Got a VERY good deal on some Supermicro barebones on [H]--$550 shipped for two of the following:
Supermicro H8QG7+-LN4F motherboard (4p AMD Opteron)
1400watt gold certified psu
Onboard LSI 2208 RAID controller with 1Gb cache
3 hotswap bays
QUAD Intel i350 gigabit LAN
SuperMicro 1042G-TF CSE-818 chassis (1U)

$80 bought me 8 12-core Opteron 6172s on Ebay, so that's another 96 cores (~55k PPD) coming soon

Well crap, I got a dual Xeon X5650 system fired up, updated the bios, firmware, bla-bla-bla.

Now when I attempt to install Windows, I get a "multiprocessor_Configuration_not_supported BSOD.

After research I find that it is most likely caused by the processors having different stepping's!

Going to give Linux Ubuntu a shot and see if it works. Jeez, if it doesn't I'm going to have to install a pair of quad cores..........Was hoping to get these dang hex cores running.

Well, so far so good LOL.

Running Ubuntu on the machine (that I am currently typing on) and no errors. Of course I haven't tried to do anything yet. :laugh:

I've been trying to resist, but I'm going to finally give in and link this vaguely-relevant picture.

What version of Windows? I think you'll need the professional version (or better) if you have more than one socket.

Yep, knew that bro. Tried win 7, 8.1, and 10 all pro versions with the same BSOD. Has to do with different cpu steppings on the multi Xeon processors.

Installed Linux Ubuntu and haven't had an issue one......Well, its only been about 30 minutes.

Anybody else having "wonderful" weather? Yesterday brought nasty rain storms and they'll be continuing all today. I guess the upside is that it seems to be only rain, so while it ruins the possibility of getting work done, it means I won't have to shut down any crunchers.

I live where the inspiration for this comes from:

The new* rig is off to a nice start. Xeon E3-1225 v3. Sipping only 117 watts from the wall to do it too.

*new as in got it a while ago and it's sat around for a bit

hat · Jan 19, 2016

Well, I just noticed my i5 2400 has finished all its work units. Probably finished them up a few days ago... I seem to have a compulsion to run it, then stop running it, then run it again on my main system. It never comes off my Athlon II x4, though. When I run into encoding projects to tackle that's when I seem to want to disable it... because I always see each task still sucking a few % CPU while my other tasks are running.

stevorob · Jan 19, 2016

One of my rigs stopped getting MCM tasks either yesterday/last night/early this morning. Woke up and my wife's rig had nothing in the task list - added OET into that profile, and it immediately downloaded a ton of OET tasks...

Looked at the logs on my rig and still getting MCM - not sure whats going on.

Anyone else see any issues with MCM or other tasks not downloading?

[Ion] · Jan 19, 2016

New 4P setups are on track to be here on Friday...if I can get my homework done, that will make for a pretty good weekend project

My numbers were down really far yesterday. Haven't really investigated what the cause was though.

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is - I just checked my results on the WCG site, and I have pages and pages of results that are in Error status - all of them MCM tasks, and from both rigs that are running MCM at the moment.

Edit: looks like there is an issue - here is a post on the WCG forums with others having and seeing the same issue.

I noticed that three of my rigs were on the "School" profile which, for some reason now, doesn't exist anymore. I'm moving them over to "Default" to see if that helps. The new rig has generated no points today. I'll probably hook up to it and see what's going on.
Edit: Top three were "School", this is part of the way through changing them.

Edit: I take it back! Just had 3,498 points pop in for that rig.

[Ion] · Jan 20, 2016

My box with the 4 H8DGUs, 8 Opty 6172s, and 8 heatsinks arrived today. Don't have the rest of the parts I need (or time) but I hope to get them built/running this weekend

That + the 4P setups means that, if I can find sufficient power, it's another 192 cores :toast:

Recca29 · Jan 20, 2016

down ~200 points since i upgraded to win 10 on my Athlon 5350 system.

System was generating ~1300 points daily but now its generating ~1100 points. i think i need to do a fresh install on the system.

hat · Jan 20, 2016

Upgraded to Windows 10 from what? 200 points isn't really a serious hit, but it's still around 15% less than what you were getting.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 20, 2016

Well I get a long weekend due to we are about to get pounded upon by good ol' mother nature. Calling for feets of snow not inches. So my main rig may not crunch during the weekend as I may well have some ocing fun with it since it is nice and cool in my basement (heat isn't turned on down here) and I will have about 4 days or so off and home with nothing to do. So it's going to be a pc playing gun shooting time. I have a couple of my guns I need to work on and then sight in which I can do out my basement window LOL . I love being out in the country.

[Ion] · Jan 21, 2016

Don't worry, I have lots more coming online soon so I'll keep you covered

Haha, that sounds like a pretty good time to me. Enjoy all the snow for us Floridians!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 21, 2016

Oh if you want some of it you can have it. We could be buried under 2 or more feet by Saturday. It's supposed to start mid Friday and they are saying that right off the bat we could see 3 to 4 inches an hour. Shit won't even take its time, going to bury us right from the start. I been saying if people want a blizzard carry your ass to Dairy Queen.
