Fluence’s Opteron 170 Overclocking Adventure

…So I decided to burn in core1 for a few days. So am running cpuburnK7 every night for about 6-7 hours now. Then turn it off for the day and try again in the evening. I’m now at the point I only need 1,45 vcore for both cores to let Prime run for hours on 2600Mhz…so I hope I can run 2700Mhz at vcore 1,520-1,540 So the temperature stays well beneath 50 degrees. I am really happy with this CPU, my aquamark was already 107.000 at 2500Mhz…

144 and 146 seem to be all the rage lately, but for Dual Core, then the 170 is a definite option. You can check out the full thread of the oc’ing experience at Hardware XL.
