Here's a little teaser....

[s7e9h3n]

I dropped in the forums here yesterday to see what the buzz was about quad AMD's....sadly, there isn't all that much I guess it's time to try to make some waves Mind you, this is only a pic of a pair of quads I've got here (with almost any identifying info photochopped out by me ). Note the pack date on the chips: ~ a little over one month ago. Trust me, these are the real deal....I'll post some screens when/if I ever get them to recognize correctly on my L1N64. They do, however, run fine on a few server-class boards but what fun is overclocking using registered ecc mem ?



By the way, if anybody out there has a bios which allows quads to run on the Asus L1N64, please feel free to PM me or post here...any help is appreciated Also, if you've got access to the VIP section, drop in my thread there as we've been discussing the cpu's for a bit.....

Glad to have you back s7e9h3n! Now make those INTEL guys cry! My self waiting for AM2+ boards... Give us som benches when you can!

[chunkylover77]

S7e9h3n is back. Glad to hear from ya.

[Okda]

hope this thread will be able to hold me from buying a Q6600 and keep my 939 for mortime

[chunkylover77]

I already jumped to the Q6600 but maybe I could jump back.

Well, I'm thinking I would sell my firstborn child to see that thread in VIP right about now.

This is gonna be a great thread
S7e9h3n, thanks for showing up with these...

Dunno if I could sell my first born( he's only 2 months old, haven't had enough time to play with him yet!! ), but i'd sell my wife to see that thread! haha

[edit]

Just in case, j/k honey.

[chefnr1]

Interessting yes.

[informal]

S7e9h3n,are you running the board with 0505 BIOS?

[s7e9h3n]

Well, I'm thinking I would sell my firstborn child to see that thread in VIP right about now.

Lol....the thread isn't THAT interesting . I just suggested it since it's always easier to browse through the info in a less "impacted" setting

Heya chunky....great sig

[s7e9h3n]

S7e9h3n,are you running the board with 0505 BIOS?

Yep, waiting on 0506 atm, but I have a feeling it's not that different from 0505....

[hawkeyefan]

Lol....the thread isn't THAT interesting

yeah I suppose NDA would prohibit such tastiness

Well Monday is definitely gonna be a fun one. I can't remember ever looking forward to a MOnday so much in my life.

[s7e9h3n]

yeah I suppose NDA would prohibit such tastiness

On the contrary.....we talk about NDA stuff ALL the time that section. In fact we even have a DDR3 AMD rig up and running in there ..............














just kidding

[hawkeyefan]

lol

[Motiv]

well well well. s7e9h3n returns and as usual he has the goods.

THe only person I know on these forums who knows what he is talking about (AMD wise)

good luck mate lets hope new people here realise just who has the chips and what you can do with them

[doompc]

Great to see some real news, stephen. Can't wait til monday.

Dave Graham also has a couple barcelonas, he is testing them on 3 boards (L1N64, Tyan S2915 and Tyan S3992).
But sadly looks like the 3 are dead...

Mmm...What chips are they? 2GHz or something less powerful...

I haven't checked the link yet, but are you saying that the cpu's killed the boards? There shouldn't be any problem with the Tyan s3992, maybe with the s2915, but not the s3992. The L1n64 has issues recognizing both physical cpu's...I'm looking for a fix

Edit: Just checked the link and I still can't figure out if he's claiming the cpu's or something else killed those boards....

[s7e9h3n]

They're your standard, run-of-the-mill quad core amd cpu's.... We'll have to boot them to see how fast they are, but they won't be slouches as this pair is final rev. hardware

[elfy_008]

final rev. hardware


oh my. wewt! and I just built my (randomly rebooting) system...I think I will sit this round of 'riding the bleeding edge out' for a bit. ;-)

cool to see that pic too.

[s7e9h3n]

final rev. hardware

Oh, forgot to add....when I say "final revision hardware", I'm not saying these cpu's are "retail" versions. I mean these procs should perform just as well as the retail/oem versions; even though this particular pair has an unusual OPN (at least one which doesn't seem to go along with AMD's past numbering nomenclature) .

[RedBull78]

You're the man. It must feel great to have something millions dont, and crave for. I hate you-not in a bad way though, I envy you bastid lol.
