Just poured 1.5 volts into my opteron 165---prime fails in a minute. So, looks like I'm stuck at 2.61 @ stock voltage. I still find this amazing to hit such a wall....the only thing I changed was the voltage and the ram divider (from 9/10 to 5/6). Thoughts?
For what it's worth, I notice a large difference while multi-tasking. In fact, I can run two instances of my statistical software for bootstrapping (one for each core). I would recommend anyone upgrading at this point to go dual core, especially for the applications you've mentioned. Gamers...
I'm gonna go for a short run at seeing what this chip can do up to 1.55 volts, but I have a feeling it's going to be diminishing returns (if any) from here on out.....what are people's experience with burn-in with these processors? Maybe I'll have better success down the road?
My ram is on a 9/10 divider on a 290 HTT (i.e., 262 Mhz) with fairly loose timings(3-4-4-8). Memtest has run 10 passes at this setting and it checks out. Temps are also low (23 idle, 40 load). Maybe I'll push the volts to 1.5 for a short while to see what it does. It seems that 2.7 shouldn't...
Nice work:D. I have the same stepping from Monarch and am at 2.6Ghz on stock voltage. At 2.7 Ghz, prime crashes within a minute. I upped the voltage to ~1.45 without any better success. Should I stop, or keeping upping the volts? I'm happy with 2.6Ghz (especially at stock voltage and it's...
