New update...

New chip...
CPU Type: Opteron 165
Stepping: CCBBE 0610 DPMW
Best Stable OC: 2800
VCore: Stock Volts
Temps: Idle 34 - Load 46

And SN I'm still testing this and Im still on stock volts. Hopeing to hit over 2.8 still on stock and top out at like 3. These newer chips with the new IMC's are great.

I'm still wondering why so many people are hitting 2.8Ghz or more on stock voltage, and I have to ramp up to 1.6v to get stable :(
Luck of the draw. Just doing a quick scan there are 3x 0546 chips on the list - 2 are running only 2700 and one is at almost 3000. Of those, one 2700 and the 3000 are pulling 1.55v or more. I'd say that makes yours average for that week ...
 
CPU Type: Opteron 165
Stepping: N/A
Best Stable OC: 3.0 Ghz, could go higher I'm sure.
VCore: Still testing, I run at 2.7, until I get better cooling, with 1.3 voltz could go lower.
Temps: 44C atm...gets super hot when overclocked higher.
 
Mate, sorry about the delay. I have 3 systems I'm working on ATM and I'm reviewing a PSU (in my sig). I'll have partial updates done by tomorrow. :)
 
CPU Type: Opteron 152
Stepping: CABCE 0512UPMW
Best Stable Overclock: 3025MHz (OCCT/SP 32M)
VCore: 1.50
Temps: Idle: 36 / Load 52

Benches at 3090MHz w/1.50v. I'm sure there's lots more under the hood with more voltage, but I'm not comfortable going there due to heat issues.

i'm at 1.36V running 254x11 ~2795 Mhz
these CACJE chips do pretty well, now when i get some new ram i'm sure it'll go alot further
 
Opteron 170
3d stable 2875+
2d stable 2930
CCBWE0530TPMW naked, first batch out.
Watercooling w/1.525 to 1.550 maximum needed depending on game or not game.

Temps: Idle 38°C & Load 48°C

Can OC more but already at 2750 needs ~1.45V
In progress
 
Opteron 146

great chip!

edit:brought down my voltage, testing right now.
