Well, nothing worked. I tried to have windows search for the drivers in the subdir with all of the downloaded and extracted drivers and nothing. I was able to install the chipset drivers but when I go into devices, the 2 ethernet ports and usb3 ports are all listed as not operational. I guess I'm going to have call supermicro tomorrow. Since this was an open box board, I'm wondering if they gave me the right one. The only thing resembling a manual was the quick setup sheet which is for the X10DAL but if none of the drivers I got from the site are working, then IDK.

edit: From reading the manual (don't you hate when you have to do that?) it seems that there is an installation program so I'm guessing that some of the drivers can't be installed with an inf file. Will try that later tonight or maybe tomorrow.

Any chance you have a USB to Ethernet or a USB wireless adapter around? Either one of those should allow you get the rig online in order to get the drivers you need...

I'm sure I have one someplace. I'll try to find it worse comes to worse.

Good new though is that cpu temps seem to be in the low 30's at idle. The rads are barely warm. So I'm hoping that at 100% they won't go above the 70's.

I finally got the ethernet ports working after a second call to Supermicro. Turns out that there is an installation cd/dvd but it's taking forever to download. Another 4 hours at least. Seems dls are capped at around 200k.

Anyway, boinc is now running with 56 threads. I expect the first results to be returned in about an hour. Core temps seem to be running between 59 and 64C. That's with a small clip-on fan pointing at the rads and m/b. W/o that they were between 61 and 66C and I'm sure they would have gotten worse as the room heats up. That room has the new rig and a dual hex.

Btw, since I have officially retired the SR2 that will be available for a prize in the next giveaway along with the chips and (noisy) coolers.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jul 14, 2015

Thats excellent news with the Supermicro, i would love to see a pic of task manager if your running Windows.

What CPUs did you run on the SR-2?

Can't wait to see what that kind of output you get from that setup! :pimp:

AND

Super awesome of you to offer up an SR2 setup as a giveaway item! :eek:

I have to fix the screen resolution before I can do that. First I want to hook up the USB/ethernet adapter, even though I don't really need it. Then I need to hook up the kb/mouse desk set. I might do that later tonight.

The SR2 has 2 engineering sample chips one of which runs hot. I think they're E5-5645's but I would have to check. They might be 5660's. I can't remember. But I want to give these away with the SR2 board and coolers.

twilyth · Jul 14, 2015

OK. Here is the view from Task Manager. I had to crop it because I had to use the onscreen keyboard.

@twilyth
that is superb, thankyou.

I find myself getting strangely aroused......... :eek:

(which is why i asked to see it)

Honestly, i have been known to pm people and ask them for a pic.

This is very preliminary but based on 5 validated results so far, it looks like it should give me a little over 22pts per ~~core~~ thread per hour. That works out to almost 30k ppd.

stinger608 · Jul 15, 2015

That is an amazing screenshot @twilyth :respect:

And even more amazing to offer up the SR-2, chips, and coolers for a challenge prize!!!!!!! :respect:

Then I'm offended since I never received my pm :mad:

Wow, that's impressive :respect:

Do you know how much power you are using with it?

theonedub · Jul 15, 2015

@twilyth- mad jelly :laugh:

That's awesome.

Still looking for that AM3 heatpipe cooler. If anyone has one, drop me a PM :toast:

Good question...

Crazy power draw always reminds me of this

I'm not sure. TDP on the production version (E5-2695v3) is listed at 120w. So my guess is that I'm somewhere around 250w.

You mean 250W each processor.

That SR-2 system will be an aweosome prize @twilyth :respect:

According to Intel, it's 120w per chip

That's much better than my E5-2687W (v1) which is 150w per chip with "only" 32 threads.

edit: the 2687w though is about 800mhz faster on base frequeny.

What I mean is how much power it uses in full load.

thebluebumblebee · Jul 15, 2015

@twilyth , you might be able to check one out from your local library, especially if they have a logging unit like this.

twilyth · Jul 15, 2015

I have at least 2 meters that I can think of off hand and I almost never use either. For my other rigs, TDP has always been a reliable indicator. For exampe the 2687w is rated at 300w total and it only draws slightly more than that. Plus I don't seem to get reliable reading when I plug it into a UPS. I don't know why.

I'll try to remember to plug one of the meters in next time I have to reboot.

Thanks. I did understand. What I meant was that in the past I've tested most of my rigs at full load with a meter and the result was very close to the TDP.

Please, I am really concerned about power consumption.
