Problem is finding boards for those CPU's as they are rare and expensive if you find in, snag it!

Yes, that's very true for decent 2P boards, yet for a dedicated cruncher you may try looking for one of those (rather cr@ppy) 2P boards with limited PCIe slots or unusual layouts nobody bought in the first place. Quite cheap, as long as you don't need x16 slots or full PCIe lane support. I bought a used 2P Intel board recently on ebay for 100€, and it works great. You're absolutely right, though - decent 2P 1366-boards are expensive! Don't know about AMD 4P-boards, but things could be the same with them.

noooooooooooooooooooo
dammit.... not even with 4 machines crunching could 100K goal be passed...
congrats all stoners...!

I saw a dual 1366 board go on ebay for ~$105

Guess THIS is the link you mean. It looks interesting, indeed - not too expensive, either!

Because you weren't looking yet?

EDIT: Actually, thery're cheaper now:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HP-Z800...719?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2edf4c23ef

EDIT #2: How about cheaper?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Motherbo...213?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27eb970f85

Not sure what that one supports though, might be worth googling.

Wow, that price is much lower than I had expected. As an experienced man, what's your thought on that board, would you purchase?

t_ski · Mar 25, 2015

If I could find the drivers and everything I need (or run Win7/8/8.1 - I think you need Pro) AND I could figure out the funky power connectors (or buy a matching HP PSU), possibly would consider it just for a straight cruncher. I would probably be more inclined to go with this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERMICRO-...957?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ed66c434d

Just because it's a Supermicro and easy to get drivers, specs, etc. for, and will take a standard PSU.

Thanks T, I'd be up for the easiest possible solution lol. I don't use any hardware that should require crazy drivers. Thanks

The intel one may have a funky PSU header as well.

yes sir

stinger608 · Mar 25, 2015

@manofthem and @t_ski Keep in mind that almost all of dual socket motherboards have absolutely 0 ability for overclocking.

With that said, a buyer planning to use this setup for crunching will want to get the highest clocked chips for better performance crunching.

All this discussion should probably be moved over to the main WCG thread to keep Milestones tidy.

Now in stark contradiction to that, I do want to mention that you'll want to make sure the board supports registered DDR3 since it's a bit cheaper than the ECC-only that my Z600 demands.

Was just thinking that (both things actually)

Sorry for derailing this thread guys. :oops:

Let's move our sexy dual socket talk back to the main team thread.
