Overclocking on socket 940

I just scored two Opteron 265's on ebay for $64... I've heard of people, okay actually one specific person, oc'ing on a specific 940 mobo up to 2.7 or something. Anyhow, this will make a great, cheap, quadcore cruncher!

Anyone remember his name or have some info for me? Thank
 
Your best OC shot with 2p Opty 265s would be the MSI KT8 Master2 FAR

The Gigabyte GA-7A8DRH v2 may get you a stable OC.

You need to research fully everything from form factor, power supplies, ram, cpu support, etc. if you are going to succeed. This is not a ""plug and pray"" project 🙂

You may be able to find an 'AGP pro' card which will work well with the MSI. I would also verify the stock HSF (heat pipes) clearance on the MSI

I've got a Tyan Tiger K8WE with a pair of Opty 275s that is one fine rig. I think it's the best mobo for your 265s but not really an OC powerhouse. It's not worth f'king up with a software OC - lol

 
I have a Tyan K8WE S2877, no single BIOS options so I used software. I'm running dual 270's at 2.31ghz, runs 24/7 stable as can be. Anything higher it will drop like a rock, mainly because the software is bumping HTT.

I haven't found a single board that has decent bios oc'ing to get that far.

What software are you using ???

There was a thread a few weeks ago where someone claimed they got AMD Overdrivve to work on a s939 - can't remember which mobo. All I know is it wouldn't run on my MSI nf4
 
A friend of mine had an Asus board that IIRC had BIOS overclocking features. He built it originally around four years ago with a pair of single core Opterons, and later upgraded to dual dual-core. I think it used an Nvidia Nforce 4 Pro chipset and was the Asus K8N-DL board.
