lol i was messing around. anyway, they only have total of 8 in stocks?

[s0lid]

Ahh, you got two chances..Slim and none..And forget slim!
Right now I couldn't sponsor a tiddlywink contest between two midgets if it took place in my living room.
Blew a lot of money lately, more than I had to play with.

Ok, you guys will need to come up with app $80.00 for the 4 pairs of heatsinks and $2.95 each and shipping for the xeon backplates that I will order from Performance PC's.. The ones Jaco showed should work fine also.
Just let me know whats planned and by PM in addition to this thread in case I miss it..
Oh, boards were shipped today, should arrive to me next friday.

Eh Dave, 5pairs o Heatsinks
Bootup5 takes also heatsinks, but no mobo...

Ach lets make the list here:
s0lid: mobo, HS, backplate
Jcool: mobo, HS, backplate
Jaco: mobo, HS, backplate
Martijn: mobo, HS, backplate
Bootup5: HS

[s0lid]

There was total of 6cpus of 11€ Xeons

U can get 1.667GHz models for $60/piece, Those should be over 300pcs...
The link is on some page of this thread, happy searching

[Martijn]

Dave, I sent my part of the deal for the backplates and shipping costs. $60 should cover the total, right?

[Bail_w]

So no one have pin-mod these suckers successfully yet?

[s0lid]

266FSB mod works, but not suitable for 2.0GHz model due 12x multiplier.
Might work better with 1.667GHz model

Hi, How do you know this 266FSB mod works?
I don't think it will as from all I've read( and trust me here, I did a LOT of research on these) the highest FSB ever gotten with the Yonah was 245 on that Aopen 975 board..App 2940mhz they got to.
I think your going to have to be happy with the 200FSB pin mod IF it will work.
It didn't for me but hey, I'm an old blind man so maybe I missed something.
Taking these chips from 2000(1995 in reality) so from 2000/2mb/667 to 2400/2mb/800 is a decent jump.
At that speed they should do just over 10,000 a day in WCG as they perfectly work out to 1.1 point per day per total mhz.
To put that in perspective, when the Q6600 B3 kentsfields came out they worked out to 1.09 permhz per day so these are pretty impressive little chips.
With a working pin mod to 2400 thats 9600 total mhz and that times 1.1 equals 10,560 points a day claimed. Not bad huh?

Oh, ok then :P

[s0lid]

Let's update som:
The mobos are at Moviemans place at friday, how about heatsinks and backplates?

[Martijn]

Maybe I should order the backplates here in the Netherlands, if they were the ones that Jaco showed us?

EDIT: they aren't, NVM.

[Movieman]

Let's update som:

I ordered 2 backplates as jaco has 2 already and making a trip this week to get 8 heatsinks.
Not sure what day on that yet so by friday I should have 4 boards,2 backplates and 8 heatsinks.

Ok,
Let's hope they'll be there by end of this week

Boards are scheduled to be delivered on Thursday, backplates were ordered today, usually 2 days from them to me.
heatsinks I do have to call them before going to pick up but I don't see an issue there. they had over 100 on hand when I was last there.

[s0lid]

Btw what size of psu is this requires ?

I've an 230W psu over here, with P4 connectors and all :P
Is that enought? should be...

Btw... It's my bday, yes i'm now 17

[loonym]

Whoa... HAPPY BIRTHDAY s0lid!!!

230w is enough for this system. (you'll need an 8-pin plug though!)

I'm going for a 400w 80+ efficient psu. Should be at 80% efficiency at 100w load.

I was just getting ready to make a thread for Frish so you get one also. Unhide your bday next time :P
