Surfing the net I found that opty 185 can easily hit 3ghz, I was trying to do that with a 285.
I am setting up a period correct AMD rig, in particular the most powerful 2005 PC, so I am looking for a pair of g92 cards (or two gx2) for SLI, maxing out a cheap Opty 285.
Using 939 is a no go because cpus are way too expensive and don't like 8gb of ram.
The Foxconn I found seems perfect and really full of Features so I stick happily with it.Interesting. Maybe your cooling is better than mine. Or maybve your motherboard more robust. What CPU voltage are you using and what are you overclocking on the motherboard, e.g. the buses, memory, etc?
The memory is set to 333mhz, no overvolt on it obviously.
The Opty is at 2.860mhz 220x13 at 1.4volt. I fail to be Rock solid at 230x13 even with 1.5v. I don't want to go over 1.5.
The Foxconn has some nice options for overvolting about everything but I have not touched the chipsets yet (there are two nforce pro chips).
