Hi all i thought i'd start adding pics of my build i will let the pics do the talking this is where im at so far i will have it all up and running by the end of the weekend
Very nice Kirk, your kitten in pic one looks great as well Did you purchase the mobo/cpus/memory new ?
Hi one box, The mobo, cpu's and case were bought from bennieboy The ram was bought new The build has come to a halt The radiator I have came with 6 bags of fan screws but they were 2 different sizes and I started fitting the fans to the rad with the longer screws, and now I've made a hole in the rad Theres nothing in the box saying they are different sizes and when there all mixed together they all look the same size
Where exactly is the hole? As if it is just one of the metal fins it doesn't matter. Try leak testing it to see what happens.
What's happened is there's a plate under the screw holes, probably there to prevent this happening or trying too. The screw has bent the plate into the fins and spilt one of the water channels, not sure what there called lol they carry the water thought the rad Sent from my BlackBerry 8520 using Tapatalk
Good stuff Kirk, welcome to the SR2 club, I'm using the same case for my SR2 as well, I have a triple rad in the top and a dual rad in the bottom plus an EK SR2 chipset water block, runs nice and quiet but has a 24 thread 4.2ghz kick
cheers coola do you have the PSU at the bottom? i was think of to rads but wasn't sure due to the PSU taking space up right i've received a temporary radiator off the market place today, its a 360 but only half height but it will do me for testing etc and i'l see how far i can push the cpus without them getting to hot so she will be running this weekend whats a safe temp for folding with E5620 xeons?
Intel says Tcase of 77.6 degrees, so I would set low 70's as the max. Of course you are liquid cooling so should be able to hit less than that.
it says on core temp max 95c? there at a low 2.7GHz atm and there ~40c when folding im going to start a higher OC today
http://ark.intel.com/products/47925...-E5620-(12M-Cache-2_40-GHz-5_86-GTs-Intel-QPI) This is what I would trust over any third party program. But in reality temps are more down to the end user and you deciding how long you want the chip to live for. Hotter = less life.
yep thats where i was looking also.... im not going to let it get that hot... i hope so far stress testing at 3.2GHz on stock vcore temp ~52c
just changed over to ubuntu and core 0 doesnt seem to be folding.... the other 15 cores are at 100% load hmmmm ive install the kraken and BFS EDIT: It seems to have sorted its self out now
I know the recommendation for Amd multi-socket systems is to run the Kraken without BFS. I'm not sure if this applies to Intel chips though.
Hi Kirk Looks like you just finished your first P8101 . How is the SR2 going? I like the white case. Are there any more pics?
hi mate, yes it has its fine... wish i had better cpu's tho lol.. i cant get them above 3.8GHz ive seen on the Evga forum that a few people have managed it.... but i just cant get her to post above 200bclkb wish i could afford THESE as there super cheap compared to the others on ebay i dont have more pics atm as she isnt finished ive just got a temporary radiator in but i cant find any screws to fit the fan mount holes so there tie wrapped on and it looks awful
Couple of 5620's have sold for £200 even on the bay, night not be a big expense to get them if you were lucky. Unfortunately, more have sold for around £70.
Hi Kirk I am not very familiar with LGA1366 systems. To get to 3.8GHz are you running at 190 x 20? I should think that`s pretty good for E5620s, remember this is folding, it needs to be stable 24/7. The X5650s would be a good choice, save up some money and upgrade later on .
