Thanks mate,
I just got word that they were sent out today. Should be here within 12 hours
I just hope it fires up lol... mobo was bought as refurbished & working, CPUs used but working.. ram is new. Fingers crossed.
dude I know you are using LV cpus but is it safe to use the psu you are using? my question comes as I´ve seen a tyan chassis containing 4x600 watters psu ( that might be a bit overkill as it also had the daughter but 385 seems a bit small.. I am just guesstimating and crossing my fingers also)

Woody: It's not a laser! It's a... [sighs in frustration]
Yeah it's small, but I don't have anything else lying around atm, also it's a very efficient little PSU.. hoping for 300W-ish from the wall, which it can handle easily (up to 450W from the wall is no problem, and I won't be over 350W).
Have you tried playing with WCG running? I do not notice it on a quad.Originally Posted by Particle
Well it won't have a GFX hogging 12V lines anyway. I remember I ran a QX6700 B0 from a 350W Antec ... (until it went bang lol) But ran well. 220W from wall IIRC.
This must seem huge when a person is starring at it in person. J, this is a monster build. Would love to see it OC. Sure you're not gonna smoke that Enermax with this?
Sometimes a good slap in the face is all you need
Bios my arss.....
I can fix this problem with a hardware mod....Hipro5
"Overclock till death. Overclocking is life." Hipro5
Yeah, pretty sure. I have run worse, tho I am a little worried about the armada of adapters I'll need to use. 4pin Molex to 4pin 12V to 8pin 12V
Think one Molex can take the current of an 8pin 12V? We'll soon find out xD
And yes, it's freaking huge.. but very nice to look at, beatiful piece of hardware.
Depends on the game, some don't mind too much, while others kick up a huge stink. I usually suspend WCG while I'm gaming, it's only when I forget to suspend it do I find out if the game minds or not

All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
The only game I've had an issue with WCG running in the background is - wait for it - age of empires 2
Seriously, when the game gets busy it begins lagging sooo bad. Pause WCG and it runs perfectly. Doesn't share the CPU too well, unlike most other games out there.

Same here. If I don't pause WCG, game performance is significantly lower. That's with 12 CPUs.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
Most Source Engine games (Half Life 2, Counter Strike, TF2, Left4Dead) start stuttering with WCG, a lot of Unreal Engine 3 games will CTD randomly, Mass Effect crashes, CoD games get a little stuttery (but still playable), Oblivion and Fallout 3 get even more unstable. On the other hand, games like Assassin's Creed and a few others will work fine. It's really just trial and error, though, and varies from system to system, as I know a few people here who have no trouble playing some of the above games with WCG running.The only game I've had an issue with WCG running in the background is - wait for it - age of empires 2

i wouldnt be so sure about cs.
on my tricore my fps is topped out all the time.
Hmm, I noticed that Far Cry 2 doesn't play well with WCG but it's a horrible game so who cares.
Pretty nice little build you have him jcool. I'd expect nothing less.
that is cs which is an exceedingly old game based on "GLDSRC", not Source

he said counterstrikethat is cs which is an exceedingly old game based on "GLDSRC", not Source
cs:s is pegged at the top on mine also
W00t - no CS discussion in my thread, I hate that kiddo-crap
Anyway, still waiting on the coolers.. should be here any minute now.
I guess it will be for tomorrow then?
No idea, still no trans-o-flex in sight.. slackers!!!
Crap. Now the package arrived, but the Scythe retention brackets are missing. Apparently they went out of stock
it. I'm gonna set it up ghetto-style later, with zipties holding down the coolers
Some more work to do now tho.
No need, jcool. Just plop the coolers on top with some paste. I ran my dual 2GHz Barcelona that way for quite some time until I got proper heatsinks. Your LV 1.9s should do fine. I was just using AM2 box coolers.

Haha great, the coolers are too big, they don't fit next to each other... Thankfully you can remove the fan (92mm) and put a standard 80x80x25mm fan on top (the HS fits, barely). Zip ties in place on CPU 1 & 2, will try with "only" 2 for starters. Retention brackets should arrive tomorrow anyways.
Post 1 has been updated.. IT WORKS
Installing the OS as we speak.
Before you get too far, test with all 4 CPUs.
