Well I think I found my ram problem... I had no luck getting 4*512 to clock well so I decided to just run 2 sticks and try to get a faster 32m time at the same clocks, this time with the latest version of CPUZ and a spi mod with the checksum thing working.
I start 32m x2, go to get a drink, and as I'm walking down the stairs *DOINK* *DOINK* the sound my mobo speaker makes when pi fails. Both instances failed after the initial value. Pulled the ram out to realize it's my new kit. Swapped it for the old 575mhz kit and it's running smoothly. I guess the new set just doesn't clock well.
i finally got around to testing it and yes, with a single core i get POST right into BIOS. witha dual core i get nothing...now there is just two dahses on the diagnostic LEDs. any thoughts? i have the latest BIOS although they posted a new one on their site a couple of days ago but you can't download it.Quote:

crappy luck on the memory man...can't get good stuff all the time i guess.
pretty solid for a early rev. of the 590 shipset, cant wait to see intels version
Ouch am2 is dissapointing to say the least..
MY opty 165 @ 2.9 does close to same pi 1M 28.7
I cant wait till he gets the required hardware to get this fuggr clocking the way he knows he can...
Will stay tuned..

Unless he finds a 300$ FX62, I dont think we will see many more Dice AM2 benchies.
We have two problems:
1) coldbug
2) need 600mhz cas 4 ram to equal BH-5 performance @ PI
Actually 575/2=287.5 so I'm on par with good bh5 since 4-4-3-5 is on par with 2-2-2-5 bh5 assuming the ddr2 is double the speed.
BUT AM2 is cold bugged so hard there's no way I'm touching 575mhz ram @ -70c. Plus with this "4F" stepping I will probably bug before I even hit sub 0.
I am talking about actual performance though, you can do all the NN_STEP math that you want, but you ran 28.5s or so 1m.Quote:

People with BH-5 and single cores get into the 26s 1m @ 3ghz range. :(
maybe you just have to do some pelt action with variable resistor then you can adjust power of peltier? ot rip hs from mems and cool down with peltier it help litle bit.
