Juice for Supermicro 4P Overclock

First off I want to say hello to everyone - this is my first post here. I've been a follower and forum lurker for years, and have found a wealth of information here.

The reason for my post is I'm working on my first 4P folding rig and I heard one of your members developed an overclocking bios and linux utility for the Supermicro boards collectively called "juice." I have searched high and low on the forum and can't find any reference to it, but oddly enough it's being discussed by people at the overclockers.com forums. Apparently it includes a custom bios, flashing the ram, and a linux utility, and best of all does *not* require ES chips, as the other overclocking method that creates custom P states does.

Can anyone here point me in the right direction to gather more information about this or perhaps put me in touch with the developer?

Cheers - Colossal
 
Without actually knowing anything I would suggest hanging out on the IRC channel. Those sorts of things are generally talked about there. Just search this forum for the IRC info. Also have you considered folding for the [H]orde?
 
Whenever this comes up people a told to hop in IRC from those in the know. It is A LOT of work from my understanding so I'm not sure they would take the time to walk a non [H]ord member through all of it but maybe they can get you pointed in the right direction. Or maybe they are super nice guys and will help you out anyways, i dunno, I'm just speculating.

From what has been said, the info is mainly passed on through the irc channel. A guide was mentioned but not implemented as the overclocking process is not easy and runs the risk of bricking the board - not a cheap thing to have happen
 
I would advise you to hold off for a couple weeks on this. We are testing out a few things that may make this easier to do and more robust. As mentioned, IRC is the place for information - I am probably the primary contact there for this.
 
Thanks for the reponses thus far. I heard this was mostly discussed in the IRC chat, but when I searched for IRC info here I saw many posts saying that there are several unoffocial channels, none of them being operated by members here - so that sounded discouraging. I'll take another look and see if I can find the correct place. I'm no stranger to taking risks with expensive equipment, and I'm more than happy to contribute to the folding team here in exchange for some help with this hobby :)
