Dav0s Opteron 146 Overclock Results!

[|3ourne]

gj Dave ! What are the temps like ?

 

[Dav0s]

hovering about 50C loaded, but my fan sucks, need a pana

2.8 on that ram is pretty damn good

 

[Waffles]

try a divider and see how far the cpu can go. dividers don't hurt performance on amd CPU's, only bandwidth a bit.. but if bandwidth is the same and cpu is faster, you have better performance

 

[Dav0s]

ive been running a divider if you look. anyway i tried a real low divider this morning, and still wont go past 2.8, so im thinking maybe i topped the chip out

That's a pretty hellish overclock on that chip though mate... It's 2ghz stock right?

 

[Dav0s]

correct mr frag - 10 points

now at 2.8GHz but have reached a bottleneck with this ram it kinda sucks for ocing

But it didn't cost you anything and that's not a bad overclock on infineon chips.

Nope

Geil

Geil Value PC3200 Blue (2.5-3-3-6 for 256MB & 512MB sticks, 3-4-4-8 for 1024MB sticks): Most are Infineon chips, very few are Hynix

and I know those are infineon because they used to be mine

yah, did you get a nice overclock out of them?

 

[PV5150]

I certainly did mate, that's what was in my P4 system before my Geil UP PC4400. Anyway I'd better not hijack this thread, sorry Dave

fucking hell, i just put 1.7v into this chip and it still wouldnt clear 2.85. i sense something else is at fault
