Ok the program is working!
thanks for the help msimax!
Now Let's find the target register....

I've already donwloaded this program, but it don't work under 64bit os....
Try baredit, should work on 64bit os.

Hey! Then I'm back from holiday. And guess what's waiting on the post office? I'm picking up my ram tomorrow after work, and then there will be some tweaking :)
@yankeex86x: I don't believe it is your nb that's holding you back. Most nbs can handle up to 2,1 -2,2GHz at stock vcore. Independant core clocking is also supported by AM2 boards, so it's not a ddbt feature :)
What vcore are you running at?
@Msimax: What? Second RMA in a few weeks? Stop abusing your board :P:
@Tony: Go for it! You can get 2*1gb 667 ddr2 reg/ecc pretty cheap in most stores.
Hi!
welcome back!
You're right....
I didn't understand what locks my CPU from rising up....
I've vCore at 1.26 (the same as NB because there's no DDPM).
I succesfully lowered the NB multy from 8 to 7 and 6 (thanks to msimax and justapost), but the situation wasn't changed.
The 2.32 frequency wall is still there.... and there's no voltage adjustment in bios and software too.
The CPU is almost stable at 2.25 max 2.30.
I think that rams are locking me down so I'll try to buy other 2 modules 2x2Gb to fill the maximum ram capacity (now i have 2x2Gb "only" :D) and 4high performance ram heatsink modules like these:
http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/ARCT...asts/5756.html
So I'll be sure that rams won't lock me down.... ;)
Any other Idea of what is locking down my cpu???
PS: I didn't understand how AM2/sktF mobo were capable of adjusting core frequencies independently, thanks for the info LIKMARK... :up:
Thanks!
Did you reboot after changing nb fid? If not, do that and check with cpu-z that the nb really have changed. My Phenom 9500 could not change nb fid, downwards (as it is supposed to) or upwards (as is possible with the BE's). Tested it with Crosshair (AM2) and AX78 (AM2+) with no luck.
You probably need to feed your cpu more voltage anyway. Were there problems applying more voltage through bios?
It could be you got a crappy clocker too. Let us hope not.
How is memory settings in bios? Is there much vdroop on the board? (I mean, it IS an ASUS board after all :D)
Love those ramsinks, were they expensive?
BTW: Would love some bios pics if you got a cam :O
yankeex86x you should run orthos @ 2.2ghz and then start upclocking to see what core borks first. and another trick i use is turn on cool&quiet in the bios with everything on auto except mem timings and what not. now in windows set power profile to max battery now @ idle you'll be at 1.0ghz now use ntune and set it to 235 in 1 to 2 htt steps at a time once and if you reach there load up orthos while using cpuz to check your overclock
I tried everyway....
I think that 2350 B3 Opteron are low power consuption processors.
Phenom processors that runs at 2.3/2.5GHz have their TDP ~100W so i think that I simply need to raise the vCore which will rise up the NB voltage too.
Infact 2350 2.0GHz ~80 TDP while a 9500 2.2GHz phenom has a higher TDP.
Is there a way to rise up the vCore via MCP registry editor?
If is possible.... what registry will I have to edit?
Is there any expert??? :)
did the computer freeze using the cool&quiet method?
No,
I have no freezing with coolnquiet enabled....
Now this is the stage:
I'm still locked before the 230/232 MHz FSB wall. :(
I changed the NB frequency from 1.6GHz (x8) default to 1.4GHz (x7) 1.8GHz (x9). With the FSB to 225 and NB(x9) I reached NB freq of ~2.0GHz, and i think that i can go much higher with NB... :)
So NorthBridge is not locking me down... :)
I tried to fix Core multys to 5 and then rising up the FSB (so the overall CPUs frequencies go from 1GHz to 1.25GHz) but with no luck (so there no vCore limits and no core freq limits defects).... the 230FSB wall is still there.... :(
