Official Socket F Overclocking Thread

Yeah yeah, take the ****, I'm a mod and I can ban you

Going to see just how far I can push it.

Anyone else willing post some overclocking results for Socket F systems? Would be interesting to see how some of the cheaper Opterons do as well.

This that dual CPU effort?

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 19:53

Yeah, fancied a new project to do over the next coming weeks.

Got some pics of it all? Its quite an interesting design.

How have you got your ram? 1 GB for each CPU? See how much of an advantage NUMA is!

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 20:01

Don't think NUMA works in XP but Vista, not only the normal driver issues with Vista but I struggled to get all 4 cores working as well.

Got 4 1GB sticks, so I think it assigns 2GB to each socket, if it had NUMA each socket could access the RAM on the other, but as far as I'm aware XP doesn't support NUMA.

I'll post some pics in a bit.

Not entirely sure what's up with the temperatures, each core is fully loaded.

Very nice! Can you clock each CPU individually?

I wouldnt complian at the temps - you may jinx yourself!

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 20:26

Nah, the FSB and multiplier is set for both, but you can set the Vcore to each chip differently :cool:

What ram have you got in there? And I thought all the F chips were 65nm?

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 20:38

It's Team Xtreem 5300. Not sure on the revision but it's definitely 90nm.

Meh, off to a great start, stressing at 2.7GHz and it rebooted and killed my Windows install in the process

lol - better luck next time

edit**

have ocuk sold many/if any of theese 4x4 set ups?

Defcon5 · 5 May 2007 at 22:36

Oh dear! crank up those volts!

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 22:39

Nah, got it working fine at 2.8GHz at stock volts, don't know what happened when it took out my installation.

lol - you sure it was working fine then?

Defcon5 · 5 May 2007 at 22:40

Probably just the mobo having a hissy fit! Whats the target - reckon you can hit 3.2?

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 22:43

Well stress testing at 2.9GHz now and I'm still on stock volts so hopefully 3.2 is achievable.

Cool - like to see some benchmakrs when you got time

See how it compares to C2Q

Jokester · 5 May 2007 at 22:46

Next annoyance to come up, CPU 1 is only running an HT of 200MHz instead of 1000MHz :confused:

Sure its not just reporting the base clock?
