Might need a reflash?
i am using the one that one of the members got pre release... ill go try the "Official" one tommorow night..
I have the same issue, however I noted that when you let it reboot at default values (so press F2) and than shutdown and startup again than enter the BIOS and than do your settings and reboot again you don't get the message again when normally rebooting/shutdown/startup.Quote:

Ok I'll try that Madman666, hope it works. Maybe I'll need to re-download and flash the bios, the one I have is also the pre-release I think.
I'm (again) considering selling my 2x L5410 Xeon Asus z7s rig and buy an Gigabyte X58 UD5 and a 920.
Main use: Adobe CS4, rendering and downloading
Existing rig:
-fast rendering
-slow memory
-no future upgrades
-oc limited
Pros i7 920:
- future upgrades ?
- exiting oc
- fast memory
-???
Any ideas, suggestions?
Need advice...:shrug:
@jcool: could you please post me the Nuclearus results of your new 920 @stock and @3.2?
Unless you've got a lot of money to burn, your current rig should really be fine with what you use it for.
The Xeon system (mobo/cpu's/RAM) is worth more than the i920 + UD5 + DDR3 combo. Actually, you could save some money here :up:Quote:

Azus Z7S motherboard
1 x Antec 650W Truepower Trio Power Supply - more efficient than my 550W Thermaltake PSU.
2 x L5420 Xeon Processors (50w low voltage)
8GB of Kingston RAM 1 x 8GB Kit (2 x 4GB modules - KVR800D2D4F5K2/8G)
1 x 74GB Raptor 10,000 RPM for OS
2 x Hitachi deskstar 160GB in RAID 0 (fast access documents and other high-speed stuff)
1 x WD 250GB drive
Running SATA as RAID with full caching/performance settings (Yes I have UPS and backup generator!)
1 x ATI FireGL V5100 workstation graphics card supplying images to 2 x 19" Samsung LCD monitors.
2 x OCZ Core V2 60GB SSDs on their way from the States to install in RAID 0 for OS, 2 more possibly to follow in the new year.
D-TEK CPU Fuzion V2 waterblocks with quad core mid chamber inserts, Thermaltake GPU waterblock (bought D-TEK Fuzion GPU block but can't use it as it's not compatible with my FireGL - I'll have to use it with my new graphics card that I will add next year to run the 22-24" center screen)
1 x Laing D5 Pump running on slowest/quietest setting
1 x Thermaltake racing level radiator with 2 x 120mm fans in Thermaltake Armor case.
1 x Thermaltake AquaBay M3 5.25" reservoir - looks nice but poorly thought of when constructed, want to change it for something better and with 3/8" couplings.
I managed to get the L5420's to clock to 3308.00MHz with 441 FSB - I'm running 1.2ish vcore - totally stable. I kept speedstep enabled as I want the power savings. I am currently enjoying much more processor capacity than with my previous Pentium D (dual-core) 3.6GHz stock processor with a lot less power usage.
Core Temp 0.96.1 Temperatures:
Core #0: 50C
Core #1: 42C
Core #2: 42C
Core #3: 44C
Core #4: 45C
Core #5: 48C
Core #6: 45C
Core #7: 46C
Core #8: 46C
Asus PC Probe II reports:
CPU0: 34C
CPU1: 36C
MB: 34C
Which program do you guys find to be more reliable?
Has anyone been able to get more speed from either the L5420 or the E5420? Has anyone been able to go past 450 FSB with the vcore bios update?
Regards
Andrew
Jcool, get the bios from Asus site.
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=455152
1.35vcore in bios, gets me 1.3 in windows, running 440fsb, about to go tweak it up.
temps are around 55c idle though.. that was idle on Copper and fan heatsinks, TJmax is 100c on these chips, so i will try and keep it under 70c..
still has that reboot bug, but i did manage to pull this off , my goal has been met..

