I know that, but any way I bet that beast use a lot of power, for some reason they put 2 x 1400W otherwise they could put just one 1400W or 2 1000W or less

Redundancy. If it's like I suspect, then it can run on either PSU so if one fails it loses nothing. And letting the PSUs run at 40-60% of peak power under load probably helps efficiency.

I'm 99% sure it could run as it is with a single 850W, but add 5 SCSI 15000RPM HDDs in it and *pouf* you added 180W, add a Quadro or a Firepro and *pouf* you added 300W. Maybe it was running with a GPU and they decided to keep it. And let's not forget that over time PSUs lose their initial wattage capacity. Why 2 PSUs? As Ion stated it's for redundancy. So that's why they use 1400W PSUs, whatever you do with the server, it always will have the power needed on a single PSU.

So I have got most of the parts needed to put another rig together.

Case, PSU, drive, RAM (ddr2)... currently, I think the board is dead, as it won't post. I have an old Athlon x2 4200+ in it, so I could use an AM2 board to get that up and running, or if someone has an LGA775 (dd2) board, Q6600s are running for $20 on ebay, and I'd consider doing that if I could get a board.

Let me know if anyone has something lying in their closet.

I know it's against the rules but if any folders or crunchers in the US would like to pay by gift or any other fee-free way ~~I could let my new unused 5930K go for $480. I know used is the way to go these days, but I figured I would offer.~~ Or the 780's could go for $550 gift or standard.

Unfortunately the 5930K sold on Ebay. Taking a major hit on that. The 780s would like a nice home in a folding rig though. Waterblocks included.

A long stretch for this request but I gotta give it a try.

I have an old IDE drive that I believe still works, yet I have no way of finding out due to I no longer have the 12v DC connector for it. I was thinking about hooking it up to my netbook and crunch off of that but I need a IDE > USB connector. Anyone have a spare?

Going to register an EVGA product. First person to give me their affiliate code gets 2 EVGA Bucks. If no one claims it by Tuesday I will register without it. I will edit this post when someone has given me their code. No one claimed it.

I need a new PSU that is 600W or better and either a single 12v rail with 50+ amps or dual 12v rails with 30+ amps each. Anyone have anything that fits the bill?

Oooh, that's very appealing. Seems like a good replacement for the hacked-up 10yr old PSU I have in the dual-X5672 system

That's EXACTLY why I posted it over here. Dual (and more) CPU systems.

Also, if I am not mistaken, that is a Seasonic built power supply!

OneMoar · Oct 30, 2015

so we have a problem
The UPS store apparently sent the package out with NO-LABLE
I tore the manger up one side down the other and he's looking for it should know one way or the other by monday
until then ...
anybody here got a psu for our man t_ski whilst I deal with this disaster ...
worst case I need to file a insurance claim (luckily I put 200.00 worth of insurance on it) and go from there

OneMoar · Oct 31, 2015

https://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/track?track=yes&trackNums=1ZAW66930324842736&loc=en_us
so apparently the guy didn't put a lable on the box before it left the store
what in the fuck
how does that even happen

t_ski · Nov 1, 2015

Probably due to hiring cheap labor that doesn't care what they're doing as long as they're getting paid.

Hopefully it will work out OK. Sounds like your packing may be the answer

they can't miss it brown box blaze-pink duct tape , and a giant frigging corsair logo on the top ...
I should have writen the return-address directly on the box .... I usually do the one time I don't this happens

usually its USPS that screws me over now its UPS as well. fuck this keeps up I am going too become a fedex customer

more pissed that you aren't getting the psu as planned then them losing it .,...
