The socket is 479 and the mounts are s604.

Does this need special heatsinks ?

Well kinda special, i found only one cooler which fit to that board:

Thanks. These are the sinks that Dave uses, they're a lot cheaper. Maybe we could do a group buy on them for all the guys in Europe?

Man those are cheap :)
Good thing is than it doesn't matter which heatsinks u use with 32W TDP cpus :D

Guys:
1) The board ONLY uses DDR2-400(PC2-3200) ECC REG memory..ONLY!!!!
2) Only the HS from OEMXS work..ONLY!!!!!!
There were two different mounts used for these chips.
Intel chose one, everyone else used another.
Intel's version is a socket 604/771 hole parrern in the MB BUT you can't use any of the regular 604/771 HS for it.
Now here's the good part:
OEMXS is 19 miles from my house.
I have bought these from them twice.
First time I had them shipped, they charged me $25.00 to ship the two heatsinks.
Second time I went and picked up 8 of them and they cost me $10.00 each and just the time and gasoline to drive 38 miles..:up:
3)I know the guy at the motherboard place a little.
I'm sure I can get him to send me a "bunch" of the boards at one time and save some shipping.
4) Who in Europe is going to send US in the US some of the 2000 sossamans at that wonderfull price?:D

Edit: Good catch s0lid:
Those HS will work also, smaller than the others but pure copper.
I wonder how they would work..

See if those are available in Europe at a decent price before we continue.

Dynatron contact page in Europe with a German contact address down on the page:

If someone can take care of the boards and the sinks, I can take care of the CPUs. Interested? I think I could get them shipped to the US for €40/pair, going down when more items are added of course.

I don't think the mem will be an problem.
Nice, we get coolers from u, maybe the mobos at same?

Well, jcool is gonna take care of the mobos already. He's gonna also check for those sossaman cpus and he lives in germany where those cpus are.

If somebody would send the mobos to Jcool, he could redirect some mobos for us... Yes he said he's gonna take 5-10 of those mobos :rofl:

Jcool correct me if i'm wrong :D

Ah good. That would save a lot on shipping within Europe as well. I haven't found those Dynatrons though, they seem to be pretty rare? :shrug:

40.00 EUR = 57.2835 USD
So a pair of 2000 sossamans for $60.00USD shipped?
That's a steal!:up:

The standard boxes I use cost €5,25 to have them shipped if they weigh less than .5kg. That should be possible. 10 CPUs will fit in there. I think $50/pair would be doable. Let me check what it costs to get 10 shipped to my home.

EDIT: They're out of stock. Lucky me, I got 4 of them :D

If someone needs a pair of these, I am willing to trade them for a board and a pair of sinks :p:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo, any idea when they will be back instock?

Is there anyone in the US that can send a pair of sinks and a few motherboards this way? I believe Jaco also managed to get a pair before they went OOS.

Like I told before, I am willing to let go of one pair to anyone here. I have no issues sending one pair to Solid in Finland, but I think it would be best if I could include that with a motherboard and sinks to minimize shipping rates.

What we need from overseas (with Jaco's stuff included) are 3 boards and 6 (or 4, depending on Jaco) sinks. I could get them shipped out to Finland and Belgium for cheap, shipping to Finland or Belgium would add €11.25 (considering the package weighs less than 2kgs) to the total amount.

We only need someone to have everything shipped to Europe.

Yep, btw what comes to paying the mobo and cpu + sinks:
1. I pay them when u got the stuff over there or
2. I pay them when the stuff are here _when_ and i got some money :D?

Now i go to bed, good night all...

Suggestion:
Wait a couple days to make sure that everyone in Europe that wants a board and HS has had a chance to comment here then we can do one order for the boards and one for the HS.

Sure why not, we don't need to rush on this :D
But is the SM s604 backplate included and/or required with that "OEMXS" cooler?
09-07-2008, 01:14 PM
jcool

Where does it say out of stock?

Please guys, let me verify that this German shop truly does have a bunch of these CPUs, if they only have like 2 or 3 you already overbooked them and this whole thing isn't gonna work. The CPUs are normally hard to find, and the mobos aren't worth squat without a source for CPUs.
Mem etc. ain't the problem, but we need to secure cheap CPU source before going all crazy.

Agreed.. I'm not ordering anything until you guys know that the cpu's are available.:up:

I want to order a pair of cpu too, let me know if they are still available.

I'm tempted to build two of these systems. That is, if we have a confirmation on the CPUs.

Dammit, I have to avoid that phone call from Dave!

Okey..

Once upon a time, there was an old man named Dave.

Now Dave had these nice cpu's and a youngin snatched the cpu from Dave by offering him a price he couldnt refuse.

Now this youngin went, Oh im Xtreme, im gonna Xtreme out the Sossoman setup.

This is the result:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/IMG_1079.jpg

Now im not finished. Dave saw that and went OMG! However, the youngin was WRONG.

That DOESNT WORK. So if any of you guys want to try to get smart over dave like i did, you'll fail. So listen to DAVE! :rofl:

Then end.

Oh you need those special sinks. Any other sink would crush the die from weight. I tried to get the best chipset cooler on the market and moded it, however i failed horribly. :[
Next im gona watercool it. Probably on a zalman reserator since thats about all its good for. :rofl:

LMAO, that's kinda epic fail :rofl:

Movieman: u mean than the memory will only work at 400mhz even it's spec to 800mhz? Or the memory has to be 400mhz?

E: what the heck, 1gb of 400mhz ecc ddr2 costs only 14€ in Germany.

How tall are those oemxs heatsinks? I have a 2U rackmount case in the garage that I have yet to wedge anything into, and space still in the rack.

Either way, if someone can arrange me some cheap CPUs in the states, I'm in.

App 2 inches tall..all aluminum, BUT you should have fans on them so add another 25mm unless that case is set up with the sideways mounted fans to blow thru the HS..
One of those tiny chipset fans is nice also on the NB and SB..
