There is a PC-DL NCCH-DL Hybrid BIOS that supports these CPUs.

You may need another CPU to flash the BIOS, or someone to do it for you.

Check out datamine.tk for the BIOS.

Does the BIOs work fully now? I heard there were issues.

Thanks for telling me what prices I should be looking for... I'm not planning on buying anything without asking about it here... things like these are to important to f*** up, so be ready to answer a lot of stupid questions each time I think I saw the bargain of a lifetime :D

Yea, works fine from others posts.

Id never run those CPUs on that MB though.

It has a hard enough time dealing with 1.65v on 3.3ghz CPUs.

Id hate to see the VRM try and deal with some 3.2 Noconas.

Why do you need 1.65V on 3.3GHz CPUs? I have around 10 rigs running at 3.3GHz+ on 1.5V - 1.6V bios, 1.42-1.55 actual, full load 24/7 with no problems. No vcore or Vdroop mods.

Because they were 1.6s ;)

The u-wire mod D2, D3 worked on a NCCh-DL today. 2.4 MO's @3400 GHz :lol:

Is there by any chance that there is a 2.0 ghz type of the C1 and D1 stepping?

I know this question sounds really dumb but trying to get back into the crunching game and well are xeons dual core? Roughly how many daily cands can this xeon cruncher put out?

No, not dual core. Dual processor.

About 280 to 340/day, w both processors. We run 4 instances of D2OL on 'em, 2 per CPU.

the 280-340 cands a day is that with the 1.6ghz or the overclock 2.6?

I think those nubers would be overclocked 3.0-3.4 range depending on cooling.

My average is 290 running at 3.2

Dual 3.6Ghz puts out some cands.... :D

Hi again.
I have been using my dually for a month or so and it is a very quite system.

The system:
Xeon 2.0 LV @ 2.95 stock voltage (SL6XL)
Cooler Master E3W-NPTXS-04 passive heatpipes
Asus NCCH-DL
Forton 550watt ESP psu
4 x OCZ 512MB platinum (2GB ram)
ATI 9600se, 128MB
Thermaltake Armor Black case
an ancient 3GB HD (i think its a Quantum, lol. Files are on the server anyway)
LG DVD-R dual-layer

I have inverted the air flow of the rear 12cm fan of the Armor case, so it blows directly on to the heatpipes. I also installed a 9cm over the chipset so it moves air over it and the memories. I also installed the top 9cm fan so it pulls the hot air out faster. All in all, it is a very quite system.

Benchmarks
The dual Xeon 2.0 LV @2,95GHz cracks 5,2Mkeys on the www.distributed.net client. (sorry guys, I am hooked)
My single AMD Barton 2600XP+ @170 bus, cracks 7,2Mkeys. (This one kicks some serious a**)
My AMD64 3000+ @219 bus, cracks 7,8Mkeys.

When I will find some time I will do the cpu V-mod and I will try with the 1.6 LV Xeons also.

Has anyone tried running tccd and no vdimm mod ?
I have 2 sticks of patriot laying around that would help with the next machine.I will be running 200fsb 2-2-2-5.
If I need to mod it I will.
All my other machines are running bh5 and are modded.

Big_Deel, note my sig...that is 2GB of TCCD at 2.8V.

Yes, in my one system I'm using some patriot tccd with no mod at 2-2-2-5. Works fine with the stock 2.5v.

Yeah. I'm running some GSkill. At 140FSB! :) It does over 310 in my modded Epox NF3.

How do yo get an ASUS PC-DL to boot without a case ( not power switch)?

I have my new DX rig already to go now i need to kow how to boot it, I have never NOT put a computer in a case before and i can't figure out how to boot it.

Thanks :banana:

Find the pins on the board that are marked for the power switch and connect them with something (screw drivers, jumper, etc)

just pull two wires of an old case and put them on the pins you'd normally attach the power switch lead to. then just cross the other ends when you need to fire it up.

or some people just cross the pins with a screwdriver - not too fond of that one myself... though i've done it.

thanks

Will give it a try

KaptainBlaZzed, why does it say under your real time farm progress that each comp only has 1000 quene size?? U should set it to 2000, just so IF the upload server is offline, u have enough to last for about 15 or so days.
06-17-2005, 05:11 PM
KaptainBlaZzed

Will change the que size in a few.

my new DX rig will not make it into windows??:(

Install went OK but every time windows is about to load the monitor turns off but the computer stays on???

What could be the problem?? Everything is at stock

1.6GHz LV XEON SL6XK
ASUS PC-DL
2 x 256 mb PC3200 Patriot LLK 2.5Volt (2-3-2-5)
Sparkle 460W EPS PSU

What speed your RAM running at? Try loosening the timings...maybe it's not getting enough volts. Check your voltages on the PSU and for your RAM
