Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Dual Core Opteron Overclock...Please Help !!
- Thread starter shkj
- Start date
Before anyone jumps this guy about C2D, please remember which SUB-Forum we're currently in. 
The current crop of Opteron 165's and 170's at Newegg (not sure about other e-tailers), are doing well (check out my sig). You might want to take a look at their website and look through the most recent reviews for each chip. Problem with Steppings is that its not 100% guaranteed, and Newegg, does not list the steppings (unlike other e-tailers, who want to maximize their profits by tempting the enthusiasts with known "OCin" chips).
Best Mobo for OCin s939? DFI Lanparty series... take your pick.
As with all Overclocking... YMMV.
Good Luck.

DFI Lanparty tastes good.
Anyways, like stated above any of the Lanparty series mobos will do the trick of OCing. My "Toledo" re-badged San Diego OCed to 2.8 and wont go higher, but thats because its not the best stepping available for the A64, the best being the KABNE and KAB2E for single core. But again, the latest batch of 165's OC to 3ghz, if not guaranteed, then a very high probability that it will hit that.

The best way to reach those speeds?
A: do a voodoo dance and pray to every god you can think of
B: buy a used proc guaranteed to his those speeds then get a mobo good enough to handle the HTT.

based on assumption that you are pretty new to hardware and overclocking and the like, I wouldn't go near a DFI lest you wanna be turned off.
the mobo in my sig is very nice and is pushing my x2 to 2.9 as I type this.
