Got ahold of an old skulltrail board still in the box with two QX9775 processors. Intel D5400XS motherboard. The processors are supposed to pull 150 watts each. I plan on running two opticals and four harddrives. One video and one audio card. I don't plan on using a huge video card. I have a Sigma power supply that's 600 watts I recapped with all nichicons. Do you think it would be good enough or should I go and find 1000 watts or maybe a 1300 watt. I'm planning on water cooling the processors as well. The case will probably have about 6 fans in it. What's recommended?

Re: New build.
dont waste your time and effort water cooling that. this board isn't overclocking friendly....good dynatron copper sinks + air flow is all you need. @ 150w per CPU with all the extras, a 600w PSU isn't going to cut it there. 800w or higher.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: New build.
You'll need an 800+ for sure, especially for a video card.
Honestly though, if it were me I'd throw the Skulltrail setup on ebay for $300-$350 then go with an X58 board and 6-core Xeon such as an X5670. Together can be had for under $200 and it's faster single core and almost just as fast multicore while only being a 95W chip.
Example: $70 HP Z400 board (it's plain ATX) http://www.ebay.com/itm/381267231831 + $90 Xeon X5670 http://www.ebay.com/itm/331594852564Comment

Re: New build.
600W should be enough for his setup IMO. He said he doesn't plan to use a huge graphics card. The two CPUs may pull 300W, but I can't see the rest of the system using more than the other 300W.Last edited by c_hegge; 07-06-2015, 10:20 PM.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Re: New build.
why not use more than one psu?
i used to build server towers with one psu for the boards and another for all the drives when a big psu was 350wComment

Re: New build.
I guess I'll go with this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371060 . I was just wondering if I could get away with a smaller one because I have a bad habit of going too big and then going home.
Motherboard's on it's way TC. The new in box price from Amazon is $2,500, so that's what I insured it for.sigpicThe Sky Is FallingComment

Re: New build.
Yeah, I guess I should go big because I don't know what the future will hold for this one. I may add more and more to it over time. I put a 1000 watt in the last one and this one has two processors not just one. I'll hang onto the 600 to use in the old system, it has a 600 in it now but it will need recapping eventually. I'll just swap them out.sigpicThe Sky Is FallingComment

Re: New build.
you realize that PSU has only one 8-pin CPU power connector, and that motherboard has two? (one for each processor)
The benchmarks of these Core-series can't compete with haswell, or even sandy bridge, requiring a much lower PSU and has greater capability
how much did you pay for it?Last edited by Uranium-235; 07-08-2015, 01:23 AM.Cap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: New build.
Wrong. That PSU does have two CPU connectors. One is 8 pin only, the other is 4+4 pin. see http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=287
A pair of X9775s gets a passmark score of 8355 - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?...682&cpuCount=2. That's actually faster than a Core i5 4690 (which gets 7612). But yes, you are right about the power consumption, and a core i7 4790K would be faster again and cheaper.you paid $2500 for this motherboard & CPU's? Are you insane?

Re: New build.
you could of gotten a i7 LGA 2011-v3 3.33ghz 6-core and an Asus SLI board for much cheaper, with a passmark score of about 13k. Probably $500-600 totalCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: New build.
I got them cheaper than that actually, but mostly I got them for their rarity and novelty. I already have a six core. I was intrigued by the hybrid server/workstation aspect. It is a hobby you know? I've got 4 cyl., 6 cyl., and v-8 cars, I enjoy them all. This board was the first to do SLI and crossfire. I plan on filling all the memory. Wonder if I should go bigger? Hmm.sigpicThe Sky Is FallingComment

Hello. Ive got problem with Dell Latitude 3520. After power on, no display and fan goes crazy. Standard job, I exported a clean bios from update via pfs extract.
Steps i done and results:
I exported a clean bios from update file via pfs extract.
1. Build clean bios with clean ME, PMC, PCH in flash image tool.
Result: Dead
2. Build clean bios with no changes in ME, new PMC, PCH

Rather than post in the PSU build quality pictorial thread, again I am splitting off the recapping info into its own thread. Also, I plan on doing some possible modding/experimentation on this PSU, so I figured that info would also be better to go here.
The PSU in question is this one:
Detailed post with parts and build quality is here:

So this PSU has very simple output filtering: two 2200 uF caps on each major rail (3.3V, 5V, and 12V.)
Here is a cap diagram showing the caps... -
Hi,
You will probably find this funny, and it is, but it's also a project I'd like to take seriously.
I have a campervan and I'd like to avoid thieves to break in it when I am inside it or not.
For this purpose I imagined a simple device that can play a sound based on a vibration detection (in case of intrusion attempt) or by pushing a button manually.
The sound wil be a growling dog, which will deter any thief, thinking there is a big dog inside the van
This sound can be manually triggered by me if I'm inside the van, or played automatically... -
For today's thread, I have a KingWin ABT-650MM ATX PSU. Official web page with the PSU specs is still up and can be found here:
http://www.rmac.kingwin.com/products.../abt_650MM.asp
I just can't help it when I see a broken / for parts PSU on eBay that's listed for cheap and looks at least somewhat interesting. Well, OK, I won't lie – on the outside, this PSU looks anything but interesting. It's a plain gray box with colorful “spaghetti cables”.
What mostly drew me into buying it is its 2x PCI-E power connectors...