So, after throwing away NB locks and Core limits my next step was the HTT frequency multy... I could change HTT multy by setting main HTT frequency in bios [200 (x1) 400 (x2) 600 (x3) 800 (x4) 1000 (x5)] but even setting the HTT speed to 600MHz don't help me from rising up FSB speed.... so there no HTT wall... However this motherboards (L1N64 WS and WS/B) have the linkboost capability: The motherboard is designed to have a 25% overall bus frequency boost by default when used with a certified videocard (nvidia 79XX/88XX/9XXX/etc) so we will have enought room to overclock the HTT bus... :up:
Now, after throwing away core limits, vCore Limits, HTT limits, NB limits, the only wall that I can suspect is RAM.
Making the point, I'm able to reach a stable 2.25GHz with a 5:3 ratio and ~750MHz DDR2 Frequency (667STD divider and 12.4% overclock), but I have no heatsink over my dimms and I don't fell safe overvolting them without heatsinks....
As I already mentioned I bought KVR800D2D8P6K24G:
Kingston Value Ram DDR2-800MHz Registered With Parity Dual Rank x8 CaS 6 ECC 2x2Gb
But the system will not boot when setting the divisor to 2:1 (800MHz).:shakes:
When I'll receve Ram heatsinks (ARTIC RC) I'll try to overvolt ram mudules to see If this is the real wall for my Overclock... :up:
Any comment about my analysis? am I correct?
post memset and cpuz screens of your mem timings ;)
This is all data about my NB chipset Memory timings, memory SPD, CPU and other stuff.... I hope it's enough :up:
I'm also able to set the northbridge at 2.0GHz (x10) (stable) without problems or issues...
but it's not good enough.... I WANT 250FSB!!!!:shakes:
Just so that you know.. you can open multiple versions of cpuz at the same time :p
Seriously: If you ran your memory at 750mhz at command rate 1t, it might be the limiting factor indeed. It might need 2t above stock frequencies. You tested different mem dividers btw?
Edit:Do you reboot after editing msr registers? If not you have not really changed nb fid, it just appears so. Only BE's should be able to set nb fid 10, not regular phenoms/opterons. They are hardware locked upwards.Quote:
I'm also able to set the northbridge at 2.0GHz (x10) (stable) without problems or issues...
but it's not good enough.... I WANT 250FSB!!!!]
Edit2: example of nb frequency anamoly on phenom: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...0&postcount=28 Look at nb frequency in cpuz...
I tried setting the divisor on 800, 667 and 533...
533 -> no boot
667 -> working ok
800 -> Only a Linux based OS boots up (vista & XP crashes before loading)
The command rate setting is unavailable via bios, I have to se it via Overdrive....
But it changes nothing....
Yeah, changing command rate in windows usually freezes the system too.. Did you see my edit number two in my previous post?
Yes yes.... i see i see.... sorry... :)
I could change command rate via overdrive without freezing, i changed it alot of times...
I also rebooted after setting the NB frequency to 2GHz and the system booted ok (a little faster) so this motherboard is capable of 2.0GHz NB...
I remember that both Opteron 2358&2360SE have their NB frequency at 2.0GHz...
However I could change the Command rate, and it can be seen via CPUz, but overclock limits are still there....
I'm becaming crazy....
i did it :D:D:D i took off my soldered bios and installed a bios socket from a broken MB i got from ebay 13 hours later i just posted with my old w/s fx bios so my burnt fingers and soldered holes in my clothes was worth it:ROTF:
:party2::party::party3::YIPPIE::bounces:
Wow msimax, now you can change bios from WS to WS/B as you need? There is some dirt cheap 2352's rev b3 at ebay btw.
too bad bad i ordered another 4x4 board:D and found a cheap ecs board on ebay with tophat flash module so im good for now
this is a single 8800gt and for some reason maybe my mb i cant fill all four slots

