2.8GHZ@stock volts. It Primed for 3.5hrs at 2.9GHz@stock volts so I think with a slight voltage bump or better temps, than I can get fully Prime stable at 2.9GHz. I'm using a fanless Scythe Ninja which actually does a pretty good job of keeping temps under control (~48C under load).

Sweet.
