Finally, managed to get the following config working as it should:

- DFI lanparty Ultra-D SLI
- Opteron 165, revision: JH9-E6, stepping 2
- 4 x 512 mb ddr500 kingmax = 2gb total
- 7900GT Asus
- onboard sound/lan
- 250gb hitachi sataII, maindrive
- 160gb hitachi sataII, secondary
- Coolermaster stacker 810
- Coolermaster 550W PSU
- Zalman CNPS 7700 Al-Cu cooler
- 20.5" Philips 200W6 1680x1050
- 17" Samsung 174T 1280x1024 secondary (same height as the philips)
- Logitech G5
- Logitech G15 keyboard (I love it)
- External Nec 3550 DVD-RW in USB2.0 case
- 2 x 120mm fans
- Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (with external bay)


Opteron 165 (dual core, 1.8ghz stock) stable at 2700mhz

Multiplier x 8
HTT 338mhz
8 x 338mhz = 2704mhz
voltage 1.568v

Memory at 225mhz (cpu/12)
Cas: 3
Ras to cas: 5
Ras precharge: 5
Cycle time (Tras): 10
TRC: 12
Command Rate: 2T


So far prime stable with Small FFT torture and Blend tests.

The rig is simply flying. After boot everything opens in a split second.

Main thing to do it seems is to get the DRAM configuration done properly. I usally opted for Mid to Mid-slow ram timings because my ram isn't very good and I can't buy anything else where I live...basically stuck with this.

congrats! awesome OC...

Nice. What's your idle and load temps?

 

[dman918]

Nice, but I would check the temps if you are going to have that high of voltage. I stopped at 1.425v and got 2601...

 

[Gomce]

temps are from 33-37C idle and general desktop work
to 55c on extreme loads like dual prime torture, one client per core

Which I think is fine. Everything bellow 60C is good in my book.

Good OC, I'm at 2750mhz on a Opty 175 (250x11) @ 1.5v

I got probably one of the worst steppings that you could possibly get for OCing. I think I was lucky getting the OC that I did with the voltage that I did.

Have fun with it

 

[dman918]

Yeah, temps seem fine. Are you running the cooler at 5v or 12v?
