Guys
----------------------------------------Can Ubuntu 13.x handle dual processors? Will it be able to utilise all threads on 2 processors?

Ubuntu, doubt equal zero [Linux runs on all major and selfrespecting computing centre]. BOINC will too... as many cores/threads as you allow. There is some odd caveat when you go over a certain number of cores... sometimes BOINC does not recognize and then you need to force with a setting. Can't remember the number... 48 or something.

Super, many thanks SekeRob...Which MB for the Intel Core i7-3930K @ 3.20GHz processor? I'm not familiar with the latest intel kit... While this runs at 3.2 base, around 3.7 turbo, it uses 130 watts, the same as my FX8350's it does around 50% more work as it runs 12 threads... Or would 2 x L5639 Processors running 24 threads be better? while these are only 2.3's they would run 24 threads...

3930's use LGA 2011 motherboards.
----------------------------------------Benchmark wise, the dual L5639's are slower than the 3930K However, if you are willing to spend a little more, dual L5640's benchmark faster than 3930K's. I don't think you can OC the L5640's like the 3930K.  |

Many thanks, I'm looking at changing my systems to some that provide more output for the watts they use...Benchmark wise, the dual L5639's are slower than the 3930K However, if you are willing to spend a little more, dual L5640's benchmark faster than 3930K's. I don't think you can OC the L5640's like the 3930K. Haven't decided how to proceed, or even if I will. My fleet of FX8350's do really well, just a little power hungry... Will L5640's fit on the EVGA SR2? Edits - correct typo's again!

I'm using Linux Mint/Boinc with 48 cores and it recognizes them just fine. Not sure about Ubuntu. I've found Mint to be just as user friendly as Ubuntu though so you might give it a try.

Using Ubuntu on a dual 6-core HT machine. It recognizes 24 with no problem.

There are plenty of cheaper Tyan, SuperMicro X8 series boards, Intel boards and other boards to choose from. Though I did seem to remember someone claiming they could OC the L5639's on an ASUS dual processor LGA 1366 board. |

The EVGA SR-2 board is the one to use for OCing 1366 chips.
----------------------------------------A decent SR-2 should OC the 5639s to 3.6Ghz easily, just make sure the socket area has good ventilation and it will be very reliable. My (2)SR-2s run 24/7 365 and only get rebooted whenever I get around to it. I like them enough I bought a third one and am just waiting on the procs to get it Crunching...  |
