Opteron 275HE at XS!

[freecableguy]

Thought you guys might like a little taste of what's to come from AMD. These run at 2.2Ghz (dual core, of course) and are rated at 55W TDP. Installed on them right now are Thermaltake Big Typhoon sinks. No results really yet as I am waiting on a couple of LVD active terminators to show up tomorrow to get the 8 drive U320 RAID up and running. ;)

Oh yeah, 1.15v stock :D

You are my hero FCG !!! :D

what mb is that ?? and what are you running with ram 4gb per processor ?

[freecableguy]

MB is Iwill DK8EW, 8GB of DDR 400 is for Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition SP1 w/Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005 :D

[eva2000]

awesome more screenies :)

[RyderOCZ]

Holy $$$$ :eek: :bows:

7408MB ok...was that just where you took the pic so that is what is in the frame? or is it not counting all the ram.

[odb]

this is geek porn at its finest, i love it

just flashed the BIOS, have to set the Hardware map Enabled in BIOS to count all 8GB...trust me, it's there ;)

[mesyn191]

Absolutely beautiful, what are you using it for? Folding or work?

You wouldn't mind posting benches of what that 8 drive array (RAID0, 5, 6?) would you along with the drive and controller info. would you when its complete?

Thanks.

[Plywood99]

That is power...

[Movieman]

Beautiful system! Congrats and good luck with it!
I hear that system can solve all the unknown questions of the Universe in app 12 seconds!;)

[vapb400]

What type of overclocking options are on the DK8EW?

FSB?
vcore?
vdimm?
mem dividers?

[rick_fx]

Absolutely awsome FCG! :clap:

[Calderbrae]

Man oh man.

A "drool" smiley doesn't even do that justice. What a beast.

more pictures

[Absolute_0]

very nice. How about a pic with the heatsinks mounted.

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

lets see some multi threaded benchies when you get a chance :D

[cyron1]

what internet???:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[STEvil]

better see them babies doing some DC work :D

[madgamer]

Those typhoons should keep those chips pretty frosty. I didn't realize they were rated for that low watts. 2 chips with 4 total cores and you are still pulling down less (watt wise) than a lot of single core single chip configs. Thats impressive.

[manomanx2]

Man oh man.

You called?

GG, FCG wins.

[elec999]

You are a lucky man. Can you post some benchmarks of your scsi drives.
Thanks

[Achilles17]

forget his hard drives, we want some benches showing off those optys!

[IvanAndreevich]

Heh in reality these chips with 55W TDP probably eat around half of that. With big Typhoons they will be running 5-10 degrees above the ambient.

I hope you can test the overclock on cream of the crop AMD chips. Any word on 1xx HE? :)

[G H Z]

Last I heard running SQL on an Exchange box was a no no, although I'm pretty sure your hardware could handle a virtual cluster on the array ;)

[mag|c]

aarrgghh I just offered AndreYang my rig for his 975 + x1800xt cf, but since he haven't anwsered yet, you might be the lucky owner of my dfi nf4-d sd 3700 raptor and x800xt pe, what are u saying? ;)

great setup, can't wait for some benchmark results FCG.

[MaxxxRacer]

I have wood...


so who did you have to kill to get those?

And I REALLY think you need to get those G5's back and slap them on there along with an RD30 + PA120.3

[cupra]

wow, super mambo :yepp:
can you give as more pic from that baby ?

[Repoman]

I wonder how those chips would overclock :slobber: You are going to at least see how far they can go right?

[Fr3ak]

awww
1.15V :D
Can't wait for benchmarks...

[MaxxxRacer]

repo, I think that there would be a lynch mob after FCG if he didnt clock these chips as far as possible. ;)

[freecableguy]

another taste...getting setup for benching now and a lot more SS's guys... :D

What happened to your original plan to have 285s? They are non available?

[The Coolest]

What about a couple of AMD64 TCaseMax and GCPUID shots? ;)

[fareastgq]

yeah, FCG, get those chips wet........!

That Tcase Max temp is impressive 69C!. Those bad boys should do 2.8GHz without lossing any sweat.
FCG, Please, what are the overclocking options on the Iwill MB? Vcore, HTT, Vdimm?

