Zule, how did you end up with a computer creation date of 11 Feb 2012 ??

Obviously everything changed, but did you reuse an old drive/OS and Seti read that info?

I have been following this thread since long. Never built a super cruncher, however, here are my rigs.







I am still in the process of building my 3rd rig. So far, it is just a CPU cruncher. Got the motherboard cheap on ebay so I could reuse my old CPU. GPUs will need to wait till I have the budget. Currently uses an old Radeon X1300 since there is no onboard video.



The second card on my main rig GTX 285 gave out a couple of months back. These were the very first GPU that I purchased way back in 2009. Rigs 1, 2 & 3 are controlled through this via VNC.

Here is my crunching machine. Since you have seen tons of pictures from the outside and the inside of a machine here is my desktop.



If I remember correctly the RAC will gradually shift to a horizontal line when it begins to reach its maximum value. No sign of that happening yet.

Maybe something for someone with a mini-ITX motherboard and them wanting to go for water cooling, but none of the packages thus far was useful: Corsair H5 SF Prefilled Water Cooling.

It looks pretty snazzy...

So who would have guessed that is how 'Linux' looks?!


From the chart, looks like you have a pretty fast ramp-up.

There's really not anything you can add onto that motherboard, is there? Or is there a videocard slotted on the right (backview)?

Here is My first quad GPU host, my daily driver.



Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl
PSU: Corsair RM650
MB: Asus A88X-PLUS
CPU: AMD A10-7850K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Memory: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8 GB
SSD: Kingston HyperX FURY 120 GB
HDD: Verbatim 2 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB
Optical drive: Samsung SH-224DB 8X DVD+/-RW SATA
GPU: 3 * Asus GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 (two in PCI-E, one in PCI-E extension card), 1 * AMD Radeon R7 Spectre (integrated in CPU)

As You can see, it draws about 230-240W (230V) when running 4 AP GPU units and two MB CPU units.

Curren RAC is not what it should be, 24h off-line last weekend when I was away, and 3rd 750Ti just installed. Could be around 40K, wait and see.

(and Yes, there is dust inside case, cleaned it after photo :)

You ought to see how much room there is, in a Corsair Graphite 780T! I've just bought one for my new build....it is massive inside and out. I could've gone for a Skylake build, but have stuck to the promise I made to myself, nearly 20 years ago, to never be at the 'bleeding edge' again. The money saved, meant I could buy better quality/better performing components.

Full details are; Corsair 780T (white), Corsair AX860i PSU, Gigabyte Z97 G1 Sniper, i5 4690K, Gigabyte R9 390X (8GB) 32G Crucial Ballistix 1866 MHz RAM (timed 9-9-9-27), 2 X WD Black 2TB drives, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD (solely for OS etc.), LG 16X Blu-ray drive, topped-off with an Asus Xonar D2X sound card. Just waiting for my Win 7 Pro DVD.....

Should be a very nice rig....
I long ago ran out of money to be bleeding edge. Did it for a long time, and waiting a while gets you all the same bits for a ton less cash.
Some pics when you get it together, please.

Meow!

Well, It didn't go as plan did.

Several mysterious freezes.
Not available to solve it (I'm in love :)

Back to home, UPS complaining, turn of UPS, switch to main current. Fuse goes bang. New Fuse, again bang.

Corsair RM650 is gone. Three fuses goes off before I realize it.

Was three 750Ti's too much for RM650?

Wait and see, CX750M is now running.

There's an EVGA one that I like also but their website is down until next week.

Yep, I know that calculator, and I did use it before installing third Ti. And it always calculated under 500W PSU.
