What projects do you have selected? If you've restricted yourself to an intermittent project you'll have a lot of trouble getting work.

That message is "Normal". I get that every time I set up a new rig.. "It appears the selected project has no work for your type of computer" or something.
Just ignore that, it works fine anyway.

Old tech. ASUS P5B Deluxe & Intel quad core. Almost three and a half years of non-stop crunching. Only thing that's been replaced is the RAM. Buffalo Firestix (seen in pic) finally gave out recently. PSU is a Zippy 600W.

Board is mounted on a custom-made benching platform from Japan.

In the background is an old Vapochill phase change cooler that hasn't been used in a very long time.

More old tech. Abit IP-35 Pro with Q6600. Non-stop crunching for almost three and a half years. Video card is an ATI Rage I bought on Ebay for around $5. Still working.

Total dodge by Supermicro when I asked for specific advice. All the guy did was echo that my concern how power may be something to look at and complain that I had the nerve to run Kingston memory in the board even though it hadn't been tested by them. Nevermind that the IMC on these CPUs controls memory and that everything in this system worked great on the H8DAE-2.
