Barcelona Opteron 2350(B1) arrived

[kyosen]

Finally I've received s7e9h3n's Barcelona - Opteron 2350(B1) this morning

The images is partially masked as these are not mine, just borrowed.


This is my system, ASUS KFSN4-DRE.
I've just tried with 1 CPU
...this CPU cooler is too wider a bit, two of same coolers can't fit this board at the same time...


This is BIOS screen shot.
Split Power Plane(now it's called DDPM: Dual Dynamic Power Management) is supported
on this board, KFSN4-DRE...it looks working fine with north-bridge clock at 1.8GHz.


I tried SuperPI 1M with 1 and 2 memory modules.
39.750s in 1 module operation,
38.968s in 2 modules operation,
so it looks working dual-channel mode in 2 modules operation.
CPU-Z shows Single for both case...Fracnk can improve it soon, I believe
A small window located left side in these screen-shot is FELIX's test program.
Also FELIX is working for proper detection of memory access mode in his MemSet



Now, OC time...very mild though
I could reach 2.4G with default Vcore and normal air-cooling(no assist with air-conditioner).

SuperPI 1M


CineBench10


...stay tuned

Nice one mate....now we want 2.8ghz-3.5ghz please

[LIKMARK]

At last some oc'ing of these beauties. Keep it coming. Me too want 2.8 - 3Ghz!!

[VulgarHandle]

is the DDPM really the split power planes, or is it just for setting different voltages to each socket? and can you post a screenshot of the bios page with that information?

also, why does cpu-z show the HT link as 200 and 240? is that a cpu-z error, or worse?

thank you sir

[quake6]

It is 7 second faster in super pi with just 400mhz up
Awsome

[cky2k6]

yeah, the performance increases are way above normal scaling for 400mhz, for both spi and cinebench. the enigma of k10 continues...

[tictac]

kyosen.. give em ln2.. see if there any coldbug or not..

[Kasparz]

32sec for 2.4Ghz AMD and very slow ram is awesome! Also this is server stuff, desktop stuff would be faster.
IIRC 3Ghz K8 with same ram could do 32sec spi1m.

[hipro5]

kyosen.. give em ln2.. see if there any coldbug or not..

I think it only needs a single stage to find out that.....

[Frodin]

That is some strange scaling going on there
Looking forward to more tests!

[Lightman]

Thanks Kyosen for bringing first serious Barcelona overclock!

can you run latency tests on stock and OC for comparision? THX!

PS. Can someone write here resoults from CinemaR10 picture coz it's not loading on my PDA...

[Motiv]

The scaling is down to the cache/IMC that changes speed with memory timing and/or CPU speed. Well I think that's what I read somewhere.

So yes, the scaling of applications that use cache will show strange results.

I think it only needs a single stage to find out that.....

X1900XTX and X1800XTX were coldbuggers and i remember people fearing the HD2900 bugging like hell, now people are complaining that they can't cool them

I hope the same will happen for K10

[Morais]

Nice run kyosen, looking for more results.

[wedfighter]

superpi times remember me to A64 Venice @ 2.8Ghz or somewhere near it
hope it can scale much higher

thx for sharing

[Blasar]

Not bad...not bad at all.... 400MHz without touching the vCore sounds good, and the scaling is looking good, also...

Maybe now we can see the "good" side of the K10...

Keep us updated...

2.6ghz actually could do the trick with BH-5 at high speeds..

I hope the same will happen for K10

The 2900XT was designed by ATI and NOT AMD....

[akaBruno]

...stay tuned

Good show so far Kyosen. I'll stay tuned. Keep tuning that rig.

[Den Leiw]

Interesting results. I think we will be quite surprised when we can bench >3 Ghz Phenoms + oced memory.

[PhilDoc]

And they said that K10 wouldn't overclock. Nice job, great scores. Waiting to see more great stuff. Thanks.

[mongoled]

At last someone is overclocking a K10, wipeeeeeee

that took toooo long coming now hopefully we will be able to get our fix, heeheheee

Looking forward to the results and the mysterious K10 scaling

[K404]

Pics removed coz its not a fair comparison.

Sorry!

[BeardyMan]

K404

you seem to miss something

K10 barca has L2 512Kb cache , L3 does nothing fro superpi.

Therefor the result is good at 2.4ghz

[PhilDoc]

Just a quick look, you're 100 mhz faster and with much better memory timmings. Try running it at 2.4G at the same timmings as Kyosen, then post your score.
