Contest to Win FX-6100 (de-lidded)

[trekky]

I've updated the second post with another picture of the Cpu after the solder was removed.

Beat 4.827 sec at CP to be in first place atm.

Was thinking about breaking in the 8320 for a shot at this myself...

no CPUz and appears to be using 2 CPUs which does not break your rules?

Proof or it doesn't count.

I agree no CPUz shot

I was just kidding trekky - I'm sure he'll put up the score. (Nevermind, I thought he was saying he beat 4.827s... I misunderstood. He was actually saying anyone needs to beat 4.827s to take first place)

The contest is open to any platform, as stated in the rules at CP. So even a monster folding rig could get in on this.

but in his rules "AMD Cpu only x1 AMD Cpu any make"

You need one of THESE and just cruise home at stock clocks

 

[trekky]

I didn't even catch that. Good reading skills.

lol to broke for those also
im still rocking a 1100T
and my server is a 2x Core Duo T2500 at @2ghz
but I did see those and man 12cores each...wow

 

[ChanceCoats123]

I'm looking around, and a single cpu G34 motherboard can be had for ~$200, and one of those 6234 opterons at $170 puts a nice little benching rig not too far out of reach. I think that would handily run this competition.

 

[trekky]

lol u trying to talk me in to spending my book money?

You are correct.
LuckyBob did the run just for grins. It won't be counted. Shrimpy probably didn't realize it was a multi CPU setup.
Probably a good thing because Mr.Paco has an 8 opteron rig.

 

[trekky]

8 CPU? or 8 core?

 

[Mr.Scott]

Did I stutter? lol

8 CPU.

The lamposts on his street have to dimm when that thing goes under load.

Hahahaha
That's exactly what I said when I first saw it.

 

[trekky]

wow that's cool
how would one hook 2 boards to make one like that?

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Its typically done with server software. You have one main server and the rest just talk to it. Normally referred to as a compute cluster.

 

[Mr.Scott]

That setup is actually a mother/daughter board setup. The upper board actually sits on a riser card joining the pair together.

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Now THAT is epic!

If only it wasn't a billion degrees in my house.

I can't quite pull off that 4.83GHz like I could in the winter. Max right now is about 4.6... and no way my FX is gonna beat these Phenom II's in the first place, so I would need all the power I could pull out of this 4100. Plus I don't have anything but a Hyper 212+... doesn't match up to some of the awesome rigs on here.
