Is a AMD Opteron 142 1.6ghz Socket 940 Clockable?

THRASHER2 · 20-November-06, 08:36 PM

I found a Sweeet deal on a Amd Opteron 142 (osa142atbox) 1.6ghz Socket 940 for $59.
Is this socket worth getting?

Thanks

Thats a good deal. Thats the server board version for like the Tyans, but you could prolly make a lil profit if anything.

Probably not, unless you get one of the (Now) rare FX 940 Motherboards from the FX-51~53 era, wich will in turn require expense ECC ram, of wich there are VERY limited choices for stuff that OC's

If you can find some of the above on ebay cheap enough..then yeah you could OC it, but IMO not worth the hassle, it's not like you will probably get to see 3GHZ with it!
