NIce Oc'ing and benching.
Very usefull information about ddr2 timings.
Tks
Give some fresh Water to your Am2.
Keep on Oc'ing.

Thanks 3oh6! It seems that's the read poit on the IC leg. The choke that Persivore wanted me to measure must be related somehow...
good going man if i find time this weekend will setup my own board for a decnt run
Ok it's been a while. Sorry to disappoint but I never ran dry ice. I waited for 2 weeks for a day that wasn't hot and humid but it never came. I had gaps in my insulation so I didn't want to run on a typical 90f 60% humidity day.
I took the mousepot off today as I got these:

Another set of ballistix :D
BUT there's bad news. After taking the mousepot off I realized that I had damaged two SMDs on the CPU (how'd you guess)
http://afireinside.evilspork.net/AFI/AM2/IMG_0761.JPG
I have no PSU now which is why I didn't dice or test anything this week but UPS will be dropping off an OCZ 700 and x1900xt tonight. If the CPU still works (it should since it POSTed with mousepot and broken SMDs) I'll have some 4 way interleaving results/comparisons ASAP. If the CPU is broken they I'll have to wait for the price drops so I can snag an X2 5000+ EE. And yes the IHS will stay on that one.
Yay PSU is here!

Very nice PSU. They cut the size down greatly from the powerstream models and they use a stealth black finish and not a shiny one. Having all the cables sleved is a major plus. I was happy to see molex grip things that make removing the molex easier like the enermax liberty has and even happier that they didn't follow the same wiring scheme. Some retard at enermax decided that going molex sata molex sata on every power cord was a good idea. Well it's not. OCZ on the other hand gives me more cables than I know what to do with:
20/24 pin ATX
4/8 pin 12V
2x 6 pin PCIE
2x 3 sata cable
2x 3 molex 1 floppy cable
Unless you're trying to make your computer hover, have a massive 8+ drive RAID array, or you want to enter it in am import car show, I can't think of a use for every single connector. Good job OCZ! :up:
Next is the GeCube X1900XT that newegg had on sale.

Bunch of connectors, 2x molex to PCIE and 2x DVI to analog connectors not shown, delta force something or other game, and some boring DVD software. Then a CD with old drivers and a big multi language manual. I didn't bother looking at any of it.

This card is BIG! Even longer than my 7800GTs and the cooler weighs a ton. Hopefully I can deal with the drivers and overclocking. Would have gone with a 7950GX2 if I hadn't gotten such a killer deal on this card.
I'll hook PSU and CPU up now and see if the poor orleans still works.
good to see a full system ready to roll...well hoping that the CPU is still rolling.
i just received my OCZ 700W the other day too and was quite pleased with the overall appearance of the flat black finish and small stature of the unit. plus the cables are actually useful with the way they are setup. looks like a twin for my now tiny 560W ST56ZF, i still think its single 12V rail will hold its own against the 700W but don't tell that to the GameXStream ;)
a pair of 7900GTXs should be making their way to my place tomorrow so all kinds of fun should be had this week. look for my pissing around with that stuff somewhere around here at XS.
i look forward to the 4-way action AFI and have my fingers crossed for the Orleans.
Orleans works fine. It got wayyyy to hot in my room so I moved everything into the basement but I've been gaming. Off to bench now. Does 4 way interleaving enable it's self? There's no BIOS option for it.
good to hear about the CPU...as for the interleaving, your right, there is no BIOS option for it. now that i think about it, the M2N32 doesn't have anything in the BIOS that caught my eye on that front either. perhaps it will detect that it can and just run straight out of the hopper?Quote:

Heh, I like the pizza on top of the mobo. I'd not feel comfortable with grease dripping over it though.
I am thinking about going AM2, as the investment into 2Gb of DDR2 will be much better than DDR; should I go for the 3200+ or 3500+?
542mhz 2.5v 32m stable, working on 550mhz. Crashes half way through. Didn't play with x1900xt much, set 650/750 and that was it. I'll check ram and reseat cooler with ceramique tonight along with uploading the screenshots of ram.
Ok here we go. 4*512 4-4-4-8 2T 542mhz 1.5v
http://afireinside.evilspork.net/AFI/AM2/542-4way.JPG
Try as I might, I can't get 550 for the life of me. Not sure if it's an AMD IMC limitation or the new set of ram.
X1900XT seems to be doing nicely as well:

You need some water for the card and ...
How come no 3.8Ghz++ on Orleans ?? :confused:
I've seen people on water doing 13k on X1900GTs, and with your combo, closer to 15k m8 :)

Maybe if I can figure out a way to 100% insulate but it's 90F and high humidity every day :(
Do it 1-2 am at night?
Nice, DIMM slots fully loaded :toast: I've always liked the way it looked :lol:
Is 4-way interleaving working for you the same it worked in my case. AFI? Did you notice any difference in benchmarks? I don't think that DDR2-1080 is some magic number (as you mentioned) or a limit. Probably just a coincidence, that we're both hitting same clocks. I was on 4x1GB though...
I didn't test throughly but I noticed a .5 sec difference in 1m when I was playing around trying to figure out what was wrong. I'll test the new set by it's self tomorrow to see if it passes 550.
Around 1-2am the humidity hits 80% or higher.
Hey! Why is your memory bench mark so jacked up? I have a 3800+ aswell, and my memory numbers are not that bad. Heres what im doing.
540Mhz

580mhz

Just showing some comparison, not thread crapping or anything.. Good luck.
~Mike
you're not thread crapping, but you're making the same mistake I did :p:Quote:

Dual core makes that much of a difference? I don't remeber that with 939...
~Mike
Dual core makes a huge difference in memory bandwidth. Mine would be similar to yours with a dual core. Nice clocks on your ram though :) Do you think you can tighten up the tras and trc? They're really high.
Hey man I like the work you're putting into this, very clean and thought through. It gives me a good impression of AM2. Relatively speaking, the core on your x19 isnt doing bad as well, as mine starts to crap even BEFORE 700mhz because it just gets too hot. Anyways keep it up :thumbsup:
Makes me wanna go 4x512mb all over again :p:
