Well I might try one on a stock twin amd and see what its like.
That sounds good, Plum! People here have been wondering how a dual Opteron would work. Wondering how many candidates it would put out compared to a dual Xeon. Let us know ( if and ) when you do. It would be good to know this info.
Cheers,

FaD Gorilla huh? ;) (nice avatar)
hey jeff how hot should i let these xeons get at load? right now im folding away n i leveled out at 49c and 51c on the cpus i would think thats fine but this is my first intel sys n my iwt hsf are not exactly installed they way they're ment to since they dont fit with the fan blowing from the side i have the fans blowing down from the top. so far going very nicely by the way :D running 200 x 15, the twinmos mem is at 2 2 2 5 @ 3.2v hehe i like this mem already. thanks for all the help :toast:
I think all my Xeons are running 55c-60c full-load. ;) Anything more than that and stability seems to go down.
15x200 is such a nice round number isn't it? :lol: :up:
sweet im in the clear, i may have to push these puppies a little further...Quote:

its the only place that i have seen them, but i havent looked that hard lol
Go to pricewatch.com > type "Asus PC-DL" ( w/o the quotes ) into the search area, hit enter. check out the entries. I used ewiz.com for my board ( not a PC-DL, but a similar Asus ). their are other places listed also, you may have to scroll down some. Any of these places should be checked on by going to resellerratings.com and seeing if they are listed favorably.Quote:

PSU's? Ya want roughly 450W or better, strong 12V rail ( about 28A or better ), preferably a 24 pin connector.
I use a Sparkle FSP550-60PLG . It has the 24 pin and 8 pin connector w 36A on 12V rail
PSU's >>> Fortron/Sparkle makes solid, No B.S. PSUs. They aren't fancy, but good value for the $. See also Enermax, PCP&C, OCZ, Zippy/Emacs, Seasonic. Do a search on the forums, there are tons of PSU threads.
Hope this helps.
Scott
thanks serlv. Do I have to have the 8pin mobo connector or not. Where did u get that PSU. It sounds good for what I need.
YW :)
Don't know whether you need the 8 pin connector, but with that Sparkle 550, you'll have it.
I did the homework, and depending how you enter the search terms, for that PSU, into the pricewatch.com search entry line, you will get a link to ewiz.com. I paid $88 w free shipping, which is by far the cheapest on the 'net. If you were to go straight to ewiz and look it up it will cost ya $87.95 plus $9 or $10. So, you must enter through pricewatch. Everywhere else, I looked, was at least $93 or $94, plus shipping.
$88 is a great price for this very stout PSU. This PSU is almost exactly what the doctor ordered, for our purposes here. Certinly you can find others, but, for me, it fits the bill.

I do have a question . How does this do on a red hat linux setup? What I mean is, in the tweak section I didn't see any thing on what OS's runs best or if it run better on amd or intel.Nor did I see anything on how the system's setup makes a difference
There are little to no Linux boxes here on the team so I can't answer the Linux question... That and I know nothing about Linux :(
As for Intel or AMD... D2OL seems to like the high end AMDs... as for A-XP or P4 w/HT the P4 owns.
Setup... D2OL salivates over tight timings! If you can't manage tight timings then high memory bandwidth / High FSB seems to do just as well if not better. (High FSB on Intel and Tight timings on AMD)
Thanks,I may have to setup one to find out on the linux.
yes they will, along with a few other machines (1700+@ 2GHZ, 1GHz T-Bird@1.7GHz.) All those will be folding along with 2 2x1.6's. I may have one of the machines host files as well, dunno yet. Looking forward to finishing the circutry upgrade of my basement so I can get these going.Quote:

If you need any help, I'd be glad to help. Someone's got to expand the minds around here...Quote:

On the PC-DL you'll get ~1.55v when you do the 1.6v u-wire mod. And in the BIOS there is only one Vcore reading but you also have a small LED located between the S-ATA connectors and the BIOS chip that will light up if there is a voltage difference between the two Xeons. So if you have ~1.55v in the BIOS and that LED is NOT lit, then you are fine.
NOTE: I'm NOT talking about the large LED next to the 80pin hard drive connector. That's just a power LED. ;)
i dono if u noticed jeff but on the new revision of the board that led is missing, its in the manual but not on my board, just thought id point it outQuote:

It's there on the three new boards I just received. :confused: It basically looks like a surface mount capacitor... not a typical LED like you're used to. Very bright when it's lit btw.Quote:
