    Look at the RAID support. SB600/700/710 don't have RAID5, SB750 does.

    SB700S -> SP5100 by the looks of it. Way before SB750 was a twinkle in our eye that Wikipedia article also mentioned a SB710S in the works with something like ACC.

    For now, I'm sticking to it being SB750 due to the following:

    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.

    Can I make a request for this thread and others to follow-If a Thread this Awesome gets to this length-can we get it converted to an audio file so if I decide to reread it again in the future i can listen to it instead.Thank you

    Particle did you ever get your Istanbul CPU's over 2.5GHz

    Hawkeye, so using ntune you were able to get a pair of shanghai's over 3GHz

    Might Ntune work with a pair of Istanbul CPU's on an nforce chipset, or would I run into the same problem that particle is having without being able to increase the vcore.

    My problem was never vcore. I couldn't get HTT up high enough for that to matter. Those ancient nVidia chipset boards (MCP55/nForce 3600 Pro) have unstable clock generators just like all the other AMD boards designed around that time. Remember those initial Socket 939 days where people still had to worry about how high they could crank HT ref? Same deal. Boards seem to get to ~220-230 MHz.

    I've bought a new board based on AMD's SR5690 chipset, but nothing seems to exist that will allow me to overclock with it. AMD Overdrive crashes when there are > 4 CPUs in a system. I've been talking to the creator of SetFSB and even paid him a good chunk, but for whatever reason he hasn't ever added support for this clock generator. Now his page says something along the lines of he's not going to work on it anymore. I think I'm just boned. All I need is something that can change my HT reference clock for goodness sake.

    Anyone know of anything other than SetFSB? I've got money. I can pay someone to develop this thing if that's what it'll take.

    I think a lot of us here would like that. I know I am waiting for the new server socket to be launched to buya board based on this chipset, and it would be nice to finally be able to overclock again since I moved to dual socket computers.
    Rig 1:
    ASUS P8Z77-V
    Intel i5 3570K @ 4.75GHz
    16GB of Team Xtreme DDR-2666 RAM (11-13-13-35-2T)
    Nvidia GTX 670 4GB SLI

    Rig 2:
    Asus Sabertooth 990FX
    AMD FX-8350 @ 5.6GHz
    16GB of Mushkin DDR-1866 RAM (8-9-8-26-1T)
    AMD 6950 with 6970 bios flash

    Wow, that's morally bankrupt. He should give you the money back at the very least. It's a man's word worth anything these days?

    It isn't quite like that. The financial relationship is an asynchronous one. He's got a donate button on his page that you can use. While I figure it can be used to get his attention, it doesn't make any promises for supporting whatever clock generators you'd like to see supported. He seemed disinterested, as every time I emailed him it was like starting all over again. He didn't appear to remember that I'd already contacted him and that he was going to work on it.

    Thanks to a member of this forum, however, there is some hope. I've been in contact with some BIOS engineers who have been kind enough to take an active interest in my pursuit. They're going to try to get something going with any luck.

    Hi particle,

    I received one of those S8212 dual socket boards yesterday and I'm abit lost atm gettinge this kvm stuff working. I assume your supermicro board also has the aspeed 2050 chip with bmc and kvm capabilities. Do you have any monitoring or management software? tyan only shiped the board with an basic driver cd.

    I was equally perplexed, unfortunately. I don't have any idea how that stuff is supposed to work. I looked around for a software front-end that could actually do something with that capability but didn't see anything from Supermicro. I'm not sure how they expect people to use it.

    Well I asked tyan support and it's so easy.
    The IPMI / KVM function does not require any tools. When the board POSTs, you can read the IP address on the POST screen. Also you can set the IP address in the Bios of your mainboard.
    Then go to another PC and insert this IP in the address bar of your browser. You can then login with user: root and password: superuser.
    In the webinterface you have the option to read the sensors and also to start the remote console which is the KVM function.