i have to run to homedepot to get some insulation so i dont have to worry about condensation and then some real fun
Nice frequencies and nice cpu score too :)
You think you can push them much more?
Edit: Btw, read some old stuff on the internet, http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=747&page=3
So then maybe DDR2 800MHZ should be possible? Have to test..Quote:
If AMD can switch to DDR2-800, then the scaling will probably be a lot better but most of the Barcelona class servers announced only go up to DDR2-667 except for Sun which supports DDR2-800
Almost 4GHz!
Keep pushing, msimax :cheer:
my chiller cant hold the temps or my dtek fuzions most likely. ill post a suicide shoot later
a little tweaking 8800gt single card im only 1000 points away from my sli score:D

What was the problem with dual channel?And will there be SLI results ?
Good luck with the 4Ghz mark :)
i had different type memory had to play with slot config
also im debating trying tri sli with 9800gtx since their soo cheap or 2 9800gx2 from ebay or wait for 4870x2

LOL! Nice way to test "the latest" cpu's. Wonder what they do when you kill a cpu when overclocking? Then you say: I didn't do nothing. :shrug:
nah you say my server/workstion doesnt boot anymore and i put my old cpu in and it works fine :rofl::ROTF:
Holy :bananas: msimax-man! 3.9G+ Talk about bussin a move on! :shocked:
Hi guys...
I've been away for long due to the university....
However I tried a lot of times overclocking these 2350s....
What are the results???? ....not good....
The same situation as some time ago.... nothing to do to breach the 230FSB....
I even tried to reflash the "old" 0.301 bios (like Kyosen) and changed the HT links from x3-x3-x1 to x3-x3-x3.... no way....
I tried registry voltage modification but nothing changed....
My system runs stable on 2.25GHz, but only under load :confused: ...
So the overclocking capabilities are only 12.5% for these B3 Opty 2350 form AMD..... And I can only say poor AMD.....
my memories are Reg PC2-6400, so i don't think that RAM is my problem...
I think that my run ends here.... :( sorry...
However any help is still appreciated.... :up:
Thanks to all for supporting me in these experiment! (WS=WS/B only bios...)
hey try this

hi!! i have a question, i own a l1n64 ws/b MB and two optys 2352. i have not the memories yet, but when i turn on the pc it not post. and it no warning me with beeps for the memories. This is because i have not the memory or the 2352 are incompatibles with the MB???
Thanks a lot!!
Your PC can't boot up properly without RAM memory!!!Quote:

i think you were trying to check if the cpus will work and buy checking with out ram you know if the cpu will post cause it checks for them first then ram but there is no pc speaker on the board so you have to install your own if you didnt already
i have a pc speaker, it come with the MB and work perfectly, i test it separately. but nothing happend, no beeps come out and the screen is blanck. but i read a post here from yankee that says he dont get a beeps with out a memory installed.
Hi,
even if 2352(B3) are not offcially supported, they work without problems.
I made the same thing as you before getting my reg rams; don't worry, the situation is different between FXs and Barcelonas.
FX IMC don't require the bit parity check with ram, so when they are initialized they don't ask for ram directly so the motherboard makes a beed (noRAM beepCode).
Barcelona based processor's IMC require the parity check with ram due to their design, so if there is no ram available the IMC can't initialize and the processor won't initialize, so the motherboard can't even know that a CPU (or both) is installed.
Trust me, there's no problem, your system will work when ram arrives.
:up: welcome to the dual socket world!
Yankee
Thanks a lot yankee, this is the best info you can give me!! when ram arrives ill post my results.
Hi there all, im back on a L1n64 system from a Phenom setup. Quick question: will this board support tri-sli. Thanks in advance. Still running FX70's @ 3.2 but seems opty 's the way to go
1. On average, how much more do the desktop chips overclock compared to the server chips (considering that Shanghai / Deneb are coming out soon).
2. Is the primary "problem" with overclocking server chips the motherboards?
Hi all, was able to pick up a couple 8346HE opty's for around $100 but now I need a motherboard, I've been able to find both the MSI K9ND speedster, and L1N64 non /B for pretty good prices, but I dont have another processor to flash the bios with - so can any1 confirm that the barcelonas work on the Speedster, and would anybody be able to send me a bios chip with the right bios to throw in one of these two boards (of course I would pay for the chip and your time). Lastly, since the new server chips are about to come out and they will be socket 1207 I was thinking it would be better to buy a nice mobo that will support the newer chips for upgrades down the road - are any of these boards available and does any1 have suggestions?
Thanks for any help
Hey yankeex86x, I tried to email you but I'm not sure if it went through, I've got the WS/B and was wondering if you did anything special to get the 2350(B3) to work or are you just on the 0501 BIOS from Asus? If so, have you updated to the 0506 from Asus with no problems? I can't get my 2350 B3 to post but it posts fine with a 2212. Think its the processor or could it be the 0506 BIOS from Asus?
Barcelonas will work on the Speedster; but you will need an 8mb BIOS chip. I'm in the UK, otherwise I would have offered to send you a hotflashed one. I also have made an (as-yest untested; my board is in for RMA) BIOS for the K9ND with AthlonFX support, PM me if you want it...)Quote:

That board also requires 8mb BIOS to run quad-cores, but for that price you can't really go wrong. Only trouble is you're out of luck if you want PCI slots...
P.S., this isn't really the place to discuss this. Come join us in the AMD 2CPU thread ;)
karbonkid hows it coming along modding your bios
The BIOS is done... PM me if you want a copy. Just note I have not tested it yet as my board in in for RMA, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work ;)
The changes are:
- AlthonFX microcode support
- All ECC/Chipkill options set to DISABLE by default, so you don't have to swap in ECC memory after clearing CMOS :)
It is based on the MSI 210 BIOS so it will only work with 8mb BIOS chip, but if you want a 4mb version then ask me and I'll see what I can do. My time is limited at the moment.
I was at the micro center out east there is one of these boards for $214 there.
http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/218/24xtremexb2.jpg
Managed to get mine to 2.4ghz. Anything over that and the system crashes. Even with the newest 0506 BIOS I had to use the Nvidia System Tune thing to OC it. Any FSB changes I made in the BIOS would stay, but they just wouldn't actually increase the FSB or the speed of the CPU.
SS taken with Prime95 25.6 running with 8 worker threads, 2 SMP and 2 GPU2 folding@home clients, EVGA Precision for 8800GS OCing and Everest for temp monitoring.
EDIT: Few minutes after posting that I BSOD'd. Restarted and brought it down to 235 FSB and it hung on apply. I'll keep trying and see if I can get it back up fully stable.
I've seen a few posts here with guys running the AMD Overdrive tool on these boards. How did you get it to run? When I download the latest version and run it, it says it doesn't detect an AMD R700 chipset.
Just got my system up and running today. Two 2347's! :up: Just waiting for Shanghai to be released.
So we can flash a l1n64 directly to the b version without any tricks?
Nice, now you should join the folding team with all that power. And good question, the chipset is nvidia so I'm surprised the AMD OD tool worked at all.Quote:

I am testing a L1N64-SLI WS/B (BIOS 0506) and two Opteron 2354s. It works with four 1GB registered DDR2-800 DIMMs. But, there are no ECC options in BIOS menu. Memtest86+ also shows ECC function is disabled.
What's wrong with this configuration?
Now I'm a proud owner of a L1N64-B :D
I've just testet it with two Opteron 2344HE with "B1" stepping, and with two 2344HE "BA" stepping - works well.
But I also want to overclock and whatever I change in the "jumper free" section of the BIOS (cpu vcore, FSB) it has no effect. With both of the cpu types.
BIOS is 0401 and ram is 2x Kingston KVR667D2D4P5/2G = 2GB DDR2-677 registered with ECC.
Changing the ram clock works well.
What's wrong and how can I change the values so it works??
some news.
I've got the latest BIOS v0506 and put a pair Opteron 2356 stepping B3 onto the board.
First I installed Windows XP 64 but neither nTune works nor AMD overdrive and Clockgen.
Now I use XP 32 bit and nTune works at least.
FSB 250 are stable (2.875 MHz), higher isn't possible with nTune.
Does anyone knows another tool which works with this board and higher clocks?
Clockgen freezes the system, Overdrive doesn't even startup, and the BIOS options still show no effect.
So please help me to reach the 3 GHz
Overdrive won't work on nForce board (except for multi in rare occasions).Quote:

FSB 250 was't stable, all 3 types of cpus won't go higher than 241 MHz FSB @ default voltage.
2344HE "BA" / "B1" -> 2.050 Mhz
2356 "B3" -> 2.772 MHz
HTT: 600 MHz / 3x
ram: 266 MHz

But I just tried K10 stat and - I love you - it works :shocked:
I just need some more testings (and better cooler) but it seems that with higher voltage the FSB 250 is save.
there is a trick to let u go over 250 in ntune
here with 2.800 MHz and Windows XP 32 BitQuote:

EselMetaller,
The ECC function of your system are enabled?, Please post the screenshot of the "Memory" tab of CPUZ.
yes ECC was enabled.
I don't have some screenshots at this time cause the psu died and I have to wait for a new one (460 Watts just with two cpus @ load, one harddisk and a 2MB PCI GPU)
Another thing:
I also bought a L1N64 WS with normal bios chip. I used a chip with the newest bios version but no bootscreen, neither with the 2347, 2352 nor the 2356 :(
Now I'll sell the board and try an Asus KFN4-D16 for my second system.
Does anybody knows some overclocking tools for XP x64?
nTune doesn't work, even the older versions which supports XP x64.
Hi guys,
Just to focus and help people who have the L1N64-SLI (every version).
In order to make the barcelona run on this motherboard you need the ASUS WS/B bios (every version is good since 0.401).
Be careful because newest motherboards revisions may have soldered bios chip (maybe asus discovered that some people like us were using unofficial bios chips??? :p: ).
Other than that there are a lot of problems with ram, I discovered that the system behaviour is very different depending on which OS is running and ram density:
The only way to use DDR2 at 800MHz speed is to use a 32bit OS (It's strange I know, but i tested it...).
However this motherboard Is limited to non SE cpus, so we can run only 22XX and 23XX up to 2356 (2.3GHz).
It is possible to clock the motherboard higher than 250HTT by using ntunes, (works under XP-64 too but 64bit OSs are less stable on barcelona CPUs), simply create multiple profiles for ntune and edit them with notepad changing the FSB/HTT speed by hand (they are simple text files). In order to jump up in frequency we need to create multiple profiles starting from 250HTT making a profile for each step like 250->252->254 and load the sequentially.
By using this method I managed to reach 270HTT (the limit I think) but only under Vista32 and XP32 (that gaves me only 2Gb out if 8 of ram).
I hope that these tips are useful, Now it's time to change motherboard maybe switching for a S-2915....
If anyone has some suggestions about good workstation motherboards feel free to say!;)

