Good day, team!
I'm not happy with where my last build left me. The P5B Dlx just struggles with the Q6600 I dropped in there. I can't seem to get it much past 3150.
So I ordered an open-box MSI P35 Neo 2-FR, for $60 ( along with a Saitek Eclipse and a Xigmatex HDT-S1283 cooler ). I worked 2 days OT during the Memorial Day weekend so this is my hardware reward...
Once I get the quad ensconced in the MSI, I'm going to put my long idle E6600 in the P5B Dlx. So that will be another two cores going. Hopefully I can run both the E and the Q 6600's at or around 3600 MHz. I sold my other E6600, about a week ago, for $150, but I don't know whether that was the "good one" or not ( one was good for 3.6, the other struggled much over 3.3 ).
I've been trying to refrain from buying asus boards but it's tough because they're always first with new stuff. I really like the msi p35. I like the xigmatek hdt tower coolers too although I find the fans a bit weak. Hardware reward huh? Can I steal that? Could be useful for future justification :D
For once this isn't Asus' fault, quadcores are just realls limited by the P965 chipset. I couldn't get my Q6600 higher than ~FSB 380 on my AB9 QuadGT for stable operation.
I'd get an E8200 or E8400 for the P5B if I was you... these chips run like mad on P965-based mobos, there's virtually no FSB limit (550+ possible)
Keep up the great work team. Sorry for my absence on the forums. But you will always know, I am crunching all the time :up:.
Had to stock my quadcore... will be RMAing my motherboard and PSU.
Sorry to hear that fungry. Any idea on the turn around time?
Great work guys. :up:
...steal away!Quote:

So yeah, my reward, for working my two days off, was those three items.
Still leaves some extra $$ to refill the coffers, plus fixes my hardware jones.
I've never used any other coolers other than TRUE or TT 120's on C2D/C2Q's ( other than earlier on re-using a TT BT or two from my A64 days... ). So, I'm interested in the Xigmatek. I'd heard that, too, about their relatively weak fan; I have a brand new 110CFM Scythe waiting to replace it. I'm not even gonna bother with seeing how the stock one is. :D
It's not all bad. Just kinda loud when it ramps up.

blew a phase at work today, lost 6 crunchers, should be up again tomorrow

Not a bad day again...keep it up everyone :)

I really have no clue when. But I will be sending the two respective items to my contact who will send them for RMA. I should be able to get an instant motherboard replacement however, I may have to pitch in a bit of money for another model (x48) because the x38 is scarce.Quote:

As the fan speed increases, that is when the sound comes in. When I stop the fan, so does the static sound. My question is, is it worth the effort to send it in for RMA or should I just break the sticker, open the PSU chassis and replace the fan?
:shrug:
Edit// Keep up the work team.
I like the cooler but as you observed the fan's weak. A decent high cfm fan on there and it almost keeps up with the TRUE. I'm trying out a 1284 now too and that seems a good oc'd quad cooler as well.Quote:

If it was me I'd be very tempted to repair myself.Quote:

Hey, all the teams were off a bit today..:up:
A not bad day I suppose but we were really on a roll. That's the first <5mil day in a month. Crunch on :up:Quote:

I can't stand putting the extra heat of 2 or 3 more quads in the house.
Weather's supposed to get more comfortable in a week. :|
Understood, was 92 here today but lucky, new house siding and insulation is making a huge difference. Never went over 75 upstairs and down here is like the inside of your refrigerator..:up:Quote:

Wow. Definitely hit a low ><. Been awhile since i've seen <5mil.
Go Go Team. :D

Due to lack of funds for new hardware my home has become a haven of retired crunchers. Power here isn't too bad, so I run the best five I have on hand at any one time. By the time I retire them, they're older an' mummy-fart.Quote:

Topboy
Guidance? No problem :D
- set FSB to 400
- slightly increase vcore
- check cooling
Bang 3,6Ghz :D
That is, if you have DDR2-800 FBDimms...
Expect my output to be down noticeably for the next week or so. There is a major problem with the airconditioning in the 'war room' where most of my quads are located.

No DDR2 800 Dimms...I have DDR2 667 DimmsQuote:

Good work everyone!! This is a tough time of year on the equipment and the util bills are only going one direction :shock2: I've had 2 machines down since last week and rma's are so slow but I'm going to be back full strength asap and I'm working out a feasible schedule to add to my little garden periodically (controlled addiction?). Anyway great day XS Crunchers :D :up:
XtremeSystems 4,675,449 Slightly off day but keep crunching hard everyone :up: I take full responsibility for the drop :rofl::ROTF: not :D It's just one of them things, good work folks!!
This heat exhaustion deal has slowed my plans but by friday I'll have another 25K a day on and a week after that another 18K on top of that.
I'll be over the 75K a day I promised a while back, just 2 weeks behind schedule.
Take your time, Dave, the systems are going to be there waiting for you :p:Quote:

Oh, crap !
Well I just fired a semi-dormant quad back up, then !
It's gonna be warm in here today, but after all that talk of mine, I can't go down that easily !
32,5C max in my room today, says the probe. My rigs were holding though, mainrig was hitting 40C watertemp lol :rolleyes:
Thanks to the GPU FAH client now also running...
The airconditioning has been fixed and I've brought all but one of my quads back online. Will have to reinstall the OS for that last one tomorrow.

Thankfully they can survive ~5 days w/o connection. I think I'll have my best day soon, can you say 100k+ :D
Wow nice one jcool. :up:!!
Overclocked my CPU a bit. Will push it further sometime during the weekend. Crunching will initiate in a couple hours. XD
How I wish WCG had a GPU Client xD. Test this 4850 baby.

Just connected the Harpers cause they ran out ouf cache.. had to reroute everything because of that missing switch.
170 results done, not bad :D
