Building a Sossaman rig?

[Sparky]

Yes. You can't stick it in the side that it fits though. Once CPU runs off the left side, one runs off the right. Because of the low power of the CPUs, you can get away with just pushing the 4 pin in the middle of the 8 pin socket. That way, each CPU gets on half of the 4 pin plug. Little bit of a tight fit because of the keying of the socket but it'll fit Or you could trim the key on the 4 pin plug, or get a 4 to 8 pin adapter if you don't want to shoehorn or modify the plug.

ur a legend, sparky, thank u muchly!

Heh, hardly. I'm just a nerd who tries stuff just to find out if it works or not

For what it's worth, the Supermicro board runs with just the 4-pin on the side that fits.

Must share the connection then. The intel board has each CPU on its own half of the 8 pin.

well that was a fail... i'm over it.. how much do 2x SL8WT fetch these days?

I want to SELL my 2 CPUs NOT buy!

Haha, 85 dollars for two.

u offering?

[D_A]

I'd be interested, but I don't have the time or energy to build another system from scratch, even though I've only ever seen one Sossaman based system on fleabay (and the seller never answered any of several questions about the item)

No, i am saying thats about how much you will get.

I have a complete one for sale, all you need is a hard drive and power supply then you are set.

[D_A]

Ahhh there's the other three components I don't have, a SAS hdd, a server power supply and the money to buy any or all of it.

The board does not accept SAS hdd unless you buy an adapter. Also, you can use any power supply as long as it has a 8 pin cpu plug or with a 4 to 8 pin cpu adapter.

[CaptMorgan]

I believe this is the PSU I have for mine

[Mr_Slinky]

All in all the system costs about 160-200 for the board, cpus, memory. You just just need a power supply.. 30-50 and hard drive.. 20-40, $12 for the backplates and $20 for the sinks so in a little less then $300.

No SAS on these boards. I have a SATA drive on the one, and an IDE drive on the other. Just uses a standard 24 pin PSU (preferably with an 8 pin CPU power but as mentioned above there are ways around that ). So heck use an old 20GB IDE hard drive and a random PSU and there ya go

[D_A]

Pity I don't have the money.

[Jaco]

I also have a pair of 2.0Ghz cpu's which are not being used. (+ heatsinks + backplate)

[D_A]

Joy. Everything a guy could need to get one of these running is sitting around in XS folk's spares bins and my total budget runs to $50AUD.

[Molotox]

I feel stupid now, thanks

[D_A]

I've been stewing over that lot, too, but won't have the money any time soon. Grab them if you want them ... just put them to good use, k.
