Finally Got DUAL CORE

[borisvodofsky]

haha Bout time. Just got my 165 for 65bux with original heatsink, AND an XP90, pretty good deal imo

Opteron 165, 1.456v, 2.7Ghz
4870
2gb DDR
DFI nf4 Ultra-D
3007wfp

Playing RC Grid at blistering 55fps Average, 2560x1600, 0aa, 16af. muahahahaha

After a week struggling indecisively, I've settled on the fact that I am too disappointed with SC2 to warrent a whole new build I was planning

Anyone know the Maximum Voltage for this processor? I tried google, but no one said "THIS IS MAX" they're all like,, watch the temp,, I need to know MAX Voltage. The proc is 90nm fyi.^_^

Good, good...now you should try SATA! :awe:

One step at a time, lad.

HAHA

ZOMG you're e-prowessness is daunting me.. It's coming down..D:

Man I know this stock cooler is Inferior, But seriously, it is so COOL looking.:awe::awe::awe::awe:

Linked for Blast from the past

Copper sinks make me hard ...

 

[heyheybooboo]

Please.

Take my wife but leave my old Opty 4 copper heat-pipe cooler!

I wish the heatsink on my new PhenomII x3 was like that one!!!!!

Congrats!! Enjoy the Dual-Core--It was night and day when I switched from my 4000+ to my X2 4200. I actually could play crysis on my 7800GT SLI setup.

90nm? Did you have to pay extra for oversize shipping?

If I had milk in my mouth it would be coming out of my nose!! ROFL

hahaha^_^^_^ Does anyone have a clue as to the Maximum voltage? I used 1.55v on my Opteron 144 Single Core, is 1.55v max volt for 90nm?:hmm:

One step at a time, lad.

One step at a time.

I laughed out loud when I read that

 

[chubbyfatazn]

1.55v is the maximum recommended voltage for air cooling.

I remember my old 165 setup. Good times.

Does this carry through to Dual cores as well?? :hmm::hmm:

 

[chubbyfatazn]

Yes. Slap a good fan on that XP90 and you're set.

As you've already read, though, monitor temps closely if you decide to go that high. Do you know the stepping of the chip?

i felt ripped off when my stock heatsink with my athlon x2 939 didn't come with the heatpipe heatsink.

umm... i think he's referring to the 165 specifically.

it's not general advice for CPU's, because 1.55 volts would toast most modern CPU's.

Oh, if he asked in that context then I misinterpreted. Yeah, 1.55v for 90nm K8's.

Hmm ok, It happen to come with the XP90. 90mm fan though.. hmm.. powerful one.. hmmm.. dame it, more money..

 

[taltamir]

people still use dual cores? what is this, the stone age? ;p
joking aside, congrats on your upgrade op.
