Well might as well get one started. UPS just delivered mine and will start taking some photos to post. Sorry in advance no great photography equipment here.

That board looks like it would be very fun to play with! and very expensive! lol

[DomagojX]

nice

[Utnorris]

It's a sweet board for sure. Wish the chips were not so expensive.

no kidding I have one X5660 that I got for a steal, but it brings me to tears having to pay any where near retail for these chips

[Major]

What case can hold that thing?

Lian Li PC-P80 or a couple Mountain Mod cases. I've been speaking with Andrea from Dimastech to have them create an Easy Case for it. I mess around swapping hardware too often to have anything in a permanent case anyways

[H2O]

I deeply envy you. :P

Let's see some LN2 numbers ASAP! What kind of other hardware are you looking to pair up with it?

LN2 will eventually happen after I team up with chew
dual X5670's
12GB Dom GT 2000mhz cas7

GPU's for testing:
GTX480
GTX295
9800GX2

Looking for a lot of hardware points

[Fitseries3]

board runs like a dream.

i've got mine running already...

Tell me about it, I recieved my two X5660 a few weeks ago and they were a pretty penny. I can tell you though from what I have read from a few places is that the westmeres are not in full production and won't be till June which is right around the corner. Hopefully they will drop down in price a bit after July.
I am still waiting to see how they perform. From the various posts I have seen, even the E series are running dam good.

I have a B0 revision and it is the coolest running chip I have, its unreal. I am hoping my buddy can grab me another ES for the less than half of retail

I would be all over an SR2 for a F@H rig if I didn't have to spent north of $2k to get semi decent chips.

[Fitseries3]

i got F@H running on my rig today.

seems to avg. ~37k ppd consistently on my x5677 quads

Thats quite a bit isn't it? If I recall running F@H years ago a i7 @ 4ghz would pull 6k ppd?

[AceNZ]

What are some good options for air-cooled heatsinks for a vertically-mounted SR-2, that don't block any of the RAM slots? Movieman is using TRUEs in his horizontal mount, but from the image of the board in the OP of this thread, it looks like it would be a tight fit.

Also, what about 4GB ECC RAM modules? I've been looking at the 1333 CL9 Elpida D dual-ranked modules from Kingston.

[Utnorris]

By the way, you can now pre-order the board and it should ship next week.

Fitseries - can you run x64 pcmark vantage suite test - would love to see if pcmv reacts correctly to the SR-2.

You should be running VMWare & bigadv until it gets released for Windows. Even my i7 920 can do 33,000 PPD.

Bigadv WUs!

Single X5677 in my sig pulls close to that when OCed and run 24/7

[AceNZ]

Any thoughts on what the after-OC performance difference is likely to be between the X5650 and the X5660? The latter has an odd multiplier, which I've heard is easier to OC -- but the price is also $200 higher.

[Sam_oslo]

^^^ Yeah odd multi seams to need less vCore on X56xx too, but if SR-2 can hit high BCLK then X5650 may do the same 24/7 OC as those other with higher multi.

My X5650 is doing great @4.18GHZ(220x19) 1.31v, with Uncore=x15 , VVT=1.32v on GA UD7 (after the latest GA BIOSes have unlocked the Uncore). I haven't tested the stability throughly for x20 and x22 (which are the only other options), but these seams to need 3-4 notches more vCore for the same OC. So x23 multi (or even better, x21 without turbo) could be very useful, specially if SR-2 can't handle high BCLKs. It is interesting to see, and all depends on what kind of BCLK SR-2 can handle for 24/7.


@=[PULSAR]= , haven't you get it up yet?

[snoro]

Pulsar, when you have time could you do a max bclk test ?

[=[PULSAR]=]

@=[PULSAR]= , haven't you get it up yet?

Dave has my cpu's that I let him borrow for supercomputer week, and I'm waiting for Dimastech to release custom made benchtable for me to assemble it on.

[Linuxfan]

Hope to see some results from you when the CPUs come back.
