Building a Sossaman rig?

[NaeKuh]

fairly easy dave.

And they do get warm, but i have an 80mm fan on it, and it keeps it in check.

Your right about sammy's tho. They never need restarting unless it does it because of updates. I totally forget i have her up sometimes.

Dave Natsuki is up. Im gona get slaughtered by you and CD. SpeedStep is on, i forgot to disable it.



Im gonna see if i can pull in 450, but i just found out this P5Q-DLX hates my crucial tracers, and 80% of my ram is D9's.

Well im taking the best of 2 rigs anyhow. Any idea if a 780i can last though 1 month of WCG?

[s0lid]

Ahh, God bless FedEx!
Guess what just showed up a day early?
Four nice pretty Intel Sossaman boards.
Now I've just decided that since our good friend Mr.Martijn is known as Mr. Boardburner that I should only send three and keep his for extensive testing.
Say 2-3 months should do it!

Sweeeeet! Could you post some pictures from em ?

[Martijn]

Dave, you do realize that Jaco hasn't got my telephone number either and that we aren't in the phone books right?

Oh and how were you supposed to do extensive testing without CPUs? Want do borrow one or two?

*pssst* RE: ur sig, they are socket 479

[Martijn]

*pssst* RE: ur sig, they are socket 479

WHO CARES! They are socket 478 chips with a different pinout, so basically no difference at all

will do but later today or tomorrow, hectic day

HMM.. Sure, send them over!

Not true, these are 479 and essentially Yonah laptop chips..VERY different.


Now for my morning;
I just went to pick up the HS.
I got 10 of them.
The first time I was there getting HS the lady that runs the place wasn't there.
She was today and asked what boards we used these in.
I told her where we got them and at what price and she says hold on a sec then comes back with one of the boards in her hands..
From now on we get them from her. $20.00 and no shipping.
She also wants to know about cpu's as she may have them available also and I told her about us getting them at $42.00 a pair so this may play out well.

OH, the board she brought out to show me, she said "keep it"
When she left I handed the $20 to her husband and told him to tell her to use it for lunch.

All in all a very good morning!

How much did the HSs cost??? $20???

[Martijn]

No, the mobo would've cost $20, but he got it for free

The HSs were $10 each.

EDIT: my math is failing on me, that's indeed $20 for the sinks.

[Movieman]

HS are $10.00 each, $20.00 a pair.
She also has the boards for $20.00 each and thats equal to what Centrix sells them for except from her I can pick them up and NO SHIPPING CHARGES!
38 miles round trip from my house..

Oh, she has " a couple hundred boards"....

[s0lid]

Oh, she has " a couple hundred boards"....

But no Cpus?

[Jaco]

That's great news !!
Let us know how much she asks for the cpu's.

[s0lid]

I've PMd some people and told them than i'm not gonna take those sossamans after all.
There is quite reasonable explanation: My dual clovertown build needs an mobo, mem and second waterblock. And those things cost wayyy more than this sossaman build would cost but since i don't have an job or rich parents, I'd rather get my everyday comp working (yes the dual clover one) and then think about getting other crunchers.
That's all.

Then I would be interested in the second pair of sossamans..

[Bail_w]

Then I would be interested in the second pair of sossamans..

Can i have them? i swear i will try keep them up 24/7.

Edit: Oh nvm, since you have the motherboard and etc.

YHPM.

I'll make you a deal;
IF your going to use these for WCG I'll pass on them and wait for another pair..

Can you give me an idea how much the total will cost for motherboard, cpus, heatsinks and backplate?

[Movieman]

Can you give me an idea how much the total will cost for motherboard, cpus, heatsinks and backplate?

My best guess is this:
Motherboard: Grab from Centrix for $28.66 shipped to you as they are close to you in Calif.
HS: $20.00 plus shipping($5.00-6.00) from me to you.
CPU's: From Martijn; App $75.00 and shipping($15-20 I'd guess from Belgium to Calif with cheap shipping)
backplates: $2.95 plus shipping from performance PC's($app $8.00 total)
Total of app $158.00..

[skinnee]

and roughly how many BOINC PPD for a Sossmann setup?

and roughly how many BOINC PPD for a Sossmann setup?

Mine with the 2000mhz cpu's( WCG points)

8000 ppd and 100w power draw

[Bail_w]

My best guess is this:
Motherboard: Grab from Centrix for $28.66 shipped to you as they are close to you in Calif.
HS: $20.00 plus shipping($5.00-6.00) from me to you.
CPU's: From Martijn; App $75.00 and shipping($15-20 I'd guess from Belgium to Calif with cheap shipping)
backplates: $2.95 plus shipping from performance PC's($app $8.00 total)
Total of app $158.00..

Nvm, i think i have to pass at this moment. Thanks

[Movieman]

8000 ppd and 100w power draw

I should add that the machine also runs MJ12 24/7 at high levels and that does cut into the cpu usage..

Nvm, i think i have to pass at this moment. Thanks

That's ok.. If someone else doesn't want the cpu's I'll take them as my sammy is leaving on a long trip once I get the $$ to pay for the damned shipping..

[skinnee]

so, roughly 1000 BOINC PPD, only 100w draw for $200. $200 for board, chipset sinks (I think those were the sinks you were talking about) and CPU's.

[s0lid]

Arrrrrrrr!
Need to get new radiator, sata dvd drive, psu... Not cheap! And i still need to get that mobo, memory and apogee block and there is parts worth of over 480€ and also need to get parts i listed first worth of over 150€

Total price is about 630€...
