Opteron 165 CCB1E 0608MPMW

[compgeek89]

So I got my 0608MPMW, was not even quite stable @ 1.55v/2950! But little wonder... load temps were 52C+

So I delidded the thing, my first delidding ever, all went well:

Now 1.55v gets me 3030mhz and 42C

Im happy, I only paid $350 and I knew I was getting an 0608


EDIT: FYI Im on H2O

1.55v is still higher than i'd like to push the chip, but for 3Ghz i might not care that it burns out in 2 years

 

[compgeek89]

With my temps 1.55v is fine.

And I'll have a new chip within a year probably (with conroe and AMDs next gen coming out), so its not a big deal really anyway.

 

[Bobthelost]

Not true, voltage damages the chip independantly of the temps, there was a thread on it with contributions from a couple of intel engineers a while back.

 

[compgeek89]

Yes, but not in a notable amount of time.

 

[lopri]

For 3.0GHz dualies, I wouldn't mind 1.55V. Nice OC there. Is that electirical tape around the core btw?

Edit: I still can't get over how big that core is.

 

[compgeek89]

Yes, to protect the SMDs

 

[lopri]

Is that OK? I'm asking you because I've just popped off my 148's IHS. Not much improvement in clocks but temp surely dropped.

 

[compgeek89]

Yes, I wouldnt use the CPU without it when the IHS is off, just risky.

 

[compgeek89]

Alright, 3025mhz/1.53v on my new DFI Ultra-D -> SLI-D

Full Rosetta! (For XtremeSystems )

 

[Doctorweir]

Very nice OC
For those who want a clear shot of the "big core" including tool used and crappy AMD thermal paste here one from my IHS removal: Opty IHS off

EDIT: For comparison, the little Winchester-core : Winnie (ok, this photo is messed up, too )

 

[Xcobra]

huge core compared to the winnie, now thats a monster

 

[zephyrprime]

Holycow. Is a 10C drop just from removing the IHS common or is that just some sort of thermometer mistake?

 

[compgeek89]

Thise are the temps reported by my mobo sensor before and after removal.

well it depends, i would say that at least a 10C drop would happen at FULL load temps...like me, i was getting close to 60C and it dropped down to about 40 but idle are about 34-35...not bad at ALL!!

what H2O are you using? Voltage seems kinda high for a 0608 CCB1E (for reference, mine need ~1.47-1.49V on air). Does lower voltage not pass prime? are you sure you aren't stressing mem too much?

 

[compgeek89]

lower voltage does not. stressing the mem at 150mhz? :roll:

 

[Absolute0]

See you finally moved up to a DFI, nice

ummm, seeing as MOST 0608 CCB1E owners can get 2.9GHz at near stock voltage, I found your particularly CPU as either 1) an anamoly or 2) user error.

Since you are using water, the cooling should be sufficiently taken care of, although I am still curious what component you are using.

To the point, if you are stressing your your memory controller too much, especially with the added heat, necessitating more voltage, maybe you should back down the mem just to make sure. might want to go to a 166/133 divider or higher latencies. Seems still particularly strange you're needing 1.55V to get stability before (again note the reference to my own 0608)...

but hey, if you're a know it all (who posted this as his first OC on XS forums albeit), have fun...

 

[Absolute0]

The way i look at it, if he got to 3 Ghz it isn't user error. It isn't that hard to believe that the CPU takes a full 1.52v to run 3 Ghz lol. A few months ago people were passing out when they saw 3 Ghz prime stable on a dual core.

It may make it slightly below average for 0608MPMW results, delidded on water. But, it's still good. I had 165 CCB1E 0550VPMWs and with the IHS on they were pretty much in the low to mid 2.9x range... so we've come a long way.

 

[compgeek89]

My first delidding, not OC :roll: And Ive even used delidded CPUs before, but I got them delidded. Try reading.

It was 2850 on stock voltage.

I was using a 100mhz RAM divider, that about takes care of that.

Im using a DD D5, DD TDX, 184x184 heater core with 4 92mm fans. Happy?

3.0GHz is one thing, but 2950 needing 1.55V?

Just trying to help, but hey... no worries on me.

 

[compgeek89]

That was before the IHS came off. Temps were too hot to remain stable.

Yeah, 2.95 Ghz 1.55v too hot before delidding

delidded and then 3 Ghz with 1.52v

he said it in the first post
