Sickest 170 Clocks Ever

[Absolute0]

Thought i should share this, popped the top on my 170 and it has made a big difference, now i have access to higher voltages and i can keep load temps below 40c. Using custom watercooling in my signature, MCP600 pump and an old TDX.

Prime-able at 3.2 Ghz with 1.56v

Run it 24/7 at 3.15 with 1.53v, folding Rosetta

all bios settings for the screenshot

Ram - 166 divider, 2.7 Vdimm
320x10
3x LDT multiplier
1.55 + 104%
1.3v LDT, 1.6v chipset

That's literally all i changed, no tweaking.

CPU is CCB1E 0550VPMW 170, 49c maxTcase, 0290 batch #
Rest of specs in sig

Nice overclock. The Opteron madness just doesn't stop . . .

what kind of temps were u getting before with the ihs?

 

[Absolute0]

With ihs

1.4v = 41c laod
1.48v = 44c load
1.56v = around 47c load
1.60v = around 51c load

ihs removed
1.48v = 37c load
1.53v = 39c load
1.56v = 40c load (ambients are down a couple degrees for the screenshot)
1.60v = 42c load

So you see it holds load much better with a naked core

damn nice!!!

sell me it, so u can add it to your sig at the bottom! (no seriously!!)

great OC, wish i had the balls to take the IHS off!!!

 

[Absolute0]

Thx

IHS off helps a lot, i mostly recommend it for those on watercooling though, as any waterblock is very easy to mound on a naked core. And it really pushes load down, with a naked core it is hard to get load over 40, especially if you're running a single core. I had a 3000+ venice naked, and i could pump 1.7v and still have it load at 38c.

Nice OC, must run like a mad man at 3.2. But this is the first time I heard people taking IHS off, that's neat. Looks like it works too, congrads!

taking the ihs off is very easy. read over on DFI-Street for a video tutorial. it literally takes only two minutes to get one off.

 

[ronnystrauss]

what do you mean naked core? you took off the thermal glue or something?

I think this one is sicker than yours.

lol

That is mine, look at the backgrounds. I got mine from the seller foureverquest and told him he could use my screenshots to sell more. Man, you should have noticed, who else has a giant picture of Eric Cartman in the background

As for the 3.47 Ghz screenshot, it is mine and validated under my name. And AFAIK it is still the world record overclock for a dual core Opteron.
