BigWorm Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I believe the is one of the more popular dual cpu boards discussed here. Newegg has it back in stock and just dropped the price back under $300. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157350&cm_re=EP2C602-4L%2fD16-_-13-157-350-_-Product Hopefully you animals don't buy them all up before I get a chance to make up my mind. I just recently received a new chassic (supermicro 846) and am really torn between this board and getting a more expensive supermicor X9 board. Wow! Great price! I have this board and highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment
rory4881 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Quick question on these processors and my asrock mob. I can create a VM from my second slot GPU, but cannot do anything with my first slot. Would Unraid OS grab the onboard graphics first or is it grabbing my first slot GPU? Quote Link to comment
snuffy1pro Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Well, my back-ordered PC-D600 case is now unavailable. I have searched high and low only to find an actual hit on ebay for $1500 dollars. Um No. Any suggestions not ThermalTake? There is the PC-D66* but that case name and number are well... not to my liking. I also don't like the red internals. Wish the 8pack PC-D888WX was coming to the states. UK only special edition per my email convo with Lian Li. Any help with another dual sided cube offering please chime in.Must have at least 9 bays for my drive cages. Quote Link to comment

Ok, now that's not fair, I was just on last night and B&H didn't have it in. I spoke with them last week also. They told me they didn't know if they would be stocking them again. B&H knew you were looking and stocked it. Thanks!! LOL Going to buy now and pray. I'm not a big fan of silver but knew of the newegg unit. Weird they have the 600wa and 66*wb on the same link. Um, not the same case Newegg. "Homeserver" crashed again last night, "Kernal panic," on mover, handbrake and sonarr over working the cpu, core 2 duo quad, I need to get this new rig built fast so I can multitask. Thanks again, look for a build log soon. Quote Link to comment
rxnelson Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Apologies in advance but I have read the entire thread and don't think I saw an answer to this. Can the P4000x chassis support more than 8x3.5 drives? I've seen the posts that it can run 8x3.5 and 8x2.5 but that many 2.5 drives doesn't really interest me. Also, I'm not sure if anyone posted if one of the 5in3 cages will fit. Thanks for all the info in the thread guys. I'm looking to buy soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

detz Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Anyone wth the S2600CP2J install a GPU yet? This is the one thing I'm trying to figure out before making the purchase. Ideally this is my game streaming station and it needs a decent GPU to do that. Quote Link to comment

Does this hit the memory tabs? Looking at pictures it looks like it was easily hit those. Quote Link to comment
detz Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Looking over the boards on natex and is the only difference between the E5-2670 SR0KX boards with 128GB the ram type/speed? For an unraid setup with plex/gaming is the faster ram worth it? Will I notice anything going with the low voltage ram? http://www.natex.us/category-s/1865.htm Quote Link to comment

Does this hit the memory tabs? Looking at pictures it looks like it was easily hit those. Nope, in my rig, the 1080 is in slot #3 (from the left; the first blue open ended slot). As I only have one CPU in at the moment, the other blue slot (#5) can't be populated as it's only available when using a 2nd CPU. Quote Link to comment

Ordered my board/cpu/ram, now it's time to pick a case/power/fans Nope, in my rig, the 1080 is in slot #3 (from the left; the first blue open ended slot). As I only have one CPU in at the moment, the other blue slot (#5) can't be populated as it's only available when using a 2nd CPU. Well, learned two new things today. There isn't a huge speed different between x8 and x16 and an x16 card can fit in an x8 slot which just seems odd but cool! Quote Link to comment
Naldinho Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 What did you guys with the intel S2600CP2J motherboard do about the the io back plate? I haven't ordered it but was going to. You can get it on ebay for like $10 or something. I don't have the link handy but if you can't find it I'll look it up as I saved it with the intent of ordering it. Probably still will.

PanteraGSTK Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 What HSF are you guys using with Dual CPU boards? I've got one of the intel S2600CP2J boards and the low profile HS with a fan mounted to the top works...but they still get pretty hot. Quote Link to comment

I've paid $5ea (plus shipping) via Best Offer from http://www.ebay.com/itm/182162637018?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 --edit; shit, just saw that they were sold out... Quote Link to comment