Hi guys, a slight thread resurrection! Also a bit of a long post :p:
I have been scouting ebay for a cheap cruncher for a few days now, my original plan was to grab a mini-itx LGA775 board and run an Intel E6320 along with two GB of ram.
However I stumbled across a pair of 8347HE Barcelona's for a steal. I now have the fun task of finding a motherboard to run them, this is when I came across this thread. I have read every post and looked at the dual AMD thread but there is so much information its hard to take in!
My choices are:
Tyan S2912G2NR for £50 + delivery
ASUS L1N64-SLI WS for £95 + delivery
ASUS KFN4-D16 for £100 + delivery
MSI K9ND Speedster-WA6 for £125 + delivery
The guy selling the Tyan S2912 boards says that they run 2352 and 2360 quad Barcelona's, so I'm assuming they have the latest BIOS on them.
There are so many choices, I'm pretty confused! All I want is the best bang for buck cruncher. So by spending more money on a board that will allow me to overclock will even out the cost of the Tyan if that can't overclock.
Now the 8347 Opteron runs a 1.9GHz with four cores, if I can two of them on a Tyan at around 2.3GHz this is the route I'll take.
Can anyone enlighten me to this dual quad opteron scene, and possibly tell me what PPD I can expect on WCG.
Thanks in advance :up:
I would like to start off by saying thank you to you and everyone else on this thread. I have spent months following this thread and decided to join the conversation (since I have purchased a asus L1N64-SLI WS).
My Questions are:
1. Does the L1n64-SLI ws support high density ram (256 x 64 instead of the regular low density 128 x 64)?
I have 4GB of this MDD2-800-256X64 high density ram, it's a DDR2 800 non ecc/buffered?
and
2. With the hacked bios (ASUS-L1N64-WS-0505-MOD-R8) + a quad core Barcelona (like a 2352) what is the operating speed of the ram? I ask this because in a post yankeex86x stated "The only way to use DDR2 at 800MHz speed is to use a 32bit OS". I have Vista ultimate X64
and finally
3. Has anyone tried running this motherboard on Windows 7?
i have a none /B board with a soldered BIOS chips and a couple chips one opty 2218 santa anna and 2 8346HE's
do i need ECC DDR2 to boot with the 2218 to flash the board to 0401 WS/b and boot with the 8346's?
Kind of. 22xx will run with non-ECC, but you may have to disable ECC in BIOS. Bit of a catch-22. I'm sure someone with the board will confirm/infirm soon :)Quote:

Resurrection again. Just wondering the answer to this. Now that it's getting near the time for me to upgrade again, I'm wondering if anyone has tried to get an Istanbul to run on the WS/B.
I read that on the AMD forums, but it was a poster with only 128 posts so I'm not sure what to make of it.Quote:
To the poster who asked about istanbul, it won't work with that board. Istanbul requires dual dynamic power management, and that board was created before that feature was available.
So, anyone try it yet?
Won't work, that poster was spot on. Sorry.Quote:

thread waker upper
i managed to find some cheap ECC/reg'd DDR2 its D9xxx stuff on ebay so I have a couple of questions
1. any VDDR mod for this board
2. is there a hack that lets me play with timings on this with one of the later bios's
3. will this boot with a 2218 on the non/b with the original bios
4. what /b bios should i flash to
5. if i water cool this board what would fit it
1 - Don't knowQuote:

3 - Yes (I think)
4 - Don't know
5 - Anything with a socket 939/754 mount
I've got one of these now too. Really looking forward to playing with it..
Let us know how you get on!
good find less than what i paid for mine and i thought i got a steal :up: check ebay on the chips i think i paid maybe $50 total for both the quads i picked up.Quote:

Bump. My K9ND died so I did a full rebuild and have my L1N64 up and running :) Using the WS/B BIOS, no quad-cores yet, though...
I just wanted to enquire, does the fin section of the chipset heasink cool anything directly? ie. are there any MOSFETs, etc., under it? The chipsets get really toasty even with plenty of airflow and I am considering replacing the stock cooler with two VC-REs...
pics soon :)
Apologies for the phone pics:

I used the stock QuadFX heatpipe coolers with a 70-120mm fan adapter. Had to dremel up the original fans and use them as shrouds/mounts as there was no way the adapter was going to clip to the heatsink ;]
Getting pretty good CPU temps, around 45 degrees under stress. And fairly quiet, too - CPU fans are low-speed San Ace.

Nice surprise. I was expecting BA or B2.
They are Opteron 23FF embedded CPUs, 45W...
Just stress-testing atm, then to set-up lm_sensors and then try to OVERCLOCK!!!
:D
I was under the impression that WS/B bios when used with the WS did not allow for BIOS overclocking. Confirm or deny? If it does I'm going to pick up a couple of Barcelonas again.Quote:

No BIOS overclocking... but experimenting with this.
My K9ND died on me...
Hmmm...Looks promising. I'll have to keep an eye on this thread.Quote:
