    [Wanted] S939 motherboard (ASUS/DFI only); Phenom II X4 965 BE / 1090T (EU)

    in Sold

    Posted

    I am glad to see this new part of hwbot. Let's celebrate it as it should:

     

    250px-Pound_layer_cake.jpg

     

    Alright, let's stay focused on what we're here for.

     

    S939 motherboard

     

    I'm looking for an ASUS or DFI motherboard, socket 939, which works of course. DFI is preferred but ASUS is OK.

    My price range is approximately 30-40€ + shipping.

     

    Phenom II X4 965 BE / 1090T

     

    I'm looking for two types of CPUs:

     

    Phenom II X4 965 BE C3 (= HDZ965FBK4DGM/HDZ965FBGMBOX)

     

    Batch number has to be one of the following:

    0944FPMW 0933FPMW 1010XXXX

     

    I require a CPU-Z validation or score (like SuperPi 1M) and a clear picture of the IHS. I prefer scores done on air, around 4Ghz.

     

    Phenom II X6 1090T (= HDT90ZFBK6DGR/HDT90ZFBGRBOX)

     

    Batch number has to be one of the following:

    1022BPMW 1012XXXX 1015XXXX 1021XXXX 1023XXXX

     

    I require a CPU-Z validation or score (like SuperPi 1M) and a clear picture of the IHS. I prefer scores done on air, around 4Ghz.

     

    For both, my price range is about 60-90€ (depending on the CPU + performance).

    How to cool down old stuff

    Just before we get into ghetto extreme 3D overclocking, let's prepare our memory modules for extreme performance.

     

    For this we need:

     

    - external hard drive case (metallic)

    - some tools

     

    First, cut the case in two pieces:

    Since edges are a little bit sharp, we have to fix it:

     

    http://s11.postimage.org/5s2tyavj5/WP_001188.jpg

     

    Finally, we can see there is more free space. This is particularly useful when using motherboards with totally unoptimized DIMM slot layout (like the Crosshair III Formula):

    Tomorrow, extreme overclocking on RAM, CPU (of course) and maybe GPU ! Stay tuned.

    Is overclocking dying?

    Overclocking is just getting more and more serious. Since most chips run well under LN2/LHe, people left "normal" overclocking.

     

    And for tablets, well... Some still think they're useful. I personally disagree. Also, using laptops/tablets has nothing to do with overclocking. If you /really/ want to get involved in overclocking, buying a tablet is not a problem. The important point is to be active in the OC community.

    New wPrime error

    in Benchmark software

    Posted

    Hi :)

     

    So like everyone I was benching wPrime (on air) but it just wouldn't work. I always got the following errror:

     

    "The remote server doesn't exist or is unavailable."

     

    When this happened, I had access to the console mode. I tried to set 127.0.0.1 as server but it didn't help.

     

    Ideas ?

     

     

    System:

     

    1090T @ 4GHz 1.425V

    C3F

    Alright, we really needed to get this working so we finally managed to put an old S939 heatsink on it. The red ribbon is dead, sorry. :(

     

    First, we need to "insulate" the core area so that the heatsink won't make a short circuit

    http://s14.postimage.org/byygurhb3/WP_001116.jpg

     

     

    Then, we "zip-paste" the heatsink on the board:

    http://s14.postimage.org/4lj2vsx9b/WP_001117.jpg

     

     

    Here you can observe the good contact with the die/core:

    http://s14.postimage.org/9crolxnxc/WP_001118.jpg

     

     

    Here is a before/after vmod shot (the old one being done with tape, the new one is slightly more decent):

    http://s14.postimage.org/ww3f7jd5r/WP_001120.jpg

     

     

    Final version, ready for benching:

    http://s14.postimage.org/vibsc8dwf/WP_001121.jpg

     

     

    And as always, bent card. That's kind of a footprint of me...

    Finally, live shot of the event:

     

     

    Stay tuned for extreme(ly) (ghetto) overclocking of this board !

    Raspberry Pi OC ?

    in Offtopic

    Posted

    Does anyone have a raspberry pi? We have a beta multiplatform bench in java. Tested on win/linux/mac and works well, both with a gui and in console mode. Normally it should run on a raspberry too if you install an ARM java runtime.

     

    github link:

    https://github.com/frederikcolardyn/benchbot/tree/master/primebench

     

    How do I use the source files ? Can't figure out how to include hwbot libraries. :D

    Forgive my noob skills in programming.

     

    NB pot might work. Though there is a row of pins near the core. Guess it depends on the size of the base. There is that thread about making a NB pot from the copper insert of the Intel stock coolers. That might be small enough.

     

    From the looks of it, the core is probably powered from a linear regulator. If it's a fixed one, just pop it off and get an adjustable one. If it's adjustable regulator, find the resistors that set the adj pin.

     

    I don't have an Intel cooler that I can mod for a small pot, so I'll try something with aluminum foil.

     

    Here are some pictures of the board:

    http://s7.postimage.org/gb3xns5oq/WP_001112.jpg Back side

     

    EDIT: When using the front GND, results differ from when using the back GND (although it's the same solder point). I don't understand why.

     

     

    I expect the main issue will be in keeping the regulator and crystal from coldbugging.

    The 19.2MHz crystal right under the core is not going to appreciate Cold at all.

     

    What crystal are you talking about ? I have no idea what it may be.

     

     

    Too expensive. :o

    Let's take a single-slot, low-profile Radeon HD 2400 Pro (128Mb).

     

    After vmodding the card with tape (and not soldering sh*t, it's useless :D ) we have to cool it. Why not stick a Socket 462 heatsink on it ?

     

    http://s13.postimage.org/3sek62c85/WP_001089.jpg

    http://s13.postimage.org/ob9gb4q5h/WP_001088.jpg

     

    Since this brand new dual-slot card take some place we had to move it to the bottom of the motherboard. To hold the heatsink on the GPU we use red ribbons with plastic zips. Other color ribbons may improve heat dissipation.

     

    Also, don't forget the fan.

    http://s13.postimage.org/8omsbi1r9/WP_001095.jpg

     

    Results were not good enough. The core was not even in contact with the surface of the heatsink. We decided to do a stack of two heatsinks. The card is now triple-slot.

    http://s13.postimage.org/qfyepyh5x/WP_001096.jpg

     

    We managed to get it into the first PCI-Express slot. Success !

     

    http://s13.postimage.org/4cyoteo9x/WP_001101.jpg

     

    Notice how the card is bent:

     

    http://s13.postimage.org/y3ltf699h/WP_001100.jpg

     

    Finally, we put the black heatsink since the big grey one was crap.

     

    http://s13.postimage.org/8alyitb39/WP_001103.jpg

     

    It still didn't work so let's get to our conclusion:

     

    1) We can transform single-slot cards into double-slot cards.

    2) We can transform single-slot cards into triple-slot cards.

    3) We can make low-profile cards look cool.

    4) The ribbon is a lie.

    5) Don't forget the fan.

    6) Air cooling < LN2
