Yes I've also looked into that getting 4 x 6172 from USA via bay. Motherboards are hard to find though and steep :eek: Also struggling to find a suitable case for mobo to go in. Then there is the issue of what o/s to use for a 48-core monster. (or 64-core if you get the newer 16-core Opterons)

Have chipped in a little gift ;)

AI Suite II 1.02.11 here and my VCORE temp reading sits just below motherboard reading. Strange as yours seems to be missing loads more readings compared to mine.

Its on the Asus Suite - under Monitor then Sensor

I just added the Charity Engine to my existing Boinc manager and all seems to run fine - including Seti. I am using Boinc 7.0.27

Having a clearout and found 4 x Opteron 8216 cpus in a box. They are the dual core ones and should run at 2.4Ghz (socket F)

Well our work servers are on 24/7 and doing pretty much nothing from late evening till about 8am Mon-Fri so they could be used.

Well the Malaria WU's said 75mins to complete actually only took 15 :cool: Gonna try o/c that rig over weekend so be interesting to see how much faster it can crunch.

Well I've signed up one of my home rigs. Its downloaded a load of MalariaControl work which it is crunching through now so we'll see how it goes.

Mobo was around £650 mark PSU another £200 Ram was £21 per 2Gb (would need 16 x 2Gb) so further £336 So £1186 without an o/s or case.

Thanks Biffa - have sent you an email to your hotmail account.

Well the cpu's have arrived from the seller in USA :) (no thanks to FedEx!) Been looking at this and it's gonna cost me at least further £1200 to get rig up and running - that's despite an IT mate of mine in London who can get the mobo and ram at cost for me - so getting cold feet on the...

Well I've got hold of 4 x Opteron 6166 HE processors - yes they only run at 1.8Ghz each but they are 12-core and have TDP of just 65w. Looking for suggestions on mobo, cpu coolers, ram and psu Probably going to get the Lian Li PC-90B case

Got 3 of my works rigs currently crunching Rosetta for 7hrs a night which equates to 72-cores :D

Thanks Biffa - so I could buy just 1 cpu and then add others on later - interesting. What I have realised is that for a 4-cpu setup I would need Server 2008 as Win7 has a 2-cpu limit. Also on memory, Win7 Pro supports (I think) up to 192Gb ram but Server 2008 only 32Gb before you have to...

Snap - Been looking at building a "special" rig based around the 16-core AMD processors (i.e 64-core monster).

Worked on a company laptop upgrade so have some spare parts if anyone interested? 1) 1Gb PC3-10600 SoDimm 2) Hitachi 320Gb 2.5" hard drive - it is the 3Gb/s model (Z7K320-320) - going to do a wipe on it - note: might have some bad sectors, not sure, but we replaced it with an SSD. Anyone...

Got 2 nice rigs at work now set to run early hours of the morning (for 7 hrs) - both rigs have dual Xeons so with HT that's 24-cores x 2 which should help us along for a while :D

It is an unmanaged switch so thanks for your reply :) All 3 switches are the same make & model.
