Quad socket board communitarian bulk buy

[werdwerdus]

i have tried a pci card, it is an S3 vga pci card. Tried a couple different ram sticks in CPU0 DIMM0. PSU is the 610w pcp&c. i don't have an ati card...

[shoota]

With your board I used one CPU in cpu0, four sticks in cpu0 dimm0 1~4 and an ati card. Assuming you have the correct adapters and that they're plugged in right I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe you can post a couple pics of it setup

fleabay has 40+ for 25$ each

[shoota]

same seller that we got all our 8347's from. if these had been available i would have gotten them, nice wattage savings for only -100 mhz

[werdwerdus]

does anybody have a manual for this board? i'd like to know what the status LEDs are representing.

taking a couple pics in a little bit.

I just ordered four of those CoolerMaster CPU coolers...they are now gone from the site. Hope they had four of them!

[shoota]

make sure you have retention brackets

I was looking at this board in my hands, looking at heatsinks online.... Then wondered about watercooling the whole thing

I wonder if I could pick up some cheap used CPU blocks, like the original Apogee or something like that... Wonder what size of radiator I'd need, or if I'd need two.

Then reality sets in and I realize how much it would cost to watercool it. But it sure would be a good way to keep it quiet and heatsink space not an issue

[shoota]

Watercooling this board would be so awesome! I would guess you'd need two rads, at least 240's

Standard socket 939 backing plates right?

[Sparky]

The board comes with backplates.

AmiJIm, I'll let you know my results. I have some random ATI PCIe card from an older Dell dimension I'm planning on using. Will let you know results.

That thread you linked is in never-never land or something.
