My New Toys AM2

wow

What type of memory is that? Your sg says Micron 2x512 your running a 2Gb kit of something FAST. Nice benchie. This is the only area we AMD lovers still can claim victory and depart the field unscathed.
I can wait for Barcelona, and I have two FX 1207 processors and their heatsinks sitting in a box waiting for a L1N64 board.

I know it was a poor "qudcore" attempt especially from a company whom claimed Intel's Dual core weren' "real" dual cores but two cores "bolted" together. Well at least they got the dam things under one IHS and on the same socket, the pseudo Quad AMD came up with has the cores miles apart in latency terms.

Still it is a very powerful platform. And I will add two Barcelona quadcores when their prices drop a tad, for octo-core performance. I need a Spider logo.

its tracers 2x1gig 8500

[msimax]

i guess a possible am2 memory wr is not important nowadays

hey msi, very impressive stuff.

Can you run some other benchies at this ram speed by any chance? 3dmark, super pi, etc

[Lightman]

WOW! Impressive speeds msimax!

My personal record so far is shy over 11GB/s (1050MHz 4-4-4-12-15 2T)...

Your scores are better than one I saw from QuadFX system (so quad channel memory)!

I wonder how much AMD improved memory controller in Barcelona. If they managed to up efficiency to 90% then .... 20GB/s is in your range with this set of DIMMS ...


Keep up good work and post some more numbers (SuperPi and Everest Latency for me please)!

[msimax]

my next tester lets see what she can do

[msimax]

this board is really good the only draw back was the ram volts which i took care of good for about 2.7v lets see what she can do

[Lightman]

Right... nice vDimm mod !

What is your verdict? Good or medium motherboard?

I'm thinking about changing my MSI K9N to something more advanced OC vise .

[msimax]

Soon i will show intel why it fears the dark

well maybe not now but sooooon. i plan to push till it bleeds ill show you how to clock this sucker

[Liquid3D]

That's what I want tio hear my freind stick it to those overclocking kooks who come in hear and drop in the lineup without earning their place. They've been surfing our break for far too long and dropping inlate on some big ones with their Conroes.

It's time we take our opterons and (I just got a sample 5600+ tool) and find our 400FSB nirvana. show me the money!!!

this is with no vdimm mod 600mhz @ 1.9v so if you were to buy 8500 tracers with this board it will scale pretty good i will test @ 2.2v next

[msimax]

im looking to do some vmods on the 4x4 system if anyone has any info on these chips it would be greatly appreciated

No mention of readpoints and I have no idea why there are two vdimm mods but that's all there is found for this board so far.

[msimax]

thank you

[msimax]

i can only dream about this

everything setup and looking good so far . i was going to water cool the mosfets but the 8pin 12v got in the way but it works for one side, maybe ill move the connector to the underside of the board

[msimax]

doing some testing



also does any know to mod bios timmings not add them but change the default settings, because the problem im having is no clockgen program works yet for this board and when i try 300x10 with mem@800 div i get hanged boot.

now the problem is @ that speed the mem timings are way to tight for ddr 1200. mostly the mal and im guessing others too, what i need is a very loose memory timing bios that i can boot with then tighten up in windows with memset. ill be a guinea pig to try the bios.

also need to set drive strengths set to weak thank you

these are the only timings available

[msimax]

*UPDATE*
for those with a 4x4 mb theres a new way to overclock. if your like me and to go through the bios to test your cpu at different speeds today is a good day. i have stumbled on a way to overclock in windows by accident

1 set your max fsb in the bios ex. 330x7
2 boot up into windows
3 you should have ntune am2tools and systools installed. load all

ntune has a working clockgen for this mb but it cannot go higher than what you set in the bios.. so now where at 330x7 back down to about 250.

now with systools that alows you to change your multi to anything..so i change that to 10x now my system is running @2500mhz .. now back to ntune u then can clock up to the max fsb u set in the bios while running orthos to check for stability p.s. you can also use ntune and memtest to tweak your rams if your trying to break records






now you can upclock.. and the max fsb you can load up windows with is the max fsb you can play with, even if yours is 250-300 you have 5-25x multis at your disposal



now break some records

Nice work there MSIMAX. Keep it up
Based on your personal experience, which AM2 mobo do you recommend for serious oc ??

Nice work there MSIMAX. Keep it up
Based on your personal experience, which AM2 mobo do you recommend for serious oc ??

the dfi 590sli is a nice board once you work out the kinks
but what i want to try in the future is a crosshair with one of those 89w 6000+
should be beastly

also the infinity ultra m2 gets the job done for cheap

[Lightman]

Good work so far with this Quad setup, but we all are waiting for some results !

[msimax]

no good
