An Opteron Revealed
 

Opteron With the top popped off.

Second Series

Third Series

Fourth Set

30 Minutes of Dremel time and carefully inspecting the plate along the way and TWL was able to remove the IHS without cracking the core or ceramic substrate.

As you can see in picture 7, AMD is indeed using a thermal material under the IHS. This thermal material upon closer inspection seems to be a silver compound of some sort, but extremely thick.

real interesting.. thx for the pics ;)

We will also be having a 939 review shortly.

nice... :biggrin:

Do you think there may end up a way that we can mod the 64 processors to unlock the multipliers like we could with the old XPs?

nice

oh cry gnogtr.. I got a ghz w/o playing with the multiplier.. if you have leet skillz you don't need em ;)

I haven't tried to see if my multiplier is locked.. prob is :P

Well, I don't want to mess with the volatges too much, I know it'll got much higher, but like I said...

I used to keep my voltage at auto.. but i t would jump between voltages like crazy.. so i set it to 1.65
