Just broke 300 million.Team rank 19. Cant afford more electric to go faster right now.:mad:

From my troubles DO NOT use EPS Splitter. I did and basically killed a board, splitter burnt due to amperage then 3rd EPS melted as it was carrying full load of board. POOF. So now it only works with one CPU.:mad: Tear is right about EPS splitters

^Was just thinking about doing that but I see other brands can do the same thing

got my RMA replacement OCZ 1250w gold in . now I am afraid to use it after the above.. BTW my 4P blowup had another item to be destroyed besides the board and PSU. was looking at the killowatt and the socket for it is melted just as PSU connections were. This shit is getting expensive.

interesting I did it

Just lost my 4 month old GTX 660 ti Factory OC:mad: RMA now in process. Hope replacement lasts longer This has been crappy year so far down to a single 4P may have to fire up my socket F 4P at this rate

250 Million. Should be much more but 2 of 3 boxen down now

"Need a band saw. " MOS-C10 $16.00 set Cheap Band saw $369.00 [H]ard choice :confused:

I just have not had time to do any more testing but she will recover soon.

Well she is just sitting there, I'm in process of moving to new house and haven't had time to deal with it. She will be back in action soon I hope. Thanks for inquiry.

yep:p

WOW Great going there MR Musky:cool: Not sure I can count that many zeros:D

That was what my 6180SE chips would do on my Gi board before the power problem

Have Project: 8103 (Run 0, Clone 10, Gen 0) running on my 6166HE 4P now. :D

Sorry I didn't explain that I do Have UPS on system.

Yes, but tried reseating memory and that was no go.

Woke up this morning and attempted to get on this site. No Go had to go to another room to reset verizon router (junk). while there realized the i7 box not running, attempted to reset and it was very vocal. 5 beeps and no video..:mad: Not video card (new GTX660 ti) or memory as I replaced both...

Might be a few holding off due to recent 4P motherboard problems. I was going to add a 3rd one, but after my problem that is on hold:mad: Good price on those processors though

UPDATE Just had a little time to start testing. JPW3 and JPW4 are being used right now Had a couple scary power-up's board finally decided to boot. Boots on CPU1 able to go online view this site and others. Loads FAH and runs still using CPU1 loaded WU and running More updates later

looks like $200 for pair.... I would grab them actually all four for that price. Should Over clock well. No expert here but run 6166HE's Overclocked

With that board you need 4 fast hex core opterons for big adv, I think they will still make time. Opteron 8439 running 2.8Ghz I was able to get 6901's using 4x 8389 4 cores @2.9ghz on that board completed in time but not sure now. Yes it takes ECC Ram

"Secondly, was the failure due to general operation of the equipment, or was it operated outside of normal parameters?" I would say normal operation as that will eventually kill a board. You Know Big Brother reads these boards.;)

Ouch! Hope you have no problem with RMA.

Congratulations. You really deserve this for all the work you have done to help others.

Due to decreased memory capacity I hadn't thought about replacing the EPS socket on the MB. It has been quite a few years since I have done that type of work. If the board posts and will still works I might do that. I do have the desoldering tools just have to locate them.. couple of older atx...

a 12" box fan works great

Other than the obvious damage to JPW2 and cleaning the ATX pins I see nothing else. no signs of overheating, blown caps or vrms anywhere. Board is on 2" standoff screws. no splitters. have pci to eps cables now. JPW2 is going to be a pain, have to find a very small scraper to get in there to...

Took a ton of effort getting them unplugged, sort of welded in the socket and plastic gumming up the works. JPW4 appears OK, dark area is just shadow. @sc0tty8 "If the board posts I might be interested in purchasing it from you for a deeply discounted rate". If it posts I will have it...

Sad photo update : Appears 12v hit the 24pin ATX lines where it should not be as heat damage is showing. Returning PSU to OCX for replacement. When I have some more time will attempt to see if board is fried using a 750w spare psu will check CPUs also. This sucks.

I remember the 6 burma shave signs one after another spaced about 1/10 mile apart along the old roads for complete message to buy it. age shows for the post :eek:

Sorry no pictures yet. I think the board is toast :mad: The 8 pin EPS connection next to the 24 pin connector shows heavy damage internally. The PS cable for that EPS connection has a crystallized connector and melted insulation, plus where it was next to other cables it damaged them also. The...

PSU is OCZ 1250 Gold.. 108amp single rail YES stupid me I used an EPS splitter to fill the 3rd spot. Totally forgot about it as was supposed to be just until I ordered a PCI to EPS adapter but I forgot to do it. Big hurry to get setup running.

I do have another 4P and will be using it to check things. Same PSU , testing is not the problem but replacements may be.. was going to upgrade my 4P 6166HE but will use it for the testing I have to do. Just will be a few days before I can start on it.:mad:

Looked at my 6180 4p this afternoon . no fans running, strange smell in the room.:eek: YUCK all 3 8pin cpu power wire connectors are melted along with lots of insulation. Dont know what damage to board, processors of PSU etc but hope nothing. the board connectors look fine. Also hoping PSU...

First 1000kWh $0.089kWh Above 1000kWh $0.1089kWh If wasn't this low then I would not be able to run 2x 4P Couldn't stand $0.40kWh on my income

Well I thought I would get there now but you guys passed me an kept me in holding position:( Lookout in a few more day I will break into the EOC top 100. Actually Official numbers put me at number 90 of 1668457 :D

That is Ebay seller checking the box to collect sales tax. Some have to do it for instate sales, others do it to get extra money.

My two servers are folding only Next week the 6166HE box is going down to upgrade to 6180's
