My son's 3200+ runs at 2.3 on water. Assuming the opty oc's well how much faster should his system run? Thanks! I know I could search this but I need to act fast.
Is your son's 3200 a single core? The Opty is a Dual Core proc as well. Just make sure that your board and bios are up to date enough for a dual core proc. They probably are. You will find the Opty to be a pretty darn good proc. I have a 175 on water OCed to 2.65. My mobo is older and I know for a fact that is what is holding back my chip to only 2.65
What kind of board and ram are you using? You should have managed more than 2.3 with a 3200+ with water cooling. I managed 2.5 with an aftermarket cooler with a 3000+ on budget equipment. Anyway back to your question. Without a doubt an overclocked 170 will be a great deal faster than that 3200+.My son's 3200+ runs at 2.3 on water.

WOOOOW! Your son't 3200+ is really a black sheep! My 3000+ gets to 2.3GHz on stock cooler without rising Vcore, but I have a terrible mombo sending me only to 2.0G; what about an exchange :?: :!:My son's 3200+ runs at 2.3 on water.

Enjoy the Opty; they're real beasts, the best K8s ever, real beauties.The Opteron actually likes the Asrock it seems. 2850 and stable after several hours of Oblivian - still in low to mid 40's. No post over 3g. But around 2.8 was my hope and it seems we got it! This is on water BTW. With the the new vid card and the opty my son can crank up all the settings in Oblivian and he's happy as a PIS! Thanks. Great advice!

What model Asrock?
My previous rig was an Opty 170 @ 3.0Ghz, Zalman 9500, MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum, 2Gb Corsair TWINX PC3500LL (Low Latency) DDR 438 @ 2-3-2-6. Best AMD processor I ever had. I can't offer enough praise to the Opty 170. Absolutely amazing CPU! Worth the $190.00? Without question!!!
3 gig! That's a good clock. I see you have a c2d at 3.7, generally, how do thwe two systems compare - big dif moving up to the c2d?
ETA I see you are running raid 0 with 2 raptors. How's that working out for you?
And is that the Matrix raid the p5bd can do? If so what is that exactly?
