Crunchers Helping Crunchers

My bad, it's an E5620 which is an LGA 1366 slot.

@twilyth will those work in the SR2 board that you were offering up for an upcoming challenge giveaway?

Going to start planning out our next challenge soon and am looking at some prize options

Wow such generous prizes the 1366 gear still gets along alright to...
I am a bit worried my post on the previous page may be ignored as it seems to be in the middle of an ongoing conversation and i am in need of some help from fellow crunchers, to reiterate : socket 2011 cpu has parked. Can any of the friendly team i contribute to on a somewhat irregular basis offer assistance with a replacement 2011 cpu and or advice on trusted platform modules..
Kind regards,
Craig0.

For the next Challenge giveaway I can donate 2 x Xeon E5530 if that's ok.

Such fond memories of participating in previous team challenges I never did win any prizes though. Looks like you guys have the makings of some great prizes for the upcoming challenge. I hope one of my teammates can help with my main machine so i will be able to participate as usual.. I have posted an image of the particular issues i must address before the next challenge in hope that you kindly brethren can offer some assistance.
TIA,
Craig0.

Sorry to hear about your hardware issue, socket 2011 parts are still fairly new so spare parts may be hard to come by-- I don't have any s2011 systems atm so have nothing to spare

As far as the TPM question, you may be able to find some assistance by posting in the Team thread or the hardware/tech support thread (link below):

I could mock up my own backplate with a chuck of wood, right? Go down to the Hardware store and pick up some one inch Screws and Nuts and do it up!! What's the catch? 16 threads churning out numbers, right?

While I'm there I will pick up some wood screws and some scrap plywood, some 1"x1" and make my own open top box for it...Maybe make a stand under it for the PSU and Drives....Sounds fun!!

I actually have done this before, back on a dual S771 board. It worked just fine.

I want these!!
Or, the 5620's @bpgt64 has!

I am buying a 2p board on Thursday!!

I think so. I'm pretty sure the SR2 is a 1366 board since it has 2 E5-5645 chips. I was going to donate it as a set with memory but I can part it out - your call.

As a set would be preferred and quite an awesome donation!!!

I'll PM you this evening to discuss further... not feeling all that well atm

Thanks!

Is it worth 1350€ for it?

If all is included except RAM and hard drives, it is worth it, used Intel servers always sell at a higher price than AMD servers and it might give a good competition to ion's new Quad Opteron server.

Each CPU was sold for $3600 in 2012. The guy that bought it brand new probably spent over 15000€ for it, 3 years ago.

What are your electricity prices like. Based on the tdp of the chips, you're going to be pulling well over 500w or over 12kwh per day if you run 24/7.

I know I pay about 20 cents per kwh so that would be about $2.4 per day or about $75 per month.

Looking for a 120mm AIO cooler - anybody got a lead on one?

Hey guys I am in need of a Win 7 pro 32bit iso. I have a laptop I need to do a fresh install on and it needs a 32bit version. All I have are 64 bit iso's. The key is a oem key so M$ is no help woth the download and Digital river is no longer viable for win7 downloads.

I have one, too, but it's from TechNet (probably mostly like volume licensing) and yours is OEM. Sometimes OEM keys and retail/VL media don't work together, and vice/versa.

Technet was such a good deal. I miss it.

Yep, definitely was. Too bad they had too many people spoil it.

That looks AWESOME. 32 cores / 64 threads is pretty awesome. A fair bit pricier than my quad Opty but not drastically. I'd echo concerns about electric cost though--these 4P setups draw a LOT of power.

That's my concern too
It has 2 X 1400W power Supply, that's mean that it use a lot of power.

Edit: take in consideration that pay 0,26€ per kilowatt, absurd.

Well, they probably are redundant, and my 4P only uses about a third of the capacity of its 1400w PSU, so it probably won't be THAT high. Estimating about 600w for that system (maybe a bit high, but not drastically so) that comes out to about $4 (USD) a day. That's a LOT. My 4P (with our substantially cheaper electricity rates--about .08 euro cents / kWh) is approx a dollar a day to run.

An SR2 board would be nice! I have a IBM server thats VERY loud and I could pull my 1366 chips out and put in the SR2 board with a better quieter cooler.

Just because it HAS a 1400W PSU doesn't mean that it's going to draw or use that much.
