[Sparksnl]

From what I have:
https://www.overclock.net/threads/o...-overclockable-stepping-averages-info.128767/

Post your source for the best Stepping for Amd 64's and Optys

Post your Stepping and o/c for Amd 64's Am2 /939 and Optys can anyone point me in the direction of a good site which lists stepping codes for which cpu's over clock the best

Last link makes me smile for no reason hahahaha
Stunneds playground for sure

 

[Sparksnl]

Yes indeed. Good that this is still there.
This way we can see he is getting old 😜.

 

[The Sandman]

I'm 67 too lol

na, stunned is, was, and ever will be Extreme
good guy

 

[Sparksnl]

47 and counting

 

[The Sandman]

Was kidding.
I'm not 67
Old as the average member

 

[Tzk]

I'm probably one of the youngest members in this subforum. Just a bit over 30

 

[stunned_guy]

Gibt es irgendwo eine Liste, welches alle die guten Steppings und Produktionsdaten sind? Von den beiden genannten kann ich weder in meiner Sammlung noch bei eBay einen erhaschen. Auf jeden Fall habe ich einen 3700+ liegen, der nichtmal 300 MHz Referenztakt schafft.

Auf jeden Fall meine eigenen Listen. Kamen zwar etwas spät raus, aber immerhin.

Ich müsste die Listen am wieder ergänzen. Hätte Lust drauf, aber...
Wenn ich hier sehe, was alles rumliegt.

Does anybody know what the best chipset is for Opteron 200 series?
I saw NF2200, is that any good?

 

[Der Namenlose]

Most of the Boards I saw with some OC were the nForce 2200 variety, like K8N-DL, K8N-DRE and I think the Tyan Tiger K8WE are quite popular.
Very rare but also an option is the MSI K8N Master2-FAR, this one also has the nForce 2200 with several OC options (according to the manual).
Still hoping to find one of these MSI some day, but as I said, very rare to come by.

There is a sister board K8T Master as well, which uses a VIA chipset and I think stunned_guy told me that this one has no OC options whatsoever.

I had one of those Rioworks HDAMA Boards once and I think OC was virtually impossible there.
But maybe I just had the wrong clockgen/setFSB for it, definitely nothing from the BIOS side and the AMD Chipset was probably not a priority for OC back then.

 

[Sparksnl]

I saw some Asus K8N-DRE for acceptable prices. SO these could work out and be Ok. That is good to know.

 

[stunned_guy]

MSI K8T Master2 FAR -> hat im BIOS nur minimale Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Etwas Referenztakt und das wars auch schon.

I can't vouch for the Asus K8N-DRE but I would hope that the BIOS is similar to the K8N-DL, which features at least some basic settings.
From the K8N-DL there is chipset and mem voltage, some memory dividers, basic timing settings and busclock, sadly only +50mV for cpu voltage.

Tyan Thunder K8SRE and Supermicro H8DCE-HTe seem to allow at least some way (software or BIOS) to alter clocks as well.

K8N-DRE got AMI Bios while K8N-DL got Award. Also DRE is missing "fsb" frequency setting in bios, but DL got it. I'd say the boards are quite different.

 

[Sparksnl]

So K8N-DL should be preferred?

This is not the H8DCE-HTe, but the standard H8DCE (without suffix). You can spot the heatsink without fan (-HTe has a fan on that heatsink). Furthermore the topmost slot is PCIex4, not HTe. HwBot has a lot of errors in retro hardware scores, or the members intentionally submit wrong data.

I can tell that the H8DCE does NOT have any overclocking options within the BIOS, except for memory timings and memory divider. Every memory divider above 200MHz (read: 216, 233, 250) reverts back to 200. There is no way to enable hidden settings (I tried it, bricked the BIOS chip and hotflashed it back.) You can try some overclocking via nTune. There is a version that works with Windows 7 x64. I'm not sure if nTune really works, because I only tried overclocking my Dual 290s. An increase of 5MHz on the HT clock crashed the system. Didn't check for maxHT with lowered CPU multi. Maybe it's time to reanimate that 600W heat monster and try some serious stuff


Reasons to use K8N-DL: Overclocking
Reasons to use H8DCE: SLI and maximum amount of memory
The direct competitor to the H8DCE is the K8WE. The latter has a different chipset interconnection layout and needs two CPUs to fully function.

 

[Sparksnl]

Just a quick question. Is there a general thread for the HWBot Teamcup where other parts are being discussed?
(I just remembered I bought 5x Phenom X2 550 BE, 5x Sempron 140 and 5x Sempron 145 and a bunch of the proper DDR2 dimms ealier this year)

 

[Tzk]

Afaik no. There's a HWBot Team Thread, but not a single post since almost 12 months

[Sammelthread] - hwbot.org Team -- HardwareLuxx.de --

Du erste CPU war schon gut aber diese hier?! :bigok: Du kannst mal mit dem RAM rumspielen, WPRIME sollte davon zwar nicht zu sehr profitieren aber Dualchannel könnte schon einen unterschied machen. Bei SuperPi hast du ja auch Dualchannel genutzt, ist ein Kanal ausgefallen?

[lord86]

Hat hier jemand K8N-DL gesagt? 😅

 

[stunned_guy]

Dann lass mal paar Informationen über das BIOS raus Danke

 

[lord86]

Ich schmeiß ihn später mal an und sag Bescheid, viel geht aber nicht

edit:
Hier ein paar Bilder

 

[stunned_guy]

Es geht mehr um die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, weniger die erreichten MHz.

 

[lord86]

Ja, ich meinte auch die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, gerade vcore ist stark eingeschränkt, hab Bilder im Post über dir eingefügt

 

[stunned_guy]

Ok, danke.
CPU +0,50 mV ist mau. Aber das Board ist ja nicht zum Übertakten gemacht.
Das 2. Bild kann man nicht anklicken, da ist der falsche Link drin.
RAM-Einstellungen gehen ja immerhin die Haupttimings, etwas Spannung und Command Rate.
Wieviel kann man beim Referenztakt einstellen ? Sehe nur die Anzeige 200 MHz.

 

[lord86]

Referenztakt ist einstellbar bis 400 mhz

Hier noch das zweite Bild

 

[Sparksnl]

😁😁😁

 

[Tzk]

You gotta be kidding… you bought it for 25 Bucks?

 

[stunned_guy]

Das ist ja unterste Schublade, wer macht denn sowas ? Kannst dich glücklich schätzen. Ist zwar kein so gutes Stepping, aber hey, es ist ein FX-57, was will man mehr

 

[MusicIsMyLife]

aber hey, es ist ein FX-57, was will man mehr

Mmh, vielleicht zwei FX-57? Oder einen FX-57 mit gutem Stepping?

Also mir fällt schon etwas ein, was man mehr wollen würde...

jk, good find/great deal!

 

[stunned_guy]

Öhmmm, da kann ich nicht klagen
