    Xeon E5-2603v2 on X99

    ALXAndy - that was very helpful, thank you. I have been researching the most cost effective ways to build a 3 or 4 way NV folding rig at the lower cost model. Building a full on X99 system is way over the top for just gpu folding and from experience, CPU folding isn't worth the money / elecy...

    Xeon E5-2603v2 on X99

    Thanks yes I had already done that, and yes, it does suggest 40 lanes, otherwise I would not have known about the 40 lanes. I was asking if anyone had actually tried it. Maybe to be fair, I should have posted in the motherboards forum. Mods, feel free to move to MD forum.

    Xeon E5-2603v2 on X99

    Hi, I was wondering if I could run a 'low end' Xeon E5-2603 / 2609 cpu in a X99 motherboard and still be able to use all 40 PCI-e lanes? I want to run 3 or 4 gpu's at a minimum x8 mode. Not interested in over clocking the cpu at all, this is only for gpu functions (F@H) to be exact...

    Can anybody help?!! (Draytek Vigor 120, ASUS RT-N56U + Be Broadband related

    Hi, I have recently purchased a Asus 56 router to work with my Draytek 120 modem, after spending some 3 hours last night, I still cannot get the Internet working. I am stuck on the wan section when configuring a static ip address. I put my 195.x.x.x ip in, with the 255.255.255.252 subnet mask...

    Project: Excess

    NathWraith, for mounting the Mega's did you replace the backplate and use the additional backplates that are shipped extra in the box. Also, how easy was it to mount the board with the extra MB supports (re: plastic supports). Lastly, if you dont mind me asking. Is there any difference between...

    EVGA CLASSIFIED SR-2

    rjkoneill, thanks for the link, I have also spoken to the owner of this system, WOW, awesome. Back to HS question. I dont think Mega's will work as the Length is 144m where as the Mega's are 130mm, looking at the build log pics, those mega's dont look like they have 22mm between them. I know...

    EVGA CLASSIFIED SR-2

    rjkoneill - slightly off topic, but do you know if I could use Pro-Armageddons on this board. I need to buy 2x high end air coolers, but I struggle with finding the right ones. Oh and yes I also have Corsair GT's. WC will come later. Thanks. Colin.

    EVGA CLASSIFIED SR-2

    twoblacklines - if by 5000 series you mean 5500 or 5600 then yes. The key thing with the SR-2 is having decent components that compliment each other and getting the memory dividers and BCLK's right. The link provided shows top end kit, but you could use say 1600 memory rather than 2000. I...

    Aesthetics - Coolermaster HAF X or Lian li pc p80

    Just a note about the PC-P80. These have gone on backorder status and has not been updated on the Lian-Li 2010 catalogue, so possibly this will be discontinued? I bought one today from somewhere as OCUK have now removed this from their Lian-Li section. As I stated in another thread, I needed...

    NEW 2010 LIAN LI CASES - PRE ORDER NOW

    OMG - Look at these prices. I have been stumbling on spending over £200 on the Lian-Li PC-P80, as I want to run quad gfx, the PC-P80 has the 10 slots to cater for this setup. I was hoping they would have updated this model, but looking at these latest cases, forget it. I am just going to try...

    One thing we can gather from large price tag on ATI 5870

    LOL - I recalled paying £484 from this place for the latest and greatest X1900XTX edition, only to be replaced or demoted by the 29xx series within 3 months. sure I understand upgrades happen, but oh boy was I mad. This was enough to put me off from spending huge money on the best from day one...

    4-Way SLI anyone?

    I am sure that the 4 way Sli has two x NF200 chipsets providing more PCI-e lanes. I hopped onto the EVGA support site to check this out, but they only have a quick user manual saying to check the installation manual if you are installing 4x sli configuration. Also noting that yes, if it does...

    4-Way SLI anyone?

    LOL - It's not about the gamers out there. There is much more to do with GPU's than games, aka GPGPU. Sure if you play games probably 2 or 3 highend cards will blow away anything that can be thrown at them, however, if you think about DC that can really use the power of 4x cards, then you can...

    GTX 285 classified (and 4 way SLI)

    Did anyone notice the requirement of "3 PCIe 6 pin power connectors". taken from the http://www.evga.com/articles/00501/ specs page. -casw1000 fold4life.com

    4-Way SLI anyone?

    I would have one for folding. But I would rather install GTX295's. Not sure why this would *need* to have 285GTX Classified's though. I agree on the gaming front, but seeing as I dont game on my PC, it doesn't matter, I just fold. Maybe this will be THE most expensive board to grace the UK...

    ASROCK Prepare their first X58 Board

    Anyone seen any UK prices yet? a popular US website is showing $300 for this board, so I am taking a guess that this will be around £250, which given the number of pci-e x16 slots for double spacing. However I am considering the Asus P6T6WS with six slots. If anyone hears of the UK typical...

    Corsair SSD - Why bother?

    I am sure I am not the only person thinking this, but why oh why have Corsair decided to 'join' the SSD market with a first / second gen rebadged device. First off it clearly looks just like a Samsung drive with a Corsair label covering the nice brushed Alu surface. Second the drive specs are...
