Hello and...

Welcome to my humble userpage! :) I am not so used to edit pages or argumenting on forums, so please bear with me. My editing style is little but often, therefore my edits are minor (m) by default.

I gladly communicate with other users on the wiki as well to be active in discussions, editing, etc. I'll more than happily answer questions or try to help someway. I didn't learn wiki formatting code until I started editing here, and now the page starting to get æsthetic. If you have a question or just want to chat, fire away :)

My location is in the research bunker in Yantar, and my preferred armour/weapon combination is the SKAT-9M military suit with the "Farshooter" SVD loaded with 7.62x54mmR BP armour-piercing rounds and the Colt M1911A1 with .45ACP Hydra-Shok rounds.

As an Expert, I often get calls from the state to execute dangerous and sensitive missions and operations; most often lone wolf.

Equipped with humility, determination, superb analogue and enhanced digital senses and the best accessories, armour and weapons factories can produce; I am able to conduct operations deep behind enemy lines within the zone, and also restore order among the more antisocial elements and stalkers. My specialities are direct action (DA), special reconnaissance (SR), unconventional warfare (UW) and stealth operations.

One possible Achilles' heel though, would be overconsumption of vodka in seemingly dull environments that may not be so safe after all. The result is often many magazines of wasted expensive ammo, torn-up armour, medium health, a small bleeding and lots of corpses belonging to louts, fanatics, anarchists, guns-for-hire, zombies, snorks, and other animals.

See the pages I am the creator of so far (in chronological order):

• The Farshooter.
  

After seeing another user having it, I also decided to add some of my hardware specifications.

• I do possess the source code for the Dark Engine service release if anyone is interested, including the "missing" headers & the rest of the source. They have been floating around the internet for a while now.

• Notes:

*The AMD 900 chipset series northbridge is qualified & rated for HyperTransport 3.1 (3.20GHz, 6.40GT/s), but the 10.5h rig currently supports up to version 3.0 (2.60GHz, 5.20GT/s, 10.7GTi, 3MT/s edit rate) and hence the speed & bandwith of the lower one (3.0) is in use.

The NB & HT speeds are @ increased (restored) defaults; which are by default underclocked by 600MHz to 1.00GHz (the default HT bus on most K10.5s is 1.80GHz to 2.00GHz, 1.60GHz on the Sempron Sargas).

*The 10.5h rig currently supports up to 16.384GB DDR3 dual-channel SDRAM @ 800MHz (1.60GT/s).

All settings in my BIOS are generally on Auto- or Enabled mode, as for the C1E- & C6-states support, AMD-V(i), etc.

The only load increase on the system is the northbridge bandwith restoration, which is permanent and as I have noticed, apparently entirely error-free :)

Since everything else is @ stock speeds, there would be no obvious need for me to use water-cooling, but the water-cooling is there to reduce moving parts & dust.

The performance increase below is due to lower general latencies & higher bandwith in the HT 3.1 bus created by the increased (restored) NB speed discussed above. HT 3.1 follows the NB speed up to 2.60GHz with 10.5h cores on Auto mode. The same performance gain from increasing the NB and/or HT speed to any level is not present in the later 15h (FX) architecture CPUs.

My machine has 0.8ns L1, 2.5ns L2, 6.0ns L3 latencies, and around 12GB/s memory copying speeds with sub-50ns latencies.

• More coming.

• Pictures (previous rig):

The CPUID of my previous installation (rig).

A benchmark of it.

Same benchmark of it, but with more single-threaded operations.

The GPUID of my Powercolor 6970 PCS+.

The 6970 in idle/low load mode.

CPU & chipset temperatures are low & stable, stock cooling.

ZLib (file de/compression) test. Note: 3.70GHz operation is due to Turbo Core and not manual OC'ing; which I never use, and that both the 32-nm 3960X & 990X once was @ $999. Also note that the 990X uses a 6.40GT/s QPI; the FSB-replacement attempt at mimicing HyperTransport.

Hashing test, apparently one of this CPU's prime abilities.

Floating-point VP8 (video de/compression) test.

Memory copying speeds. With new HyperTransport 3.1 Revision C speeds, one would probably hit ≈ 16GB/s+ with an 1100T.

Scoring sub-50ns latencies.
