AFAIK TYAN makes great server boards but they don't usually put any overclocking features into their boards. so I don't see a way for you to clock that thing.
What chipset is that board running, check out clockgen on www.cpuid.com

Keep in mind that Opterons, on average, are already 25% faster than Bartons at the same clock speed. And you've got two of them. And you paid a lot for them.
I hate to say it, but I would be content with a pair of those at stock speed. Do you really want to take the risk?

In my sig, dual Opt 242 on MSI Master 2 FAR, doing pretty good, but I'd love to have 2 246 
, wanna trade?? anyways pics in the SMP section. The chips I have one will run 15 mhz extra the other one only 10. I found that out by running them one at a time.

i am very happy with my box, i was just curious. it seems like no matter how fast a box i get it's just never fast enough, but even when i am pegging both procs it is very responsive.
nn : i'm assuming you haven't noticed any weirdness w/ your chips running at diff speeds? does the msi board you have have shared or indie ht busses?

they're not running at different speed, I tested to see what's the limits are on them then run them at the limit of the slower one, since my board does not have the option to oc each one, it's either all or nothing. And the MSI board I have shared the memory banks. So responsive I love it ...
