Crunchers Helping Crunchers

Ok, so I have a Supermicro H8QGi+-F G34 4P motherboard with 4 x Opteron 6166HE's that I have had sitting around, just waiting for me to get it setup. I am in need of a PSU for it, but I am curious as to the power requirements that I will need getting this setup for WCG. I was thinking about getting a EVGA or Corsair 850-1000W. I've heard from many that 850W is plenty enough power for a 4P rig with 6166HE's. My Supermicro H8QGi+-F is the version with one PCIe slot and 2 x 8-pin connectors, and my understanding is that this version of the board does not require as much power as the 3 x 8-pin version. Oh, also.. This board will be using a custom BIOS (OCNG5) which allows for a 15-20% OC on the 6166HE, with a proper cooling solution. I have 4 x CM Hyper 212 EVO's (musky mod).

Anywho.. if anyone has any advice, pointers, tip & tricks, etc, please do tell! :peace:

I have the same board with 6168's- power draw is about 500w. A psu rated at least 750w should run fine- anything smaller may run too hot for the continuous load.

Do you have the [H] bios mod on it to allow for overclocking?

Yeah.. The custom bios is OCNG5 already installed on it from tear at the [H] forums and Area 51 Dev.

And good to hear about the PSU. I'll eventually grab one when I'm able.. really want to get this up and running! lol

I use a Seasonic X1050 on mine and it runs cool. Crunching output is around 25k ppd :cool:

Got a combo up in the FS section:

Thanks mate, that's perfect. YGPM

@XZero450 Looks like your old card is coming to blighty! Cheers for donating it in the challenge

Looking at a CPU upgrade any crunchers interested in my i5 4460? Let me know

Wondering;
What is a decent case that will accept dual radiators that isn't too dang expensive?

Rosewill Rise can do 280 and a 360 for $65

stinger608 · Jun 5, 2017

That sure might be an option, however that price is only on Newegg and they have gotten terrible about shipping. Amazon price is almost a hundred bucks.

Didn't the Define series take multiple radiators?

$64.99 direct from Amazon and w/free shipping (check the list)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KW1GNUS/?tag=tec06d-20

Define barely supports a single rad- Thermaltake is the one to check for multiple rads

jboydgolfer · Jun 5, 2017

Enthoo proM will take up to around 300mm front 360mm top(iirc), 140/120mm back

@$80 & up

I have two of these Rise Chassis. They are pretty awesome for the price.

I just got a third system up and crunching. It's a Ryzen 1700X with a pair of 8GB RX480 Gigabyte GPUs in it.
It's running 16 jobs at a time and it seems to be finishing them as fast as my i7-6850K is doing.
I like it.

Okay, I'm frigging lost here: How do you include an image from your local hard drive in PM's? There isn't a "Upload a File" on the PM's?

thebluebumblebee · Jun 7, 2017

Just use TPU's image hosting.
