Spoke to soon by the looks of it haha. Got the 1.6kw evga psu and it does the same thing :(. seems to be a temp thing or a limit on the current the board can push. Cranking the volts up at a lower clockspeed results in the same thing (eg 1.55v @ 3.5). Ah well, think I've reached the limit of...

Well, another interesting development I should have seen coming! haha, according to the temp readings she's getting up to high 40's max under load. Which seems low but I think I found the real culprit again. At 4200 1.4v the power meter I have is showing a 1430w draw at the wall. And taking into...

Yep, all vrm's are sinked and there are 4x corsair airflow units, one on each bank of ram to keep them cool. As well as a pedestal fan blowing across the whole unit (side panel is off). There's enough air flow to keep the back rad fans spinning even when powered off :p.

Got a mostly stable 4.2ghz @ 1.4v. I think I know what thermal shut down looks like now. It goes to a black screen and eventually reboots itself. Trying for 4.4 @ 1.4v it blue screens like I would expect with not enough volts, but pushing any more volts it just does the black screen thing. And...

Hi mate, Would you be willing to ship the ram to Aus? (I'll pay for shipping of course!). Does the memory boot automatically with those timings, or is there fiddling needed first to get it to boot on an IL system? Thanks heaps :)

I always like coming here better than other forums because you guys know more about the obscure hardware :D. The Antec 1200w PSU is shitting itself! Hitting OCP far too early by the looks of it. 3300 @ 1.3v runs through fine, instead of the machine shutting off almost immediately. Did a few...

Yep, VRMs are heatsinked and there's 4 sets of corsair airflow units blowing air across the whole mainboard. Will try my other 1200w psu shortly.

That's a good idea! Managed to get a hold of a fairly cheap reader today. Wprime 1024m load @ stock = ~475w at the wall (not too bad!) Wprime 1024m load @ 3000/1.25v = ~725w at the wall Wprime 1024m load @ 3200/1.3v = ~815w at the wall Tried for 3300/1.32v and it powered off a couple of...

Hi tear, thanks again for your reply! The machine is basically just shutting off completely after a few seconds of load. I will try another psu to make sure that's not the case, though 1200w should be ok! It doesn't do it at stock speeds or even up ~3ghz. but once I push a bit harder or use...

Hey guys! I'm back with more retarded questions! :D Have finished my newest 4p opteron build this time watercooled and using spicey chips! The idea was to bring home a few cups from hwbot and then set it to DC duties for the rest of its life. But I'm still having lots of trouble ocing it! Got...

I don't suppose anyone trustworthy on here would have the ability to buy one or two of these boards for me and ship it to Aus? I have a couple of big server cases, PSU's, plenty of ram and 4x 6172's doing nothing so this might be a good spot for them.

20Mill in WCG. Need to get my opteron machine up and running still!

Awesome milestones guys! Keep up the good work :D

Yah, sounds like a bad contact. Increased resistance = heat. A lot of those cheap adapters use thin wires and the connectors aren't the best.

Nice milestones!!

Sorry for the late reply! That's dissapointing if that's the case with mine too. But luckily I have all the studs from the current 212 heatsinks that I can reuse if need be :)

After the issues/drama with f@h and bigadv a lot of people gave up. It's still a little active but unfortunately won't be like it was.

Awesome!! Love big core machines :D. That would be at least 50% faster than my IL 64 core opteron machine. Run it for as long as you can :D.

Congratz everyone, some massive milestones here! :D

Hi tear, thank you for getting back to me :). Wow, that temperature stuff is complicated haha! So I guess I'll find out it's too hot when it just shuts down?

Worked it out (sort of). Used the script from Andrew Hazelden's blog . Now just have the issue with this shitty board giving my opteron temperatures! I'm 99% sure my opterons don't run at 27c at full load. I've tried, coretemp, tpc -temp, hwm blackbox. Everything just gives what I think is the...

Hi guys! I know G34 is a bit last decade but I was hoping some people might be able to help me out with some overclocking. I've had great success with ocng and ocing retail opterons :). But this time I've got some ES chips and I was trying to get them running a bit quicker first for some...

Woo! go team :D

Thanks for the suggestion grandpa, but unfortunately now that the whole board is dead I have no idea what else would need replacing as well as the CPU socket. Also the shipping costs would probably kill the value :( New board arrived yesterday! Another H8QGi+-f. Currently load testing it...

Congratz Beekeeper! :D

Keeper of the bees!!

Boards dead :(. Won't boot at all now. Powers up for half a second and switches off with CPU installed :(. Tried both psus same thing. Well I guess I'm on the lookout for a new opteron board :(

I'm not really sure how this works, I'm still too new here. But can I nominate beekeeper([H]ardOCP) for passing 400k Work units in F@H? He has really been in it for the long haul!

That's insane!!! Nice work!

Hi Grandpa, I actually pulled that CPU and all memory and it still did it, so I don't think it's an issue with that socket. I lifted the board off the desk with some CD cases and added 3x 120mm fans blowing around the board. Still no dice :(. Shut down overnight. Next step I'll try Linden's...

Also a great idea Linden thanks. I haven't actually tested it idling. I have added some 120mm fans blowing cross ways over the board. Not sure if it's quite enough airflow. Will test like this, then I'll try the idling. And if it doesn't do it I might try and find a desk fan to blow over the...

Hi Gilthanis, I'm currently running 4xCM 212's for CPU cooling, the board was kept open air (not in a case) in an air conditioned office, so I assumed that was enough. But you could definitely be right, maybe it needs more airflow across the board. I will add a couple of 120mm fans on the bench...

Hi Linden, the link at the end of my post contains the issues I'm having. Thanks.

I know this isn't really the right place for this, but if any gurus on here have any ideas to help me get my 4P opteron machine boincing properly it would be much appreciated :). So much downtime on this machine so far :(. Thanks everyone...

Hi everyone! Hoping I might be able to get some help from the knowledge vault that is horde :D. I have a 4p opteron build here that I bought a little while ago second hand. Running a supermicro H8QGi+-f board and 4 opteron 6170 chips. The board had one cpu socket with a snapped pin (memory...

Wow! Congratz guys! Massive milestones!

Congrats!! The big one!

Although I still really have NFI what I'm doing. Emerald in MCM and bronze in a few of the others :)

Hi Gilthanis, It doesn't appear under the "my projects" tab on Bam! However when I go into "my detailed stats" and "project list" it does appear there! Very odd. I've noticed point allocation seems to update a bit oddly also. Bam! tells me that I only have 240.44 credit points from WCG. But if I...
