Crunchers Helping Crunchers

Does anyone have a water pump that they could donate or sell cheap? Mine self-destructed Tuesday evening. So my rig is inoperable until I can get a replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I belong to and contribute to the TPU Folding and WCG teams.

Yes, I have an ivybridge I3 that I can loan you. PM me for more info.

Anyone have a Sandybridge or Ivybridge chip they would allow me to test a B75 motherboard I just picked up? I am hoping to test an I3 or celeron (No I5/I7) since it is going to replace my 1156 cruncher.

The build is

CPU: ???
MOBO: B75H2-AM (ECS but acer OEM Identical to the B75H2-M (1.0) but green PCB)
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3
GPU: AMD 7450 1GB

I already built a I3-2100 a while back. Thanks though

No problem. Sorry about that, I misread the date from your original post.

I don't crunch anymore, but I do have two or three basic PCI-express video cards. They're something like ATI x300's. Would help out if someone has a board that doesn't have an onboard gpu. Let me know if anyone needs them, just pay shipping.

Ah, I think it was T that was running one of them. Seems like it was the original Home Server.

I suppose I can install 2011 and give it a shot before activating the OS LOL.

Yes, it was me, and it was WHS v1. It kept locking up on me, and I didn't want to deal with it. But then again, WHS v1 is a half-breed mix of Vista and 2003. I think WHS 2011 should do better.

Cool, thanks T! I thought it was the original version but wasn't sure. I think that the 2011 version is built on server 08 R2 if I am not mistaken. Should work okay.
I guess I will find out. :laugh:

Papahyooie · Apr 3, 2014

Just to chime in, You're right stinger608. WHS 2011 is built on 08 R2.

That being said... I've ran both WHS and WHS 2011 for 6 months each. Both were a waste of time. I mean I guess it's good for what it was intended to do, but when you start going outside those boundries, it starts to mess things up. I ended up just rolling my own distro so to speak out of a W7 install for my home server. I don't recommend WHS at all. The benifits just dont outweigh the hassle.

I think I was just more wanting to fool around with WHS 2011 than anything. Seeing what it was about and still being able to crunch for the team with it.

It's fun to play around with for awhile. The dashboard and automated backups are nice. But honestly you can get programs that do the automated dashboard, and I ended up RDP'ing into the server more often than using the dashboard. Other than that it's a real hassle.

Bmaverick sells some very nice, new DDC-T1s for a rather reduced price. I've recently bought a second one from him. They were apparently rescued from a salvage, so I've heard.

Thanks, I'll look into that. For $35 I will definitely get one. Just one question though, will I need to purchase an aftermarket top to use 1/2" ID tubing?

But chances are you can find a top for cheap in the forums here or any others you might frequent.

Anyone able to point me towards a really good deal on a socket 1366 motherboard and RAM. I have a i7 920 available locally for $65 which would make a good starting point for yet another crunching rig.

I dunno why but x58 boards are coming harder to come by and when you find one its atleast over 100$. I searched for a month and finally found a OEM alienware motherboard on ebay and took a chance on it. It was 75$ and also came with bent pins (seller said it was good but bent pins pissed me off). After bending the two pins back it works great but takes a good 20 seconds to even post the boot screen which is a known problem with these boards. It even OCs quite well for the cooler I have.

This is the board I bought but it was 75$ at the time.

+1 to what Brandon said- decent X58 boards are getting harder to find and the prices are steep. I would avoid 1366 setups unless you get a good deal on a hex core chip

Yea a person can pretty much put together a 1155 system for about what it costs for 1366 hardware. I don't get it to be honest.

t_ski · Apr 18, 2014

I've been able to pick up a couple X5650's for $250 or less (for both), and a dual-1366 board for $200 or less (one was $180 with two Noctua coolers). Considering I had all the other parts, I thought it was worth it. These perform close to dual 3770K setups, but with only one board, meaning I can run with less rigs. If I was damn lucky and got an awesome deal on two 3770K's and boards, I still don't think I could have done it for less than what I got these for.

Right now I know where I can find a dual-socket board for ~$120-130, and two X5650's for $230.

Dual 1366 and Xeon's are a completely different story!

I'm guessing that the i7-920, etc... chips can't be used in a dual socket board?

theonedub · Apr 18, 2014

I saw those X5650s yesterday- was very tempted to get reckless :laugh:

No, you need Xeons for the dual QPI.

Hell I have 2 x58 rigs. I'll trade them for fx8350 rigs. lol jk. I too have noticed some spike in prices in x58 parts. But I have also seen deals out there too.
