The Noctua NH-U12DO heatsink's have just arrived, now I know what the 'U12DO' stands for - 120mm! I didn't realise when I ordered them they were that HUGE!
----------------------------------------WOW, these things should keep the processors cool, they have the option to run at 1000 or 1300 rpm, so shouldn't make too much noise either. I'll try to get some pictures of the hardwrae and boxes uploaded in the next day or two, before I start the build, most likely at the weekend... Really looking forward to this challenge!

We all have to have a 'Hobby' mine is building computers and running distributed wu's for the greater good!
----------------------------------------Crunching for humanity... Corny? Yep, well it's true! Edit - Whether or not it's beneficial, only time will tell. Just rest assured that any contribution small or large is contributing to the final and ultimate goal, cures and better treatments for the diseases that blight humanity and the cure(s) remains elusive!

Looking good, so far, keep 'em coming!
---------------------------------------- Does the fact you're using a custom-frame for the build mean you're planning on duplicating the build, once this one's built and stable, and continuing to build upwards with further 4-CPU segments? Now that would be amazing to see!   |

Looking good, so far, keep 'em coming! In a word - Yes, my next build will be another 4P system, I already have the mb so will work on this a while, then develop the case/tray further to better suit the system as it is, then look at building the other one...Does the fact you're using a custom-frame for the build mean you're planning on duplicating the build, once this one's built and stable, and continuing to build upwards with further 4-CPU segments? Now that would be amazing to see! I'll be posting some more build pictures above later on this evening...

It'll be interesting to see the stats once it's settled in. At present there'll probably be a build up of units entering PV so the figs will be a little low, but after a few days there'll be about the same no leaving PV as entering and the stats should be more representative.
I'm looking forward to some whole day stats and ppw/h figures. |
