Finished testing

I've finished testing my Opteron 170 and TeamGroup memory for now. I've run dual-SP2004 numerous times. I know what the limits are for both the CPU and the RAM. 290X10 (183 divider) seems rock stable with air-cooling. The CPU is capable of much higher speeds. But it's impossible to test with dual-Prime because the extra voltage needed generates too much heat. Hopefully when I switch to watercooling, I'll be able to run extensive tests at 3GHz.

Still waiting for a Yonah motherboard to go along with my Yonah CPU. I think they will be out shortly. Still debating which DDR2 memory to get. I think it will either be a Corsair or Super Talent.

No, who's he?

Thanks for info. There's an article (with photos) on the Super Talent factory in San Jose, California.
