I got my now cpu a couple of days a go it is a Opteron 170 dual core. The stepping is CCBWE 0551UPMW any1 know how good these are suppose to overclock I havent found any info about this stepping.

I've done some ocing atm I'm at 2500Mhz with 1.328Vcore wich is stock for this cpu

My temps are atm Load 28c Idle 20c with my Apoge w/c

here is a pic of both my optys


everything @ stock


some mild overclocking to 2400Mhz

the gfx is @ stock in both 3dmark06

Take a look at the chart in POST #2

THere is a 170 CCBWE @ 2600 ... so get working on that and post your stable results

2600Mhz with 1.4Vcore

1:1 gonna try 2.7 now. only downside is that my ram maxes out around 260 will have to see if I can get more out of them

 

[The Duke]

Use a small divider for now to see where the CPU will go

im planning on getting an Opteron 175, an ideas on which steppings are good and, i have one question. if you have 2 cores both at 2.5ghz is that basically 1 core at 5ghz, so can you say you have a 5ghz processor?

btw nice overclock. hope i can get these numbers too.

 

[masterofthepuppets99]

no it doesnt add up like that, you have two processors running at 2.5ghz thats what you say

 

[u.c.i.n.e.x.]

but it performs like a 5 ghz singlecore??

 

[laboitenoire]

no, it performs like a two 2.5GHz single-core. The dual cores aren't utilized by most apps.

 

[Namrac]

You will have a 2.5GHz core doing one thing, and a 2.5GHz core doing another thing. Until programs become multi-threaded and compleatly utilize dual core technology, that's the way it will work.

I also have an Opteron 170. I don't know what the stepping is though, I was too excited and just put in my MoBo and covered it up with my heatsink as fast as I could and booted up.

I've got mine running at 2700MHz, 1.6V and it's always turned on running BOINC/SETI 24/7 - even when I'm playing games.
48 - 50 degrees celcius - full load 24/7 (air cooling - Thermalright XP-90c)
I'll check out the stepping tomorrow - I have been curious myself as to what stepping I actually have.

I can achieve my 2700MHz two ways - 10 x 270 & 9 x 300.
Both are stable, but 10 x 270 proves to be faster with it's lower memory timings.

any1 know what the max voltage is for dual cores

 

[u.c.i.n.e.x.]

i sure do!

 

[-Jeppe-]

whoops I was asking what is was

 

[u.c.i.n.e.x.]

umm , im guessing you dont wanna go higher then 1.7V even with phase change

 

[Taishan]

I would personally go no higher than 1.6V (unless you have the money to replace it, should something happen to it). You shouldn't run it at over 50C for everyday use as well (with your W/C you shouldn't have a problem doing this). I can personally hit 2.7GHz on air with 44~45C load (depending on ambient - fluctuates wildly in this room) with no more than 1.475V (and that's game and prime stable (at the same time, WinX64)). As you can see in my specs, I have a CCBWE 0546XPMW (Opteron 170), and you have the same mobo that I do. Yours would appear to be falling in lockstep with two others that I've seen on HardForums - possibly one is yours? It said Prime stable for 7 hrs, 1.4V, and W/C...

nah it's not mine

 

[steve!!]

well i seem to think that nearly all AMD dual cores lock up at about 2700mhz whatever the fsb/multi, i have only ever seen one dual core go higher and he had a 4800+ with ocz phase change but he hit 3000mhz (lucky bugger)

I would save the money and just do a 170...both will probably overclock to the same speeds. Unless of course you want to run 1:1 with your memory. But being that the max clocks you can expect are 2.7-2.8, the x10 multi on the 170 should be plenty enough for 1:1 clocks if your memory can run 270-280.

still working on the max. Those are the max temps after 17h priming