Anyway, did you look how your memory is detected in the bios ?
Mine says 667Mhz but it truly is 800Mhz ! I also have Kingston, however 4x2GB.
Did you change any other voltages, besides the Vcore ? Which BIOS do you have ? 0401 ?
Intel stated the Tjunction max for these CPU's should be 70C. If you use coretemp, you can adjust Tj.max and you should have the "correct" temps.
However, testing looks Tj max should be more in the line of 75-80C.
Because I think coretemps should be at idle ±5-10 above cpu temp.
Anyway, i hope you put some benches up.
BTW: what are your Dimm temps?
You are actually quite right !Quote:

I know, but I'm running at 396 (that's my max :() and the memory still says 667.Quote:

I cannot get more than 396 stable. from 397 to 400 it boots into Vista but freezes up when testing. 401 just freezes at boot.:shakes:
Already tried 1.26Vcore, 1.30 MCH, 1.83 mem. E1C and speedstep disabled.
Also tried everything default besides the FSB.
What did you change from the default ?
Madman666 YGPM ;)
I thought about that - is there a noticeable performance difference to justify the extra $$$ ? I bought 4GB modules so that I would have the upgrade path available in the future when the prices drop.Quote:

I've attached a screenshot from Cinebench R10 - running 36 seconds for the x CPU test. Another screenshot shows the comparison between the new rig and the old rig. Even the OpenGL scores are higher!
What do I need to do in order to get my memory to show as 800? I thought it was because I am running a 1333MHz processor and you need a 1600Mhz CPU to run 800MHz memory.Quote:

I must say that for anyone who is considering a rig like this the raw processor benchmarks don't do the potential and capacity of this setup justice - in my opinion, it's the multitasking that is most important for daily workstation use - the ability to do more things at once; for me, that will directly translate into more income - the speed is a bonus!
I'd be curious to know how a dual-harpertown workstation would compare to a single Core i7, as the latter can also execute 8 threads, but only has four physical cores. I've read reviews that say that hyperthreading is much better on the Core i7 than on previous processors, but I still have a gut feeling that it's better to have 8 physical cores - I haven't found any direct comparisons yet. Otherwise, a comparative setup would be a quad socket AMD (more cores but slower clocks) or a dual Core i7, but dual Core i7 boards aren't available from Asus yet, I heard that overclocking is limited and the power consumption is higher compared to the 50w L5420s.
I'm currently downloading a trial of VMware Workstation as I'm curious to see how well it runs virtualization, I may end up running 64-bit Windows XP on the host and 32-bit Windows XP on the guest. Might be reason for me to upgrade to 16GB quad channel RAM. I'll report back on that...
Ah, I had an older version of Core Temp, I have now downloaded 0.99.3 and I have the option to change the Tjunction Max offset.Quote:

The most important factor on a Dual S771 setup (besides the CPU clock speed) is the FSB, by the way. If you compare my bench runs and daily results with same or higher clocked CPUs on a ST with lower FSB, the Z7S always wins. FSB is a real bottleneck here, every Mhz helps especially as you go up in clock speed.
That's good - so I don't need to feel stupid for splashing out on this hardware!Quote:

You might be reading the wrong numbers. There will be some numbers that will say what your memory is on startup, but there are other numbers which tell you what your memory is actually running at.Quote:

edit, got an issue
Dunno what started this, but sometimes my volume is really low even if I max it out and other times its really high and will crackle even if I turn things down as far as possible.
I tested my system yesterday with a duo core 5120 (single).
Tried OC'ing, same issues. No boot after 400 FSB.
So my L5410's are not the problem.
Still suspect my memory. I will try taking out some banks to see if this will work.
Otherwise, how can I test if it's the memory without buying memory? Beacuse I'm not yet sure it's the memory holding back my OC and I don't want to end up with more memory and no improvement.:shrug:
Any other suggestions ? or should I just live with it ;)
I will try that just to see if it works, although then I'll be losing a lot of CPU speed...Quote:

Yeah, your memory is running at 882mhz in that screenshot.. dont worry about what the BIOS says because it is just reading the default values and telling you what you have ;)
nice one, disabling quickboot now..
If i have a TJmax of 100C, is it safe to run 55c idle 70c load?? that is with vcore at 1.35
normal voltage is 44c Idle 60c Load @ 3.6ghz.
First thing I did was disable quick boot, and it doesn't help at all lol. Good thing I never reboot.
yup, its fine.Quote:

