    non issue, as it's such a low temp it wouldn't concern me.
    These are rated for 100C so 20 anything is cake..
    Mine run at up to 40C in a closed case and 34C in an open case..
    This is one of those deals where I look at the temps and then look at the X3380 at 57C at 100% load and just smile.

    Perhaps, you may want to reapply thermal paste and remount the heatsink?

    Kind of off topic, but... that exact power supply you have... I had one of them go out the other day. c_c I hate to even look at it. lol Not sure what size yours is but mine was 650w and it died after 2 years of running at maybe a max of 300W..


    Anyways, sorry if I missed it in this huge thread but how many boinc points do these produce? And what could a complete setup cost someone?

    The Corsair 400w is an excellent PSU for this build.
    $49.95 at the egg.
    As to cost to build( In the USA:
    board: $30.00
    memory: $37.00(2x1gig)
    HS: $10.00 each and shipping
    cpu's: Tough to say, it's "catch as catch can" from ebay.
    maybe $100.00/pair right now

    Thanks Dave! These are rather cost effective little items it seems. Who doesn't want a dual socket rig of some type?

    How many boinc points could one expect from this setup?

    7000-8000 a day WCG points, divide by 7 for boinc points.

    Avg. boinc for my 2gig sammys is 1009.28 or 7064.96 WCG. I have a pair of 1.6 setting on my desk doing nothing. I need to find them a home.

    That's a pretty decent output for this price and power usage. I'm sure that's why there's a 46 page long thread on them. =p Thanks guys.

    It isn't that it's huge power as it isn't.
    What it is, is a decent output in a machine that will essentially run without maintainence, ok, so blow out the dust twice a year, run cool, use just a little elec and do all of the above well.
    The key is that the parts were orginally server quality.
    The board was $430-480 depending on who was selling.
    At that price back in 2006 it wasn't worth doing but at $30.00 for the board and $100.00 for a pair of cpu's it is.
    My Sammy rigs have done well over 2,000,000 WCG points so far.

    Another good thing is the amount of heat produced. My Q6600 alone could heat my room in the winter. (Also doesn't help that my room is upstairs.)

    I know for F@H the x8 bus doesn't matter. Heck I was running a card on a first gen PCIe x4 slot with no issues on it
    If you are referring to GPUgrid, I don't know.

    this was the deciding factor when building the Sossa. I honestly can't believe how cool this sever runs under full load. I live in Florida and the room it runs in doesn't heat up at all. I had to see it run first hand, before I believed.

    We've had enough new projects lately to at least have 1 of them be CUDA based. Too bad. =/

    On another off topic side note I upgraded my athlon 6400+ to a phenom 9600 because my old rigs mobo died and I had the phenom waiting to be used thanks to an awesome member from here. I oc'd the phenom to 2.7ghz, not sure if it'll go higher. Cpu temp is around 42*c with some cheap copper butterfly HS I had. (24*c amb)


    I'd like to mess around with a sossaman rig.

    I also got a little sidetracked fiddling with the alsa usb sound driver, I've been trying to get 5.1 analog out of this usb card and it took writing my own patch to the driver to get it working... gotta love Linux!
