So let's keep an eye out for your psu in eBay auctions

Crazy video, UPS is weak sauce right now

Hi all im thinking about doing some crunching on my folding rig since it's winter now and the warmth would be nice my rigs listed ,is my oc too high, its folding stable and cooled adequately.

That's a bit higher than I'd run it (for heat reasons, if nothing else) but should be fine. The FX*3*0 CPUs OC nicely

Well we welcome you to the team, and just in time for a Challenge coming up in a few days!

Crunching will stress that CPU far more than folding, so you'll know pretty soon whether or not it's stable!

Any further question on hardware, please jump into this thread.

Crunching?

Crunching?

Hello everyone,

I am starting this thread so that we can try to help each other out on getting some of our unfinished rigs up and crunching.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

aaaaaaaaaaah, well i will delete if it is deemed in appropriate.

Ask a mod to move it.

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)

Did the board fry the i7 CPU, or did it die separately?

The 930 died when it was in the board- board was tested as described in my post afterwards

If you want to test the board a bit more, I'll provide a better CPU for it

 

[OneMoar]

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

Bump.... nobody on the Team wants a free mobo/cpu for crunching*
* reminder- If you have dealt with me previously you know extra stuff tends to end up in the box

@OneMoar - I'm not sure of the settings when it died, it was overclocked though.

Tempted though I am--acquiring more hardware of that vintage is exactly what I'm NOT trying to do ATM

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.

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
