Dang! You put it in a case. I have mine behind my computer desk. Even there it runs at 23 C while crunching.

lol I knew I kept the ancient antec workstation for something. I bought it for my first amd duron 700 build. it fits perfect. :up:

is this normal for one core to be higher?

non issue, as it's such a low temp it wouldn't concern me.
These are rated for 100C so 20 anything is cake..
Mine run at up to 40C in a closed case and 34C in an open case..
This is one of those deals where I look at the temps and then look at the X3380 at 57C at 100% load and just smile.:D

Perhaps, you may want to reapply thermal paste and remount the heatsink?

Kind of off topic, but... that exact power supply you have... I had one of them go out the other day. c_c I hate to even look at it. lol Not sure what size yours is but mine was 650w and it died after 2 years of running at maybe a max of 300W..

Anyways, sorry if I missed it in this huge thread but how many boinc points do these produce? And what could a complete setup cost someone?

The Corsair 400w is an excellent PSU for this build.
$49.95 at the egg.
As to cost to build( In the USA:
board: $30.00
memory: $37.00(2x1gig)
HS: $10.00 each and shipping
cpu's: Tough to say, it's "catch as catch can" from ebay.
maybe $100.00/pair right now

Thanks Dave! These are rather cost effective little items it seems. Who doesn't want a dual socket rig of some type? :up:

How many boinc points could one expect from this setup?

7000-8000 a day WCG points, divide by 7 for boinc points.

Avg. boinc for my 2gig sammys is 1009.28 or 7064.96 WCG. I have a pair of 1.6 setting on my desk doing nothing. I need to find them a home.

That's a pretty decent output for this price and power usage. I'm sure that's why there's a 46 page long thread on them. =p Thanks guys.

It isn't that it's huge power as it isn't.
What it is, is a decent output in a machine that will essentially run without maintainence, ok, so blow out the dust twice a year, run cool, use just a little elec and do all of the above well.
The key is that the parts were orginally server quality.
The board was $430-480 depending on who was selling.
At that price back in 2006 it wasn't worth doing but at $30.00 for the board and $100.00 for a pair of cpu's it is.
My Sammy rigs have done well over 2,000,000 WCG points so far.

Another good thing is the amount of heat produced. My Q6600 alone could heat my room in the winter. (Also doesn't help that my room is upstairs.)

Oh yeah, check the CPU power in the HW monitor window. Victor knew what was good.

Yup, that's right. 30W fully loaded, 50C passive on my CNPS-9500. 12W idle :ROTF:

this was the deciding factor when building the Sossa. I honestly can't believe how cool this sever runs under full load. I live in Florida and the room it runs in doesn't heat up at all. I had to see it run first hand, before I believed. :p:

We've had enough new projects lately to at least have 1 of them be CUDA based. Too bad. =/

On another off topic side note I upgraded my athlon 6400+ to a phenom 9600 because my old rigs mobo died and I had the phenom waiting to be used thanks to an awesome member from here. I oc'd the phenom to 2.7ghz, not sure if it'll go higher. Cpu temp is around 42*c with some cheap copper butterfly HS I had. (24*c amb)

I'd like to mess around with a sossaman rig.

I also got a little sidetracked fiddling with the alsa usb sound driver, I've been trying to get 5.1 analog out of this usb card and it took writing my own patch to the driver to get it working... gotta love Linux!

The 64 bit requirement for folding is only if you are running SMP on the CPU under Linux. If it is SMP under Windows, 32 bit is fine. GPU only needs Windows (though some have gotten it working under Linux). So with running WCG on the CPU, bits are a moot point :)

either that or f@h needs to get serious about a linux gpu client, they've been talking about it for a while now it seems.

nvidia or ATI card?

nvidia should take only a couple percent at the most. ATI does take a whole core by default unfortunately, but if you tinker enough (and pull a few hairs) you can get it to drop down decently enough. Not as low as nvidia but usually pretty close.

i had to add 'noirqdebug' to my grub init line to resolve that (not really a resolution, just prevents the kernel from trying to jump in to 'fix' things by disabling the irq and making it even WORSE).

i also noticed that the EDAC module goes completely CRAZY posting errors to dmesg every 100ms when the video card is doing 'work' (also known as playing X-Wing Alliance...) or anything that requires 3d acceleration.
looks like it doesn't appreciate being on a gen1 pcie 8x bus and would rather have room to stretch its legs...
i fixed that one by just disabling the EDAC module altogether!

anyway, just wanted to share that i didn't have any of these problems with the quadro nvs 290 or the geforce 8600gt because they're not quite as hungry for bandwidth. with the geforce 9800gtx, i can really see that it's starving for a wider bus.

So far, i have not experienced any problems yet.

you have a case that allows your to mount your card horizontally? if so, go for it. if not, then you have to find one that rises up vertically.

