No its offline because it was overheating I think, well the alarm was going off on the motherboard, and I need to troubleshoot it, however I had to go to Dubai so turned it off.

I suspect the pump needs replacing.

So Nostromo is off for maintenance, Weebeastie is off as I am am switching to SB-E platform and waiting for the cpu to come from Germany.

was it the pump?

Yes, a leaky XSPC Pump Res

Sorted now.

Also sold Darkmatter to some mad Aussie and the 6166HE CPU's on the bay. So now I can afford to buy 4 more Intel's

Now if I could stop myself from buying mining GPU's I'd be well on the way to building a new rig.

Luckily I still have some stuff to sell still.

The mobos aren't stupidly expensive when to take into account what they have to support. Plus you can get some bargains of you are patient.

Now what we need is some more dedicated nutters in the team to buy these rigs we keep selling so we can keep the points in the team rather than losing them to other teams :eek:

The new EP-2600 V2's (upto 48 Hyperthread cores - 24 each) look to be quite good for a two CPU set-up.....thoughts?

EP-2600 V2, yes if you can find one at all, or if so for less than remortgage price, let alone a ES one! :eek:

I think the 2695 looks like a good bet with 12 cores and a 2.4Ghz base speed, probably will boost to 3.1 maybe.

Hi, I found some FAH benchmark results for Xeon E5-2600 v2. I think it's not bad at all:

Code:

P8101: avg TPF=13m40s, PPD=344k P8102: avg TPF=10m38s, PPD=501k P8105: avg TPF=10m44s, PPD=482k

CPU is Xeon E5-2600 v2 2.0GHz 12c24t x2 (allcore turbo 2.4GHz), with SM X9DAi board and 4G DDR3 1333 memory x8.

Yes took longer than the weekend unfortunately, plus I had to buy the RAM from 4 different suppliers including Amazon :confused:

but at least I had free delivery from each one. Still waiting for the letter from UK customs to pay the bill before the CPU's will be delivered.

3.1 Turbo on all cores.

Thanks, I think its something that all of us have to come to terms with. Unfortunately I have one of those digital thingamywotsits that tells me at a glance how much my monthly bill is going to be :eek:
