hi David, i know its a full 6 years on... but i finally upgraded my Quad socket H8QGi-f processors with a pair of 6380ES. They seem to be quite overclockable. i'm running them with the BIOS set to...

i've always wondered if the on board VRMs have a safety switch of some sort. i usually run 2.1 GHz first core, then 3.6 GHz second, then 1.4 GHZ, 1.4 GHz and 3.6 GHz again, then 1.4 GHz last core......

Thats a sweet result. Nice to see some other Opteron ES results here. How much power are you pulling from the wall during the run? And how do you like OCNG?

hi folks,

i thought i'd do a small update for my machine since its been a while. i've been running 2 cores on each of the 8 dies of my Quad Opteron machine at 3.6 GHz and 1.275v just fine... i...

Hi, i pretty much blame AMD for my project (in a round about way) :). Basically, when it came time to upgrade my PC... AMD had nothing really attractive available. The bulldozer based arch didn't...

here are my final Quad Opty results for CB R15... 4 x 61xx "Magny Cours" running at 3.0 GHz.

to get to 3.0 GHz (from 2.1) and have it running stable required a voltage bump to 1.175v from 1.1v. ...

Hi Flank3r, same thoughts as me :D

if you would like watch a run... i uploaded it to Youtube:

At some point i will try for 3.1 and 3.2 GHz... by...

Latest update for my Quad Opty rig: Up to 2.6 Ghz ran fine on stock voltage of 1.1. Tried running 2.7 GHz on stock voltage... no go... so bumped it to 1.125v and it ran fine up to 2.8 GHz. 2.9 Ghz...

hi felix, i see you are just as shocked as i was... the ridiculous thing is that these things can be taken up to 1.55 volts i think... and i know they are all capable of 3.0 GHz. Power consumption...

Had some time to spend seeing how well these 4 chips would run at 1.1v. They didn't like 2.8 GHz but run at 2.6 GHz completely stable... didn't want to up the voltage or frequency beyond that...

Hi Felix,

i probably will up things to 2.5 over the weekend now that i think about it... (same stock speed as the 6180SEs that were in there). The reason being that the two dynatrons that are...

i updated my quad opty project machine yesterday with 4 AMD 61xx "Extra Spicy" chips (unlocked multiplier/voltage) running at 2.1 GHz and ran an initial baseline. Thought i might share it here:
...

hi Felix,

Thanks :)

i pulled the two 6180SEs that i had in there and installed these yesterday, so i thought i would take a baseline. These ES chips are unlocked for both voltage and clock...

Just updated my "Quad Opty" project machine tonight with 4 ES chips (unlocked multiplier and voltage).

Here's the baseline with 4 x Opteron 61xx ES chips running at 2.1 Ghz: 26.83

Spent a little time tonight seeing what my 5 year old dual Opteron 8439SE rig would do...

953cb @ 3.208 Ghz (229 MHz x 14x)

It actually seems stable up to...

Happened across this and thought i'd run it just for giggles :)

Latest results for my dual Opteron 6180SE machine (did some BIOS tuning): 1440cb

Latest Cinebench 11.5 results... for my Quad Opty home machine... did some BIOS tuning:

okay... initial results... monitor turned off... 173w on the Kill-a-watt sitting at the Windows desktop... in power saver mode.

hi Felix, i haven't tuned it for saving power under idle yet, but when i get the final figures i'll try to send them your way. The above figures were also on safe settings with absolutely no memory...

i think you are talking to me... yes, if i have all 24 cores going then generally speaking the kill-a-watt meter is telling me that i am pulling around 475 to 515 watts from the wall socket. Keep in...

Here's a run from "Quad Opty" - this is the quad Opteron home PC i'm working on (just got her going yesterday). She's currently running starting with 2 socket G34 AMD Opteron 6180SEs (24 K10.5 cores...

Nice to see another person running Opteron 8439SEs :) Probably one of the least used AMD chips for the desktop, and yet one of the best. Also has AMDs strongest core as far as i'm concerned......

i did find a version of nTune that works with Win7... link to it here:
