No crunching yet for me as per previous reasons :)
unrelated to WCG, but anyone got unraid running on this, or using this board for fileserver purposes?
I'm trying to reuse this system.
Hmm I'll just try out the gpu on an older board then. I'd rather not kill the board, but I probably won't miss it anyway. If all else fails, I'll put the PSU back in the core 2 duo machine I have for the time being.Quote:

Madam doesn't have a practical limit to the number of drives have in the array as opposed to the proprietary limitations of unraid. I/O overhead is pretty minimal too.Quote:

I've run #! (crunchbang) on it fine. Debian based. Go for it - nothing like showing off 16 cores to an IT class :P
Update: So BEAST booted up just fine and started throwing these errors that I had seen before but it still crunched and ran fine. So I got the tablet out and Googled it up and it was a memory error that led me to believe that bank 0 was faulty. So I shut it down and replaced the RAM. I think I boobooed on not switching the power supply off as now it won't boot at all :down:
Yuck. Give it time - CMOS reset and all that. Fussy blighters that they are. Now wonder Arima stopped making mobos around the time ours were made...
Oh a lighter note: I picked up 2 of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arima-AMD-Op...-/360504247293
I made an offer for $40/each and they took it. The shipping is $15/per but they only charged me $20 shipping for both. I'll report back on status :up:
Wow now that's a good deal! Unfortunately I'm in the middle of another build (again) so I can't afford one to replace my green PCB with dodgy RAM slots :/
How many amps does it eat?
All of them. There were no survivors.

I dont follow.
My question was about how many amperes it eats from the wall
And my answer was it eats all of them. All the amps. Nothing left. The rest of the building is having a brown-out.
I tried to make a funny. I failed.
Oh I get it now. Sorry for not grasping it
On the other hand, I am :rofl:
I can't remember but I think like 400w, but I'll throw a kill-a-watt on there when I get one up and running :up:
Lol. I wouldn't use one of these for an HTPC, that's for sure :PQuote:

The thing is; these boards pull entirely from the 12v rail- which at 400W on the DC side means 33A- which is more like the 12v output of a good 500-600W PSU. The high-spec would demand 60A+; typical for PSU in 750-1000W range. Don't skimp on power! Get a PSU of good repute (read reviews) and not one with any of that multiple 12v rail nonsense!
:woot: got one of the Arima beasts up and running :up:
Second one wont POST. Not sure if the CPUs are fried or not :shakes:
Anyone running the SE chips in these boards? I'm in the market for a new set of CPUs and am looking to max it out with the Opteron 8360's. They work in these guys, right?
According to my research, someone ran 8358 SE's with no issues (I even put a note in the manual for it :P)
New PSU came today :) (the one used previously is powering a 5830). Tried to power it up again after all this time, but no dice. Gonna order another once i get back from work
Does anyone have some CPUs that I can borrow to see if the board is good?
So, I'm bailing in the Quad-Quad. I'm going to be moving in a few months and I need to trim the collection down. If anyone's interested, I've got a blue Arima board (from the same reseller that has them on Ebay currently), 4x Opteron 8350HE, 16GB PC-5300 (8x2GB) and four Coolermaster 101's with custom-machined mounts. I'll take $180 + actual shipping from 77004 for the lot. A bit of a loss on my part but this seems fair given current Ebay prices. It all works but I never finished setting it up. PM me if you're interested!
