man, now if only you could use those gpu's to do other types of stuffages.

[ballz0r]

nice rack! :)

[Septim]

any numbers associated with that?

[ballz0r]

34.219 TeraFLOPS!!!!1!!!11!!!one!!1


I didnt realise GPUs were so much more powerful than CPUs

[Ricey]

Do you know which motherboard is that?

I shall procure that as soon as possible.

Thanks.

And when I"m done, I want to top that.

[rubidium]

They could have at least done a better job sleeving those power lines.

Also, I'd like to know what chipset is capable of supporting 4 16x PCIe2.0, or do they cheat and share the bandwidth among the 4 slots.

[Ricey]

It looks like some sort of Gigabyte mobo.

There is no chipset that allows four way 16x. Only the NF200 allows three way 16x, and if you go five slots, then its 16/8/8/8/8.

MSI K9A2 Platinum

So 8x to all the lanes, he's posted some at [H], doesn't have it fully operational, think he's looking for 300k+ ppd.

[Ricey]

300k ppd. Good luck to him.

Cheap mobo! Really cheap! I'm gonna buy myself one to try.

[ND40oz]

Not if you're going to have 8 GPUs on one board though, that's density. Ah, you ninja edited out the part about the 285s...

If I were doing it, I'd use the Asrock X58 board, same PCIe layout with proper spacing, but you can go i7 instead of an AMD board with the SB600 south bridge. If it had the SB750 sb, it would be a different story.

That's just freakin brutal. I can't wait until Boinc comes out with a CUDA shim for folding.

andyc

The first reaction I had from the first picture is the PSU. That PSU (or any common PSU that I know of) cannot hack quad 295s. Something was wrong off the bat.

Still only has 5 pcie connectors though...

The website says a 1250 watt power supply but doesn't specify which one. Only 1250 I'm aware of is the coolermaster, but it doesn't look shiny like this one does in the pics.

[Ricey]

No thanks... I rather have two high quality PSUs and two separate machines.

[Fitseries3]

you guys are crazy.

have any of you actually measured what your power draw at the wall is?

my computer with 2 295s, i7 @ 4.4ghz, 3gb ram, 2 sas drives, waterloop, raid card, and monitor draws 743 watts max from the wall under full load.

[Ricey]

Fitseries3,

I actually don't understand what you are driving at.

Are you saying that its crazy to drive four 295s with just a 1200 watt PSU or are you saying that two 295s draws only 750 and so a 1200 watt would support four 295s ?

I personally have a whole lot of drives in each machine and my power demands are especially onerous, even without demanding video cards.

[Fitseries3]

im saying the cards will never draw the full power that you think they will.

im saying... that entire machine probably only uses 900 watts or so even while folding.

it takes A LOT to pull 1200 watts from the psu. i've tried to fully load both my psu's and it wont happen. there is not enough connectors for devices to load it fully.

[Kayin]

I've used a K9A2 before, good board, but its clocking left a lot to be desired.

I can't find another good board with that spacing, the DKA790GX Platinum went to two slots instead.

Sounds like he can do it, it's just gonna take a lot of tweaking.

[smee]

Ok so now we just need like 5 of these systems solely dedicated to folding for RR Tech!!!

[Ricey]

I have shut down my PCPC 1kW just by running 3D Mark Vantage. Is that a bad PSU? I can easily draw 1200 watts, but I don't have the instruments to measure to show you.

[Fitseries3]

multi rail or single rail?

[Ricey]

single rail

[Fitseries3]

hmm... have you tested it with a psu tester? are the voltages adjusted to a tad over?