BTW: the memorytimings are set by the BIOS to 5-5-5-15. However @400 the Kingston should have 5-5-5-18. So maybe the memory timings are to tight, hence no boot at FSB 400?
No, 5-5-5-15 is ok.
Try raising your FSB in WIndows using SetFSB until it freezes... PLL to use is the 2nd or 3rd from the top on the list if I recall correctly.
Still testing, but now at 409 FREEZEQuote:

i was just asking, my wall was overcame when i went to 1.35vcore..
My L5420 goes to 441Mhz comfortably with a 7.5 multiplier, that gives me 3.3Ghz. It can go higher but freezes at 450MHz - has anyone gone higher than 450MHz with a higher vcore?Quote:

Vcore is not the deciding factor here, but VTT is (which you currently can't adjust). I run 451*9 with 1,24V load Vcore, that is 0,01V below stock voltage. Guess I got really lucky with my chips...Quote:

The nice thing about overclocking these DP Xeons are they're the best-binned chips, meaning you'll get "lucky" a whole heck of a lot more often. ANyways--very nice overclocking.
Yeah, they are better than any and all desktop Quads I have used in customer builds (around 50 this year) so go figure...
If the dual Gainestown is not overclockable (I'll assume 3.2GHz stock), I wonder whether it'll be faster than the overclockable Harpertown Skulltrail@4GHz+. Here's quick and dirty calculation: Let's say, on some benchmark, 8cores is 80% faster than 4cores, and 4.0GHz is 25% faster than 3.2 GHz, and 8core Harper@4GHz is 50% faster than 4core Nehalem@4GHz, then 8core Harper would be slightly faster(~4%) than 8core Nehalem.Quote:
dual Core i7 boards aren't available from Asus yet, I heard that overclocking is limited
They will be overclockable. Gainstowns use the exact same scheme as "normal" i7 CPUs, BCLK of 133 with varying multipliers and QPI link speeds. You can put a Gainstown into a normal single-socket lga1366 mobo and it works, but only the Gainstown has a 2nd QPI interlink node (or something like that) that enables it to communicate directly with another gainstown when you got a dual socket mobo.
Problem is, Intel ran into a kind of TLB bug with i7 as well which can occur after >2 weeks of uptime (just like AMD with the early phenoms) which is why the DP Xeons are postponed until Q1/2 09.
And yes, Gainstown will be faster than Dual Harpertown, even at lower clockspeeds. For once, theoretically, you shouldn't lose any speed when compared to 2x the single CPU setup, because the old bottleneck called FSB is no more. Plus the new architecture is rigorously optimized for multi-threading and multi-CPU environments, the "dual" QPI bus of the Gainstown CPU just being one of many features.
Installed my Thermalright HR01-X coolers (thanks jcool) today on the Asus Z7S.
Now the system won't boot :(

I've tried several videocards and different memory configs.
Doesn't work , still F.F. on the display and no post.
Jaco isn't a noob dealing with this hardware, so it's not the wrong memory slot, psu not connected etc. Must be either the coolers causing a short or the mobo bending too much.. I don't see how you could have killed it though just by installing the new coolers.
Did you mount them in a case where they are mounted to the mobo tray?
jcool , I'm not using a case. I have these verax backplates . No motherboard bending at all.
try swapping the cpu's around, see if CPU0 is dead??
are those backplates metal? might be shorting out.
The backplates are not conductive plus I have been using those for the last half year without any problem.
I have removed cpu1 but no improvement. Display shows F.F. ,nothing else.
I'm going to swap the cpu's and try my other cooler again.
Doesn't look very good, I have a feeling the board's dead :shrug:
pull battery, and elec cord, reset CMOS?
Delta Tjmax @prime = 25C, So temps according to Coretemp with TJmax at 75C = 50C.Quote:

But at idle with a room temp at 19C, the coretemps are 30C (delta Tjmax = 45C) with Coretemp, TJmax at 75C. Sounds acceptable, however I understand the temp probes are not accurate up to 50C.
And YES, I'm my rig is watercooled.
Now back to testing, I tried 1x 2Gb Fbdimm, no change :mad:
I tried Vcore 1,26 and 1,30V, no success.
I have my memory cooled (runnning at 50C), my NB cooled (90mm fan).
I think it's the memory.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone with 800Mhz FBdimms :shrug: to test, so for the moment I'm stuck ;-(
I can believe that. Only when I set my Tj. Max to 70c do my CPUs report virtually the same idle temperatures as my idle GPU, which is what I would expect as they are in the same water cooled loop. I thought the temperatures looked high with Tj. Max at 80c as they were showing in the 40s and my office is cold. If they were really in the 40s then they should be pulling up the temperature of the GPU. The temperatures are also now in relative agreement with Asus PC Probe...Quote:

Just discovered when awaking from S3 Sleep the bios is reset to default ?!?
My FSB is reset to 333 etc..
Can anyone confirm having same issue ?
pc never sleeps, it always crunches, so cant tell ya if thats true..

