Building a Sossaman rig?

[64dragon]

This. Here. NOW!!

http://www.itxchange.com/itxchange/p..._no=39Y6598-02

329 in stock

thats $60 per chip tho

[WesM63]

400MHz only




Hmmm howcomes Wes has 667 running there?

Good question, Sammy does throw a fit every time it boots, but works fine.

[Martijn]

What about those boards? Is the clock generator supported?

[jcool]

Back from work..

Sorry guys, I gave them my cellphone number and they promised to get back to me with pricing and availability information, but it seems they had something better to do.
If the price s0lid got is from the same site, we can forget it anyways. They probably won't let them go below 100€ or so. Dang...

So it's 60 USD for the CPUs each.. I think I'm gonna pass :/
I got X5450 incoming, they'll do around 36-38k/d which equals around 4-5 Sammy's (which I wanted), but the Harpers use less power (300 vs. 500W guesstimation). Plus I need to raise 300€ w/o taxes for a 2nd Z7S... yes, they have actually gotten more expensive, argh! My 1st one cost me like 278€ net.

[NaeKuh]

Man.

Are you kidding me?

Sammy's are hot, rare, and you need one just for the hell of it.

Shiet even i got one.

[jcool]

One? Bah.. I wanted 5 in a server rack
But that won't work with the CPUs at 60$ each :/

One just isn't Xtreme enough for me

Plus it's not worth the shipping hassle...

[just a noob]

how exactly does the pinmod work, i've never done it before, i really don't get how it works, oh, and on topic, my board should be here friday

For the Sossaman, which goes into PGA sockets, you simply wire those two pins or use a conductive tape. In the end, you simply need to connect those two pins.

For recent Intel CPUs, which goes into LGA sockets, you use conductive ink to connect two points.

[s0lid]

I ordered a pair too only 30€
Before they're sold out...

Well jaco u interested to order that mobo and coolers set via movieman and split up shpping costs from US to europe?

[NaeKuh]

ROFL last time u gambled on that, you lost your chance at probably one of the best quadcores of all time.

However i have to agree with you on that comment this time arround.

[Bootup05]

you guys talking about the mobo shipping?

If you look at my thread on shipping you'll see how fast it was. US to EU UK. No problems

[s0lid]

Ye, it usually takes about 5days to get stuff from Usa to Finland.

But how many on this forum is gonna take mobos and how many hs gonna take those coolers?

[Jaco]

s0lid,
Let's wait until jcool gets an answer from that German shop.

[Bootup05]

im interested in sharing shipping expenses for the heatsinks

Which wouldn't go past 4Ghz anyways on my DFI cause it does for the hell of it not want to go above FSB 460 with a Quad - no thank you

Jaco, I don't think they're gonna respond or they would have done so yesterday
Plus if they tell s0lid the CPUs cost like 170€ they won't give it to me for 10...

[Jaco]

What about the shop in the first link ?
Sold out at the moment, I guess , but maybe they can get more cpu's ?

So the 40€/slice is cheapest price for those sossamans atm... Even tho they have 300 of em D

Jcool u should ask better price from that place if might take over 20pcs of em.

No, they probably won't. They said they'd call me if they got any more, but they aren't planning on stocking up. That was just a small leftover position I'm afraid...

[Martijn]

So, for what I know, we need this so far:

Jaco: motherboard
S0lid: motherboard
Bootup: 2 sinks
Me: motherboard + 2 sinks

[s0lid]

I think than the list looks like this :P

Jaco: motherboard + 2 sinks + Backplates
S0lid: motherboard + 2 sinks + Backplates
Bootup: 2 sinks
Martjn: motherboard + 2 sinks

Make that 2 Backplates for me as well. I suppose they aren't sold with the board then?

Well nope.

Ask from Dave an good offer for mobos, sinks and so on =)

I go to bed, good night all...

Do we know if Dave is willing to ship all of this crap to Europe?

Also, I think it would be best if we would all pay him the amount we owe him + 1/4 of the shipping costs instead of all at once, since we all need different parts. That makes it a little more easier I think. Shipping the rest within Europe could be arranged later. We will need a quote on the individual parts, the shipment within the US and the shipping to the EU so that we know how much to pay.

I already sent Movieman PM about this.

Uhm 3 guys taking the same package and one takes only heatsinks, yeaaa different parts =P

BTW the mobo + heatsinks + backplate package costs around $45 => 32€ w/o shippings

Not bad tho...

[Bootup05]

Im not sure if I'd need any backplates or not.

The board has backplates on already, well what look like backplates anyway, metal plates behind the cpu socket area, these are detachable.

Dave should be able to tell us what it is these are.
