After I'd picked myself up off the floor, changed my pants, cleaned the drool off the keyboard and wiped the spittle off of the monitor I started to think on what I'd need to get it built.
I have the cpu's,coolers and EVGA 2-260GTX video cards and I'm hoping I can get it to fit in one of my big SM cube cases.
Then I realised that this needs one big mutha of a PSU and to put my piddly 6x1 gig of Kingston DDR3-1333 ECC REG in there just wouldn't be right and not sure if those would even work. Then add that I just had one of those die on me and in RMA and not here till next Friday.
Add in to all of this that on Thursday New Hampshire got hit with the worst storm I'd ever seen, 14" of rain in 12 hours, 70-80MPH winds, and electrical power out to 300,000 in the state.
I do have a small 5500w generator so I was covered .
I made some calls to try and get some help with the memory and PSU issues but that was late Friday and at the end of the workday.
So bear with me ok and remember, I'm just a guy with limited resources like most of you but this will come together.
That I promise you.:up:
I'd also like to thank all of you for the good thoughts and support.
That means a lot to me.
Ok, it's up and running!

Yea, but that screen is 16x16 or 256 threads or 128 cores with HT on.Quote:

I hope you tell us what 1.2kW PSU you end up getting.
:rofl:
I was so excited... then i saw the second line of threads. :hm:

Just after I go off Skiing for the weekend, you sneak up on us with this baby :eek:
It really is 'Teh Sex' as someone else said so fittingly.. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those beastly motherboards :cool:
Oh and, no, you DON'T need a 1,x KW PSU :p:
With those two 260's something in the 800W range is more than enough. I'd get a Corsair HX850 if I were you...
Me, I'm gonna run it on a 430 or 500W Seasonic with lots of adapters, as always :rofl: :ROTF: :sofa:
You've all seen me comment before on PSU's.Quote:

I'm not saying all the others are junk as surely there are some good ones out there that I'm not familar with but these two brands I know to be good ones.
I have both here in my systems and neither has ever failed me.
Then think of my situation.
You've got an essentially irreplaceable board, a pair of chips worth over $3000.00, couple nice vid cards, 4 SAS drives and you want to trust it all to a PSU you have faith in.
Damn right you need more memory! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:Quote:

That's quite a modest intention! :rofl:Quote:
