now thats what I wanted to hear =)

Yah I can post passed 310mhz fsb
however I was Incapable of booting to windows.

Do you knwo if the Temps reported in HW Manager in the bios are correct, if so what temps should I try to Stay within.

Man i feel totally noobed right now, im not sure what option to use for locating stock Voltage for Proc and Chipset. Any info on what option to raise and to what woul dbe greatly appreciated, and then of course I will try to test stability (what prgrams suggested for this?)

Storm, are you running the stock chipset cooler? I've had the chipset temperatures reach 70-75C on my DFI board. That may be your limiting factor. You might want to think about purchasing a new chipset cooler if you haven't already. It's been said that the nForce 4 chipset can take temps up to 90C.

The stock voltage for your Opteron 165 is 1.3 - 1.35. The stock chipset voltage should be set at 1.5volts.

Hope that helps

strange last i looked at my Bios settings, i think it showed the CPU at 1.38 Not sure if it is running some auto setting -.- arg so much complication lol

and i do not believe the chipset Voltages were raised, and yes stock cooling including stock opty cooler.

Got a good temp monitor for my Board?

Storm, make sure you manually make the changes in your BIOS. I always take "most" settings off of AUTO.

The stock chipset cooler is not that great in my opinion. It get's the job done but you may run into problems when you starting raising the chipset voltage.

I use Everest to monitor my temperature changes. The version I have shows the PWM and Chipset temps.

Good luck

Jeez, Storm, all this time you've been running on your stock heatsink for your Opteron? We could use you in the Club's Stock Cooler Overclocking Contest!

I sure could use the company in the contest.

It's been a while since I played with a board very close to what you're running (I used to run a LP UT nF4 Ultra-D for my OCing/testing rig). As I recall, you really can get a ton of overclocking headroom by tweaking your RAM settings. The same holds true (actually, more true than ever) with the CFX3200-DR I'm currently playing with (and learning).

For your CPU temperature monitoring needs, I can now again recommend CoreTemp. I've been testing this extensively lately, and it seems the latest version has finally eliminated its tendency of randomly crashing the system due to an illegal memory access. Moreover, it's reading the same DTS (digital thermal sensor) in the cores as Everest does; both programs read the same temperatures identically.

Hope this helps you!

hey i want to try this Contest, so I will need you guys to help out in the next few days with alllllllll the settings )

We'll certainly offer all we can give, Storm.

so i see your Schwartz is as Big as Mine.

nategr8ns · 08-13-08

by the way, the quote is "I can see our swartz are evenly matched" or something like that, right?
maybe you're right after all

StormX2 · 08-13-08

way to not look up the info first =)~

i just pulled it out of my hat

but the exact line is

"You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Let's see how well you handle it. "
