Opteron 165

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

There is a guy saying that the new Opteron 165's have been changed so that both cores can't be overclocked

it could be just his cpu

the guy sounds like an idiot

he links to two threads about 'failing 0551 VPMW', one of them is gone, and the other has a core that 'fails at 2.7ghz'

i could be wrong.. but how could there be a week 56 cpu when there's only 52 weeks in a year?

edit: if you look at his stepping, it's clearly week 51

 

[saltedeggman]

the fact that he said that the core failed prime at 1.8 (stock) is hard to believe.... might be defective?

yeah, this guy is really mad...

I agree it is probably a windows driver or BIOS thing. sounds like an updated BIOS and fresh install are in order.

The guy doesn't sound too bright.

Its possible he is using superpi in 1 directory, and running 2 instances, and one of the superpi instances is overwriting the 2nd superpis verify data. I've had that happen, and it took me a good half hour to figure out why it was failing.

I think that there are maybe sure more weeks in China than we have in the West

reported it as an error with super pi (software) that was messing things up for him...
