2nd 4P

WhitehawkEQ · Dec 19, 2014

I almost have 2nd 4p ready to fold, just need case and HS

Now before you start telling me I can run it with out a case, I have 2 cats, so I need the case

Nice! Case IS needed. Cats are optional. Way to stop puzzyfooting around!

Either a case, or in a room the cats can't get into. (Where I'm keeping my 4P away from our 6 cats.)

Or simply a chicken wire cage put over the mobo and ps

I'm not willing to risk them climbing the cage and peeing on it.

You could duct tape the cats to the wall facing each other. They'll entertain each other for hours.

Cats are a good thing.

7 snakes, 5 cats, 1 dog and 1 hedgehog and I manage to keep them out of the computers...

Thanks for that mental picture :rofl:

I got a case this week, should have 2nd 4P up and running this coming week, but I may rent it out

WhitehawkEQ · Feb 17, 2015

It's done, now to set it up for folding or rent it out as a server. (get some of that $$$$ back) :rofl:

Wouldn't you need some massive storage to use it as a server?

Not to mention a very high speed connection to the net?

If I rent it out, I will fix it up with buckets of storage, that's why I also added a USB 3.0 PCIx card to add even more.
And who I rent it to will have it so they should have the high speed internet needed.

or

If I keep it and fold, I'll just keep the 120GB hdd in it.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of a good use for mine, or whether or not I should just part it out.

Put it on BOINC. There are SO MANY worthy scientific projects there, including Rosetta@home, which is very similar to F@H. I'm running Rosetta currently. It installs an instance of the work unit for every thread of the machine - yes, 48 mini-Rosettas all running at once. Your hardware is still exceptional and is still valued.

Light up that 4P! :shock:

Doesn't Overclockers have a Rosetta team already?

Woke up this morning and 2nd 4P was locked up, so I hit reset and nothing, so I unplug-ed the power for 15 sec and reconnected it and now no power, activity led on the network connector was on but no fans on. So I'm thinking CPU 1 went bad, no smoke just stoped working, well I unplug the 4P and go do something else for an hour or more and come back to it and try again, now it works.
I'm thinking now it was a thermal shutdown, I put a 20" box fan next to the 4P

weird

I've had something similar happen with a Supermicro 4P before: Shut it off for a while with power disconnected, later would not restart, waited an hour or so, system then restarted.

Gremlins, obviously.

I also had the same situation with a Supermicro. In my case it stopped working after several reboots while testing. I could get nothing working and finally took the CMOS battery out for 10 minutes and again nothing. The next day, I casually tried to turn it on, not expecting anything, but suddenly it started. Mine was not overheating because I wasn't stressing the board. I was just glad it worked again, as I'm sure you are as well!

My mobo is definitely heat sensitive. If the room temps get up over 90 (32c), I find the CPUs will drop down to a slower speed and I will have to reboot the mobo to reestablish the old clock speed. I believe AMD Opterons do not have the same temperature range as Intel's, with a max of 65c rather than 100c.

Most servers will throttle or shut down if they sense the ambient temp is over 35c
