the following patch was just integrated into master: commit b4b298c4498834ad221fdefd8d9bae74daeaa468 Author: Timothy Pearson tpearson@raptorengineeringinc.com Date: Thu Sep 3 17:39:51 2015 -0500
mainboard/asus/kgpe-d16: Limit HT speed to 2.6GHz
The CPU <--> CPU HT wiring on this board has only been validated to 2.6GHz. While higher frequencies appear to function initially, and in fact function when only one CPU package is installed, dual CPU package systems will lock up after around 6 - 12 hours of uptime due to presumed HT link errors at the higher (>= 2.8GHz) HT clocks.
If applications are not being used that stress the coherent fabric, then the uptime before hang may be much longer. Users attempting to overclock the HT links are advised to "burn in test" the HT links by running memtester locked to a node with no local memory installed.
