Just finished my system up and will be writing an article about it including temps and such over at LinuxHardware.org . So what do you think? Anything you'd change? Still have to get my side panel on with the window and dual cold cathodes.

Yea, that really is one hell of a setup :eek: I didnt realize that they had already made Opteron waterblocks. Its a shame how you can't overclock those suckers.

nuclearsnake, is 2000mhz the highest stable speed for your 1700+'s? I cannot reach anything higher with mine, not even 2070mhz :mad:

What stepping are your 1700s ?
 
New Pics of the Dually (probably the last before it's sold to fund a dual Xeon).

JIUHB. Tbred B's.

eighteen, why would you sell that off? I would just wait until opterons get cheaper rather than getting a slight upgrade to xeons from that rig.

I'm selling mobo/cpu/hsf...not the rest. And I have a couple reasons: First, I'm getting a killer deal on this intel board. Second, even though on paper, the 2.0 or 2.4 xeons I'll probably end up getting will be slower than my current setup, a single xeon beats my beast in a lot of graphics apps (thanks to heavy SSE2 optimizations).

Third, the platform has more headroom and Fourth, its a far better resale value towards an opteron later. :)

Ahhh i see, as long as your eventually return to AMD ;) ;) ;)

Btw, are those 1700s DLT3C?

That depends on what Intel has at the time....all else equal, I have had a better track record with my Intel boxes but they always cost a lot more. I have no brand loyalty that will permit me to sacrifice a better system but then again, its hard to beat a stock-speed Intel chipset/mobo/cpu combo for solid reliability. We'll see.

And yes, quite right. :D They may have more in them but the board doesn't (and I don't want to remod them to a higher multipler).

Good case-in-point: These chips cost me $47 each! Thats some serious horsepower for the buck. The deal on the intel board tempted me but damn those xeons are expensive.

My DLT3C chips (1.5V default) do bout 2050 on default voltage and 2300 with 1.75V ... dunno bout DUT3C (1.6V default) cuz i never had one ...

But i have a lil problem - i hit a wall @ 100-120MB/s seq. reads :(

A 4 drive RAID0 should do bout 160MB/s ... looks like my 66MHz/64bit Slot is runnin 33MHz/32bit :eek: Help :(

I'm running 2 duallys right now and am converting all the other rigs I have to dual within the next 4 months.

Is those two yellow comps are the same or ???:confused:

No they are not the same. Both are in identical Chieftec cases but if you look you can see one has a completely painted interior and the other one is stock. The dual 2400 setup also has a mirror mounted in the upper part of the case that you can see in the pic. It also has 2 80mm fans mounted into the top of the case in addition to the 2 80mm ones on the back and 2 80mm in the lower front side. I have not modded the dual 1900 system case yet. When I do it will also have all the same mods done to it.

Those rigs are my servers. I have a home Lan setup that consists of the following:

No offense, but I do not waste energy on any of those folding/seti programs. My systems are for entertainment purposes only. If no one is using it then it is off.

I have taken flak for this on other forums but I see no reason to waste my power. I have nothing against folding and think everyone should have a charitable outreach in their life. I do mine in other ways that are tangible to me.

I help support a summer camp for kids who could never afford it. Between the 9 of us we send 80 kids to camp every year for 2 weeks. I see their faces and their smiles.

The money I would spend on power for folding goes to that cause.
 
This thread is one I started over at OC. The very 1st post is my old setup. My new setup is on page 8 Linkage
