I have 10 more NVIDIA GRID M40's cards for sale. Note these are NOT Tesla M40 models and we still do not have VDI working (we do not have access to the NVIDIA driver/ tools yet.) Also note you will likely have to make some BIOS settings changes to make these work. We have been able to use...

Hi all, Selling my old workstation. You will have to add the GPU and drives but this is an awesome quiet and stable machine. Key goals of the system were to get many PCIe lanes, more than 32GB of ram and keep it quiet (<38dba) and compact. I have limited office space so while I wanted...

For those wondering - been a bit out of pocket. Got engaged on valentine's day. The dual spicy E5 system I was hoping to fold with decided to go haywire and keeps eating Ubunutu installations which has been fun. On the slower side been working with the Intel Atom Centerton SoC in a 1U with the...

Hey all. Usually hang out on the DC forums (go Team 33), but we recently found Dell XS23-TY3's on ebay very inexpensively. Basically they are 4 dual processor nodes in a 2U chassis, much like the Supermicro 2U Twin2. Cost is just under $1,100 shipped for four DP nodes w/ 24GB RAM each. Lots of...

Thank you for my care package. +1 for you.

Looking for pairs of L5638's and L5639's. If you have extras sitting around let me know. Don't need motherboard/ memory/ heatsinks or anything since these are replacing existing CPUs.

Burning in the new colo "server" well.. the 4 node, 8 CPU server in a 2U box. Very interesting that each dual Xeon L5520 node no Kraken is doing about 27-30k ppd on normal SMP units. So 100-120K ppd for the box. Total power draw, even with things like the redundant 1100w PSUs I have in this...

Posting this first for the DC'ers: Intel Core i7-2600K ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution (board and I/O shield) 16GB (4x 4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600MHz (black heatsink) $375 shipped lower 48. I know some folks are looking for boards like these since they need PCIe slots for GPUs.

Decided to move the site off of AWS cloud and move to a colocated. Original thought was one server, but that is now 4x servers, 2x switches 2x firewall appliances and maybe a 5th server. Budget for that project went from $500 and $50/mo to 5-8x both of those figures. As a result, need to move...

Hola folks, Am currently playing with a dual E5-2687W Supermicro Hyper-Speed system Trying to use tear 6901 so I can do a bit of overclocking (see above) and test across speeds. Hitting the transfer WU to new machine issue where it is resetting the WUs. Any thoughts on how to resolve...

Doing a bit of stability testing on the new Windows 8 installation. 12.10 on the FAH client looks like it is doing its thing... really slowly with a a3 core... Can post a guide to Hyper-V Ubuntu 12.10 setup if folks are interested.

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=549983 Contribution! Took the laptop's VM 2 days to churn that sucker out.

For Free: 2x C32 AMD Opteron Chips for the [H]* Offer only good if you are Tobit and are putting them to use.

Not sure if folks have seen these on ebay but very interesting cards. Apparently they are an OEM part with basically no design wins. Instead of a LSI SAS2016 these use dual SAS2008 chips with a PLX bridge chip to feed a PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Net result is you have a low profile single slot...

Hi all, Been awhile. Bought a new house and then have been working on STH + the Tom's Hardware dual Xeon E5 piece posted today. If anyone noticed, I included F@H numbers although not an official TH test :-) One thought I have been kicking around is moving STH to a dual Xeon E5 box, and...

Hi, I have a small blog that I have basically hit the point where I need to hire help to do a few things: 1. Change the WordPress site to a different DB structure to Amazon RDS (already use EC2 + CloudFront) 2. Help with a few fixes I need from time to time 3. Help with enhancements I think of...

Since I moved recently, I decided it is time to clean out some stuff. If you want to purchase multiple items, let me know, and if you need something (e.g. need a motherboard/ fan for a CPU) let me know. Items for Sale CPUs Intel Core i3-540 used for about 12 hours. $65 Intel Xeon E3-1220 -...

Bought a house so need to clear out extra rigs. Prices are shipped to the lower 48 US states Will add more when I get a chance. Heat under pjkenned Sold items First up, 2x EVGA GTX 470's with Danger Den FC waterblocks. Switched to a single GPU because I don't game much anymore. $xxx.xx for...

I realized that I don't have time for games anymore so may as well downgrade a bit: First are two EVGA GTX 470's with Dangerden FC waterblocks $195 each (prefer to sell pair though) shipped to the lower 48 and add $15 for the original coolers. SOLD are two EVGA GTS 450's that I haven't used in...

Consolidating some servers so I am selling some excess hardware: AMD G34 Gear - 2x Opteron 6164 HE's and two Dynatron A6's for $725 add Tyan S8236WGM3NR dual G34 motherboard w/ LSI SAS2008 for $275 - TYAN S8812WGM3NR 4P G34 motherboard and 4x Dynatron A1 heatinks (big heavy solid copper...

Just saw Mtnduey has 101.5M points after putting up around 1.5M points over the past two days making the eight [H] member to hit 100M points and also making Mtnduey the #7 [H] folder. Congrats!

Team, I know we are battling EVGA. I will have a minor dip in PPD coming in the near future. Four Opteron 6166 HE's just sold. My plan is to use the proceeds either four faster dodecas now or Interlagos shortly. I will pull these four from dual dodeca rigs but it is going to limit my max...

PS3 6/10: #10 24hr average at 1.11M ppd pjkenned 6/10: #15 24hr average at 0.91M ppd (up from ~0.60M ppd earlier this week.) Grab some tamales, we need four [H] members in the top 10 daily output (and 5 once sfield makes the switch [I can hope]). PS3 - Your days are limited and mine hasn't...

Decided to further consolidate the farm a bit since I have (way) too much gear: AMD G34 Gear None left :-( AMD C32 Gear (aka cheap filler for Valencia) - 2x AMD Opteron 4162 EE Six-Core 1.7 Ghz Socket C32 CPUs $160 (for the pair!) I think I have C32 coolers that I could throw in for $170...

As many know, Haitch has been hard at work building an automated F@H application that can both use musky's benchmark WUs and also analyze live performance. As part of this application, Haitch is capturing a variety of data including CPU, clock speed, memory speeds and timings, TPF...

Sad news, as fun as it is to be #13 in 24hr production all is not well... the SR-2 sold and is now folding for another [H] member who is going to be mowing like crazy soon (should boost PPD by more than 10x starting tomorrow). Also there has been interest in the dual 6164 HE so that rig may go...

5 minutes ago decided to right-size the folding farm since... as nice as it is to have 10 boxen + 2 not folding... it is a bit excessive. Want high-end stuff? Everything is available on 4/25. Prices are shipped to lower 48 states. Random stuff: 1. EVGA GTX 285... I have been using it as a VGA...

You are now #3 in EOC's "Points 24hr Avg" and I would appreciate it if you could get the uber-box online!!! With pictures ;)

As some may have read, I purchased a total of ten dodeca cores recently and have a few motherboards to test for ServeTheHome. The process has been yielding interesting results. Performance I built the box and downloaded the first WU at 11:58PM yesterday, and had the first bigadv uploaded at...

Not sure if anyone would be interested but thought I would give it a shot. Have a new X58 motherboard to test and too many LGA 1155 platforms.

It has been well documented that there are long, sometimes 30+ minute pauses between folding complete and when WUs are uploaded when using ext4. I believe that this may be true primarily for users of traditional disks rather than solid state disks. Here are a few data points that seem...

Bought 4 but couldn't get more than a dual socket motherboard. Lightly used Socket G34 6164 HE's 12 cores each (24 total): HE is the low-power version with a 65w ACP. Asking $850 for the pair. (Sell new from Dell/Provantage and etc for $770-$830 each)

Wanted to see if anyone has FAH setup under Linux to startup as a service. I had my Ubuntu box restart for some unknown reason and I wanted to see if anyone had a way to do this. I have -smp -bigadv in the config file and already tried running ./fah6 as a startup application but that seemed...

Had a perhaps dumb thought but does a 24-pin power supply splitter exist? Looking at my SB builds they pull well under 200w each even at start-up. It would be awesome if there was a way to power 2 motherboards off of one 660w gold PSU or something similar. Less fans = less power consumption/...

Looking to upgrade the E5606's so if anyone has a pair of these or something similar, let me know. Also willing to look at SR-2 combos and hexa cores (L5640). Gotta get this PPD thing up.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a decently well tuned headless Linux distro? I am looking to make another i7-2600K boxen tomorrow in a push to get over 100K ppd. If it makes my life easier all the better.

Had to screenshot this: I finally got the Xeon E3-1230 to pull down a -bigadv so that should help output a bit. Now I just need a SR-2 setup.

Just an update since I know a lot of people here look at UP platforms for storage servers. Posted the Intel Xeon E3-1230 benchmarks to compare against the Xeon E3-1220 benchmarks. Super short story: I paid something like $15 more for the Xeon E3-1230 and in most cases it is going to be...

Hi [H], Just wanted to check if what I am seeing seems typical. Running Dual E5606 CPU's with AES-NI turned on in the X8DTH-6F BIOS and am running TrueCrypt benchmark in Windows 7 just to see what I get before installing ESXi. One thing I noticed is that the AES-NI benchmarks seem to be...
