146 0540 or 148 0536

cuda70383 · 11-09-05, 06:28 PM

hi:
i have an asrock 939 that i want to put one of these opterons in:

146 CABYE 0540
148 CABYE 0536

which one to use? the board is limited on vcore.

party animal · 11-09-05, 06:49 PM

put both in, if you can and see which one will clock better, thats the only way to find out. Its like some 3000+ clock better than 3200+ you have to play with each to find out.

cuda70383 · 11-09-05, 07:12 PM

i figured as much and i was wondering if one of the weeks was known to be good or bad

pby5cat · 11-09-05, 09:06 PM

other user findings say both will do 3000mhz but the 0536 needs about 1.6v and the 0540 needs about 1.55v to hit 3000mhz. So i hope u can cool thies puppies.

cuda70383 · 11-09-05, 11:20 PM

hmmm....thx....

gettin' ready to install the 148...(i left the 146 @ work)

i told meself to be happy w/2.8 - 2.9 that way if i hit 3.0, i'll be happy

Go with the 146. These are consistently doing very well. I have a CABYE 0540 and I'm currently trying to stabilize 3 GHZ on air.

cuda70383 · 11-09-05, 11:36 PM

even w/the asrock which has some limitations? thought i'd try and get a little more w/the xtra multi

specifically what type of air cooling? (e.g. whatheatsink?)

cuda70383 · 11-10-05, 11:44 AM

for now stock...this started out as a low budge upgrade....until this opteron frenzy started

ChonChon · 11-10-05, 11:46 AM

WHOA! 2GHz to 3GHz on STOCK??? thats inSANE! (good luck with that man! bt if i were , id even be happy with 2.8 or 2.9)

I just got a 148, same stepping and week, I have a XP-90 w/ a 90mm tornado full blast. I'm at 2840Mhz stable w/ 1.55V on my ultra D mobo. I'm running 299x9.5 and mem is on 5/6 @ 249 or so 1T 1.5-2-2-4. Temps are idle at 38'C and load 50'C. But it will not boot at 2850, I think I need that 1.6v on it and some better cooling. Good luck.

cuda70383 · 11-10-05, 12:28 PM

chon- yep, i'll be revisting the hsf as temps dictate

t- will review your timings when i'm testing....thanks for the info

T'wolves · 11-10-05, 01:04 PM

I should say i did get it to boot at 2850 but with different memory timings, however, prime95 failed after 20 minutes. And due to temps i didnt want to go higher with the voltage. So I stopped there and shot for the highest ram divider/fsb I could get and maintain stability 2800-2840.

g0dM@n · 11-10-05, 02:02 PM

I have a strong feeling that a lot of you don't realize how much of an affect that the LDT multi, and the memory dividers have. I have been playing with those, and lowering my CPU multi more than anything else.

You guys need to stabilize high HTT first, and then play with the higher CPU frequencies. Anything after about 2800mhz can be affected by the mobo... I can't break 343htt (x9 on my 144) without using the 2.0x LDT.

cuda70383 · 11-10-05, 02:16 PM

you got that right g-man! i'm coming from xp-m, so all i know is vcore, multi, vdimm & fsb!

i need to take a look @ the A64 sticky on oc'ing .... too many variables to just wing it.

any advice is appreciated.

thanks!

cuda70383 · 11-11-05, 01:57 AM

downloaded the ocwb1 bios for the asrock and am running memtest @ 9 x 280....so far so good on the 148 cabye 0536

T'wolves · 11-11-05, 10:32 AM

Well an LDT of 3x should let u run up to 333 HTT, g-man, your at 343, so that explains why you 2x LDT. However I am running at 299HTT, at 300HTT and 3xLDT, that is only 900Mhz, not 1000Mhz like the default for the cpu and mobo. I can turning it down anyways, but how much is that goin to hurt performance?

nnexuss · 11-16-05, 07:48 PM

Any news about 148 0536?
