Opty 144, max stable oc.

[chris21adan]

I've reached some pretty nice speeds out of this system. It's an Opteron 144 (0545 MPMW). I paid almost 160 dollars for it so I'm satisfied. http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/3968/oc5fr.jpg

NiCe!!!

Wow holy voltage batman! I'm surprised your Zalman keeps it that cool. My 144 does 2.8 GHz @ 1.44V; maybe I should try higher, but I woudln't go any higher than 1.6V personally...

damn, my 144 did 2.68 at 1.55V but i'm running it at 2.55 at 1.475V. i'm dissapointed, i guess i got a bad chip.

I am working on a system with an opty 144 right now.
CACJE
The mobo tops out first at 280- tforce 6100
I've got the opty at 9 x 280 with 1.325V.

Nice OC, but I am doubting that temp...at 1.65v and 44c....hmmmmmm

 

[chris21adan]

LoL, no reason to doubt the load temps. If there was a way to prove it I would. Give or take the full load hovers around 44c.

1.65 v.... I didnt think the asus boards went that high, I know that the premium tops out at 1.5 for some strange reason..

I just got a new Opteron 146 myself. Got it from Monarch this Monday. Very pleased so far. I can run it up to 3.2ghz @ 1.57v for some superpi 1M fun, but I'll have to try a 150mhz memory divider and maybe more voltage to maybe get it stable. 3.1ghz is running well for me so far. Primed 3.0ghz at 1.525v for 10hours without error. Might even be able to use less voltage. CPU runs a bit hot though. My Venice idled at 21-22C and loaded at 30C under this water cooling. This Opteron idles at 28C and loads 39-40C under prime.

Very nice oc Jhatfie! I'm very happy with my 1,150+ Mhz oc. I'm currently in the process of replacing my Evga 7800GT for a 7900GT btw. Hopefully I'll be able to run Call Of Duty 2 at 1024x768 maxed out and get at least 40+ frames constantly.

Very nice OC. and nice temps too.

 

[Extelleron]

On stock voltage, max I get is 2.4 GHz More voltage didnt seem to help, either.

Nice OC, prince. I am looking to get an Opty pretty soon. I hope I get a chip like that. Do you think that having 10x or 11x multiplier could bring that up to 3.0ghz.

 

[chris21adan]

In my case, the ram is most likely holding it back a little. As long as you have a great motherboard that handles overclocks nicely, you should be fine with a 9x multi.
