how would bolt thru heatsinks work? what would you do about the four screws that hold the metal socket piece in place?
edit: i can't find any bolt thru heatsinks for this platform... where are they?

Thanks. Worked nicely, apart from me drilling the original pilot holes in the wrong place - d'oh!Quote:

Hi there,
i have bought four thermal take A one heatsinks and i have broken plastic hintches and mount them normally.Dont drill the board,later today i will post pics of the quad and the Arima nm model.
give me some time to get back home.
No one at any point has said anything about drilling holes in the board.Quote:

i hope so. i'm getting inpatient to get this up and rolling.. points are a wastin'
Nothing going post wise, either cpu in socket 1 or any combination of ram. Using a PCP&C 610 silencer and it has the needed connections. Getting fans but no beeps and it responds to power down presses. Anyone know a trick to these guys?
FILE NOT FOUND, where are you? :)
Make sure cpu0 is filled and cpu0_dimm1-4 is filled. Try just that combo
Edit: if that doesn't work I think you're SOL. Everything I can find on that board lists compatibility with 2000 series opterons only
Manual calls for starting on slot 7-8. May not be labeled the same as the quad board. Not even getting a beep code with no ram installed though so not thinking RAM for now.
Keep trying I guess
I haven't read through this whole thread yet and was wondering, how many PPD (WCG points)are you looking at with the 4 x 8347's. :shrug:
30kish.
Any luck mojo?
Nah, I've used up my testing trick pool. I bought a 2212 to test with, as I'm betting on CPU compatability issues at this point. If I'm limited to 2000 series CPUs I'll just grab a pair of 23xx quads when I see a good deal and save the 8347s for a quad board. So unless someone has some tips I'll know more in a few days. Playing with random server parts sure is fun, been a long time since I've tried to put together something I wasn't sure was going to work or not.
i was going to suggest that next. i read in an earlier thread that if you update to the v1.8 bios it should allow 8000 series quads to work. might try that
Nice, I was hoping that'd be the case. The 8000 quads are much easier to find cheap.
yeah especially since i already bought four of them lol
Mojo,
There should be no difference between 2xxx and 8xxx, they all came out at the same time and a board which will run one will run the other. Are you running the onboard VGA or an external card? There's a jumper to switch between the two, check it's in the right place...
Also check the manual to see if there's any jumpers that govern booting to a serial console (which you want to disable) or other such oddities
Using onboard, only option unless I crack a pcie slot open. I've been over everything obvious manual wise, switched the onboard vga off then back on, reset BIOS etc. I've got a deffective board, it doesn't like the CPUs or there is some oddball thing I'll never spot on my own. CPU is the only thing I can check for sure at this point so headed that direction.
What's the specs on your RAM?
they're ddr2 ecc reg pc2-4200. we have the same ramz
It won't even give post code beeps with no RAM installed. Thats a pretty early failure in the POST process I'm looking at.Quote:
