Very carefully, Correct, now guess on how their to be cooled and powered...

Cooled by the ice chill of space and powered by a small star.

More like water and two psus totaling 2150w(1500w+650w), this will need one big case, so far only Xigmatek has one that fits the bill and doesn't break the bank, the Elysium. I'm thinking of naming It Nova, I'm a BSG fan and the NOVA class was supposed to have a ship built named Galactica, but only 3 ships out of 6 were ever built according to the wiki.

my server has dual power supplies

:)

and it weights a ton


owchee , my toes, my back

... Although, checkout this system that someone built that has 7 GTX580s! Water cooled of course.

He's running linux and somewhere he stated that Windows would not boot with all 7 GPUs installed. Does anyone know if Windows 7 has a max number of GPUs limit?

That looks nicely done. Certainly shows the advantage of water cooling the GPUs.


Happy fast crunchin',

I am just in the planning stage right now for that new super boinc build. But I think I am leaning towards a more realistic approach with "just" 4 GPUs with a dead slot between them. It will be built over time, but starting this spring.

He probably tried to do this with drivers older than 270.xx with Win7, but that's just a guess. Two ST1500 Strider 1500w psus, impressive.

He says it was only built for a certain task.
I wonder what that task is ?

Looks like he was benchmarking with it.

I wonder what framerate he gets on Freecell :o)

[quote]I understand that SSDs will wear out with the constant writing and deleting of those thousands of WUs.

Maybe in 8-15 years.

That depends on (other) usage and utilisation... With data misalignment causing write amplification, an online review shows an SSD likely wearing our in less than a year. ...

Can you remember the web site?

See:
Intel's SSD 710: Making Enterprise Storage More Affordable?

Thanks for that.
I haven't been able to find the article i was thinking of, but here's a mention of SSD life expectancy as part of a review on a drive. Even allowing for write amplification you've got to do a lot of writing to wear out a drive.
SSD writes- life expectancy.

Yeah, i noticed that.
As soon as i'd posted it.

I've been messing around with my Red cruncher, not as crazy as 7 GTX 580s, but still some series crunching HP.

Tidy(er) than mine. :o(

I'm going to have to rewire after seeing that !!

Thanks, though I'd still like to hide a few more wires, it will have to wait. Still haven't found a good way to clean up the PCIe cables, there just a little to short to hide behind the MB.

I've been brainstorming what a project similar to Atlas Folder might look like using modern hardware and this is what I've come up:

Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 WS REVOLUTION
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500
CPU cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
PSU: 2x SeaSonic X Series X650
Video Card: 4x Asus GTX 590
Hard drive: Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB
Case: Custom build "Spotswood" stack-able tray
OS: Windows 7

1 tray would run around $4K, but would be what I'd all the current Ultimate Cruncher. To do something the size of Atlas Folder project would run $24K and would be worlds faster since it was based on GTX 295s.
