Opteron 1210@3.15GHz :)

[earlmred]

Just thought I'd share my first PC build in a few years ...

First the specs:

Opteron 1210 1.8GHz
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
MSI 8600GT
(3) Seagate 7200.10 500GB in RAID 5
(2) Viewsonic Optiquest Q20wb LCDs
(4) 1GB Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066
Tuniq Tower 120
Coolermaster Centurion 534 Case
Coolermaster Real Power Pro 650W
Lite-On DVDRW LH-20A1P DVD Burner

At first I was running 8GB of DDR2-800 and stock HSF, however I wasn't able to get beyond 2.5GHz stable.

Upon installing the Corsair Dominator and Tuniq Tower, I have the 1210 at 3.15GHz stable, and am getting about 13GB/s of memory bandwidth according to Sandra.

I'm seeing 38/37C idle temps on each core, and 57/58C load temps in Core Temp 0.95.4.

Here is a link to my cpu-z validation:cpuz

I'm running at 345x9, don't think I could push much higher even with water cooling ...

I may try lapping/removing the IHS and lapping the Tuniq Tower. Any ideas/suggestions for more speed would be appreciated

Otherwise, I'll just wait until AM2 quadcore drops.

Grats on the opty.

Looks like you will be waiting for the B2 stepping then

um, a 75 % oc on an am2 system is great. you should be happy with that until phenom comes out.
