    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Regarding noise etc... I did this to my 1882-ix: "Had" to do something HW related again... - HWBOT forum Temps are 49C and 34C, both fans at 5V from what I recall.

    BigAdv with Opteron 8300/8400 chips.

    Not sure if it's a good idea to bump such an old thread, but as it's at page 20... Any real need for ECC/Reg RAM for 84xx chips on SM 4P 1207 boards?

    Fresh install of Win 7 on a GPT Raid setup

    Sort of late for updates, but it seems I found a fix. I used Rufus to create a bootable GPT UEFI USB drive, and that was it :)

    Fresh install of Win 7 on a GPT Raid setup

    GTX970. My HDDs are not the reason. AFAIK not the Areca 1882ix, either, as it has the latest FW. Sound card is a TItanium HD.

    Fresh install of Win 7 on a GPT Raid setup

    Got busy today, too, bot I did try the F8 boot menu. Not a single UEFI option to be seen.

    Fresh install of Win 7 on a GPT Raid setup

    All set to AHCI. For CSM settings check the album in the first post :) From what I can understand it should be all good, UEFI set first wherever I can see an UEFI option.

    Fresh install of Win 7 on a GPT Raid setup

    I can "deinitialize" it easily through diskpart, but of course a rebuild doesnt take long... delete array, choose the drives and re-create. There is no (U)EFI boot option for my BR/DVD-reader, though. Just "P6: ATAPI", as in the 2nd picture. No 2nd option...

    Fresh install of Win 7 on a GPT Raid setup

    So, I'm having some issues installing win 7 on a GPT partition. As my raid drive is 3TB I really cannot use MBR for this, so it's now initialized as GPT. I thought this would be easy, but it's not. I simply cannot figure out how to make it work - most times I see people mention multiple lines...

    Xeon E5 V2

    Just saying, if the 1691 v3 is unlocked, a 14c/28t daily driver at 4.5GHz is possible.

    Xeon E5 V2

    I thought it was the same deal with the 1680v2? I was looking for info on it all over the web back when the v2's were released, and all I found was indeed a couple of webshops, and nothing on ebay, either.

    Xeon E5 V2

    1680v2 is an 8 core. There are even a few on ebay as we speak - but at $1k, why bother :p maybe for science+ :D What we really need is someone with too much money who can buy this and give it a shot...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Is that even a question? The stock cooler doesn't shine if you want reasonable temps and silence in a regular desktop setup. It was sort of loud on my bench desk, even... I'm guessing the fan would spin up even further if it was 30-40C hotter, stuck between a pair of GPUs in my daily driver.

    Swapped the wtock cooler for a pair of VF700-Cu's - images here, as I can't see any attachment options on this forum (???): http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=131388 I'm guessing it would be safer to just get the dremel out of the closet and cut a few mm off of the fin-base on the left...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Finally I got my two 1882ix's. Now, here's some memory info for ya: Kingston KHX13C9B1/4R 9905403-447.A00LF was installed on one card and seems to work. 4GB stick. 2nd card got this: Hynix 4GB 1Rx8 PC3-14900E-13-12-D1 HMT451U7AFR8C-RD TA AD 1337 (yes, 1337 :) ). Appears to work as well. At...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I'm waiting for an 1882ix to arrive. It may take some time due to various issues, but in the meantime I thought I would use a 1280 instead. However, is it possible to simply move a raid array from a 1280ml to an 1882ix? A good friend of mine (who used Arecas for years) said that you can transfer...

    CPUs for folding nVIDIA cards

    I was thinking of using an ASUS M3F for this. It does 2.0 x8 if I use the two top slots, but I'd rather use the bottom one (2.0 x4), because of the extra space between the cards. If that's a bad idea PPD wise, I won't. 2nd option is some AMD mobo + a Deneb, or Thuban. Still not 100% sure if good...

    CPUs for folding nVIDIA cards

    I got a couple of GTX970's here... for folding only. My question is if my older MB/CPU/RAM combos are up to the task. I've got two 1366 quads and a 1156 quad here, and top range motherboards. Good enough?

    Folding with Xeon E5 v2?

    Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I scored a B0 12c v2 off ebay. Anyone actually got some mobo/BIOS combos that work instead of those that don't? :p

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Because I'm not sure how adequate the airflow will be - and I want a fairly quiet rig (it's in my bedroom). Plus, I like doing unusual things with my computer parts :) Adding some identity to the rig.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Not sure if answered before, but... anyone got a 1280ml (or any other 12xx card)? I need to know the distance between the mounting holes, so I can look for a better heatsink (or possibly a GPU block if I go nuts).

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Now, this is the weirdest thing I've seen for a long time. There IS a 4GB stick installed, which looks like a black backplate. Hynix. I was totally expecting a green PCB on that stick so I didn't even bother taking a closer look :p *octopus facepalm*

    No, I cannot test it myself :p I could ask my mate who received it to give it a shot - but I try to minimize the work for my good friends :) I live in Norway, so I always ship stuff to "middlemen" to save shipping costs and taxes/fees the greedy government would ask for if the box isn't marked...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Alright, one more question... I won an 1882ix on ebay the other day, and it arrived today. Good! What puzzles me is that the auction said that there should be one 4GB stick and one 1GB stick included. The picture showed no 4GB module, only that Unigen 1GB one. I asked to be sure, and he sent me...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Anyone with some 1280ML knowledge here? :) I'm thinking of buying a 1280ML, but I see all these different revisions on ebay. Ver B, Ver C, Ver 1.0 and 2.0. I have no clue if there are relevant differences between these four.

    Change in BA requirements

    In general I think us hardcore folders have to stick with high end rigs. 4P Magny Cours should still be fine :) My ES chips are approaching 5 years, and still kick some ass (though they're not folding at the moment, sucks being back in my mom's basement... with all these rigs collecting dust).

    Hardware you would avoid for DC'ing and why

    Depends on the IC used. The revision could tell you what's inside, at least to some degree.
  31. K

    I don't think CPUs are meant to look like that.

    You have to remove the thing, but then you should be good to go :)

    Do you HAVE TO run ECC/REG sticks in these rigs, or what?

    G34 chip choices.

    There was one guy whos old some 2.4 samples sub $400. He had 6, a set of 4 was gone when I checked it out, and I grabbed the last two. Now I'm waiting for another pair :p or Santa Claus :D

    Mixing B0 and B1 Interlagos

    I wonder what the power draw is... I'm pulling 1000W+ at 1.175v/3.6GHz already. If I had the balls I'd give 4 GHz a shot, but I need to run dual PSUs then :p

    Most likely one of the SM H8QGL ones. Yes, ES. Retails don't exist to me :D

    Mixing B0 and B1 Interlagos

    As the title suggests, is it a good idea to mix B0 and B1 Interlagos samples? Found a cheap B0 that I want to match to a spare B1 I've got here. Do B0's clock worse than B1? Not sure if there are enough chips tested by you folks to actually know this. However, if some B0 users have pushed...

    IL A1 chips... compatibility?