I know that he has NO Vcore options, clockgen works (only fsb adjustment), and I'm not too sure about Vdimm....:p:

[The Coolest]

Freecableguy, both of the programs you've used are out of date. Still they had a few bugs in them I had to fix.
Please redownload both (links are in my sig if needed) and update the pics (would be nice if you had the "Select processor" combo boxes open).
Thanks for the time spent tho :)

[uOpt]

What board do you have, again?

Voltmods instructions for the K8WE float around somewhere. Shouldn't be too difficult to identify the right points on other boards.

[s7e9h3n]

OK FCG, XS is back up, so it's time to show those results we got earlier today ;)

[Kunaak]

http://www.vrforums.com/showthread.php?t=24060

there the K8WE Voltage mods by Jason.
can always count on jason to find mods to just about anything :)

[freecableguy]

This is an Iwill DK8EW board...

results from some fun today (thanks to s7e9h3n for the help) :D
got up to 220x11 = 2.42Ghz with stock 1.15v...instant reset when going for 225 HTT

Here's a little benching... :D

Wow, thats some rig. When is it gonna be folding? Hopefully Rosetta since d2ol is all weird now. BTW, I wanna see hdtach with those 8 cheetahs in raid.

[lazerman]

Very nice. Wish I could get some funds for something like that!

Awesone

OMG that is crazy also i thought "its" had 2mb of l2 chache per core or "just" one...

OMG, those 275 HE babys rock like hell. I am so jealous! 2.2 GHz @ 1.15V stock ... they would kick 3.0 GHz on a S939 board easily.

Try to push them a little bit.

btw: even the official price list doesn't know 275 HE's yet ...

[vapb400]

did you overclock via ntune/clockgen or via the bios?

[agenda2005]

OMG 4CPU @ 2605MHz at just 1.216V. That is a killer system. That will be excellent candidate for serious number crunching.
FCG,
I gues you are using clockgen, but do you have overclocking options in that Iwill MB BIOS? I'm planning to run similar system (Opty 280 x 2)on Linux, but will have to depend on BIOS for overclocking it. Alternatively, does anyone know any overclocking utility for LInux? Answers will be appreciated.

Over at 2cpu.com forums' Linux section you can find a cpufreq driver for NForce4 and NForce professional. It works for clock control and voltage control (only up to the max wanted by the CPU) on all my NForce PCIe boards.

Well, this is really sweet stuff!

All Dual-Cores I ever had (X2 3800+ ... X2 4800+, Opteron 165 ... Opteron 180) only had 49°C and 35.0W. This one kicks them all with 69°C and 52.9W. Would be a hell of an overclocker on S939 system.

Anyway, very nice shoots that proove 90nm K8 Dual-Cores are able for much better voltage/clockspeeds than we are used to know.

[SamHughe]

We're still waiting for some PCMark05 action.

Amazing cpu's.. Ill take 2.

He's Vcore limited. I keep telling FCG he needs to find the Vcore mods on the board....

[mnewxcv]

i love socket 940

[Rickster_64]

Hopefully someone can come up with a VCore fix for ya, would be nice to see how far they go with just 1.35-1.4v normal voltage like the rest of us chumps have!

arggh bad option, really bad one. anyway try to se forums.2cpu.com theres allot of information for SMP.

this system was built for server use, it won't be overclocked at all, stabililty and reliability will be paramount. my posts here on the 275HE chips were purely for interest.

[uOpt]

Also keep in mind that if you voltmod it there is twice as much power increase as on a single-socket 939 board. The risk to blow up some power component is pretty high.

Modding should be easy because the voltage regulation ICs are fairly standard.

Tell him about your Killa-watt, FCG :D

[freecableguy]

Tell him about your Killa-watt, FCG :D

total system power consumption:

idle: 380W (as measured at the wall)
FULL load (4xP95 running): 400W (just....wow...can you believe that?) - also measured at the wall

now, you can conceivably add another 10Wx8(=80W) for the 8 U320 SCSI drives when running at full seek/transfer as opposed to idling but that would be the very MOST this system would ever draw.

Now, 480W (maximum) x 70% power efficiency of a PCP&C 1kW PSU gets you a measily 336W give or take a couple watts. PSU is rated at 1000W continuous and 1100W peak. Don't forget that the Iwill board is also made for dual core Opterons in DP configurations. I think I'm pretty safe! :D
