Probably yes, but do you want to listen to 4 of this 70mm fans screaming at full speed?
BTW get yourself 50 or 60mm fan for cooling chipset.

One thing to remember on the coolers is the distance between the CPUs. I went with standing coolers.
These are mine:

TX3 work also
Cruncher #1: EVGA Z68 FTW | i7-2600k @ 4.5 | 6GB Ram
Cruncher #2: Supermicro Dual-Socket | 2 x 6-core Opterons | 4GB Ram
Cruncher #3: 8-core Xserve 1,1
T400 for non-crunching

@retro77: do I see it correctly? You running your system with only 2 sticks memory per cpu (except cpu1)??? Mine do not boot with anything other than 0 or 4. Can you check your BIOS revision???
Never mind: I'm blind.

yes those heatsinks should work fine if your have the brackets for 939, and 80mm super low speed fan works fine for chipset
but they dont fit all pretty flowing in the same direction like that
looks like cpu 0 is 4 sticks cpu 1 is 2 sticks

yes i have brackets for sockets 940....
the hyper tx2 are £30 in the uk which is too much im trying to keep costs down
Sorry, the pic is kinda blurry. I couldn't get it to boot with anymore RAM than this
BTW: its working on its final 16 WU's. I'm shutting her down for the summer.
edit: surprised no one saw those custom heat sinks on there
WATERCOOL IT!!
That's what I did anyway...
The Cardboard Master Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
Intel Core i7 2600k @ 4.5GHz, 16GB DDR3-1600, Radeon 7950 @ 1000/1250, Win 10 Pro x64
looks at arima,edit: surprised no one saw those custom heat sinks on there
umm what are those chips? do they even get hot?
They're the Broadcom chips for SATA, nfi if they get hot though :P
Ya they get scorching.
watercooling is even more expensiveWATERCOOL IT!!
That's what I did anyway...
can anyone who bought this board from the UK tell me how long customs had the package and if you had to pay any import tax etc?
mine is sat a customs atm
EDIT: the parcel has cleared customs this morning

Bummer.........
just got a letter from parcel force with import vat at £13 and clearance fee of £8
the board was only £35!!
i finally got all the parts to set this up....
the psu ive got is a dual rail and i dont know what rail is what..
anyway i rigged it up to see if it you post and its fried one of the 4p to 8pin EPS adapters
this is the PSU ive got...

got a single rail PSU...
she boots... installed Ubuntu 10.10
i have 4 x 8354's running
the only problem im having is, i have 4 x 1gb of 667 ram in cpu0 and cpu1 slots
if i add any into cpu2 0r 3 slots it wont boot...
IIRC you gotta fill all of _0, then _1, then _2, then _3
maybe a partially dud board?
all of _0 and _1 are full.....
it wont boot with any in _2 or _3
will i gain any advantage if i swap the ram around and spread the 8 sticks and put 2 in each rather than fill _0 and _1?
also while folding its only using a total of around 3.3gb of ram so any more isnt worth it?
but i thought folding used lots for ram?
Make sure the OS is seeing all the installed RAM. If there's some kind of hardware or configuration problem it might not be recognizing some even though it's installed.

No, you can't spread 8 sticks. This board take only 0 or 4 sticks per CPU. Start testing. Remove 8 good sticks and replace them with 8 "bad" ones, if OK, swap CPU's (0&1) with (2&3).all of _0 and _1 are full.....

its showing 8gb in the OS so its ok?
i cant get into the bios.... can anyone upload a newer bios?
i will swap ram around....
the seller i bought the ram off has sent me some mixed ram so that maybe it
Is your CPU's mark as "OS8354WAL4BGH"? If so, you have B3 rev and you can't get in to BIOS 1.0.0 or lower. Can you take picture of your memory?
yes i did read a previous post regarding the bios issue with the b3 stepping...
ive been swapping the ram about and it will only boot with a matching 4 sticks per cpu... ATM i only have 2 x4 matching sticks of ram
even tho there 2 different makes of ram they still work fine with 4 matching for each cpu
so ive sent the seller a question asking why he has sent me mixed ram? ie. not 4 lots of 4 matching
also is it worth the extra ram when the system is only using 3.3gb out of 8gb?

Yes, with only 2 CPU's with memory you'll lose around ~20k PPD, and you'll be on edge with -bigbeta bonus point deadline. For F@H you need max out memory bandwidth.

yes your right...
my estimated PPD is around 55000ppd on wu 6903
4 8354 should get around 80000ppd so a 20k ppd loss looks correct!!
and the WU is due to finish only 12 hours before the deadline
im currently sourcing more ram on ebay
