Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

My rig :

Evga W555 SR-2 mobo
for starting 2x X5550 (later on X5680 cpu's)
Corsair dominator GT 2000Mhz cl8 12Gb (later on 48Gb)
Ocz Revodrive PciE ssd
Thermaltake Level 10 casemod
Cooling : modded Coolit Boreas Chiller, Freezone Elite and Freezone v1
Koolance Full cover mobo block
2x Koolance 260 blocks
Thermaltake Dual Bay psu 650w for the Hybrid cooling
Corsair HX1000w modded

This is my casemod i am working on now.
Just finishing up the case
 
I will have to post more cleaned up photo's of my rig soon and pics of the changes that I have made. But here is one to get by for now.

I'm sorry, I realize it's not a dually rig, and it ain't complete - yet.
 
Need to rotate the heatsinks so that the fans face all the same way. Hope you have some 6-core chips in that as something old like say 8347s are going to be slooow. Should get the M4985 riser board too. :p

Thank you for your input!
I thought about getting the riser board, but it was way to expensive (I got this from work for one awesome deal).

Would aligning the HSF in the same direction cause the "rear" HSF to be hotter? I did it this way because I was thinking about using some of the Ultra Kaze 3000s I have (make less noise then these 60mm doofbusters, anyways :p) to create a "channel" of cool air to feed the Optys?

Or is my thinking way off from reality? :p

EDIT: this board can do SLI :eek: Even comes with a PCB, two slot, bridge!!
 
It really won't affect the temperature of the rear processors too much. That's how it is set up in Tyan's barebone anyway. The boards are surprisingly cheap now if you didn't know. Newegg has the original version for $200.
 
So these are some dual rigs:

(But I don't have money and space for a rack)

This is the HP DL-385 G1
(Dual Opteron 265)

And this is my "Mainfailer" :D:
img_9698x62m.jpg

Equipped with 2 Opteron 280 and 6Gb RAM
Controller: 3ware 8600-12

(Total Storage under 10TB so i'm not allowed to post it in the storage thread)
 
Thought you guys would like to see my Asus KGPE-D16, only one processor at the moment though...

My most recent acquisition. Asus L1N64-SLI WS

Took me about 10 minutes for this:2 x Opteron 8218 2600Mhz @ 3135.55 A bit more tweaking and I imagine she'll do better.

It's a really fun board with a TON of overclocking options in BIOS. I have not seen more than a few threads about this board running Opterons on the web and none with any decent benchmarking/overclocking pics so I hope you guys enjoy my first post here @ hardforum.

Here's some images of her set up for benching.

I have some pics of my K9ND dual Opteron quad-core 8354 and K8N-DRE set-ups somewhere. When I dig 'em I'll share them too.

Dual 479. There are 2 fans in the system, but they throttle down a ton and aren't probably necessary. I'm still waiting on the memory and IPMI card to show up though. Here is a pic from the other side with the heatsinks on and the riser out:

May I ask where you pick that up? That would make a cool little box, it has 3 ethernet ports as well if I'm not mistaken.

Bought it new off eBay actually. I quite like it due to the lower power usage. Interested in one? It only has 2 ethernet ports though, but you can always add more through either the PCI-X or PCIe riser.

Oh I saw the mobo on Geeks.com with 1 100Mbit Intel and 2 1Gbit Intel ethernet ports. Yea, they look really cool. I'd love to make it into a PfSense box or something, it'd certainly be quieter than what I currently have running there.

I have the Supermicro one (this specifically). Prefer it over the Tyan one, but I guess both will get the job done. Mine is more aimed at 1U servers since I can use either PCI-X or PCIe (has a proprietary riser for both). I wouldn't pay $100 for just the board though.
 
My tiny little silent workstation :D
Testing some ducted cooling at the moment...

Definately not as cool as everyone's rigs but I thought I'd share what I just picked up tonight for a literal steal!

It's currently got a single X5570 and only 2 GB of DDR3 RAM but I've got some plans for it. I also managed to snag a quad port Silicom PCIe quad port NIC. Not a bad way to spend $500 :) It did take ESXi quite a while to boot from USB and have the keyboard work but it's humming along now. Gotta figure out what my best RAM options are going to be for the next while

Got myself another dual processor system. This one is a bit different from the usual stuff you see around here. Being able to use 15w processors is pretty neat:

what is the actual unit make and model ? Got a price ?
 
For whoever said those plastic brackets were for something else :poke: :poke:



They DO convert 1207F mounts to a normal AM2/AM3 bracket. That's 4 AM3 CPU HSF right there... :p

Yep, any of the 3.5" mount 1207 boards can use those heatsinks. I did that with my quad 1207 system back in 2008. Not possible on 4.1" mount 1207 boards though (there are 2 different heatsink sizes if you didn't know).

oh my :(

I've been outclassed :p


But I'm happy :)

Does G34 use the same mounts?
 
C32 is 3.5"
G34 is 4.1"

Noctua does have a cooler coming out for G34 and C32 though: Noctua Not sure when it will be available though, I want two for my system.

I think 10e (on [H] :)) already has the 92mm version for his quad G34 opty setup (48 cores of raw power appeal :eek:)

stop looking at my porn pic:D as Ive used 1.3gb of bandwidth and had 4893 views from Nov/DEC from hard forum.
 
File/Media/Web Server

SuperMicro X7DWA-N
2 x Xeon X5470 @ 3.66GHz
16GB FB-Dimm 800MHz
8 x Samsung F3EG 2TB RAID6

Water cooling:
Quad Radiator
Double Radiator
MCP 655 Pump
2 x Swiftech Apogee Water blocks

Stays at a cool 45C when running 100% load for hours.

Pictures are kind of old, since they were taken the RAM was upgraded to 16GB.
