Asus z7s ws Build

[shanems3]

3798 mips per cpu
7800 integer mips per cpu

I am guessing that that is x8 since i have dual quad cores.. any other Boinc benches??

[jcool]

Yeah, all great but how many ppd can it do in WCG?

My guesstimate would be 36-37k/d sustained at 400x9, using my E5420's (34k at 430x7,5) and X5450's(41,5k at 451x9) for reference

shanems3, get the 64bit BOINC client, it does approx. 10% more work in the same timeframe.

shanems, here's the latest stable 64bit version for windows: LINKIE for 6.2.19 and here's one for the LATEST beta version 6.3.23

[shanems3]

cool, ill try it out, on another note, i seem to have ran into a problem. i got some ddr2 fbdimm in, 800mhz, instead of 667, but it still comes up as 667.. only way i can clock it at 800 is to overclock the system.. ?? any ideas?? is there a jumper to switch 800 mode on..

Is the board set to read the SPD? Perhaps you need to reset something.

The board runs the memory 1:1 with the CPU.

[D_A]

That'd do it.

that will explain why its so rock solid at 400fsb in bios... 430 it can boot to windows but is buggy, 440 cant boot.. 400 is stable.. whats the highest yall get?

you could get some DDR2 800?

[STEvil]

Already does have that, thor... read ~6 posts up. Got a good fan on your memory and decent case air circulation?

crap, I missed it. When people dont have avatars..I scroll to fast and dont notice

if its not stable UP THE VOLTAGEEEEEEEEEE

[shanems3]

what voltage, Vcore??

Yes, i have 4 DDR2 800 2gb sticks with aftermarket thermal take ramsinks.. with a fan going across the sinks

ok, very frustraited, i installed a sil 3132 sata controller to use my dvd rom on it, while using the onboard raid.... i was playing COD:world at war, i get a bsod, i am thinkin it was somthing to do with my setup in crossfirex. anyways, i reboot, i get an error cannot load pci device into memory.. it never loads my onboard raid. i remove the Sil 3132, boots fine.. wtf is going on .. Am i overloading my PCIe Bus?? i have 2 Asus ati 4850, sil 3132, and the MIO audio card that comes with the mobo.


damn this build has alot of quirks in it.. shesh.. fix one thing , another thing pops up..

[STEvil]

Sil controllers suck.

[jcool]

Sil controllers suck.

So very true.

ok, running Boinc 64 bit build, working great, doesnt even impact my gaming with COD5 so i always have it running in the back ground. my benchmark was 3800/11000, and i am on the xtremesystems team, so hopefully ill contribute to the team pretty good.

I settled with 411 FSB, with 8 cores running at 3.7ghz.
I did notice that due to me having Crossfire config, my top video card is hitting 90c temp, so i ordered 2 Water blocks, extra radiator for GPU and external Reservoir for easy filling. After that is installed, the rig will be complete and ill have more time to work on my Project Flooded pc(Oil cooled PC).
Overall i am satisfied with the setup minus the lack of overclocking support in bios.
I will post pictures of the final setup after the new parts come in from FrozenCPU.com
