    Well, er um they came back with an offer of £80 extra each for 6274's and I said yes. So that's 64 cores. :D

    There's over £1k change. :D that's all I'll say. :eeek:


    I think I'll be working 7 days a week next month. :eyebrow:


    Oh and my plan for putting it out in the garage may get escalated. Apparently on start up it will sound like a harrier jump jet and needs 2 power leads. Or some sound proofing pedestal. :D

    That's a gratuitous waste of a lot of money on expensive, frivolous computer hardware...

    My understanding is the passive heatsinks you've purchased are designed for the 1P chassis.

    You may well need additional cooling to fold 24/7 with your set up as your chassis is designed for active CPU cooling.

    I just fitted 92mm case fans to my P0043s with blutak and cable ties which proved effective.

    I shall be most interested to see what temps you achieve to compare to my Xigmatech case.

    Good luck :thumb:

    Yeah I think I might.

    But the case has 2 sets of 3 fans and an airshroud over them to ensure the air only goes over the cpu's.

    Will see what I get next week when I get it. :)

    I can assure you that you won't need additional cooling - you will have hurricane force cooling with this SuperMicro case setup. The downside is the noise, so for this reason alone you might want to make some tweaks with the cooling ....

    @ Doc,

    What CPU temps do you get with your 4P setup when folding ?
