Crunchers Helping Crunchers

[manofthem]

If I can swing it, I am gonna get Tski's P67 and try and land this CPU. Any thoughts?

I agree with Chevalr1c on the i3. I put an i3 2100 in my second rig, and it's a very capable pc. It sound like your friend needs doesn't need (typo) much

 

[Arjai]

Is that an AM3 board? Is it possible to someday get him a 'more better' CPU?

Also, will this be available in two weeks, pay day?

I've found my i3-2100 + HD7950 to be capable of pretty much any games (w/ BOINC snoozed, at least)--to the point that I pretty much don't touch the 3930k unless I need more RAM available (2100 only has 4GB).

it will most likely take a better cpu without a doubt. Without the exact model number can't tell which proc it can use. But where it was mentioned it takes ddr2 I guess it's this one. Which seems to take just about all phenom II x4's and 2 x6's. I would think if it can take a 970 it should be able to take alot more then 2 x6's. I have a Msi ddr2 board and it takes all Phenom II procs.

Yup, that's the board and as MaD pointed out, it does accept much higher spec'd CPUs. Given the design of the VRM I would stick to quads- either over clocked Athlons or stock Phenoms (6 cores as well). The board is black, not red, too.

I'll post some pictures of it if you'd like. This one should still be available in a couple weeks.

If the budget miraculously grows to the $450-500 mark you were estimating, I also have 2 mITX setups. One is an APU A8 3870K in a Node 304 and the other is an i3 3210 in a Prodigy.

Someone please tell me that my pump didn't just die (or at least give me a "Yeah, I've heard that sound before. It's not good.")

 

[torgoth]

Have you guys seen the mod of making 771 xeons work on 775 boards?!
I'm thinking about maybe picking up a L5420 which is almost a q9450 (-160mhz, but with much lower tdp ) and throw it in the g31 I have lying around

 

[AlienIsGOD]

would anyone by chance have some DDR2 laptop ram kicking around? pref a 2GB stick of 667.

Possibly... I'll look tonight to see what I have

 

[cameronh779]

Trying to get my cruncher back up and running. Does anyone have a dual core Athlon and maybe some sticks of DDR. Preferrably 1GB. Anything works though. I'm in a really tight spot right now. I gave my last cruncher away to my uncle when he got done with kemo.

Where you at and which socket do you need the Dual core for? S939?

Sorry Bud- Only stick of laptop ram I have left is a 256MB stick of DDR 266

I have 1GB DDR2-sodimms

 

[Peter1986C]

I got two DDR2-SODIMMS (laptop RAM) of each a GB. I do not have dual core Athlon available though, only a single core s339 Athlon64 3500+.

 

[theonedub]

I have a 2GB DDR2 800 SO-DIMM sitting here on my desk, but I am not sure if its working or if its a stick that had memtest errors. Not sure if its worth the risk send a potentially bad stick to Canada and I do not have a DDR2 laptop available to try and test it in at the moment.

 

[Peter1986C]

Oh, Canada. Meh, then it is useless to ship my RAM too, because of shipping fees.

 

[cameronh779]

Does anyone maybe have a 400W+ PSU laying around? Themadshot is looking for a s939 dual core for me so I might be covered on that, not sure. I'm still looking for some ddr ram. Preferabbly 512MB or more sticks.

Thanks guys!

 

[cameronh779]

I have a pair of 2x1gb Dominators DDR2 that I can offer up to a cruncher in need. I would really like to use them to maybe trade but im willing to help someone out.

 

[brandonwh64]

Found a H55 motherboard so now I got these sets of ram and will let them go cheap!

Guys, I'd just like to remind/warn all of you to please do ABSOLUTELY NO B/S/T in this thread. If you need something ask, if you have something to give say it, but anything further than that please take it to PM's. Saying it again in case someone missed it last time, but this will be the last time.

Here here! but at he same time

 

[theonedub]

Can we edit the thread title to add 'Freebies Only' or something to that effect?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I think title is just fine. What I'll go ahead and do is edit the OP.

 

[brandonwh64]

Is it still OK to create a FS thread in that section and link it here?

I think that's the preferred method. If you list it in B/S/T and meet all the guidelines there, then linking it here is fine.
