17GB/s DDR2 bandwidth :shock:Quote:

4Gb running 500mhz cl4 at that voltage is just great.
AMDs integrated memory controller surely is one of the better things they did in the past.
Now Steven, start overclocking those Opterons :)
17GB/s DDR2 bandwidth, NUMA owns...that's right...:D
i wish asus came out with a lighter motherboard( just 1 680a SLI chipset...) that would rock....:rolleyes:...
s7e9h3n when are you going to try vista 64bits?
Well, Asus DOES have a lighter mobo, but it's called the 680i and it's intended for Intel only :p: I may try Vista if I can't get anything else working.....Quote:

lol :p: ...i was refering to a dual opty board, a lighter Asus L1N64-SLI , maybe like a Asus L1N64E-SLI hehehe, just like what they do for intel, that would rock...:woot: , i bet a lot of people would buy it... :p:Quote:

omg i wonder what 1200 gona look like also do you have a copy of vista 64 beta?
nice work, ill overclock mine when i go to sleep
ASUS Bios take their temperatures from a sensor inside the socket and not on the CPU, I see this too on other Asus boards, about 15-20C cooler by BIOS. Download Everest, it reports both CPU and socket temps from the ASUS boards.Quote:

Thanks for proving that opties are just fine on this board. 2210s are more my budget, but that means I can get in on the goodness too...
hey s7e9h3n you ever tried booting @ 300htt @ any setting? i want to know where the chip set tops out at so i can get the right cpu
thanks
Nope, haven't played with the setup in awhile, but planning to get back on it shortly. I've got some other pics on the HD of that setup, but this is what I had on file here....This shouldn't be anywhere near the limit of the rig (hopefully)....:p:Quote:

Thought I might as well go ahead and post this here too. :) There's a really good guide from AMD for this. Kinda wish I had one!

Haven't had too much time recently to play with this setup, but managed to find some time over the weekend. I had originally planned to investigate just what was making this board run so hot. So I set out and started dismantling the on-board heatsinks and made a shocking (well at least it was to me :p: ) discovery......All the coolers on this board are NOT copper - they're just simply anodized aluminum made to look like copper. You would think that a motherboard which retails for almost $400 would use the best quality materials available but, obviously, this wasn't the case. Needless to say, I began trying to figure out what I could use to replace the stock coolers and gain a few degrees in temps. At first, I considered using some copper tubing and make a water loop which covered the IC's at the top of the board. I decided against that since I really didn't feel like experimenting with this hardware. Instead, I chose to do something which has worked well for me in the past -> make some custom heatsinks using a copper 1u cooler I had lying around. Here's the result of a rush job....I wish the pics turned out better, but I'm stuck having to use a "backup" camera as my main digicam is broken :( :

Check out the practically useless heatpipe Asus chose to cool the chipsets. It ran so hot, that there were times when I couldn't hold a finger on it for more than a second. What's even more stupid is the fact that the "top" part of the heatpipe (the finned section) is cooling pair of IC's that are identical to another pair on this board.....but that pair doesn't even have ANY cooling on it :rolleyes: :

Here's how the board should look before mounting the cpu coolers:

*As you guys probably have noticed, I think I've figured out the Vmem and the Vcore mods to this board, but haven't yet tested them......When/if I boot without anything exploding, I'll be sure to post the info......;)
Uh-oh. Maybe he fried something. :( Hope not!
Lol...not yet :p: Actually, I've just been taking my time putting everything back together....I wasn't planning on even trying to boot tonight, but who knows?Quote:

Very nice! It locks like your "rush job...." worked out great! Now boot it up and do some benches!
Edit: found answers
What was the final overclock with this combination ? What was restricting the overclock ?
Yeah, I wanna know too! And did you ever find the voltage mod points on the board, in case they're ever needed? :D
Hi all,
I recently bought an L1N64 Board with 2x Athlon 64 FX-74 im using Normal desktop Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820161183 and a GeForce 8800 GTX, now my quastion:
Would i be able to run an Opteron 2350 or 2344 with just this Memory?
I use this system for Gaming and Homenetertainment so i need a Memory, i would be able to Play at least Crysis with!
Check out this Thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ighlight=l1n64
Theres a Bioshack that allows you to run quad Opterons on L1N64. But will it work with unregistred DDR2? :D
THX i appreciate any help.
It's thought that ECC memory will be needed as of now. Unless Asus/AMD release a new BIOS with support for Opterons, that's the general thought (as far as I know, anyways).
Is anyone capable of Manipulating the Hacked Bios, so that the Quad Opterons would run with unreg. Memory??
ECC != reg. memory
Reg. memory usually has ECC, but you can have unreg. with ECC.
Though, getting the quads to run without ECC and unreg. would be nice.
Well since reading this thread is what helped me decide to purchase and subsequently bench one of these boards I thought I'd revive it. Hopefully some of you multi-socket guys will enjoy this.
I noticed that it died without a lot of overclocking and benching done so without further ado.
Dual Opteron 8218 2.6GHz @ 3135.55

I've got a pair of 8112 F2's on the bench right now, a pair of 8220 and 8216 on the way so more too come!
Holy Thread Revival!:rofl:
3 years! :D
What can I say. I'm a bit slow...and cheap. Had to wait for a $40 board and .99 CPU's.
Thanks for that!
I like this sort of underground computing scene! Mainstream is good, but this is better :up:
I'm glad you enjoyed it. There is more too come.;)Quote:

Dropped the 8212's in tonight. They are F2's so we know 3 after the fact that this board will run F2 Opterons as well. Recognized them in BIOS correctly.

Best I could bench stable with 2 was the frequency in the screenshot.
The results with 1 were quite a bit better:Opteron 8212 2.0GHz @ 3153.63 Not too shabby for a F2 on stock air.

Sup all, I never quite figured it out, but has anyone seen this board do TriSLI ?
Could be a good experiment to pick one of them up if noone ever found out. :scope::bounces:
Pffft... tri-SLI. Could it do Quad SLI? Is there such a thing?
I have the board but I'm not about to go and buy loads of graphics cards.... yet :D
EDIT: Oh, and nice to see you here again :)
sup karbonkid, /got 2x260s and doing 3d gaming @4k x 1k and it just needs a little more juice :)
quad should work though that's a 2x2. need a stepping stone to keep good 'ole Socket F going for a while one extra 260 should do the trick.
