We know the specs of darkmatter

How about introducing the new little fella

Grimgoth · 9 Aug 2011 at 12:03

dang, i was thinking of making one of the small ones- its the sapphire AM3 mitx i'm pretty certain,
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-015-SP&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1481

with a phenom II hexcore?
what psu and case are you putting that in?
my current itx is a q9400s with a gts250 in an sg05 with 300W:

wasn't sure the psu would handle the hexcore with the card.

Yes Saphire AM3, no on the CPU

Spec:
CPU: ATHLON II X4 600E 2.2GHZ SKT AM3 L2 2MB 45W PIB - £101
MB: Saphire AM3 AMD AMD785G DDR3 mITX - £94.83
Mem: Corsair Value 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333MHz DIMM 240-pin CL9 - £54.99
Case: Thermaltake Element Q Black with 200W PSU - £47.97
SSD: Corsair Nova Series 2 60GB SSD - £77.98

Total Inc VAT & Del: £376.77

Case and SSD arrived today not sure if I will use the SSD or just an old 160GB SATA I've got lying around

Even with the fan going its totaly quiet. Havent tried folding on it yet

Will do later and get Watts/heat info

Wow! Compact.

I'll be interested to see points/day/watt numbers.

Grimgoth · 9 Aug 2011 at 16:19

hmm. are you going to be putting a graphics card with that? because if the processor is at 45 W, not too different from the Q9400S I have, you'll be able to run on about 100W using a pico psu. Which is going to up your points/day/watt. Especially if you're not putting in an optical drive.

edit: I'm a seti nutter, so the graphics cards always kill the wattage efficiency..., but I did have that quad on a 90W pico psu for a bit, minus the graphics.

:O! A file server with a twist, maybe?

I concur

Your impure thoughts will cause darkmatter to develop technical issues....If your quick enough loading a F@H client on David you may be spared!!

Biffa · 10 Aug 2011 at 16:38

It's called mercury

CPU temps are ambient when idle and 40 degrees when folding smp

Watts are around 68w for the system while folding. CPU around 39w

datalol-jack · 15 Aug 2011 at 13:31

Not going for an undervolt for an fabled 25% tdp improvement, Biffa?

Biffa · 16 Aug 2011 at 23:13

At the moment no :-)

datalol-jack · 16 Aug 2011 at 23:17

At the moment no

;_; But I suppose when Goliath is about, it is no time to start worrying about the leccy.

Biffa · 26 Aug 2011 at 02:37

I don't have to worry about the leccy where Goliath is concerned.

Do you run it at work or maybe from a nearby lamppost?

Modular black hole, maybe?
