    Yea, but I got around that..

    TRUE base is ~40mm. So no, I don't think it would.

    Well... My harpertown rig was only the second rig I've built. And the first one was done some 6 years earlier - mostly by my dad... So in some sense, my harper rig is my first truly self-built rig.

    So I definitely didn't have the balls at the time to do any sort of modding on a 10k rig. Even though we didn't have to pay for all it... it's still expensive stuff.

    making a fan fit a HS isn't modding, it's cake..10 mins with a cordless drill and searching the bins at the hardware store for the right screws.. cake..

    Ok, sorry folks, back to topic..

    Teir two motherboard maker!?!??!!! An insult! <3 SuperMicro

    Core 2 Duo(Conroe) was based on the Intel Core Duo(Yonah) which was based on the Pentium M(Banias) which was based on the Pentium III(Coppermine).

    Core 2 Duo is a Pentium III on meth.

    agreed.. Not commonly known but when Intel wants verification of a concept who do they turn to first? Supermicro..

    LGA 1366 is for high performance, and LGA 1156 for more mainstream use, the same for G34/C32.

    Super Micro has never produces a mobo with OC options in the bios, right?

    Maybe SM needs to take the initative and try to go into that market. I know they make great server boards, I own a dual socket 940 opty board, but I'd love to see them give Asus/GIgabyte/EVGA/MSI, etc a run for their money.

    i7 isn't for me as the performance is NOT high enough to warrant moving from a q6600 @ 3.6ghz and more recently an P2 945 @ 3.75ghz to 4.0-4.4ghz for $800.

    This sort of set up, with comparable clock for clock to i7 would be worth it considering that its 12 REAL cores and that it actually could OC to 4.0ghz (at least on water).

    Ok, I'll stop dreaming....

    Nice stuff anyways.

    socket G34 and socket C32 are sever sockets.
    bulldozer will fit in AM3/AM3+. AM3 is not dead these do not replace desktop, but socket 1207 severs.

    Socket F love. You and I are destined to wander into obsolescence I fear.
    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.

    Rule 1A:
    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.

    Allowing OC options would eat away at some of the market for the higher binned chips. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if Intel/AMD is paying these mobo companies to NOT allow OC options.

    Nonsense. Servers aren't going to be overclocked by anyone who is really in the market for one. They'll be OC'd by enthusiasts and fly-by-nights and that's it.

    If I was a manager, and I knew some money could be saved like this. Then even if I didn't have the technical know how to do it, I'd find someone to do it.

    chances are if you have a company and need a rackmount server, you probably are playing with data too valuable to let get corrupted by an OCed CPU.

    The C32/G34 situation looks like this (C32 for 1P & 2P entry level servers, G34 for 2P & 4P performance market):



    Acording to this table, there's no single socket G34, only C32.

    For sure, new cores based on Bulldozer (Interlagos & Valencia) will use the same sockets, in fact the platform is the same (San Marino & Adelaide), only BIOS update required, it's my guess.

    Yes, that along with warranty issues would be the reason not to do so.
    But if the cost benefit analysis turns up positive in the end, I can see someone doing this from a purely business perspective.

    Of course I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just thinking from an entirely business standpoint.

    +1

    The people running the show don't want you messing with anything. Data corruption is not worth the extra speed. I've never even heard of an IT or related position being allowed to mess with hardware settings besides raid arrays, etc.

    Enthusiasts would kill for a board with SLI/Crossfire, a socket or two with this cpu.

    I don't see it happening, but its always a nice thought, lol.

    at that point you would be circuit breaker limited. youd have one PSU coming from the bathroom and one from the kitchen just to keep them from tripping.

    Do you really think it would consume more than 3600W?! I can hardly believe it.

    On topic: Will this work with unbuffered DDR3 or ECC/registered only?
