Dip in my RAC this week

[DrPop]

To keep anyone from being concerned, I'm going to post my intentions regarding the 2 rigs here. My RAC will probably dip considerably; I have no way of knowing how much. I am purchasing the new case and a new mobo w/ more PCI-E slots to run these GPUs in one rig. That will allow us to bring the 4870 & 4850 online for Kat. Unfortunately, I have to do a round-robin with selling off my Intel QX9650 and my DDR2 RAM for an AMD X6 and DDR3...and I've got to get the money from one before I get the other. My goal is to get this all done by the next PG challenge so that I can add a little more fire power for us there.

If all goes well with the upgrades I should be back up and running with full RAC, and Kat should be cranking out MW points (thank you again, Bryan! ) in roughly one week.

We got your back...

Holy smokes Dr.Pop!! You are really on the move!!

I have been curious about those AMD X6....You gonna give some pointers, when up and running??

Anyway....We will try to pump as many CS as possible....(as always)

Well, I just bought a 5970 which might help a tad... (Thanks for the code, DrPop)

Basiclly how they run...Hot/cold? Do they only run on DDR3 boards? I only got DDR2, so I need to know how much to set aside....

Which project are you working with that beast?

Well, at 100% load right now running primaBOINCa, it's running at 34C. I'm running this one at stock right now. I've run quite a few projects, and never run into a heat issue. It's an AM3 socket CPU, but it should run DDR2, if I'm reading the specs correctly (I have DDR3 installed in this machine).

I like it quite a bit. Feeds the GPUs well, runs some projects better than others, but works well running a work/crunching machine. No regrets with the purchase so far...
