:DMartijn you got any pics of your new sammy :up:
Also what's it housed in?
I'm eager to get mine running now :P
Ordered my ram, picking up a PSU tonight, Just got to pick up the cpu's and I can get mine on the grid! :yepp:

Yes, that's indeed only 91W. The 80GB Seagate that's in there will be replaced with a more silent 2.5" lappy HD as well, so that will lower the power consumption with another ~5W or so. Still, running this system for only 4.5 €-cents an hour is pretty good stuff :up:
I like the extra SATA ports your board has compared to my X6. However the lack of expansion slots can be nasty. I'll probably end up buying some SATA RAID controller as I want mine to replace my current NAS
What are you gonna use it for besides toy?
Martijn that pretty small package over there :)
Oh yes 95W quad isn't bad at all :up:
Martijn,
91w ? excellent :D
What PSU do you have (how efficient?)
How many fans are connected?
Just one stick of RAM?
Thanks !
I am running some OEM ultra silent PSU, it's specced up to 300W. I have no idea how efficient it is, but I bet you'll get better results with a new PSU. I am indeed running one stick of RAM and the only fan connected right now is the 700RPM 120mm you can see in the pictures.
I am getting 34C load temps with the panel off and 50C load temps with the side panel closed. I might be getting another 120mm to act as an exhaust, but the PSU fan really is enough right now. If it weren't for the stupid HD, the system would already be dead silent.
EDIT: the PSU is an Enlight GPS300AB 100-U.
This will replace the old P4 2.26 as a seedbox and game/fileserver.Quote:

What OS are you running on it ?
Vista Ultimate as we speak, but the GPU isn't all that ready for running all the Vista crap, even when using the classic interface. When doing nothing but displaying task manager or basically any program the CPUs are working at 10%. I am going to throw on S2003 on it by the end of next week.Quote:

Already mounted the CPUs, heatsinks and mobo in the case (omg that thing is big.. but very flat. I truly like it :D ).
Now this mobo has like a 1000 connectors, most of which aren't labeled :p:
Anyone got a manual for this puppy? Cause I'm pretty lost here. The fact that this Silverstone TJ05 case has a million connectors and cables normal cases don't have doesn't help either :ROTF:
Got it, thanks.
Finished the build and it's alive :banana:
Never seen such a slow post in my whole life though. I was already like wtf it's dead, then it posts. That thing needs longer from post to bios than all my other rigs put together...
Yap, one more Sausageman online :D
Whoever said those don't need fans tho... I am running passive right now, temp probe I stuck to the hsf of cpu #1 already shows 60C after 5 minutes of bios :p:
82W from the wall @ bios, using some CHieftec 500W PSU though that is a) totally overrated and b) probably got crappy efficiency
my sammy board is probably dead, my mom decided to move the board for no apparent reason :shrug:
Damn lol. So how did that happen?
BTT, little Sammy is installing Win now.. had some trouble fighting with jumpers & cables as this mobo only has 1 IDE port, but I have an IDE DVD + IDE HDD on that one... IDE needs to die, seriously. It's just that I got lots of old IDE drives that are perfect for crunchers.
I like having IDE connectors on boards coz it lets me keep using still functional drives (plus I only own one SATA drive)
lol i cant even power the board up to test yet, need a psu for that to happen, maybe ill just sell cpu's+backplate+hs and buy a cheap setup lol
*dejected sigh*
RMA / customer support service in Australia is... painful at best, when u do get it :(
is anyone with a sossy rig, that resides in the USA, willing to help me out?
My proposal:
I send you my -quite likely- bad stick of DDR2-400 ECC+REG, you plug it into ur sossy mobo, confirm/dismiss whether it is truly DOA & then possibly RMA to Kingston
I have no other way to test it. :(
& RMA is *that* painful here..
:worship:
The sad thing is you aren't exaggerating at all. I've had a mobo away for warranty for 3-5 months, and I've been waiting on an HDD for something like 2-3 months.Quote:

