Yet another build on the way :)

[kenc51]

I just can't stop........

Here's what I've just ordered

2x 2GB G.Skill DDR2 PC2-6400 HZ Series (D9 IC's) --> yes two kits
1x Seasonic S12E+ 650W --> Silence...finally
1x Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi AP --> Replacement for my dead P5B, most people are getting way over 500MHz FSB with the latest bios!

Should be here Monday.

Hey Ken,

Want to send some of that disposable income my way?

nice... just remember to post pictures!

[stopthekilling77]

folder or daily use?

[kenc51]

There will be pics, don't worry. It's a personal build. I've wanted a quiet PSU for a long time now. I got 2 kits of ram because prices are at an all time low and according to DRAMeXchange, the prices are going back up, so now is the time to buy (If i had the $$ I'd be on the commodities market buying now too)
The mobo is costing me about 40euro as I'm returning the P5B. They said I could upgrade instead as the P5B is still selling well.

And yes it will be added to my little folding farm

scared ken? You should be

[kenc51]

I should have mentioned.....this is only the beginning

Whats beaker gonna do?

[pcrobot]

Congrats Ken! Have fun with it, I'll be looking for pics!

Ask bunsen to make some diabolical invention to help me fold with

[kenc51]

Them is fighting words
Bunsen better get his thinking cap on, because you have to claw back ~30K and my PDD is still rising ;)

I should be replacing my E6300 for a Q6600 in a month or so.......The E6300 will replace my 3800+ as that can just about complete SMP WUs within the 4 day deadline (thats with native 64bit ubuntu)
Dont forget the X35 chip set will be here soon.....my ¨electronics envy¨ might just force me to get one of those aswell
I could even move my X1900 over to the AMD rig, 330pts every 9hrs
Also, my Lappy is only folding (native 64bit ubuntu SMP) when Im home, that can easilly change ;)

I might just go on vacation for a while.........since Beaker needs all the help he can get

Slainte

[dicecca112]

ouch that hurt right here. Figures I get a lappy and plan on downgrading the current system and you add to your farm.

[kenc51]

Im just a tease ;)

6GB of D9s, Yeah baby
The Mobo and PSU should be here tomorrow.

2x1GB of Micron D9GKX ICs @ the top
4x1GB of Micron D9GMH below
= Lots of fun for me this week

[Apoptosis]

mmmmm memory!

and 6GB of D9's to boot!

[kenc51]

Im testing now, one stick @ a time. Im setting 2.2v from the get-go as this will be my 24/7 setting.
First stick is @ 900MHz 4-4-4-12 2.2v auto everything else.
Im also using the Abit 650i board, which I never really got used to. Testing all this ram and a board, Its going to be a late night.....

Also I got confirmation the mobo and psu will be delivered tomorrow as well ;)

[DMB2000uk]

Wow, its soo pretty

Dan

[kenc51]

Initial testing show all the DIMMS perform about the same

Setup:
Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI Nvidia 650i Chip Set
E6300 1.35v ~1.9GHz
VDIMM 2.2v | Unlinked | NB 1.31v | 4-4-4-12(Manually set) other timings set to auto

Stick #1: Maxed out @ 1020MHz
Stick #2: Maxed out @ 1015MHz
Stick #3: Maxed out @ 1025MHz
Stick #4: Maxed out @ 1020MHz

I only tested each stick with Memtest86+ for ~10 loops of test #5, but testing was equal for each stick.
I'm not re-testing the PC8000 set as I want to see what I can do with 4 dimms loaded ;)

They are all from the same batch, if anyone is interested. 7230 = 30th Feb '07

[kenc51]

Just a few pics as I want to get this thing built..
P5K Deluxe WiFi AP & Seasonic S12 650W

[kenc51]

Still testing, but here's where Im at now

[kenc51]

Sorry, I was too busy lately to update this thread.
I was just about to test how far the ram can go with 2x 1gb sticks at a time, but.....
I just found out my PC8000 kit (D9GKX IC's) is dead
One of the sticks gives errors every time when running Memtest, it fails every time at the same point in test #2 (and others)
I liked those sticks! I was hoping to get past 1.2GHz with those on the P35 board.
Ahh well, they have a lifetime warranty and Memory-Configurator.com have always been good to me, so I'm not worried.

I'm gonna see how far I can push the PC6400 ram with all DIMMS loaded.
I'm currently @ 950 4-4-4-18-3-30-3-3-8 2T (4 GB loaded). I'll try a few dividers and see how far past 1GHz I can get.

[kenc51]

I tested using the 6x multi and no boot above 497MHz FSB, seems the CPU has reached it's max
Testing 7x416MHz (2.9GHz) and the 667MHz divider now, 4 sticks @ 1GHz 4-4-4 2.2v
I'll post screenies once things are found to be stable.
