Several questions regarding the Intel board: What software are you guys using to read cpu temps? Has anyone been able to overclock these with success (bsel mod maybe)? About the pciex8 slot, what techniques have you guys used to mod the slot so a 16x card will slide in there?
Thanks for any suggestions.
1) Realtemp works fineQuote:

3 Electrical tape on the board behind the PCI-E X8 slot to protect the board
Hot exacto knife to cut out the backside of the PCI-E slot
Sparky is the king on that point..:D
Hot exacto knife huh? Like heat it up with a torch and slice a little, heat a little, slice a little, etc.?
I'll have to try it. I'm having video driver problems. I downloaded the driver from ATI and installed it and now it's worse. It's doing some weird sort of freeze if I change video settings. Reset or power off is the only thing that clears it, time does not.
Yes on the exacto and you got PM in a secondQuote:

Put some tape on the PCIe connector that hangs out of the slot because it risks touching the southbridge heatsink. Don't want to short anything.
+1 for hot stanley knife.. also, which ATi drivers you want? for the onboard? if so, pm me, I have ATi ES1000 drivers, & tho they are 'only' made for XP/WS03, I know they work for Vista/WS08 & W7-32 :) :up:
Is a Sossaman rig limited to SLAC9 CPUs only? They appear to be going for a few bucks on Ebay. What's the big attraction with these systems?
don't know any SLAC9 CPUs.. its server goodness with CPUs that are essentially laptop CPUs, read = very low power consumption. Only downside is 32-bit onlyQuote:

Then there's the QHJQ (engineering sample, good luck finding these), the SL8WT and the SL9HN, all 2.0GHz http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/I...20002M%29.html
Finally there are the 1.667GHz chips, the QKIM, SL98Q, SL9HP and SL9HS http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/I...16672M%29.html and http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/I...39JF0282M.html
All chips are 31watt TFP, socket 478 and 32bit. There was going to be a 64bit upgrade but it never seems to have gotten past pre-production. In other words there's a few, very few, that exist but nobody has been able to lay eyes on one.
I installed the "latest" RAGE XL driver from AMD for the onboard RAGE XL video chip. Every time I try to apply a resolution change, the thing freezes (I think just the video freezes but, not entirely certain). This happens before I even hit apply....so it never gets the chance to timeout and revert back to previous settings. I have to reset or cycle power to get it back.Quote:

yes sossaman will easily run windows 7 32-bit! :up:Quote:

are you referring to the onboard video of the intel mobo? if so, can't remember - if your using discrete gpu, thats easy. As for lan, seeing as it's intel, its either available to download from intel website or its already included in win7 :)Quote:

As far as i know, no need drivers, Window 7 automatically installs it for you.
I think this guy needs a "call" from me huh? :DQuote:

And I think I smell some melting plastic in my future. I have a dead P35 board that I could practice on first.:D
Edit: The non-Intel NIC is Marvell Yukon, not Realtek.
32 bit 7 should be fine, I had server 2008 on my one Sossaman a while back.
anyone want a full sammy rig for 50$, i gotta pay dave back lol..
