Xeon Owners Club

[Aquinus]

@Aquinus i am just doing some test, i know it's a waste but anyway I just want to do some test, after that Motherboard and CPU will be sell, btw I did not find a dual socket board for that CPU, do you know any?

SuperMicro definitely has 2p boards. ASUS and ASRock might have one or two but, beyond that, there aren't a whole lot of options. SuperMicro boards tend to be common enough though. The real question is if you can find one for a reasonable price in your area. This is kind of the reason why I had suggested an E5-2xxx or 1xxx CPU in the other thread you had made about this instead because you get higher clocks at the expense of the QPI links.

Either way, I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

Edit: To correct myself, I think 4xxx E5s have 2 QPI links, in 4p config the Xeons only talk to their closest neighbor.

A lot of dual socket boards I have found but not compatible with the 4620, btw thanks for the advice.

Oh.. crap. Misread the Rampage IV as Rampage V.

I think it's really time to buy glasses

I am not sure why TPU does not appear in team list on profile settings page, but I did this: look for Techpowerup in search box and go to team page. At the top there is a button that should say something like "Join team" or "Switch teams".
Click on it and prepare to burn some chips ))

Not sure if these support that chip, but I know they support the E5-2600 series:

I have the last two and paid about $200 USD or less for each.

I have found a few Supermicro, Intel and Asus but the same as the Boards you already mentioned above they support 2600 series.

Anyone done this with a Xeon? See if the little bugger gets any busier.
i dont have a rig with W 10 and a Xeon in

I did it to test if my 750Ti really suports DX12. It worked ))

Am i right there is no SLI on this card?

Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card (2GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0)

2 of these would be perfect for a build i am completing

i have found a 2 for the price of one offer but they must sli
@silentbogo make your game benchmarks banner bigger, you should show off your work.

 

[silentbogo]

no SLI on those, unfortunately...

I'm trying to figure out a way to ghetto mod a couple of fans on this Supermicro board and coolers:

I'm trying to figure out a way to ghetto mod a couple of fans on this Supermicro board and coolers:

As you can see my server had the same cooler passive that you have.

Solution:

 

[stinger608]

I know I need to get some different coolers @Knoxx29 , however I am trying to get this damn thing going and cooling half way decent this weekend to start crunching with it.

 

[dorsetknob]

Solution:

And how much does your solution Cost ??????????????
Perspex glue and spare fans stinger has lying around total cost < $15 your solution > $ 50 and not very ghetto
Hell as a temp solution use cardboard instead of perspex

however I am trying to get this damn thing going and cooling half way decent this weekend to start crunching with it.

Time for completion 1 hour then crunching

If I do something i do it how it should be done otherwise i don't waste my time.

 

[dorsetknob]

fair enough just consider stinger also posted same problem in the ghetto thread with a high priority for sorting out the problem
I provided a possible solution that was quick temporary and cost effective

 

[stinger608]

Yea I'm pretty much just looking to do a quick solution until I can grab a couple of decent coolers.

Will probably grab a couple of CM hyper 212's. Fairly cheap and pretty good coolers.

 

[stinger608]

Sorry for the double post, but wanted to let @Knoxx29 & @dorsetknob know that I just kind of did a ghetto fan mount on the coolers. Just used a couple of fans off some old Socket A coolers and just screwed them down to the top of the coolers. Dropped the CPU temps down about 15c!!! That should help during crunching.

I'll get a couple of CM Hyper 212's ordered in the next couple of days which should help a ton.

So, now on to figuring out how to cool the IOH/southbridge cooler. That sucker is running at about 110c all the time. Don't think I can mount a fan to it so might have to engineer some kind of a mount on the chassis to hold a good 120mm fan pointed directly at it.

 

[dorsetknob]

Same idea make a duct put it over IOH/southbridge cooler ( attach fan to other end ) power it up cool it down

I actually had a fan adapter for a Dimestech test bench that I was able to make work. Put a high speed Corsair 120mm fan pointed right above the southbridge and now the temp on it is under 70c.