Basically he's controlling his BIOS functions with another computer connected to the internet :up:
Via something called "ipmi" ya.. I got that much, nothing more though :D
I'll take a guess at it being an expansion card that goes in that little slot on the board that looks like one for a SODIMM, but ain't.

welcome back Captain Sir! :wave:
anybody reccomend a cheap 2u case+psu, and by cheap i mean under 100 dollars for both
I did mine in a Lian Li PC62.. Nice EATX mid tower and that can be had for $100.00 but no PSU included.Quote:

Why do they need the extra power from a 24-pin and 8-pin? I mean they're only pulling what, ~100 watts from the wall, so are they really needing an 8-pin EPS? 24-pin ATX doesn't matter, since even cheap PSUs come with 'em standard, but most PSUs don't start using 8-pin EPS cables until about the 450-500 watt range, which isn't really that efficient for the PSU (PSUs tend to hit their max efficiency around the 50-75% load range).
Eller
can't answer that.. It just is..Quote:

Dave, I'm using 20 pin ATX and I am quite sure a 4pin connector will work just as well as an 8-pin version, although I haven't tried that. The system needs to be able to draw power from every connection, but it can't tell the difference between 20-24 and 4-8 pins attached AFAIK.
Ok, I defer to your knowledge..Quote:

I'm more interested in 4-pin vs 8-pin, rather than 20-pin vs 24-pin ;) I could always get a Corsair VX450 (has 8-pin EPS and 24-pin ATX), but that's AU$100-120 as opposed to AU$50-55 for an Antec Basiq 350 watt (which has 24-pin, but only 4-pin ATX, not an 8-pin EPS).
Eller
I rest my case!:DQuote:

I will be using that for my E5420's... should be cheaper than the VX, which is a great PSU as well.
Gonna try to run Sammy with a 4pin 12V soon, 120W PicoPSU FTW :D
They look a LOT like the corsair VX450's. But about AU$5 cheaper at ~AU$115 a pop. If they're doing >85% efficiency, it might actually be worth the extra money over an AU$55-75 PSU in the long term, assuming the cheaper ones average about 70-75% efficient, at least for something with a higher load like a clocked Q6600, not to mention it'd be a lot cooler...Quote:

Wow, that pricing sucks. I can get that PSU for 45€ (excl. taxes) around here... The VX also has excellent efficiency, even 1-2% higher than the Seasonic I think. They might be of similar build, Corsair uses either Seasonic (HX) or Channelwell (TX) as their basis, dunno bout the VX..
Yep, Australia, where we get ass-raped on a regular basis by hardware prices. Even with the way the Aussie dollar is doing, it's still a little bit cheaper to buy stuff from the US and get it shipped over. If only NewEgg shipped to down under... They'd probably put all the local e-tailers out of business :p:
And JohnnyGURU has a review of the VX450's, and they're fairly sure that SeaSonic is the OEM for it. It's got a lot of similarities to the S12-II 430 watt, and the VX450 averages about 83% efficient through most of it's load range.
Eller
ok, so who is going to find out if the 200FSB mod will work?
We get these things up to 2400/2mb/800 from 2000/2mb/667 and there will be major increases in daily production..
I'd go one of these mate:Quote:

I did a wee lil research on the 550W model - its an Andyson OEM unit, apparently not too shabby! :up:
http://www.edmw.sg/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=51977&p=1847370
VX450 = Seasonic
VX550 = CWT
HX520 = Seasonic
HX620 = Seasonic
TX650 = Seasonic
TX750 = CWT
HX1000 = CWT
For your rigs--I think a Seasonic SS-400ES or SS-500ES would be a nice starting point. Basic PSUs, 80mm fans, good build quality, though their biggest issue is they have only 2 SATA connectors--on the same cord. So basically for mATX chassis or using molex-to-SATA adapters. The 400ES goes for $50.
Aw right Bob, that's about how I remembered it. By now there are so many great PSUs on the market, I don't buy Corsair any more, too expensive xD
I can recommend the 500 and 650W TT Toughpower Qfans by the way, those are CW PSUs, modular cabling, perfect voltage stability and rather affordable.
Guys, I don't know if you knew about this website already, but there are VERY good PSU reviews out here.
Only downside about Jonny's is that he only has one or two reviews on decent <450watt PSUs, which is ideally what you're wanting on a Sammy. Aside from that, yeah, JonnyGURU is basically one of the best PSU review sites out there.
Eller
Best is still SPCR IMO.
I got a lesson on Corsair's offerings by Yellowbeard. Anyways, I am very partial to Seasonic-built units. CWT is good too, of course. :up:Quote:

