ALL s939 OPTERON Steppings and Average Overclocks

[901-Memphis]

So i have seen this asked a few times, and albeit there are fewer new opterons available i thought i would post a little bit of the info from the wikipedia that i thought would be useful to others when choosing an opteron. I have always found this information helpful when asking about opteron steppings, and credit is due to wikipedia. I will update with other information when i get my hands on it.

Socket 939 Opteron (UP)

• Can be used in almost all standard Socket 939 motherboards. (although this may not be officially supported).
• Based on the San Diego core as found in the FX57
• Locked multiplier.
• Very good overclocker (except for the CABGE stepping which was merely average). 2.8-3ghz has been reported frequently although as always this is not guaranteed.
• At the moment there is a shortage of these processors.
• 3.6ghz has been reached using the 146 on a modded mach1 phasechange systems.
• Socket 939 Dual-core Opterons use the Denmark Core.

I have personally owned a 3 opterons in the past few months.

144 = CACJE 0605 BPBW
146 = CAB1E 0614 EPAW
165 = CCBBE 0616 XPMW

All of them did over 2.5 on stock volts, and most of them i could get stable at 3 ghz with some form of voltage on air cooling, so a good opteron stepping can get you a lot!



Good list of 165 overclocks and rare steppings.

YEAH 901-Memphis

Just hope it helps some people, as im a very big fan of the opterons and i have yet to have a bad experience.... well except i fried one of my 144s... LOL too much voltage, but cheers. I hope to add any other info i can, im looking for really good info though, such as more databases.

[DasFox]

I got a LCB9E 0646RPMW, what's with this stepping, not on your list?

THANKS

[manwithahat]

Is this really a denmark core? cpu-z reports mine as a Toledo core

Good informative post though, I love my Opty 165... I just got it about half a month ago and switched from an Intel p4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz... I love it! although there isn't a huge windows difference... I think the hyperthreading helped alot as opposed to a true single core.. anyway, gotta love AMD for the Opteron

[itznfb]

Denmark = Toledo and DasFox you don't have an Opteron that is why it's not on the list. and this didn't really need a thread considering it on EOCF's wiki
http://wiki.extremeoverclocking.com/...eron_Steppings

as well as more than enough information in the stickies. if someone is still asking about it then they should be ignored.

[manwithahat]

I see now, thanks, Same core, they just "re-badged" it with a different name, it's the server version of the denmark

From what i have seen the cores that shipped with this stepping are very good, but im not sure if they are as good as the best CCB1Es though.

Ok thanks, not sure when your FSB MAX is 320 how you're going to get a higher clock anyways.

Whats the 320 max on, the board or the chip itself?

What are you talking about I don't have an Opteron? I'm holding the box it's a Opteron 165.

Well I'm still learning some on overclocking, what do you mean the chip, what chip?

I lowered the multi down to like 8x and put the Divider on 200 and cranked it up till she wouldn't go and found that 320 was the MAX on the FSB.

So based on this test I'd assume this means the board.

I have the same LCB9E Opteron 165

As i said initial results show its a pretty decent stepping, but you can let us know what your chip is hitting it would help.

Chip?

What you mean the MAX for the CPU?

THANKS

Yeah what's he talking about we don't have Opterons, LOL.

These are Opterons, smack that guy upside his head, LOL.

well, according to AMD, it's not an Opteron. i think they would know better than you would. the CB memory controller is a X2 memory controller. not opteron. at best you have a X2 badged as an opteron. when taking their OCing results into account, again, they OC like X2's, not opterons.

Crap so I should return it?

I want a REAL Opteron....

Additional Comment:

Actually I'm calling NewEgg and returning this. Forget that, this is NOT RIGHT of AMD to do this, and call it an Opteron if it isn't.

[itznfb]

honestly, it looks like extra X2's, with more cache, re-badged. it's a common X2 stepping, and there is now way an X2 and an Opteron would have the same stepping. AMD stopped producing something that was still high in demand. what do you expect? i wouldn't return it. you won't get anything out of returning except maybe a original opteron stepping that performs .5s better in superpi.

So just keep it the differences are marginal?

[killert]

I have a CACJE stepping 148

Its stable 2.6Ghz stock volts
Stable at 3.025GHz at 1.5v
Validation run @ 1.625v I've hit 3.355Ghz
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=151569

I run on air

[DasFox]

I spoke to AMD today, according to them a dual core CPU from them is a X2.

So Opty dual cores are X2s....
