Power just came back on, crunchers are powered up.

More snow expected in the next 24 hours. So I imagine the power won't be back for long.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Mar 22, 2012, 03:17 AM

Stay safe Radical_Edward. Snow can be a bitch when power goes out.

Radical_Edward · Mar 22, 2012, 03:19 AM

We have a fatty backup generator. We are set. Computers just don't get hooked up to it is all.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Mar 22, 2012, 03:28 AM

Cool man.

Mar 22, 2012, 03:48 AM

Thinking about a 3930 cruncher to replace the i7-950. It's in the same room with the server and it's already getting steamy in there. The vents are shut off but the a/c is on.

However I'd really like to get another dual hex core server. I got a good deal on the first set of chips - $600 for the pair - and I can't seem to find anything even close. I would probably only get the 3930 to maybe 4.2ghz but 2 2.4ghz xeons would do more work and probably pull less juice.

I guess I keep checking ebay. But if anyone hears of a good deal, I'd be interested.

Mar 22, 2012, 05:46 AM

Looks like I got another set of chips.

Should I go for the 5200 chipset or the 5000?

Wish I knew more about those types of setups so I could give you some advice. I'm sure some of the other member's who have had that high end hardware will chime in tomorrow.

Mar 22, 2012, 07:21 AM

I'm just waiting for paypal to open so I can get access to my own fucking money to pay for the chips. They are pissing me off big time. Only 3.5 hours to go. Need more coffee and a shot of Bailey's. Thanks anyway though.

Sooo . . . no advice? Come on pee-poo's . . . where's the love?

No pics. I just need to know will I get better performance from a m/b with a 5200 chipset than a 5000 for 2 hex core xeons? The Asus board I have now has a 5000 chipset and doesn't seem to perform as well as the boards some of the other guys have. Thanks.

I'm looking at this board - ASUS Z8PE-D12(ASMB4-IKVM) Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5520...

edit: sorry its 5520 northbridge vs 5500 northbridge

I have this board currently with 2 2.4ghz hex xeons - ASUS Z8NA-D6C Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5500 ATX Dual In...

+1 to this- sorry twilyth your questions are way above what I know about this subject

Radical_Edward · Mar 22, 2012, 10:25 PM

Not sure what but something is messed up with my main rig. I think my windows install is corrupted, it's time for a new install anyways, so that machine will be down tonight.

That sucks- hope you get it back up and running soon.... (Norton goes to bookshelf for system backup drive

)

Radical_Edward · Mar 22, 2012, 10:29 PM

I have everything backed up thankfully. I always have a full backup of my system that's at worse 6 days old.

Don't think so. The CPU's will not perform any different than they currently do. SR2 is the only board you can see an improvement, due to the facility to OC. IMHO don't spend cash on new MB if yours doesn't have any problems.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't read your earlier post, just saw that now. If you are going new motherboard for a new set of CPU's then go 5500 if it's just for some resale value later on. But won't make performance difference.

So far as I can tell, it's just PCI-e lanes supported that is the big difference between the two:

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure out the difference. Both use DDR3-1333 and have same qpi rates. {shrug}

Thanks.

How so? In what terms?

I have one word for you (more like 2 letters and a number)........SR-2

Ended up starting the reinstall on my main rig after all, I've been meaning to do it anyways. Using the P4 for my web browsing at the moment. Jeez, this thing slow compared to my main rig.

I don't know how you can handle that!!!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Mar 23, 2012, 02:25 AM

I'm trying to install the os on my new cruncher but it's lets just say having issues with the one friggin disc I wanted to install the os from. Now it looks like it may run win 8 preview. Just because it's actually loading.

And how the hell did Microsoft make it so I can get a blue screen during the initial boot from the install disc. Man they know how to screw with someone.
