Odd. I run it on 100% and never noticed any decrease in responsiveness on both FX-8120 and FX-8320.

I blame the scheduler. As Win7 is laggy with 'dozers and 'drivers overall. Especially on load.
(I am assuming that computer You speak of is running Win7)

Yeah, it's a Win7 machine. We originally tried 8 on it but QuickBooks Pro 2012 was incompatible to say the least. Intuit sucks. :roll:

I want to do something like that one day. I just need a spot to put it.

TRWOV · May 13, 2013

I was looking for something smaller and in fact I found the perfect shelf for this...but it costs x5 than the cheapo walmart one I got at the end.

I had to cut down the tubes, it would be about 60cms higher if I didn't. It's surprisingly sturdy once loaded.

Clever! I had a wood shelf I used for three of mine--then they took up less space and all got fresh air from the window :toast:

Jstn7477 · May 14, 2013

Those plastic tube shelves really aren't bad. My parents have used them in their offices for well over a decade (not for putting computers on, of course).

Latests addition: 1055t + GA-880GM-USB3. This board is godly, 250 FSB (3.5Ghz) :eek:

That's a real fleet you're starting to have there! :toast:

Quite a lot of power on one shelf!

librin.so.1 · Jun 17, 2013

So, after finally getting a connection in my storage room, my [almost] dedicated cruncher got a case today and moved to a new home!
'tis an old case. Very old. To give a better idea - it's back from the turn of the century, it still has one of those ancient Turbo leds [but no Turbo button LOL] and the computer which was housed in it before I ripped it out today was using an S3 graphics cards with ZOMD! 3D acceleration. :laugh:

I know, I know - I'm cheap. I know that without being told. :ohwell:

That's how it looked after I jammed it into the case:

That's how the case looks from the front:

Right now, it lives like this. Yes, that's mold in the corner. And yes, that's a two-ethernet-cables-in-one hax.
There's an opening to a ventilation shaft right behind it. The PSU is directed to blow straight into it. We made a paper tube from a shoe box direct that hot air directly into the opening. We are going to improve the cooling tomorrow, as it's running a bit hot - 48°C there vs. 40°C when it was completely "naked" on my shelf w/ fans positioned around.

[Ion] · Jun 18, 2013

Creative! It seems that 48c isn't really that hot--but I suppose it is an AMD CPU. This is the FX8120, right?

Yes, it's a FX-8120.
I ripped the front panel off, so now the fan in the front (see the 1st photo) is no longer blocked. With that, I'm down to 44°C

P.S. That computer was generating A LOT of EMI/RFI. Not that it's out of my room, I can again enjoy clean sound on my radio YAY! :toast:

[Ion] · Jun 18, 2013

Definitely a resourceful solution! And yes, computers do put off a good deal of EM radiation--hence why cases are useful

I'm surprised that you've managed to get an OC on a 125w CPU on the stock cooler--not bad!

Nordic · Jun 18, 2013

It must be cold down there. I had a friend who had trouble cooling his 2600k at stock with a hyper 212 evo. The computer was in an old case like that. He eventually cut a 120mm hole in the bottom front and put a fan there. Dropped his temps to what one of us would consider normal.

Did some more minor[1] cooling tweaks after my previous post in this thread and it's down to a stable 42°C

There is still a lot of room for improvement. Especially since I've got virtually unlimited noise budget there AND a sweet-ass ventilation shaft at my disposal :toast:

I should note that despite the chip is overclocked, it is undervoltaged quite a bit. On this voltage, I should be able to get at the very least 100MHz more. But I am too lazy to fetch a graphics card for it again to fiddle with the BIOS. Too bad I can't tweak BIOS setting remotely

[1] cooling tweaks I call "minor" are the ones that can be readily done without bringing the system down.

Nordic · Jun 18, 2013

Oops. I somehow got the idea that was a storage room/basement something or another.

Yes, that does help. I suppose then you can "afford" to put a 8,000 RPM fan on it. I assume you're still liable for power, even in the storage room?

And you run that system without even a video card in it??

1. Don't have a spare PCI-E card
2. extra power draw and heat
3. nothing to connect it to
4. absolutely no use for it other than fiddling with the BIOS

Interesting. I've usually found that with no GPU, many systems refuse to POST.

If you decide you want one, I can help work out something. I have plenty of GPUs floating around (seven G92 cards, a few GT520s, etc)

I set it to halt on "no errors" in the BIOS. Otherwise yes - it would halt on POST. (In all the BIOSes I've seen, the default is to ignore lack of a keyboard but halt on all other errors.)

That would be swell, but I'll have to turn this offer down.
Here we have a PCI-E card shortage so bad, that if I'd get another one it'd be a [very short] matter of time 'til my pops would borrow it for some much more important use than to sit in that box for the sake of accessing BIOS. Which would leave me in the same situation again. :ohwell:

by "Here", do you mean within your household? Or, are talking about Lithuania?

Yeah, I should have been more clear.
Household. Though, "household" extends quite a lot outside the actual household in this case.

Whew! I was dreaming up some sort of global initiative to get Lithuania gaming with a GPU drive funded by the Canadian and Pakistani governments.

Thank God I don't have to do that! :toast:

A terrible picture, but this is what I call my "OEM Farm":

On the left and right are HP DC6200s, each with 2 or 4GB DDR3 RAM and an i3 2100 running W7 Pro. On top of the monitor is another i3-2100 HP DC6200. Behind the monitor is a fourth i3 2100 and a Core 2 Quad-based Xeon X3330 (4 cores, 2.66GHz)

I have another i3 to get running when I have the time. These systems come and go on a regular basis, as they constitute the bulk of my "sales systems" but in the mean time I put them to work.
