Thread: AMD OPTERON 6272 ON NEWEGG.COM NOW!

  1. #1

    AMD OPTERON 6272 ON NEWEGG.COM NOW!

    The 16 core Socket G34 chip is now available on NewEgg.com for $540!
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819113036
    The AMD Bulldozer era has officially begun.

    I will upgrade my BOINC cruncher in December after a few special checks hopefully come in.

    If anyone seeks advice with building their own mega-cpu-cruncher, feel free PM me for free help.

    Just another little goldfish... steamrollin the competition one project at a time!

    Interesting! I'm looking to build a mega cpu cruncher as well for my WCG badges. I wonder whats the most cores per $$? Energy usage is also a factor due to high electricity costs.

    To all of you, today is the first day that you can build a 32 core system using just 2 cpu sockets. The full system will cost you at least $1500 to build, but none of the parts listed below are expected to drop in price over the next six months. I call this "EBAY SAFE". In other words, you could sell it six months from now on Ebay for about 60% or more of what you paid.

    The ASUS KGPE-D16 Dual Socket G34 motherboard will support 2x double slot video cards and I have run PrimeGrid with them for months now.

    Shopping List For The core parts you will need:
    ASUS KGPE-D16 Dual Socket G34 motherboard
    At least 2 of these kits per CPU purchased: 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
    Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Case

    Here is the motherboard with memory installed, I decided to put memory in first so that I could keep it from flexing in the case.


    Here is my system fully functional:

    Maybe, send me an ATI and I'll figure it out.

    The good news is that NVIDIA chips even work in this AMD board!

    You should see the difference in memory activity between PrimeGrid and Yafu. Yafu really wakes up those 16 memory chips!

    Yep, with Windows XP or later OS. My 3 quads are setup that way.

    So can I run my 2 ati 5570's and nvidia 8400 together on ASUS P8z68-v pro mobo? Win 7 x64

    I know the 8400gs won't put too much of a dent, but I figure it could finish some mini-collatz before the deadline.
