Yep, mining isn't going anywhere. I'll just have to make sure I preorder ASAP. (who am I kidding, I'm going to preorder and use it to MINE!)

Couldn't overclock much; locked mult @ 7x and the mobo doesn't seem to like 400fsb, so I stopped at 366. Still, for $29 with everything included, it's a nice upgrade from 2 core to 4 core and a lot more cache (while using significantly less power).

$29 for the CPU and sticker and I'm up and running. I killed a fucking P5K Deluxe by accidentally putting it in the wrong way, but I had another board and I'm up and running on that: Motherboard is a Gigabyte P35-DS3L running bios F9 (no modifications).

I'm in on this! Picked up a sticker and L5410 for $29 shipped. Should be able to sell my E8400 for around $20 after the swap :cool: Been wanting to upgrade to a quad core for a while, but didn't want to invest a lot of money in my old platform. Running a P5K Deluxe with 6gb and E8400, 7850...

I think you have the right general idea. I'd guess we're no more than 20 years away from multiple petabyte or exabyte hard drives, and I'd also suggest planning for a 50 year time frame with the idea of transitioning to a better, more affordable medium as technology improves.

I'm a fan of it. I do this at home for content filtering: 192.168.1.100-199 = static DHCP unfiltered assignments 192.168.1.200-225 = static DHCP filtered assignments (using dansguardian) 192.168.1.226-250 = DHCP assignments (also using dansguardian) This keeps unknown devices on the network...

Bump for a completed deal - got the mobo/ram today and everything is great.

Looking for heatsinks suggestions for the following setup: Norco RPC-450B 4U case Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard AMD Phenom II X6 1045T 95W processor I have the stock heatsink and fan, but I'd like something a little more effective and quiet. My usual go-to solution is a 212/212+, but that...

More importantly, is that you with captain Picard on the top right shelf?

UP! I like to bump while deals are in progress - everything going smoothly so far ;)

Holy lack of memory, Batman! Grab a 2x4gb set immediately (should cost around $40-50 new, a bit less used). This is easily going to be your best upgrade, and will add a lot of life and performance to your setup. You might even consider 16gb (4x4) if you can get a good deal (I've seen used sets...

Have any references (preferably heatware?). Also you might check out #23.

Bump for a deal in progress :)

The i5 3470 has a TDP of 77w, versus the AMD chip @ 95w. That's a 18w diference at full load. Assuming the worst possible scenario of full load 24x7 @ $0.15/kwh (a good guess at the national average), you're looking at a max of $23.65 a year difference. That figure drops significantly as you...

Edit: got one, thanks!
