Try this "mod" if you leave the side off of your case.

How are you crunching 24 wu's with 16 threads? I take it you reduced max CPU per wu? If so, would think that would add cruching time when it gets passed back to the CPU. I like having hex chips. More room to experiment. I can give each wu a thread. I've look at cases for the SR-2. Hugh suckers. Was then looking at stereo cases to mount the mobo's if I decided to do both my 1366 rigs. Saw a pic of a 4 motherboard setup in one. Looked sweet.
----------------------------------------If that pin moves a little when your trying to bend it back, chances are its broke underneath. I tried to get mine to work but in the end it went in for repair. It sucked but didn't want to toast a chip. These hexes aren't cheap. Good luck with that board.

Nano, is that window screen material?

I tried to get mine to work but in the end it went in for repair. It sucked but didn't want to toast a chip. These hexes aren't cheap. Good luck with that board. That 24 wu figure was for the dual octo. The 2 hexes don't have any gpu's yet. So I could probably add another 8 threads but it looks like the gpu's are maxed out so I'm leaving it for now. Plus I have only about 16 gig of memory in there I think since this was designed to just be a regular cruncher. If I go higher than 24 I get comp errors. I have another 16gig but again, I haven't gotten around to it. All of the pins seem to jiggle around so I'm not sure what to make of that. The cause of the dislocation was just the locking hood resting on the plastic guard which was askew in the socket. Nothing violent. So I think it's supposed to be that way on this board. I don't know {shrug}. I sure hope so. edit: Nanoprobe, thanks but that would drive me nuts. I know as soon as it was up I would think of something else I needed to do and so I would never put it back in place.  As the great prophet Dirty Harry once said "A man's gotta know his limitations."    [Edit 2 times, last edit by twilyth at Dec 23, 2012 3:17:03 AM] |

Sorry to say but if those pins are doing that, you need to send it in. It will be worth it. They will replace the entire socket. Plus while its in they usually do a diagnostic test to insure everything else is good. Better than frying a processor.

No, I meant the unbent pins are jiggly too.

Never seen that. Have had 6 dual xeon systems in the past and have never seen the pins move. Might want to email tech support to see what they have to say.

----------------------------------------It is already obsolete. With re-scoring the points so that GPUs get as much credit for CPUs for the same work done, the GPU points have already doubled (at least). More importantly, the Quick-Return Bonus (QRB) will shortly be applied to the GPU work (as it already is to the CPUs, but they have to be the fastest boards available and only with Linux at the moment.) Maybe did make a mistake here by how many cores you'll get with $10k, but was still expecting until QRB for GPU is enabled (outside one beta-project) the multi-cpu-system gets more PPD. Until QRB is available, the exact effect is unclear especially since the reported results is mixing both v2.22 and the slower v2.25, but it's atleast interesting participation of Amd-GPU's dropped like a stone the moment QRB was announced (but the drop can also be due to updated drivers released a day afterwards giving much worse FAH-performance...)Bearcat wrote: Actually, Multiple xeon CPU with a GPU works well but usually only 1 X16 PCI-E slot except for EVGA boards. Both of my dual xeon crunchers have a 7000 series AMD GPU. With the app_config file used now, I can crunch 10 GPU, and 10 on CPU. I leave 4 threads open.  This message doesn't make much sence to me, since I'm not aware of anyone being stupid enough to run multiple CPU-wu's at Folding@Home, and GPUGRID doesn't work with Amd-cards so...

Was meant for WCG in general.

Frankly I think this is a little like talking about your mistress in front of your wife. WCG should be your one, true love - your one and only. How can you people even look at another project.
