Opty 170 at 3GHz


I'm testing a second Opteron 170 (0550VPMW). This one seems to be very good. Can run dual-SuperPi at 3GHz and 1.4v. Not Prime stable at that voltage though. I'm running dual-Prime right now at 2.9GHz and 1.4v.

I'm having second thoughts about putting the Tuniq HSF on my board. It's very heavy. Think I will test it first on another board that's sitting flat on a table.

Thanks. With watercooling this CPU should be dual-Prime stable at 3GHz.

You going to remove the top?

No, not going to remove the IHS. But I will watercool it eventually.
