Nice parts list, @Norton

That looks gorgeous! Can't wait to see more.

Got it crunching now

Will let it go for a few days and will start moving programs and files over when I get some more time

I really wish I could clock mine higher, but the temps

Now the wait begins.

Just put my ticket into NZXT for the x61 am4 bracket. Hopefully that comes soon so I can put it all together.

I had to wait for Noctua to send mine- took 9 days

Yeah I just got an auto reply from NZXT; "We are currently experiencing a high volume of requests, and would like to apologize in advance for any delay in responding to your ticket"

I guess I'm gonna be waiting...

Hopefully it comes quick man waiting on my water cooling parts to come on so we are on a similar boat.

So is there a consensus for the best cpu for crunching, ppd/power wise. I'm still hoping to grab a setup eventually and kind of feel like going for a lower cpu like the 1700 or so.

Yeah I just got a reply that as long as they have the bracket in hand they should be able to ship soon. Hopefully they have stock otherwise I'll be waiting

New CPU/mobo/ram should be here early next week.

The consensus is deafening! Well ...., okay .... (IIRC) the last four people on this team who purchased hardware with crunching in mind bought Ryzen. If I were to hazard a guess, it would be the 65 watt Ryzen 1700.

That sounds really good to me, kind of what I was thinking. Wish I could make the jump right now...

Some links to Ryzen stats on the Team:

*We need a 1600 and a 1700X ... anyone running one of those?

Definitely need to consider making a spreadsheet or something similar for checking out Ryzen output for crunching!

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Wow, I missed quite a lot. Lots of epic new hardware added to the team I see!
My points are quite a long way down at the moment since I've been playing a few games on that system.

BTW, if any crunchers in the UK want my original 1800x I've got it up in the for sale section. £300 inc postage.

So one of my Ubuntu rigs is CONSTANTLY dropping it's wireless network connection. I'm just forced to hard reboot it since it's downstairs tucked away in a corner. I might just reformat and reinstall the OS later this week... not sure what the deal with it is.

What do you guys use to remotely manage your rigs? I'm leaning towards teamviewer since it appears to be the easiest to setup.

Got it all put together. Decided to just swap to the h110 instead of waiting for the x61 am4 bracket.

Reinstalling windows right now. Will have everything done in a bit so should be up and running soon.

P4 Cruncher, in Specs, is now on a new kernal, 4.4.0 and is running Boinc 7.6.31. It took a while, had to re familiarize myself w/ linux, after a 3 year hiatus, because my old kernal and Boinc, were out of date, no upgrades available! I am a bit amazed that this old P4 emachine, a T4160, w/ a new P4 @2.8, is running Mint 18 Sarah w/Cinnamon!!

I played with some upgraded distros about 2 years ago and couldn't seem to find one that worked! Now, the latest, almost, greatest, dropped in like they were made for each other!!

Anyways, I tried to apt-build but, something didn't take, so, just apt-get the bunch and away WE GO!!

One more CPU! Now, I need a case, debating with old box to use, and a PS, might use a newish 450w I have in the old Socket A machine. Thinking it may be time to hang that one on the wall. I might use that case for the 6700 build. Then, find a GPU and then, try to figure out how to fold on it inside linux!

Projects, I will get to some of this while on Holiday, next week. Might spend a couple days on the road, then sit down and tinker with all this stuff!
