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? ![]() |

My old AMD machine killed over earleir this year, and this is my new partial build reusing some of my old hardware (video, ram, psu, etc). Nothing fancy... No pics, its not a model, its an unsexy, greasy worker. * NZXT Guardian 921 * I7-4790K turbo to 4.4. no other OC. I stability>speed * 24GB ram Corsair Vengeance (16gb usable, will address it later. recently added 16gb with the existing 8gb) * Gigabyte Z97X UDH5 board * Corsair TX750 * MSI H6770 video * Samsung Evo m2 500GB SDD (rapid enabled, all frequently changed files on HDD) * WD 1TB HDD * QLA2350 FC card (1.6TB RAID-6 MSA1000) * PVR2250 tuner * Swiftech Apogee2 cooling loop. (51C full load seti or rendering short-term, 63 max after 48 hours) * MX518 Gaming mouse (oldie but a goodie) * G510s keyboard * Generic 25" monitor * Asus 21" monitor #2 * Saitek flight pro52 joystick * Windows 7 Home Premium My local 24x7 server which has mapped shares I use *a lot*. Also a part-time cruncher... * 1U Supermicro case * Front bezel w/ Crystalfontz C633 LCD for status information * Supermicro X7DCL-I * 2) L5420 Xeon (quad core) * 8GB Hyundai ECC RAM * 2) 230GB enterprise HDD (RAID-1, intel codebase) * Boltek StormTracker PCI device * Server 2003 Enterprise Not in use: 2) DL360G3 Proliant 1) Supermicro PDSMI+ 1) Poweredge 2500 1) Poweredge 860 |

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. To overcome Heisenbergs: "You can't always get what you want / but if you try sometimes you just might find / you get what you need." -- Rolling Stones |

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. Happy fast cool crunchin, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

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

looks like it uses a pcie riser so you can add one huge gpu but i don't see a ton of airflow here |

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..... Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

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!

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

WezH Try this calculator to find out how much PSU you need http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator There's an EVGA one that I like also but their website is down until next week. |

Try this calculator to find out how much PSU you need Yep, I know that calculator, and I did use it before installing third Ti. And it always calculated under 500W PSU. |