Hello.
I'm totally new to Xtreme Systems. I just started my education as a Constructing Architect. We work with CAD and BIM, and i needed a new system that could handle the workload of running up to 3 3D programs at once. This is how i came to XS. As you can see in my sig, my system is similar to some on this thread. I tried to boot for the first time last week but got the same F.F. code, as Jaco gets, on the diagnostics card. Then i found out that it was cause my 1st power supply (NQ giant reactor) only had 2 power connectors for the MB. Ok, changed it to the Tagan 1100-BZ. Now i get past F.F. at least. It goes to F.0. and then 8.0., but gets stuck at E.1. and the manual is absolutely useless when it comes to the diagnostics codes and ASUS is just as useless when it comes to replying to the mails you send them. My MB is Rev. 1.03, so it should support the Xeons(E5420). Does somebody know what these codes mean?
I would very much appreciate some help.
How do i register for WCG? Would very much like to contribute to such a great cause. My system wouldn't run 24/7, but it normally runs about 8-10 hours a day, if that would help?
Every hour spent running helps. ;)
Hum.. can't recall what E.1. is really.
As you already realized, you need both the 8pin 12V and the 4pin 12V connected to the mobo if you have 2 CPUs in it, or it won't start at all.
Now, try removing all your memory except 1 stick in slot 0 (the one closest to the northbridge/cpu sockets) and try again. Also clear CMOS and try another GFX card if you have one.

This link is the starter link to all topics WCG. This first link on this thread takes you right to the signup page on WCG's website. I'm assuming you already know kind of how this works. We load the BOINC client app on our machines and attach to the WCG work servers. The servers automatically give us work based on the preferences we set up in our accounts. It is pretty automatic and the BOINC client app is pretty well behaved so that it gets out of your way when you are doing work on your machine. Most of us even game on our rigs while BOINC is running. It just hides out of the way until you are done.
This link, started by our esteemed teammate Sierra, is outstanding after you get going and need to customize how your machine(s) is/are operating.
I would highly suggest you attach yourself to this team, XtremeSystems. You can sign up independently if you wish, but we can help better if you run into problems since we will be easily able to see your stats on our team pages. (More on that when it becomes time.)
Of course, your total will add to the grand total for the team, as well as your individual score. Most of us are not about "score" and do not do this for scores. There is plenty of good natured kidding about it, and some rivalry, but that is only because you'll find that crunching steady for a long time is about as exciting as watching grass grow. So, we have some fun with the scores and the general company we keep here.
I kind of liken participating with this group to the show "MASH". It could be as funny as heck one moment, and serious as a heart attack the next. I think you will see this, if you haven't already.
Feel free to start you own thread on any issues you are having getting started here. We are here to help.
Again, WELCOME!!
Regards,
Bob

Just tested my ram in another system. Both modules are DEAD:mad: Will RMA tomorrow, problem is that it was specially ordered and took 3 weeks to get to me. It is basically impossible to get hold of FB DIMM in Denmark, unless you wanna buy Cert. Apple modules, wich cost 3 times as much as Kingston. Do any of you know of a reputable webshop here in Europe that stocks this stuff? I found a few shops, but think it so risky to order from a shop in another country, unless it's recommended.
TecToo.de fx. have 4gb kit for for less than i can get in for Denmark.
I can get FBDimm for pretty reasonable prices :)
You can ask around here, most EU guys have bought something off me (yes, my job is building custom computers ;) ). Usually I buy Transcend or Buffalo with Mac style heatsinks, but I got something new: Compustocx 2GB 800Mhz FBDimms with flat heatspreaders, 45€ a piece (as many as you need) :up:
