I'm with you, most of the people in this thread are worse than a bunch of ten-year-olds fighting on the playground.

PM a mod and they will take care of this. Why stress ?

Guys, please respect s7e9h3n's thread!

Finally some action .
Tell us the stepping and the date of the BIOS .

Here you go (sorry for the ugly pics : I broke my main camera and all I have to work with is this pos )





And after messing around with the setup last night, it turns out that it's the board (or bios) which is causing the error in correct speed detection of CPU1. Although the cpus seem to detect properly before entering windows, there's nothing I can do to get CPU1 to read correctly once in. Hopefully, it can be remedied with a simple flash of the bios. Otherwise, I may have to get another motherboard which is easier than getting a new cpu

[massman]

C'mon, Stephen, press any key and load windows

[s7e9h3n]

Oh yeah, forgot to add that there seems to be a problem with the memory detection as well. For some reason or another the 4x2gb sticks of PC5300 are running @ 159mhz SINGLE CHANNEL CL5. That's have a HUGE impact on performance. If anybody's curious, @ 800Mhz on the cpu and 159mhz on the mem, I can run a 39sec Spi 1m LOL

[Lightman]

So not even single CPU benches for us?

What is progress with L1N64 BIOS support for K10?

Anyway great job both s7e9h3n & Dave!

CPU1 won't run any faster than 800mhz. CPU2 runs @ the proper 2ghz, but on a dually board, you can't only run CPU2. If you're running a single proc, you can only use the CPU1 socket.

L1N64 Bios is going just as expected with Asus - absolutely nowhere....

[massman]

So a K10 @ 800mhz and crappy memory gives 39s 1M ?

That doesn't sound very bad to me

hmm 39 sec spi 1M @ 800MHz CPU 159MHz mem, could full speed be a bunch faster than that, like maybe mid 20's? I know I say I don't care much about spi but I'm just curious.

On the spi run, we're talking about 1 cpu running 2G and the other at 800 Mhz, with the memory at 159 single channel. Sorry just confused about what you ran that at.

Thanks for the pictures and latest info
Can you verify again the Spi 1M run on those 800Mhz and 159Mhz for ram ?Since it is a LOT faster than kyosen's run on Akiba demo yesterday-49s@2Ghz (btw,thanks kyosen for those results ).I mean,is there a possibility that even if the reported speed is 800mhz,the CPU is actually running @2Ghz(and scoring the 39s)?Best way is to run Spi in dually config and bind it to CPU1(instead of CPU0) in process explorer.
Thanks in advance and good luck with the system

Yeap, that would be my guess too. Coolaler has a 39s 1M run at 2G

Guys, please respect s7e9h3n's thread!

From when did we start saying please 0_o.

For all those gentlemen who have already decided not to buy AMD this winter, the Intel section is only a centimeter below the link for the AMD forum.

Steven that's exactly the same time that 2GHz quad core Opteron gave on the Coolaler forum in SPI 1M (what we were all shown).

Hmmm.... there was a massive hue and cry about that on both sides. Seems that must have also been a buggy board/bios/chip. This is getting interesting.

On another note, gack, check the amount of problems you've had so far. Is this a first?

Having solid platforms for your CPU is something that any firm must ensure. I guess that's why Phenom is delayed too, and I suppose rightly so.

[hawkeyefan]

holy cow! The plot thickens.

we're trying. I can run superpi tonite. i do actually need a download list for me to run.

dear god...that BIOS (which looks like it's for an nVidia based board as my 3992 uses an Award bios) looks.....interesting....

in any case, i can see what i get tonite.

thanks for the tips.

Dave for me please:
- Cinebench 9.5 x64 Cinebench
- 3DMark06 CPU Test
- Everest4.0 Latency tests and FPU tests Everset Trial
- mBench memory subsystem benchmark mBench.exe
- anything else you will like (including server benchmarks, kernel compilation, etc...)


THANKS!

[alayashu]

Dave, BA or still the same B1s?

a Cinebench 9.5 and 10 both on win64 would be great!

Oops....I was assuming one of the logical procs in socket #1 was running the bench, when in reality the process initiates with cpu1 and then is immediately handed off to cpu6 for some odd reason. Bound the bench to Cpu5 and it results in a 1m ranging from 39s - 41s. The memory is STILL being detected @ 159mhz single channel though. I tried to install Sandra to check other stats on the board, but it flat out wouldn't even run after installation. Upon reboot, I can't even get back into the OS. The rig still posts, but just doesn't enter the OS. When I try to re-install windows, I get a BSOD in the middle of the setup process. I'm tired and frustrated with screwing around with this config which AMD had claimed should work without a problem. I'm going to have this setup swapped out for another which I should have in a couple of days.......

On my 37" Aquos, it's more than 1" below the AMD link, making it too far for my mouse to wander
