Hello,
I found an Opteron 144 with a CACJE stepping. Date code is 0546. Anyone with any experience with this?

ive seen so many steppings, ive almost made a database in my head for the new s939 opterons. But i have to say that i have never seen that stepping before.

EDIT: Also what is the manufacturing week and the four letter string after the batch date?

eg CABNE 0528GPMW <---- This

I'm just hoping that the store gets the 144/146s with a known stepping.

And sorry, I didn't ask them the date code. Will do later though.

I asked the guy to read off the code...maybe he read it wrong or I heard it wrong.

ive ordered a CACJE 0544 EPAW,i'll let you know how it clocks,some dude got his 146 to 2.85ghz,so not the best,but still a worthy overclock. :)

i would probably say from an OCing point of view the 146 is the better choice not matter what stepping.

Hi,
I have just purchased an Opteron 148 (CACJE) hoping that it was going to be one of the CABNE or CABYE cpu's.

I have read a thread on a Japanese forum where someone states they got 3ghz out of their CACJE processor with screenshots to prove it!

I haven't got a motherboard yet to try it, any luck with overclocking yours Claspingbeast?

I just got my Opteron 148 CACJE. How did yours overclock?

I just got a 144 with CACJE 0546APBW not sure what that last group mean.
I got a MSI 6150 and KingMax ram. So basicly a very cheap setup.
I don't plan on doing any major OC, but I will let you know.
I only plan to OC to 2.4 for everyday use. But I will try higher speeds just to help test the new core.

I just got a 144 CACJE as well (I'll let you all know next week what it pulls off)
(OrSin lemme guess you got it from MWave?)

CACJEs are pretty good OC'ers. Not as good as early CABNEs or later CABYEs, but almost there. I'm starting to think that this Opteron craze is not an effect of conspiracy theory, but a result of their improved manufacturing. These chips tend to show very uniform performance trend - clocks extremely high at or near stock voltages, but once they pass certain thresholds it gets very hard to raise the clocks even with some massive voltages. From my observation, decent single-core Opteron steppings have been found to be:

CABNE (~053X) -> CABYE (0540~0544) -> CACJE (0545~ ) <--- Something like that

But as the manufacturing matures, binning must be improving, too. While CABNEs were found in various models of Opterons (144,146,148,150) and reached >3GHz air, CABYEs (which clocks about the same as CABNEs) are mostly found in 148s, and some among 146s. CACJEs don't clock as high as the previous two - exceeding 3GHz is probably a no-go, most likely 2.8~3.0GHz max, and are mostly found in 144s/146s. Anyway you look at it, it seems like AMD has a quite bright future for the time being.

Can anyone post results of their overclock?

You gonna try yours out? Post as soon as ya can k?

I got mine but I can't OC at all.
Actually my system is not even stable with the new memory.
I got samsung 400 with heatspeeders. they are rated to for 2.6-2.9 volts.
My system will not let me up the memory voltage. It says my voltage is 2.5
I think the MSI board blows. It could be the memory still testing somethings.

Which MSI board? Can you use dividers? I've gotten an 144 CACJE for a Christmas gift :D and the initial results seem promising.

I got 144 CACJE 0546APBW from Mwave. But don't have a motherboard yet. Still waiting on ASRock MB from Newegg.

That's about how mine does. ~2.7 at stock, and then you have to give it some juice to get any farther.