Just as an example the new CX400 series is basically the same thing as the Seasonic SS-400ET but with more SATA connectors. The 400ET has 4 on two cords--which is plenty for most computers. Both the CX400 and 400ET are Seasonic-built (iirc initial reviews) and they're priced $65 and $53, respectively.
I finally got my CPU's, 2.0's. Got a nice endless beep and DS1 lights up, apparently this means CPU power bad or 8pin thing not connected. Swapped the cheap PSU with an EPS one, same problem. Besides, 4 pin should work fine as well. I guess I'll cry for a moment and find out the problem. Currently it's just the board with two memory modules and two CPU's, single CPU doesn't work either. Taking out the memory changes nothing.
Done crying now, after a thorough inspection of the board I noticed that near the side of the board on the back there are four sets of three resistors most likely part of the VRM One of these sets lacks a resistor numbered R683.
Does someone happen to have a X6DLP that isn't built into some case and could this individual verify that this resistor should be there?
Nm, it's the resistor. I figured why wait, took the resistor from CPU2's VRM and moved it to CPU1, board powers up and posts. Yay for me. Just need a new resitor for CPU2.
R683 ... a 683 ohm resistor? Pay careful attention to any/all other markings and you should be able to get a replacement at the local electronics/hobby store.
So no one's had luck yet with a mod to 200? :stick:......:wasntme:
... but it's running so sweet at 2000Mhz . can't turn it off :up:Quote:

Problem is, this is the mobile socket, no clue if it's actually the same.
It should have some markings on in, usually coloured bands (if it's big enough) and the colour of the item itself also makes a difference. Can you read them off/post a clear pic?
-removed to prevent confusion-
Page 48 (yes again 48) shows other pins, both bsel and bclk, so they're not the same. Page 25 has the bsel settings. So, which is correct?
I think bsel0 + uwire = 200, No clue if the data is correct. Too lazy to verify, looking for wire instead.
http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/datashts/311391.htm
I played by using these pins. No POST whatsoever. Also tried 133Mhz and BSEL2, the theory was that that doesn't change a thing and should work either way. I'm doing something wrong :)
I did, there are two pins missing in the corner, so orientation is rather easy. I've been insulating pins, which does give me a post, but no change. So either the insulation isn't working or the board simply won't run on a different FSB, which would be odd.Quote:

On a sidenote :)
Tho I realized afterwords that I accidentally had the shipping address set as my parent's house instead of here at college, but luckily it's Thanksgiving coming up this week, so I'm hoping it doesn't take too long getting across the border.

Nice gear. All of it. Better question: is there even clearance behind the PCI-Express slot as to accommodate a full x16 length card on the Intel boards?
Gongo that looks so nice :slobber:
Nice job. How're those 40mm fans compared to the stock one(at low speed of course) that comes with the case? I might have to pick up some of them if they're better in terms of noise, although in my situation I don't have a video card to worry about, so I could get by with only a couple for the cpus.

I took Sammy down today, after having done a solid 50 days of uptime. I added another 120mm fan to the rear of my case, cleaned out the dust and started her back up again...
5 hours later (a few minutes ago) when closing the case I noticed I hadn't plugged the CPU fan back in :rolleyes:
It turned out the CPUs had been running at 100C for a few hours... Damn :eek:
Anyways, the system was throttling like crazy trying to keep the temp down. With the CPU fan back in action and with the additional rear fan I'm now getting 40C load temps again while still having a fully silent system. Gotta love 5400RPM notebook SATA drives :D
