Just recieved my Opteron 165 and got Stepping LCB9E which isnt the best one for overclocking from Newegg California Warehouse as of 2/15 if anyone is interested on which they seem to have right now.

I received the same stepping from Newegg California this past Tuesday. I am able to hit 2.7 @ 1.45v and my load temps are around 50C on air. Ran Orthos for 9hr (cpu + ram). I can go a little higher (2.8-2.9 @1.5v-1.6v) but it's not too stable and my load temps are around 58C-60C. I guess it's OK. I was hoping for a CCBBE.
 
Coretemp on my CCBBE 0610DPMW @ 310x9 1.35v is giving me ~36C at idle, 56C Orthos on Core 0 and 59C on Core 1 with an XP-90 and ~2600RPM 92mm fan. Case airflow is decent.. popping open the side doesn't make a difference in load temps.

It feels like maybe the heatsink's just not seating tighly enough, since pushing down firmly on the sink drops the load temps to ~50C on both cores, but shaving down the bracket a mm or two didn't seem to make any difference.

I might just give up and pop off the IHS or get a bigger bolt-down like the TTBT or Tuniq.
 
I think most of the Opteron 165 hit around 2.6~2.8 on average. The better ones of course hit 3.0. I have a Tuniq, but can only hit tops 2.8. Processor just would not budge after 320x9.
 
Howry: no, that's w/ an XP-120 and I was wrong about my temps. 55C and 58C (using coretemp) Orthos full load.


I'm getting rid of my 165 and getting a 170. I should get it Monday. I hope I get a decent stepping that can at least reach the same speed and possible more w/ less voltage.
 
I haven t seen anyone get a ccbbe from newegg since xmas. I should probably sell mine, I m stuck at 2.0Ghz on the EVGA Nf4 mobo... either that or switch back to my TForce and get a better single card.
 
Dang it. I'm just plain not comfortable with borderline 60C temps.. sounds like it's pretty much normal at this point with this cooler? I'm also noticing that my motherboard overvolts - 1.35v in BIOS comes out to 1.37-1.39v in practice, and the DDR overvolts by 0.4v too.

I also had already lapped my HSF before, since it was concave - I gave the IHS a quick and dirty lap job (at least it's flat now!), and it pretty much didn't change anything on the temps, though now the 4 heatpipes are evenly warm.

So I'm probably going to order a Tuniq ($55+tax) or TTBT ($50+tax) from SVC and pick it up on the way home from work to skip on shipping. I can't decide between the two easily (factoring in mobo/pwm cooling and mounting system on 939), though. It's either that or pop off the IHS and hope for a temperature miracle. I know it can go higher, but I don't want to at 60C+ load.
 
When I ordered mine back in December I got a CCBBE, it overclocks like mad.
 
another CCBBE happy owner... i got mine right when AMD lowered the price.. when ever that was....
 
got an opty 165 ccbbe originally, hit 2.7, then died (even at stock, constant reboots), then rma'd...got an LCB9E, running 2610 right now, 1.4v, 35C idle, 41c load. specs in sig
 
Interesting. I have a lcbe stepping and I'm capped at 290 as well. I thought it was maybe my mobo, but it looks like it might be the cpu.

According to the reviews, several people have been getting CCBBEs from the TN warehouse lately. Still gives me a warm fuzzy that I had the first reported CCBBE :D
 
i love my 0610 ccbbe. does up to 3ghz and right now im undervolted to 1.325 bios and 1.29v windows which idles ~25 and loads 35c under watercooling :)
 
My brother just got a CCBBE 0610DPMW from the Tennessee warehouse yesterday. Got through Orthos overnight a 2.8ghz at 1.38V, mid-50's temps on the hot core with a 9500 Zalman. Needed 1.45V to get 2.9ghz stable for at least 7 whole minutes in Orthos, as 1.42V failed in about 2 minutes, before we decided 64C on the one core was waaay too much heat. So I got all excited and decided to order one myself and where's mine coming from?, California :mad:, though I live one town over from my brother. I hope I get a good one. And prices just went up $16 at Newegg tonight, after I ordered mine thank god.
