Hi, most of you here know me from my crazy core 2 duo system which I recently built-

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o62/Robs03EGTS/Picture007-1.jpg


Well tonight I built my friend's system for him which contains the following-

Opteron 175 $179.00
X1900GT $149.00
ASUS A8N5X $72.99
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB $74.99
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black $49.99
ENERMAX EG651P-VE FM(24P) ATX 550W Power Supply $119.99


He already has windows xp, keyboard, monitor, sound card etc.....
Not a bad build for $649.96.


And please dont knock him for going with a S939 as he already had 2gigs of DDR memory and he doesnt exactly have a lot of $$$ to spend so he took the cheapest yet most effective rout possible. This system should last him a good while especially with the crazy overclocking potential of this opty!


This Opty has been an awsome overclocker and I am impressed big time. I have been running dual prime for the last 3hrs with zero errors at 3.1ghz with stock vcore and stock HSF. Idle temps are 35c and load temps are 59c, I used coretemp to check the temps.

I cannot wait until we get a good aftermarket cooler for this thing so we can find out what it can really do! :wink:


And the X1900GT is also a good little overclocker, I have it at 600mhz core and 1840mhz mem using the stock cooler. 8)


Here is the CPU stepping and it came from newegg.com

CCBBE 0617EPMW

Very Impressive :)

Wonder how much higher it would go with some better cooling and more voltage.

Unfortunatly I may never know, I just tried pushing it further and it is limited by the Asus A8N5X as there are no adjustments in the Bios for the motherboard voltage. The highest I can push the FSB to before the board craps out is 283 :cry:

I was running dual P95 at 3.1ghz at stock vcore and it was passing P95. Unless my friend gets a better board this will be as far as it will go.

DFI lanparty expert is what i have. very nice ocer. Tho just about any thing out of dfi will oc that puppy nice. If i rember that stepping has seen the highest oc's out of all the optys. One other thing dont nock that stock cooler only the best ones seem to out do that one.

Do you know how high this stepping generally goes? And yes the stock cooler with the copper heat pipes is doing a great job.

i agree the stock cooler seems pretty damn good.

No I find it very impressive but I am an IEEE certified engineer and not an ignorant fanboi and if you run a benchmark like Himemo http://accc.riken.jp/E/HPC_e/HimenoBMT_e/index_e.html it will blow any Intel system ever made away because the opteron has six complex instruction decoders vs only two for the Intel. The 6 simple decoders on core 2 are useless since the packet lsizes are greater than 2mb. http://www.hpcwire.com/hpc/658628.html The Cray has 960 180's and the Fujitsu had 2048 3.73 Dempseys. Based on Thunderbird at Sandia Core 2's would not cut the margin at all.. Thunderbird does 53 teraflps vs 101teraflps. for Red Storm using the same 2.2 MW of power. In two of the key benchmarks Red Storm beat Blue Gene L using 130nm opteron 146's. It was upgraded this summer to 185's. http://www.physorg.com/news62939660.html
http://www.physorg.com/news82830306.html

In benchmarks Solid Works is where the AMD begins to consistently beat Core 2, Move to medical imaging like MRI's single core Opterons will beat Core 2 because they have 3 complex decoders vs only two for core 2. The simple decoders don't carry ny significant loads because the data goes beyond the 48 bits they can see. When you get into big science where everything is 64 bit even the Dempsey beats Core 2 hands down. It has two complex decoders per core vs only one for Core 2 (core 2 has two cores per cpu so I refer to it as having 2 complex decoders per chip). If you look at the DARPA benchmarks http://icl.cs.utk.edu/hpcc/ You will find all thetop raanked computers are either IBM or AMD. Watson and ASCI Purple would drop out of todays rankings as both RedStorm and Jaguar have been upgraded to 185 Denmarks since the Benchmarks were posted. By the end of March Jaguar will be getting close to 200 teraflops and pass Blue Gene L in every benchmark except HPL(linpack) http://www.hpcwire.com/hpc/724626.html
http://www.ornl.gov/ornlhome/print [...] 0060825-00

Given the Core 2 scalablity problems 1 Petaflop as Jaguar will do when finished using 939 opterons simple won't be feasible since the power requirements are more than twice the XT3. That is why DARPA/DOE/NSF bought 10 compuiters with opterons two with IBM P5/7 and no Intel based designs for FY2007.




Anyone here know this guy? LOL :lol:

he seems to be comparing from the medical field?

and other fields besides what most people use.

hello,
i just traded some adderall for a brand new retail opteron 175. i have asus A8N-E board with 2 gig ddr500 corsair ram, and a 7800gt. i just put chip in, turned it to 275x10 @1.5 volts, 333 on the ram @ 3-3-3-8 1T. everything seems stabe, but holy **** do the temps get high!! i think i hit 60 at full load. i only used prime 95 for about 10 minutes, then started playing BF2, minimized, and was at 59 degrees. stock cooling also. nice cooler for a stock.
