    Late night fun

    I've got myself an Opteron UP146, an ASRock 939-Dual SATA2, some BH-5 and a X800GTO, so of course I needed something do with it all. First off was of course some WXP-install and stuff like that, then I had some fun with the BIOS, which didn't allow me to go past 275HTT. But flashing it fixed a whole lot. Broke 3GHz on air, and some other goodies as well, have a look.




    And of course every system needs its dose of 3DMark, so I had to run it. Shame on the oc though, I never got it stable above freq's above stock, roughly.


    Then I found myself having a bit of trouble with the memories, ol-skool BH-5, they don't seem to like running in dual channels above 250MHz, so I decided to just check what they handle individually. The first one was a bit disappointing to be honest, reaching "only" 270MHz 2-2-2-5 Memtest stable, but the second one... Oh yes. See for yourself.



    At what voltage you ask? Got shocked myself when I first discovered, it was supposed to be 3.8V, but I guess I must have hit the knob on the booster just enough when changing the RAM to make it what it was in the end.


    But the best part undoubtedly was the temperature of the module. It was a bit warm, but not hot. You were easily able to hold your finger on it.
    All this with only a 120mm Delta blowing towards it.

    Gotta say I'm quite satisfied after all, with a system that cost me ~4000SKR, about 500USD.

    That's actually really impressive, especially getting the memories so high

    How's about some PCmark scores?

    Mine are fealing a little low at 6400 in '04 and 4000 in '05

    Just need something similar to compare to, but I should beat you in both with my mutlitasking capabilities.
    OMG I sold my computer... Using my GFs. E4300 on a P5NSLI. NON E version. Yeah, that means it's the one that literally can't do a 10mhz OC. (9Mhz worked... for a while).

    I've actually never ever run a round of PCMark, but if you want something to compare to, I'm in. <Goes to futuremark.com>

    Delph1: Yeah, it was kind of sick, the RAM didn't want to co-op at all in dual channel, the module that ended up going 280MHz was the one failing in dual all the time. I got real pissed, ripped it out and ran the other module only, it proved itself good for only 270MHz. So I figured, I'll just try the other as well, before I sell these pieces of crap.

    But now I'm satisfied, especially as I have some additional ol-skool BH-5 comin' in.

    Reinstall the other stick and put it at 2T. May be under "Command Per Clock" run it as Disabled

    That is the problem I had with my venice.

    Tried 2T back and forth as well. Just can't get it running nice, I'm running the sticks 1T @ 245MHZ 2-2-2-5 atm with some issues with SuperPI. But everything else works just fine, except SuperPI.

    Well, it's a 25mm thick delta, so it doesn't even move air. 3000rpm.:x

    The only new score achieved this night was 29017pts in 3DMark '01. Got all mad on the mem, as it didn't produce the same results as yesterday, at the same clocks. The best SuperPI I got today was a "worthless" 28.5, other than that it was 29s+.
    But gimme some time and I'll crank up the VCore, 1.45V ain't that much to brag about.

    Yours is a dualcore, right? Or did I miss something (didn't read your signature that closely)? Well, your time will return, you had a pretty nice Venice, didn't you?
    Oh, many questionmarks, sorry.

    Yeah, it's the dual 2.2 GHz with 1MB cache per core.

    Basically a 4400+. CPUz reads it as a toledo, which is the 4400+ core, so...

    The venice was nice, but my buddies 3700+ was much nicer. It is basically a OPT 148, and easily hit 3Ghz.

    Well, a complete windows reinstall seems to have fixed it all

    9339 3Dmark05 at 233X11 no OC on cards
    4675 PCmark05 same specs

    For all my hardcore fans out there (yes, step out from the closet, I know you're there), I can now announce some additional milestones.[list]* 27.275 secs Superpi 1M
    * 30093 points in 3DMark '01 @ 305x MHz, 565/1010MHz @ X800GTO (locked)
    * 402 points in CPUMark '99 @ ~3.1GHz.[/list:u]

    Of course I will update you with screenshots asap, probably tomorrow.

    Almost forgot, I'm too tired for signing autographs, we'll take that some other day when my ego doesn't need to rest (the remaining 364 days until the next time).
