Hey,
I've got a few questions with regards to 4p setups:
1. Am I right in assuming I've not got enough room on an Supermicro H8QGL-IF motherboard for Noctua G34 120mm cpu heatsinks, but I do have room for 90mm heatsinks? Would I have any similar compatability issues attempting the musky cpu heatsink mod for g34 opteron cpus on this motherboard?
2. Are there very noticable improvements in gpu boinc computing efficiency between opterating systems? I've noticed at least a double efficiency running boinc (milkyway@home) on windows 7 64bit across 4 7950's vs the same hardware on windows 8.1 64bit. Would I see even better improvements when I move to linux for the supermicros?
2.1. Anyone have any tips in increasing RAC for 4*7950's above 200k?
3. Has anyone run into issues running 6 graphics cards on a supermicro H8QGL-IF with powered risers before I attempt it? I'll be using usb riser cables to move the graphics cards above the 48cores.
4. Any tips ahead of building another few 4P builds that I should mainly be aware of? Like ram timings that much of an impact on RAC?
When it comes time to building this behemoth of a boinc machine, i'll post a build log.
In the mean time, here's a quick preview of another system i'm running gridcoin mining/boinc on: http://imgur.com/a/nuYj3/
Cheers
