Pics of your FARM!

VERY good point! I get machines in for work and sometimes there here for a couple days.they work when they are here. Your basic cheapo P4-2660 will crank 1500 in a day..
Your building a few machines, take 5 mins and toss WCG on as you build, get a few days out of them, then remove before sending out..
It all adds up.

one major problem. INternet access which would be needed to send out results is SERIOUSLY locked down if accessible at all. There are at least 3-4 different layers of security and rights that I don't have access to.

I am just a peon on this project.

After returning the Biostar TForce Conroe board, I picked up another Gigabyte GA-965P-S3.

I finally got it put together. Lapped the TT BT and the IHS on the E6400. Haven't pushed it at all yet, just haven't had the time. It is running at 2900-something, with plenty of headroom, I'm sureI have a non-stock fan on the BT and the rig has 2 gigs of Buffalo Firestix PC2-6400.

.

More work to go, a few rigs are not running. Changing things around, but I'm getting there.

Clover..clover..get to work!

Was the TForce a bad clocker serlv? I was considering buying a cheap TForce and throwing it under cascade for some E6400 superclockig goodness. Wish I had a board capable of stressing my chip

Well, I lapped the IHS's and cleaned the heatsinks. Those Swiftechs have such a fine finish it looked good as new.

Opened the shipping package for the mobo and pulled the box out. Didn't bother looking at the mobo, I knew I wouldn't get to putting things together tonight.

I need to do the mods. Rob you have any tips on the technique you used to do that., I know the contact I need to cover. It is just so damned small, how do you cut a piece that small and actually place it?

Yeah, I couldn't do much with it, very frustrating. I returned it for a refund.
Others have done very well it though... Actually mixed. Some have, others have had problems.

I figured life was too short...

I just have to do this and then to bed:
Scott: after what you were doing this weekend, I figured you'd be fine working with "tiny" items!
use xacto knife with new blade and magnifying glass.
Sorry pal, it's late and on those mods, read your email I just sent you.

i have a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 with an E6300 and a Crucial Ballistix BL2KIT6464AA663 kit setup.

it runs 3.3ghz on all stock volts. you should definitely be able to push that to 3.5ghz as long as the cpu is a decent batch and your RAM will go that far.

Here's my dedicated WCG cruncher. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but still pretty decent

AMD64 Venice @ 2.69GHz - cooled by scythe katana with YS-Tech 92mm quiet fan (original is too loud)
2x256MB BH-5 2-2-2-5 1T @ 225MHz, 3.3Vrail mod
Biostar TForce-6100 M9 ghetto moded mobo

[[XC] mysticmerlin]

That is some awesome cable management going on there. that case looks empty. Crunch On

Well, It's hardly a "Farm", although I may be getting a stack of 3 Pentium 2/3 PCs from where my Mum works.

In the Pic is my Dell I6000 Dothan 750 with 1GB DDR2, and my Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle. Theres also an Apple iBook G3 800MHz that is on loan!

[[XC]melymel]

Haha that case is a beast ruan! but what happened to running it caseless?

[[XC] ruane]

Heh, yeah, I would run it caseless, although when I go to LAN Parties, caseless is not always the best . This case is great for LANs becuase it has wheels, its a 1995 Vintage, used to house a Dual Pentium Pro 200MHz. Also the parents were scared of going in my room when it was caseless, in case they either touched something, or got eaten by the Delta, so therefore it never got cleaned, so it had to go back!

Guys tell me honestly, how much do you pay for electricity, when you have 1**GHz of power?

[[XC] hipno650]

hey NoRogeR haven't seen you here before and don't see you on the team (are you using another name) welcome to the team man!!

[[XC] serlv]

Guys tell me honestly, how much do you pay for electricity, when you have 1**GHz of power?

Well, I don't think I have 1xx GHz of crunching power, but I know for sure I pay way too much for power!

[-Acid-]

try living in N.ireland every thing costs loads more than it should

[sierra_bound]

Guys tell me honestly, how much do you pay for electricity, when you have 1**GHz of power?

I don't have 1**GHz of power, but I just got my latest utility bill. It's high, but not outrageously high. I had bigger bills this past summer when electricity rates were higher. But I feel fortunate. A few people I know had summer electricity bills that were $500-1000. Mine were nowhere close to that. But it's hard crunching by candlelight.

[noroger]

sierra_bound, nice picture

hipno6500, I'm watching you guys all silently, thanks for the warm welcome

Just added some coolers (had a overheating problem), new thermal grease and +300MHz power!

Why can't you see me? I don't have a lot of points, but still.
