Ok AMD Geniuses, need your help

Where does one find heatsinks for 12 core magny cour cpu's?
I need two..:D

I`ve been waiting for this thread !!! :woot: :woot: :woot:

Read this first MM: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ht=magny-cours

It has OC info too :) And this video goes through what a Magny-Cours rig should look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNrBavjByfw

As you will notice, they are using 1200W Thermaltake PSU for two 12-core processors, but you will probably not need more than a good 750 Watter as it is only two of them and their TDP is relatively low, especially the 1.9Ghz ones.

As for PPD, you are looking at about 57K PPD at stock and about 72K PPD at 2.4Ghz.

I have a 750w PCP+C for them, waiting on a board, have up to 18-1 gig DDR3-1333 ECC REG available for it if needed, just need to buy HS..

Where did you get your motherboard MM? i've been waiting patiently for newegg to pop up some g34 boards but they dont' have any yet. They do have the 6172 though :)

kk. Each processor has Quad memory channels, meaning it will require at least 4 dimms per processor, meaning you will need to use a minimum of 8 DIMMs for the entire rig or 16 DIMMS (8 in each one) as maximum as you cannot use 9 (it has to be in multiples of two).

For HSF, Dynatron is currently the only one with released AMD G34 Socket Heatsinks: http://www.dynatron-corp.com/en/prod...st.aspx?cv=1-3

Here are a few on sale:

O)k, I like that dynatron A6:
http://www.dynatron-corp.com/en/prod...-3&id=214&in=0
Same design as the Dynatron H46G that I modded to take 80mm Vantec tornadoes. 77x77mm, easy mod and the Vantecs cool my Harpers at 3750 so they should easily cool the MC's..
Board is a different thing, I emailed the manufacturer for one.:D

I tried looking for the A6 MM, but couldnt find any.

There might be some out by the time you get your board, but right now it looks like you will have to stick with the A5s :S

Here is an alternative to the A5 that seems to have a thicker copper base: http://cooljagusa.com/productshow.asp?id=232 but you will have to call them for availability.

As in kind of related to the thread.Do we have any hard info on chipsets for these new G34 / C32 ? How similar are they to the 890FX ? Maybe its even the same die`s just diff branding.If it was, it should be possible to do some software OC.

The purpose of this thread is not to share results, it is to share insight into what Dave might need for the rig, to overclock and so on.

Yesterday I read your comments and thought you were trying to bust my balls but I let it slide because I wasn't 100% sure. Now I am.
If you knew me better you'd eat those words above as that isn't me.
It's my way of saying Thanks to AMD for the cpu's.
I do admit I like the new hardware from all the companies but God's truth, it isn't as you see it.
That's just not me and it bothers me that you saw it that way.

Seeing this thing in your finger tips, the processor BEGS to be watercooled... or chilled liquid. Anything less just isn't doing that processor justice. Any idea what the TDP of that thing is? You might get to crunching.

Can't wait to see some results!

I'm really kind of surprised Particle hasn't chimed into this thread yet.
If anyone has skills with a 2p system and overclocking it would probably be him. You may want to shoot him a PM and see if he could offer any tips...

I'm sure it's not easy clocking server chips, but he's had alot of experience with a 2p Istanbul rig.

You may want to shoot him a PM.

Although, it'd be cool to see the CPU and board on LN2 or DICE as well. If you can find a TEC system powerful enough (and can feasibly pull it off) that'd be awesome.

I'm assuming the board will take just as long (hope not :( )

Other than those Dyna's, the only other option you have is to ask AMD (JF-AMD) to send you a couple of spare Magny-Cours heatsinks (preferably with heatpipes).

Oh yea, they exist until you go to buy one.
I'm hearing there is a huge demand for the boards and the "big" accounts are being taken care of first..
I'll get one, just a matter of time.
I could call Dave Graham and probably get a Tyan but you know me, I want a Supermicro board..:D

@MM

so how long do you think it will be until you are able to get ahold of a mobo? Im itching to get a 4P 6168 system put together and am also having a hard time getting my digets on a motherboard and heatsinks.

Do you think the supermicro (H8QGi-F for me)will be the best hardware for a software OC or have you heard of any other more OC friendly mobo's comming out soon?

Right now you know as much as I do.
Your looking at the single socket G34, I'm looking at the dual:

As to OC your guess is as good as mine but I do know that SM generally has no hard line stipulations against OC'ing on single socket boards like they do on the duals..
I don't want to bug them too much.
With both Intel and AMD rolling out new platforms at the same time I imagine they are up to their necks trying to keep up.

I looking to get a 4P...quad processor (48core) system. The work im doing requires as many processors as my meager wallet can get a hold of...last place i worked i used a 5500core cluster.

Ill keep my eyes open for heatsinks...i might just cad/cnc an adaptor if i can find a good heatsink with a big enough footprint to cover the CPU but not run into any of the memory etc.

Your meager wallet is going to be meager empty building that system.
4-6168's is app $3000.00
Board? Generally quad socket starts at a grand and goes up, key word is up
And then a MINIMUM of 4x1 gig per socket, thats $1600.00
Then the 1000-1200w PSU..$380-$550
And those quad boards are SWTX protocol,13x17".. Not manycases for them..
Your at least at $6000.00 with still case and drives to add but good luck.:up:

Meager being relative...the place i used to work spent the better part of $10million on the cluster. a $6K personal investment feels relatively small but yes its still alot of money for me.

Ive already got the case/powersupplys/etc and 48gb of memory. I just need the processors, motherboard and heatsinks.

http://www.supermicro.com/products/c...48TQ-R1200.cfm

Are there any good heatsinks out there that already have a large enough footprint to cover the heatspreader but dont fit the G34 bolt pattern?

demonkevy666

still no coolers even the one's on newegg don't come with a heat sink....

So wait....

You had two possibilities of getting these...

"slim"

or

"none"

You hoped for slim, and slim payed off?
04-09-2010, 01:48 PM
Duh

Dave is this OK ( out of interest, not that I am willing or can pay it)? not considering shipping:

opty 8 cores: $266 IIRC x 4 : around 1100 bucks
Smicro mobo: a tad under $900
memos: 12 gigs: a tad under <500

questions:a 300 bucks psu ( the hx1000w is 230 ) will power this, right? memos are out of proportion if "only" using 12 gigs taking the amount of cores as a reference, right?

If that is what you want then get it..and you only need 6x1 gig for that system for what you will do..

More like 4x1GB not 6x1GB, as the memory controller is quad-channel, not tri-channel ;)

what would be the power needed for a 4 sockets x 8 core config with 64 gb of ram approx?

How about you just run LN2 24/7? :cool:

You shouldn't have any trouble getting a heatsink to work if you won't mind rigging up some custom brackets.

I am also working on the following system:

4x Opteron 6174 - delivered
Supermicro H8QG6-F - ETA 5/7
16x DDR3 - delivered
4x Dynatron A6 - delivered
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 950 w/ Custom harness - ETA 5/20
Quadro FX4500 I have lying around

Still deciding on the drives, will probably just throw in some old Seagate 7200.12's I have around to start.

MountainMods is going to make a custom tray to mount this in one of their units. I have not, however, been able to get specifications from SuperMicro without signing a CDA. I may just wait and measure it when it arrives.
