Crunchers Helping Crunchers

I have some hardware available if anyone on the Team that wants to give it a home in their crunching farm

- EVGA X58 Sli Micro (board only- no i/o shield atm but I might be able to locate it)
- Xeon E5506

Status- this board had an i7-930 in it that fried- status of board was unknown, tried the Xeon E5506 in it (courtesy of @t_ski ) and it booted up- ran it in Linux but only for a couple of hours. I have no idea if anything else is wrong with it or how it will run long term but it's free for you to try and use as a cruncher or folder.

To answer the most important question.... will this board support a hex core Xeon? Probably but not guaranteed- most other EVGA X58 boards do.

Post or PM if interested (US only please- my shipping costs would be too much otherwise)

Norton, I sent you a PM

to me

******,

I have sent all the info to them including the pictures. This was their reply: Good morning Rachel - using all information provided, I am unable to locate this merchandise. However, I will continue to search through 11/18 and update you with my findings. Have a good day.

So, I wanted to give them until tomorrow before requesting the search once again. I will definitely keep you posted.

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

to rachelbradley

here is another image of it is if helps (note the psu in question is missing one of the cables shown in the picture the top left? cable show in that picture is not attached on the unit i shipped)
but I am at the point where I can not wait another week for this to be resolved if the psu is not located by the 18th I will need to file a claim for both the insurance and the money I paid in shipping fees for service not rendered

Man I'd be so pissed and ready to bust some skulls!

@Norton Do you still have that X58 EVGA motherboard? My alienware board has been tweaking out more and more here lately. It has rebooted more than 4 times in the past week and I came in yesterday to see it hard locked.

death of a 9xx chip was not as uncommon as it is today
the imc's where particularly fragile if the VTT/Dram voltage ratio was no configured properly the chip WILL die which is what I suspect happened here board is most likely perfectly fine
@Norton what ram was in it at the time of death ? if it was a >1.6V kit that is likely what killed it

I have the settings it ran at at the time of death and I think it had Gskill ripjaws in it but not 100% sure. Can't remember if they where 1.65 or 1.5v memory sticks. But either way it was running the exact same bios settings as my Evga x58 Sli3 board with a i7 920 is running. That rig has been rock stable from the day I got it. And it has done nothing but crunch 24/7/365 under Linux.

@stevorob contacted me on the board along someone else.. If something changes I'll let you know.

In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for another s1366 board

playin lots of phone tags but seeing as t_ski already got his psu back from RMA Ill see if I can find another home for it ... assuming ups ever finds it

stevorob · Nov 24, 2015

Thanks @Norton for the x58 board.

We're up and running.

finally was able to get the claim process finished now I need to wait 7 to 15 business days for the money I did get the shipping fee back

[Ion] · Nov 25, 2015

So the PSU isn't being returned? They managed to lose it permanently?

If anyone comes across a X58 motherboard for a cruncher in need let me know. I am down to restarting my X58 daily due to hard locks. Already took everything to stock and reduced ram to 1 stick.

Thanks guys

t_ski · Dec 1, 2015

How much are you looking to spend? I don't get around as much as I used to, but I'll look if I can.

stinger608 · Dec 1, 2015

I will also look around for one at a decent price point for ya Brandon.

Wow, and @Norton just gave one of those away. :oops:

Go figure, a week or so after the fact it would start taking a big dump. :banghead:

The offer sat idle for a week too. Still looking for ya B... no luck yet :ohwell:

I know and I seen it after it was spoken for

But atleast he got his going for the team! The 48 core I got going at work is doing well and I will keep rebooting the X58 until I can swing one. X58 boards are through the roof and I dont think it would be justifiable to purchase one just for a i7-920

I know what you mean bro. Frigging insane prices for the age of the technology. I see them going for well over a hundred and there shouldn't be any reason for that.

Pretty much very low budget because as I mentioned, it would seem pointless to purchase a 100$ motherboard for a older 920.

OneMoar · Dec 11, 2015

what I think of this mess with ups /

t_ski · Dec 11, 2015

I think it's just me. Since this arrangement, I've had two other packages that seemed to not make their way to me. One was handed off by UPS to the post office an hour away from here, but that was last Friday and it's still not here. The other was shipped Priority mail from California and was supposed to be here this past Monday - I got a USPS email saying it left Cali, but nothing since.

Bad karma catching up with me I guess

I've had some USPS Priority stuff like that recently- 8 days from New Orleans to my place with very few tracking updates :shadedshu:

EDIT- and those FedEx/UPS smart post deals are horrible... seems to instantly add 3-4 days to any packages shipping time!
