Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

I use a KGPE-D16 for gaming and it works great, why? why not? libre firmware should be the expected default. I updated the wiki article a few months ago to include recommended CPU's. C32 - dual channel max G34 - quad channel + more RAM The only reason to use C32 is the EE cpu's for routers

Hi Daniel, Run *dmidecode* and search for "Interleaved Data Depth" to check if the ram is running in quadchnnel mode you (check https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/215206/detect-number-of-ram-channels for more info on this matter). In your case you should have two "Interleaved Data Depth: 4"

Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

Hi Bogdan, I am running my KGPE-D16 with 2x6276 and 16 of these 8GB Samsung RDIMMs: M393B1K70DH0-YK0 They work fine in coreboot. If you want to run them at 1600MHz, you need to raise the voltage to 1.5V even if the vendor bios clocks them at 1600MHz with 1.35V. They work fine in this setting

Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

Hi BogDan, Your build is going to be really nice :). My comment was simply a generalized curiosity about how the Opterons stacked up against each other. Also as far as I can tell, the G34 motherboards seem to be somewhat easier to source. On 05/01/2017 03:42 PM, BogDan Vatra wrote: Hi,

Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

Hi, Well, as I said I already bought the motherboard and the CPUs and now is too late for me to consider other configs. IMHO it will be nice to have a wiki entry with coreboot friendly (full?) configs. Regarding the CPU power, I hope that my yocto/qt builds will be faster on 2 x 16 Core 6276

Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

Hi, Apart from features such as greater memory bandwidth, more cores, and more CPUS in an MP configuration (2/4), what are the advantages of the G34 vs C32 sockets? The C32s have CPUs with TDPs as low as 35w and more cores with higher clocks in a dual CPU configuration, i.e. the 4340 has 6

Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

Hi Zoran, Is not for gaming only :), it's *also* for gaming. I play games once per week and then I want my games to run ok. I'll usually using it for programming. Regarding why use coreboot instead of (AMI) BIOS, well, I think the question is why to use (AMI) BIOS when I can use coreboot ;-). I

Re: [coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

Hello Bogdan, One question for you: why you are using specifically Coreboot as boot-loader, instead of (AMI) BIOS? The question is because you are using desktop with AMD CPU for gaming. No specific needs for Coreboot, which is mainly for embedded applications. Any specific reason why you are
