no i meat that the X2 is downwardly unlocked, but i thought that the opterons were all fully locked locked at arround X13 or X11

and all the Ocing guides i've read say you should lower the multi first

Nope, the Opterons like the A64 chips are multi-unlocked downwards. That is, the 165 defaults at a 9x multiplier but will work with an 8x multiplier for example

i heard the ballistix are great unless you push more then 1.8v through it... might of got that figure wrong as my mem knowledge isnt up to speed. All i know is it was .8 and if they pushed to .85 it would go pop

Despite all the deaths mine are still doing ok after several months (2 at 3V then another couple at a more sedate 2.8V)

hedgey · 25 Jan 2006 at 06:38

yours are at 290?? i used to run em 2.5/4/4/8 i think at 250.

DAMN YOU GIBBO!!

Why didn't you let me know you were getting them in?!

What steppings are they?

I'm finding it hard to justify getting one since I just got a 3700SD...

Grr @ Gibbo

aardvark · 27 Jan 2006 at 14:28

excellent news - although i'll be leaving it a month or so - got to get my 7800gt first

lego · 27 Jan 2006 at 14:38

well i'm still waiting for my 165 (not in such a rush found a 146 (CAB2E 0546UPMW)) delivered yesterday

suppose to be with me on the 30th, but if theres no sign of it i may have to pick up a 170. Picked up the 165 for £220 though so an extra 100 notes is a bit of a jump.

Exactly what does "nut me" mean.... (on second thought, never mind...)

Nut me = headbutt.

or a glasgow kiss, as they call it up north.

Anyway gibbo what are the steppings? If it's something quality like a CCB1E 0550 VPMW i am selling my x2 and getting one of these, for sure.

Let us know how you get on with your 170 and have fun clocking it.

... the prices of these dual core Opterons are still a bit steep for the price I paid for my 4400+ anyway... But good luck with it.
