I think it should work, but i don't have a xeon set up yet. Did u really win that CPU for $4? Thats AMAZING if you did.

It's just the IWT that's in that auction.Quote:

I was thinking about getting a set of them off another guy, but I don't really need 5 of them, as this is going to be my only Xeon system.
wow, thats an amazing price! :toast:
Yea, I was quite happy with it. He shipped them out via Fedex Ground, so you can't beat it.Quote:

Ouch. From what I'm seeing that has 12V@22A, same as mine.Quote:

I've been using that Enermax EG465P-VE 460W Power Supply for 8 months now in the first PC-DL machine I built July/2004. That machine is running 2.66 MO Prestonia CPUs @ 3.4Ghz and it's been running 4 instances of F@H 24/7 since. I just purchased 5 more of them to build additional PC-DL and NCCH-DL machines. They seem to work fine for me, but my machines are for my Folding farm and don't have any additional power hungry hardware. They're going for $88 now.Quote:

I love my OCZ520w it dos'nt even get warm :rocker: .
And wat about the cases,can i take a normal midi-case,or is a mini atx case also ok,looking at cooling i think i will go wc,i have some good results with water and it's cool and quiet,so i am aim'n at 3.2ghz atleast;).
My dual Xeon rig ate my OCZ 420 Powerstream... so be carefull :DQuote:

ChelseaOilman: Are you coming to join our team? We sure could use another insane crazed cruncher!
What happened exactly Rod? I was thinking of replacing this +12V drooping Vantec 520W with the OCZ 420W, but maybe that's a bad idea :DQuote:

I've been doing F@H for 4 years now and I'm a mod over at the Folding-community.org forum so I don't see myself switching projects any time soon. I've considered changing teams though, but probably not before I reach 1,000,000 points on my present team.Quote:

what do you guys thing about these heat sinks... any good or not?

great read!!
no its not required, im running with a 20pin/4pin psu right now.Quote:

@Mrslinky....I have those and i have a single 92mm fan blowing on both and have 43c 39c 49c temps on 1.6lv's @ 3.2 ghz running 4 instances of d2ol...not in a case so your temps may vary...
Whit.. :)
What is "ate",is it like eating it up,so the xeon busted your OCZ420w :( right.Quote:

And what about the case,is it ok to put them in an micro-atx case(maybe heat problems),or better a midi-case(better airflow),i'am still looking for some 2hands maxi towers,the are the best one's in regard of airflow,but its so big hè :D .
Q,are there mobo's like the PC-DL with video onboard.
That is freaking nice and quit,no fan's at 3400mhz,whats the price on those coolermaster heatpipes,and woot the do the same,temp wise,as wc,or is wc just plain better,i like to play with water y'no:).Quote:

I can tell you since it died while I had it.
Basically it worked for 1 or 2 weeks absolutely fine while powering a combination of DD's and Rod's Xeon rigs. Once all the parts for everybody's systems got here I put the OCZ in Rod's nice aluminum case and adjusted the +12v to ~12.10v under full-load. Once I did that, it stopped working fine. :( The voltage unloaded during startup would be around 12.2v and then under load it'd got to 12.10v for only a minute or two before dropping slowly and steadily to ~11.01v. :( For some reason it just couldn't hold up under load any longer. :(
Don't know if it was/is just the +12v VR that took a poop or if something else happened. At any rate it was worthless now. :(
I have an OCZ 420w power supply here I'm using and it's working fine after a few months. BUT I don't think I touched the +12v VR. Didn't OCZ have problems with their VRs in their DDR Boosters? Maybe there was a bad batch everyone got and these are also bad? Don't know but it's put a souring taste in my mouth about recommending these now... which sucks because they are a great deal for these Xeon rigs. :(
This is just booting off a floppy with Memtest86 on it so I know I'll have to slow it down a little when I hook up the HD and install the OS, but it's pretty impressive what these 1.6 LV Xeons can do. I'm hoping for a stable 3.2Ghz under load.

Memtest ran through 10 passes without errors, but I rebooted the machine so the picture shows it just starting. This is with a single Crucial DDR400 512MB stick and no VDIMM mod. I did use conductive paint between the 2 pads as mentioned earlier to get a 0.08 VDIMM increase.

Should I align the 4-pin in the center of that AUX connector?Quote:
