Windows stability is proving to be difficult on the ABIT A8N-Ultra... Got half way thru a SuperPI run and Windows BSOD'ed... Gonna switch to the DFI when I muster up some energy....

Suspecting the ABIT was having issues with TCCD memory at 300, I switched to BH-5 @ 166 1T 2-2-2-5... Vcore: 1.55V; 10X300. Here's 1st Windows data:

The 1st 2 are taxing the memory to their limit on the AN8-Ultra and as such, not too stable.... While the 3ed is lower FSB, the CPU at 3Gig and the slightly tighter timings make this the combination of choice. The Vdimm was 2.9V and probably could have gone lower, but the Vcore needed to be 1.60V to be stable... Right now I'm not SuperPI 32 Million Calcs stable and Prime surely won't run too long as I'm getting a 15°C temp rise at full load... The DFI nF4 running this CPU will probably change things around.
More as it develops. Here is a new personal SuperPI record for the ABIT AN8-Ultra:

I second that! Even my "worst" chip could only do 2.6GHz... on stock voltage! I would think that 2.7GHz is a VERY reasonable goal for any opteron, especially under water. Also keep in mind that the 1MB cache does add around 5% or more performance over a similar clocked Venice (512K) core CPU. So even if you only got 2.6GHz, it would be equivalent to a 2.7GHz+ Venice.
Just make sure you have a good motherboard under it!
