Hint: this is _NOT_ a 4p E5-4650. :)
It’s extremely OC'ed and probably currently the world fastest 4p, but not fully optimized yet. It would be faster in the near future.

A 4P AMD Opteron 6386 SE ES clocked somewhere between 3.4Ghz to 3.7Ghz? That would be my guess.

Probably some overclocked 4P of 16 core Piledrivers of some sorts.

Ok, now it’s time to announce the answer. ;)
Yes, this is just an OC’ed 4p Opteron 6100s rig with ES chips, SM H8QGL board and Corsair AX1200 PSU. However, its CPU frequency is pretty high, where CPU1, 3, 4 are working at 3.5GHz and CPU2 is at 3.6GHz, so the average is about 3.525GHz. Seems the system is stable when folding 8102 at 3.525GHz and the number shown in the kill-a-watt is around 1280W. The extremely high frequency helps it to get 1M PPD from 8102 in theory and beat 4p E5-4650 successfully. The tuning work is still ongoing, more detailed results will be reported later.

Have you finished a full unit or are you still tweaking/stabilizing?
 
lol i'm more concerned that he's running a 1200w psu and the kilawatt is saying 1280!
 
Hello, Pocatello! I think myself is a hardware enthusiast. I found the [H]ard forum several months ago and learned so much from all of you guys. It's impossible to build the current rig without the help of this forum. Thanks to all!

Hello.

Care to introduce yourself?

You got some nice hardware.

Not yet, I'm still doing some tests to determine the optimized setting for the rig.
Today I will try 3.55, 3.575, and 3.6GHz. Hope all of them would work.

I'm using the Noctua NH-U12DO A3, and all the stock fans have been upgraded.
The average CPU temperature for folding 8102 at 3.525GHz is 50-51C, when the room temperature is about 15C.

Nice to have you with us!
 
Hello everybody, now I'm pleased to annouce the final overclocking score of my 4p 6100s rig:
The Maximum stable frequency of my rig is proven to be:
Code: 
* for long time running:     3.525GHz (effective)
* for short time running:    3.600GHz
Here "long time" means being able to fold stably for more than 10 hours, "short time" means stable for at least several minutes.
The TPF & PPD result for a long time test of folding 8102 @3.525GHz:
Code: 
min TPF=6m43s, max TPF=6m47s, avg TPF=6m45s, theoretic PPD=990.5K
Though this is not its best TPF @3.525GHz (the best one is min TPF=6m40s), it's enough to beat the 4p E5-4650 a bit. :cool:
Higher frequency than 3.525GHz is unstable for long time running, it would always crash or shutdown automatically after several minutes. The maximum frequency I had tried was 3.6GHz, the rig would shutdown in no more than 10 minutes at this frequency. However, 10 minutes is enough to get some very pretty TPF & PPD result. Here is it (also got from 8102):
Code: 
min TPF=6m32s, theoretic PPD=1.04M

Vcore setting @3.525GHz:
Code:

The power draw on the wall is close to 1300Watt.

No, I'm using air cooling only and the heatsink model is Noctua NH-U12DO A3. But all of the stock FANs have been upgraded. Now there are six high-power FANs used for CPU cooling: 4x 12V 1.24A FANs for CPU3,4 and 2x 12V 3A FANs for CPU1,2.
The chips are bought from my local market. I bought 6 in total and choose the best 4 for using in the test. I feel lucky to see these chips are playing really good.

Nice! :cool: I assume WC setup? Did you get the chips off of the bay?

If only you could overclock a 4P E5 Xeon system... Imagine 32c/64t @~4Ghz...
 
Thanks, it`s an incredible overclocking you have done with those chips! I am thinking of bying four of this chips http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281014486937&ssPageName=ADME:X:BOCOR:US:1123 The fact is that Interlagos is better then MC (same number) in folding 810x, and if it is possible to clock this AMD Opteron ZS232545TGG45 ES 16Core 2.3GHz as much as you did with the Opteron 6168 ES I hope it will go sky high in frequency.

Hmmm.... I am thinking about buying a set of those also. Does anyone know if you work in a Gi board?

Did you pull the PayPal <ENTER> on those? I did so my self a few hour ago, and can se now that there are only two left. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281014486937&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 I will have them populated in the box early next week, and I am very exciting about who far they can be clocked. The hope is that I will manage to reach the magic TPF 6:42 or better.

Hmmm.... I am thinking about buying a set of those also. Does anyone know if you work in a Gi board?

I'll be waiting for your good news, though 6:42 might be not so easy to overcome. :cool:
