Opteron Socket939 Overclocking Discussion Thread

[eva2000]

Butters best to start with our ballistix threads in 2GB forum 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer Results but for opteron it may differ

ArcTan, bsod are 99% related to memory settings etc

been messing around with my cpu a bit and need some help with ram settings now eva. using 704-bta bios, havent touched the mem settings as I have nfi what would be best.

any tips for using the ballistix and 704-bta bios and any settings I need to change in bios or a64 tweaker?



thanks.

butters what sort of cooling are you on again

Guys what was the difference in mhz between

1. your max memtest bootable and error free few loops at STOCK vcore

vs

2. your max windows bootable and superpi 1-32M at STOCK vcore

for your Opteron ?

i've only tried 2.7GHz but it could be more......i know 2.8GHz was 1.44v but i will try lowering the vcore for 32M run....i think it should be fine......

why is this info important...........

[eva2000]

Cause i just plucked out my FX-57 and plucked in Opteron 144 0536 GPMW #1 into my rig and seeing how far i can memtest at stock AUTO vcore

well just give it 300MHz HTT and see what happens.......use clockgen after that to save you trouble booting

you are on good water...i think (provided chip is OK) you should do 2.8GHz with 1.4V...........seing how well groove's one scales with voltage and entry level cooling i think we are in for a treat here
