Looking to line out a dual hexie (Istanbul)

[Particle]

OVERCLOCK! Really I wanna see some overclocks both 1 socket and dual, with stuff like w-prime...

Why aren't you overclocking it like a maniac already! We want atleast 3GHz!

nice man nice damn i wish someone releases a dual socket overclockin board

I'll get to work on that tonight. hehe Last night was spent doing some testing on the system to make sure everything operated as expected. Then I began the process of modifying my case to accept an E-ATX motherboard. Being a custom case, I designed it with a 13x14" motherboard tray so that it had the capability to accept an E-ATX board if I chose to use one at a future date, but I'd only drilled and threaded holes for the normal ATX standoff positions. No longer! The new board is mounted! Just needs some more work to finish up before I can get back online for good.

The application I'm using to overclock with seems to stop at an HT base of 250 MHz, effectively limiting me to 2.75GHz. No promises that we'll even hit that, however. These are completely unknown waters to everyone at this point.

Gongratz on getting it sorted.

but seriously, nice configuration. i'm figuring atleast 10.xxx speedup when u get the rams for the second cpu

Yes this dis the awesomest-especially at 4 in the morning. Congratulations on all the work thus far on this. Quiet an adventure!!!

Very nice! 26.4 more gigglehurtz to the GRID!

Thank you guys for supporting me. That's probably most of the reason I did this in the first place--I knew there were curious people around like myself.

Awesome! Really curious what the speedup will be when the 2nd CPU has access to it's own memory. If you wouldn't mind, run a wPrime 1024M run and record the time for me.

Me too. I actually seem to get slightly higher runs out of one 2GB stick in single channel on each CPU, so I'm hopeful that dual channel DDR2-800 will help out significantly.

I'll try to do that wPrime run tonight for you.

Awesome to see this up and crunching particle!
Yeah, you win.. if this will match my Gainestown's output of approx. 48k/d.
I'm not sure it can do that, maybe?

Oh yeah, I agree, we want to see you OCing that rig

Yeah, yeah. That's what I was getting at--win at "something" (just power consumption). At 2.2GHz, I've no illusions of setting stunning performance records for anything even with 12 cores. We'll have to see how far it'll clock, and before I go too crazy I want to inspect the VRMs to see what I'm dealing with. I'd also like to get a fan on their heatsinks and maybe some real thermal paste.
