Thanks for that info. It makes me feel a little better.

I'm still a little fuzzy on the whole unregistered, unbuffered thing. So I went by the list of supported memory. Of course that's never up to date or complete. I also had in mind that I'm using a low end m/b - only 6 slots total - and I couldn't really expect that any fack would be cut or any slucks would be given.

Technically, what I bought isn't even in the list, but the model number is so close I figured, fine, shoot me if I'm wrong - which I may well do myself before this project is over. I'm kidding of course but I still screw things up doing a simple desktop build and this will be my first server. So I'm trying, hoping to leave as little to chance as possible. Plus, I had a cheaper set in my basket and I my sweaty finger was poised over the enter key when I noticed that the egg was trying to sucker me into buying just one set. Apparently during the 5 minutes it took me to get around to checking out someone jacked the other set(s). WTFFFFF? Which, you know, is like . . . bullshit. I mean who actually buys a 1P server - right? Am I right?

Anyway, it's done. The money is gone. With luck, the parts are in the . . .

You're welcome.

That's the thing with server parts, some of it can be quite hazy and with little information on the internet. My personal problem with Amazon and eBay is that many CPU's even use the wrong pictures leaving you even more confused as to wether two items are compatible or not.

Sucks to get an item sniped when you're about to buy it lol. Either case you can get some awesome deals states side compared to us europeans. But hey, you got something totally new to build and experiment with so that'll provide a few hours of entertainment. :toast:

I can't Wait to see that thing start coming together. Never built a server myself so I'm excited for him. :laugh:

CEP2? That could be tricky. They have high requirements for internet use and PC power. I think majority of our team should be ok, but people will also need to know how to remove the limit on WU given per day.

System Requirements: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq

To enable more WU you need to login to WCG site.. then Device Manager -> Device Profiles and here you need to select the option in the attached image.

mstenholm · Feb 1, 2012

Make a custom profile...and voila. Thx.

Mydog · Feb 1, 2012

I just changed the default profile but when I think about it a little my lappy might struggle with that project.

mstenholm · Feb 1, 2012

^^I have SSD in my lappy so I can't hear how much it suffers

but my daily PC has a HD and it works hard to times. The reason for the limitted amount of CEP2 WUs were memory usage so you need to check if it frezze from time to time if you run 100 % CEP2. Mydog - make use that you change the profile that you are using. I use "home" for some reason. Forgot why.

Chicken Patty · Feb 1, 2012

I'll make sure I change the limit as well. Thanks Dan.

tuseday will be my big day (I HOPE).

I will be getting in my 550BE and K9A2 Platinum board monday so tuseday I will take it to work and swap motherboards with my cruncher at work.

Hoping the 550BE unlocks to a quad!

Just got a i73930k,P9X79 PRO. Will work on it this weekend. Haven't built a rig in months and was getting that feeling we all get. :laugh:

Was also a gift to myself for stop smoking for the second time and cutting down on the beer. The casino is one thing I should stop but they keep giving me money.

PM me if you need a 1055t and a MA790FXT-UD5P.

Crunch on and crunch harder. :rockout:

Edit: The 1055t is going to stinger608. Think I will keep the Board for a backup.

Remembering your past posts about casino trips, I'd say that's a good thing to keep doing :laugh:

Congrats on quitting smoking, that's always difficult. :toast:

Now... pics!

I could sure use that 1055T in my cruncher at home. I would put it to crunching 24/7 100% for u

twilyth · Feb 4, 2012

I got all of the parts today but I don't seem to have an extra case. I do have a couple of really cheesy HTPC cases that are in parts all over the house, so I guess I'm going to have to use one of those.

UPS had said Monday for my parts which were coming from TN but USPS said the chips were coming from FL and would be here today. I should have figured something was wrong if USPS was going to ship their package further and in less time than UPS. Oh well. I'll try to get psyched up tonight and maybe get to work on it tomorrow.

First I need to get the Tivo set up. The cable co's DVRs are ancient and you can't pause anything without it starting back up after about an hour. That was driving batty, well, batty-er. Not to mention the fact that it only holds about 20 hrs of HD programming. I recorded an amazing documentary on the Smithsonian channel that was 2.5hrs all by itself. If you want to save something like that, it reduces your space by more than 10%. Screw that.

But the Tivo is an old model and requires something called a tuning adapter. So I want to get that done first. It looks pretty simple though. I just don't have a lot of rack space left.

yep that is what it is going to be doing is crunching full time!

A huge thanks, again, goes out to Mike for being so frigging awesome!!!! :rockout:

yea 6 cores would help the team out alot! All I would need is the bare chip itself.

I used to be at the casinos at least twice a month, but I've cut them out just about entirely now. Obviously they were not treating me as well as you :laugh:

If you do get around to selling the motherboard down the road, drop me a PM. I've got an AII X3 I would like to attempt to unlock and have running for a little bit.

Mydog · Feb 4, 2012

I belive I had a close call during the night :eek:

Left a window in the cruncher room with a slightly to big opening, during the knight the temps dropped to -20C :twitch:

. Roomtemp was 8C when I got up this morning and the two SR-2's had watertemps of 3,6C and 7,8C, luckily no leaks.
