Would a socket protector not be good enough for your needs? I am sure it would be easier to find a socket protector than a dead CPU.

Picked up a pair of GTX 570's for $190 shipped off of ssnyder28. EDIT: Picked up an i7-860 and EVGA P55 SLI $170 shipped off of wondergod.

TTT I need overclocking capabilities on the board.

Hello, my friend is looking to upgrade his computer. Being college students, we don't have a lot of cash. He got stuck with a crappy Lenovo i3 desktop with integrated graphics. He has trouble with a lot of the games he wants to play. I told him I could build him a decent computer if he gave...

A pair of X5570 3.2Ghz 8C 16T cannot do -bigadv.

Congratulations guys! We made it to the big 1 Billion points this month! FOLD ON!

Gratz jfb9301! Us noobs have to stick together.

Congratulations all!

23 million more points and you will be rolling over me! 3.6 weeks.

500K is one year, 1M is lifetime! You are welcome!

Only if you pay for it. Or steal it...

This could be interesting... :D

Hell yeah! I went 10 months on the 8P without a UPS (or two since it would need two haha). 850W may not be as high as some of these overclocked 6180SE machines, but it still turns the meter!

I love new builds. Bring on the D nathan_P! Oh man, looks like you are a Civilization player. I just launched Civ V a minute ago.

Do you know what the power draw is for this system? The PPD/W for high end laptops may be good.

I would not waste your time with that Folding Forum thread. They kept telling bowlinra to contact the author of langouste, who had responded in thread haha. I am surprised that they don't know tear by now.

It is Four 2P's, as per the brochure. Each 2P has a Gemini communication ASIC module. It is not the same as HT, it uses MPI between the nodes. It is similar to infiniband but proprietary.Cray favors OpenMP in their brochures for clustering: http://openmp.org/wp/

If I am not mistaken, it is 4 x 2P with a proprietary interconnect between them. I have no idea if they function as one 8P or 4 x 2P's. That all depends on what cray did. They also used this on the Cray XK6/XE6. EDIT: Yeah, that is probably an XE6 / XE6m board (or maybe XE7 which is not out...

If you upgrade to 4x 2.4Ghz hexacores, your PPD on smp will go up to about 70K PPD, but more importantly, you will be able to do 8101 bigadv. Your PPD on 8101 with 4 x 2.4Ghz hexacores would be about 123K PPD. I am basing this off of TPF's from my 8P socket F loaded with 8 x 8431 2.4Ghz...

I will look forward to further analysis of this topic. It does seem like a conundrum. Link to article Tear is referencing: http://www.scalalife.eu/content/gpu-only-execution-gromacs Also, direct link to the chart in question: Highlights: Untitledone's Synopsis at this point: If the...

My bad, I did not even look at the core count.

A 4P AMD Opteron 6386 SE ES clocked somewhere between 3.4Ghz to 3.7Ghz? That would be my guess. Probably some overclocked 4P of 16 core Piledrivers of some sorts.

I recommended a 4P as well Scotty, but he as expressed his need for a machine that pulls a moderate amount of power. It seems as if the 200W-300W zone is what he is shooting for. We want him to get his feet wet, but I do not think his budget will allow a full on 4P system. I also do not want to...

It would be nice to get one of these work units captured. Please send it to Tear if you happen to get one! We need to benchmark these units in a controlled environment, and try to see how they scale across different hardware.

BlueMax you may just be in luck! http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1724569 Go forth and fold!

It could possibly lower performance. 4 sticks is enough to max the memory controller. Going to 8 will force the memory controller to switch between dimms if the data is stored across more than 4 dimms per controller. This is theory though. If there is a reduction in performance it would most...

You will have a much harder time hitting your goals if you go retail. A used Asus Z8NA-D6C 2P 1366 can be had for $140 (what I got it for last year). Nathan pointed out the L5640's which are $300-$350 per CPU on ebay. that is about $840 for motherboard + CPU's add in $50 ish for ram $45 for heat...

Which is why I stated that for power consumption like that, the chips would have to be at stock clocks.

If you can get the machine assembled and running with internet access it can be configured remotely by one of our team.

Most of the retail 6180's in a GL board will do 2.8+. There are very few AMD G34 systems out there with ES chips. So I was working on the assumption of no voltage increase.

I did say overclocked, and stated 3Ghz. If you have a 550-650W 48 core machine at 3Ghz I would love you know what magic is in play! I know a 2P at 3Ghz can be in that range. Stock clocks will take much less.

No worries sir! I am just trying to get the most output from the lest money possible. The more output we can get online the more science that can get done! The 4P 2011 is prohibitively expensive for most folders so it does not get recommended. Since for $8000 you could build 3-4 AMD 4P's for...

I feel your pain Nathan! That does sound tasty! If the CPU's could be found cheaply a dual L5640 machine would probably be his best bet in an ASUS Z8NA-D6C. I don't know the pricing as of late, but last year I picked up a Z8NA-D6C for around $140 used.

A heavily overclock Magny-Cours machine running around 3Ghz on 48 cores can pull north of 1000W at the wall :P I think stock clocked systems can hit in the 550W range, but I have not seen non-overclocked 4P's in a while lol.
