AMD dual socket thread

[LIKMARK]

what a steal right my 8224s would have cost me $4000 in a store. i just dont see the justification for their high prices is it me or all k8 chips the same just different packages

edit- i just lapped $4k worth of hardware

Yes it's crazy, stores in Norway wants 2000NOK, about 400USD/195GBP/245EUR for one 2347.. got two for 200USD on ebay... It is because it is for the corporates, they can charge whatever they want..

How much did you lap them? Pics..

Hehe, I can post here soon, too - K8N-DL on the way

Hopefully it supports 8-way CPUs, too. Can't wait to try my opty 856's

BTW you'll have to post some pics Dual dry ice action?

Got my second cpu yesterday

Poor vista is a little confused.


Nuclearus with mild overclock.


Cinbench @stock


As you can see ht link for cpu#2 is at 200, 1 multiplier for some reason. Also need to find out a solution for the memclk 266 bluescreen problem.

Edit: Almost forgot.. Boinc CPU benchmark @ stock:


Edit2: My power meter shows 390W powerdraw (from the wall) from my system when running core damage. I reckon it will pass 450W - close on 500W with gfx running at max too
