Think weebeastie ate itself again, not 100% sure but she won't power up, haven't had a chance to check the 24pin socket but I think it might be toast. Hope it diddn't take the PSU out with it this time, these 1500W PSU's are a tad expensive.

Thinking of going for the Asus RE3 as it at least has the extra molex power sockets for the draw of 4 cards. Not worried about the x16 for what we do in here x8 is more than enough.

Will brave the weather for pics tommorow :(

Hopefully I can get an RMA
 
I just know I'm going to get the runaround, I spoke to Asus who seemed sympathetic but told be to go back to the suppluyer (subtle) :)

They did raise a RMA but think that its going to be an out of warranty repair. :rolleyes: yeah so the same mobo nukes two different PSU 24 pin connectors :p
 
Sucks :( hopefully you've isolated the cause of the problem at least!

I'm back at Uni already :( but this does mean I'm back :D

HFM reporting 18k at the moment, but I've only got one card in. Got £70 burning a hole in my pocket for another though ;)
 
Ah yes but then you need a case to fit the bloomin thing.

ud9.jpg

UD9 - needs 9 slot chassis :(

classified.jpg

Classified-4-way-SLI - needs 9 or 10 slot chassis :(

sr2.jpg

SR-2 :eek: Only fits like 3 cases on the planet :eek:

rampageIII.jpg

Rampage III Extreme: nice one, yes the lanes run 8bit if fully populated but not a big deal for folding/crunching. At least I have a chance to fit it in my case :)
 
AM3 :eek: and only 3 double space pcie slots :(

AMD is no good for bigadv unless you do dual 6 core opteron :)
 
Well I got the Asus Rampage III Extreme up and running - Seti running nice - at stock but nice.

Gonna modify the PSU running it tho' - just a little noisy when trying to sleep (not a lot, just a tad :D).

Have RMA'd the PSU powering my other rig (t'is less than 4 days old). Decided to return the Silverstone 850w in favour of the Bequiet 1000w. Don't get me wrong - the Silverstone ran the rig ok - not too good when the 470's were in - but ok with the 460's. So, it's out with the Silverstone and in with the Bequiet (tomorrow) - will also allow me to add another 460 when funds permit :D
 
Not sure what I should do, the P6T7 is off for RMA, and I dont wanna fork up for a R3E if I can get it as an RMA alternative.

I cant really see you sitting on your hand waiting for an rma, do you not know anyone who will loan you a board for a few weeks? :(
 
Thats average bigadv makes it more variable than that on a daily basis. Its more like 30K for two days and then 100K for one :)
