Working on attaining the necessary hardware to get the thing going in the next few weeks:

SuperMicro H8QGl-IF+ Socket G34(with modded [H]bios for up to 20% O/C)
4x Opteron 6180SE 2.5Ghz
4x CM Hyper 212+
4x Crucial DDR3-1600 8GB kit
2x PC P&C 750 Quad Silencer's(80+ efficient)in tandem

  • Aiming @ 2.83Ghz for 500+K PPD
  • rig will pull 800+ watts and i had the PSU's already, so tandem operation is a natural for this build
  • I'm a total Linux noob, so may need some help here
  • If anyone is experienced with G34 and has suggestions, let me know
  • Biggest concern is buying a $600+ mobo and voiding the warranty with the bios flash:ohwell:

Ah, so socket G34 can be overclocked? I know nothing about any of this and I couldn't find very much info anywhere else... you're one of the pioneers in this niche area. Definitely gonna be interested in your results.
 
That's a pretty serious hardware build you're planning!!! :eek: :toast:

F-150 Raptor's rig is similar in specs to that. Drop him a PM and see what info he may have for you.
 
Woah, this is going to be awesome!:eek: :twitch:
500,000+ PPD? That's nearly going to double our team output! :respect:

The modded bios allows for 20% O/C, but the 6180 chips already are at the bleeding edge. Most only get about 13% O/C with the higher clocked chips so I should net 2.83 ghz +/-. The 8-core 6128's will do 20% without issue. Funny the difference between a 32 core rig and a 48 core is $1400.00 worth of chips. Net output would be in the 200k+ range for the 32 core. The question is are the extra cores worth it???
 
Sub'd to see end results:toast:
 
Damn, double our ppd with one rig? o_0
 
Is it done yet?

We, of course, want you to go balls to the wall, but only you can make the decision about how much money to spend. I was stunned at the (used) prices that I found for the 12 core chips in comparison to what they used to be. IMHO, you'd kick yourself a few months down the road if you went 32 cores vs. 48 cores. Do the math, what's your $/ppd for 32 cores vs. 48 cores? And won't the 32 core system pull almost as many watts as the 48 core system?

Hope you're staying dry!

Got 3 of 4 cpu's on order. Got a good deal @ $400 each for 6180SE's. Might have to spend more for the 4th cpu or wait 10 day's to buy again from the seller on ebay. Ordering Mobo/Ram/Coolers tonight and hopefully will have everything thrown together in about 2 weeks.

That's awesome, I can't wait to see the results! :toast: :rockout:
 
Secured the 4th CPU. All in all, only spent $1755.00 on the CPU's which is not bad for Opty 6180SE's. Motherboard ordered last night. Ram is out of stock @ Newegg:banghead:, but looking into other options. Gotta start making a home for this thing. Gonna run it "naked" until I can confirm the temps, then may get a Xigmatek Elysium or similar to house this puppy. Gonna start fabricating the brackets for the Hyper 212's in preparation for arrival.

Nice man! This is going to kick all kinds of ass! :toast: and as always... WE WANT PICS BROTHA! hehehe :roll::roll:
 
Nice project BUCK, can't wait for pics.

Oh, there will be well documented pics. I promise that much.
 
Need to connect the PSU's together and don't want to pay for a connector:shadedshu. What do you guys think about using a splice connector from the master PSU to the slave PSU?

I guess I could just run jumpers from the Green & Black wires on the 24 pin ATX to the adjacent PSU?

You could splice it or use a toggle switch. I would use a toggle switch.. Hehehe I like buttons and switches..lol :toast:

This seems the most straightforward solution; I can't imagine it not working.

Come on man, you are spending by my quick rough estimate $5000+ on this thing, just fork out the $15 for the proper adapter and don't risk it.

This is TPU, we don't buy adapters. :rockout:
 
Fair enough.:roll:
