Hey Guys,
I've been playing around with the Opteron 144 that Zebo sent me. So far, the best I've been able to do is 2.8ghz (311HTT, 9x multiplier, 3x HT multiplier, DDR266 (DDR400 effectively)).
It seems as though my motherboard is holding me back from going higher. The chip is at a modest 1.475v right now and stable at 2.8ghz. I tried booting at 2.88ghz (320HTT) and it would not run Prime for more than 5 minutes (but it booted into Windows just fine).
So...I'm wondering if my motherboard is holding me back, and if there's anything I can do to work around the ~311HTT limitation.
I'm curious as to why I've been forced to use a 9x multiplier when the chip runs on an 11x multiplier by default...
