Reference Build: Z8NA-D6 "Computing" Rig

[pik4chu]

/rant
Greetings from 30k feet. Currently flying home from the "work project from hell" (80hrs+ per week), which starts my two weeks 'off'. Off, as in, I'm moving. Fun.
/end rant

Any-who, please let me know what data you'd like to see. I'll be happy to pull anything you'd like.

Having said that, this board will end up in the classifieds within the next few days, once said data has been obtained. I could RMA it, sure, but I've gone to the trouble of getting the updated BIOS (via eBay, $20, mind you) and it's gone through a few weeks of stability testing @ 100% CPU 24x7, so I figure it'll be better served by another folder/OC'er.

Any-who, here is the official announcement:
Please let me know of any info/data you'd like to see from this board!!

I won't bother the other DC teams, as I think they'll be just as disappointed with the overall processing power. IMHO, of course.

I'll check back here tomorrow (10/2) sometime to see and fulfill any data/info requests. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to do a hard cutoff of 10/5-ish so that I can finish packing everything. Sorry folks.

Until then...

I wouldn't mind seeing the Wattage used during FAH for this system

oh thats not bad at all.

Plus, from my earlier OC test, even at 4Ghz+ the E5620 can barely finish bigadv units. Which is weird for a 12mb cache, 4c/8t processor.

-on the Z8NA-D6, or dropping the E5620 in an X58 board?

In an X58 board silly

hehe, one can always hope...I thought maybe you found a magic elixir(or app) to OC the Z8NA-D6.

...don't mind me, only getting 5 hr.s sleep & being @work does strange things to my psyche.

:-o

=^.^=

If I found a magic elixir to do that, I'd apply it to my dating life.

More project details (sorry if any of these are repeats)

Edit: Consolidated to this post

As a side comment to this I just found my kill-a-watt and hooked it to my main rig setup.

an I7-920 @3Ghz (currently working on OC issues), a GTX280, 22" LCD monitor and a Linksys WRG200 wifi router pull about 460W while folding.

I'm pulling about 425W with a PhenomII 965 and 2x260GTX cards. I'm tempted to plug my monitor (21" CRT - 10~15 year old workstation monitor) in and see what the total wattage is. Although I'm guessing it will put me over the 600W that my UPS is supposed to handle.

EDIT: Surprisingly, the monitor only accounts for about 90~100W. Far less than I would have imagined. (I shut down Folding and plugged it into my UPS.)

The board *finally* made it to the classifieds.

Well it's been awhile folks!

I received a question about the RAM on this board recently, and came here to check. WOW was I surprised at how badly I put this reference/guide together!

Needless to say, a re-write of the info is badly needed, and has been added to my to-do list.

Hope to have more soon!