Intel Board

Ok my Sammy(s) build has been forever in the waiting-life has its bumps sometimes. anyways I am setting up the board, drive and PSU on a nice clean shelf so I am going caseless. After doing some reading which metal prongs at the bottom of the board i am supposed to touch together with say, a screwdriver, to jumpstart the board? I tried last night a few times had the lights on the board once I had it plugged in; but the lights seemed to flicker on and off. Now I figure i am doing this all wrong:(. Also I am going to setup another board and all the components just to make sure it is not any of the parts.
Just to double check I have a bunch of 2gb and 1gb for all my boards-if for now I am only placing 2 of each( of course just the same number;)) which slots would they go in?
Thanks guys

According to the manual for this board, you fill from top down. So I'd put two 2GB in the first two slots and the next two slots put the 1GB.

Oh something I discovered about the 8 pin CPU power... a 4 pin works fine on it (that's all I have). Just center the 4 pin on the 8 pin (make sure you got the latch on the correct side), and shove it in :D Yeah it fits tight because you are sticking a "square peg in a round hole" so to speak but it works, and these CPUs pull so little power that only one 12V per CPU is fine. The wires and plug don't get even slightly warm.

I wouldn't do that.. Get a 4 to 8 pin adapter from PPPC's for under $10.00..:D

I may consider doing that, but it results in basically the same thing anyway (all the power through the 4 pin).

As of right now I have sammy 2 up and running! I am totaling 16 cores crunching :D That's nothing compared to some here but considering I went from 8 rigs to 4 and have more (and faster) cores running I think it is pretty good :up:

Now to rig something up a little more permanent for sammy 1 and 2 to fit in instead of sitting on boxes sitting on the desk and floor :rofl:

Now to rig something up a little more permanent for sammy 1 and 2 to fit in instead of sitting on boxes sitting on the desk and floor :rofl:

you know I don't like rackmounts but Sammy is the exception to me..The question is would you need a @U or 3U to get by the HS and fan height..
They did put these in 1U's with those super lound little 40x56mm fans but that would drive you nuts..
maybe the cheapest way out is just a 2ft or 4ft wide shelving unit and lay them in place on cardboard..

Yeah that's what I'm figuring. A cardboard thing of some sort.

Eventually I want to have a rack, with 4U cases (can take standard PSUs that way, with standard PCIe cards), and stick all crunchers in the rack. Have the bottom half full of 4U cases with quads (or better), top half with KB, mouse, LCD, and radiators, and have the whole thing watercooled. That's my dream anyway :D

Really? i thought 2.16ghz is the highest. What is the sSpec for the 2.3ghz?

edit:

i can't find any 2.3ghz here.

I don't know off the top of my head. They were used in a funky 4 blade unit shaped like a normal tower..
I even called the company to see if they had any left..:D
Let me see if I can find a link to it.

That is weird. According to the intel processor sSpec finder, there is no 2.33ghz intel xeon lv.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/Lis...528&SearchKey=

Filter by package: Micro-FCPGA

:confused:

edit: nvm, SL9HM did not come up in that list as well, so i guess there are 2.33ghz sammys.

The more I think on it that 2.33 they mention in the PDF probably is a merom and not a sossaman..
Those would be interesting as they are 4mb cache and 800fsb native and 64 bit OS capable..

Well, the specs listed under "NEXXUS 4820-BB" are exactly described as a sossaman. On the other hand, under "NEXXUS 4820-AL", they listed the model of the Xeon LV processor which is 64bit capable.

Hmmm, one thing caught my attention is under "NEXXUS 4820-BB", they listed the 2.33ghz sossaman is 32gb and up to 64gb memory capable. Don't you think for a 32bit processor would be able to use 64gb of ram?

The 5148 cpu's they list for that are the low voltage woodcrests, like the orginal C2D's..E6600's
It's a cluster server so interlinked it could use that much memory.. It's like a baby Cray in some ways..
16 sammys interconnected would have some interesting computing power and in that case would be decent..
Time for bed and congrats on your find..
You can PM me how much you stole it for!:D

Is your 2160 sammy going to get mixed up in one of those pairs? :hrhr:

I'm working on a case design for my sammys. Would be much easier if I could use one PSU to run both of them. Has anyone done this before? If I split the 24 pin between the two boards, and I hit the power button of one, would both come on together? If I tell one to shut down, does it shut both down or just end up restarting the one, or....? How would this work? Does anyone know? :shrug:

I wouldn't.. Go to newegg and get the Corsair 400w PSU..
Excellent and to be honest, perfect for a sammy rig..

Well I have two PSUs, that's not the issue. Just that the box size is perfect to fit both sammies in and a single 500W PSU. I can shove both PSUs in there, just thought maybe one would make things potentially easier.

I never liked the idea of putting two systems on one PSU even if it was a big one.. Just doesn't seem the smart way to go and leaves you open to losing 2 systems if something nasty happens.

How true.

I'll just shoehorn both PSUs in this box then :D

There are howto's with C2D based systems on the internet. I've seen one and it should work. I'd have a look around at google. 2 Sammys would be fine on any PSU, it would only be 200W maximum.

Ran into an snag. Everything was fitting perfectly in this box until I realized I need a spot to put the hard drives. With one PSU there would be enough room for the drives but with two PSUs it is a struggle. If only this was about 2 inches taller...

I did a google, Looky I found CyberDruid posting how to do it - with the power up questions I had answered! :D
