August 31, 20169 yr 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.
August 31, 20169 yr 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?
September 10, 20169 yr 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.

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.
September 17, 20169 yr 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
September 18, 20169 yr What did you guys with the intel S2600CP2J motherboard do about the the io back plate?

September 18, 20169 yr What did you guys with the intel S2600CP2J motherboard do about the the io back plate? bought on ebay.
September 19, 20169 yr It only holds 8 3.5 and 16 2.5 i added a 4 in 3.5 cage. Was this 4 in 3.5 an intel part or something else? Thanks.
September 19, 20169 yr 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.

Ideally this is my game streaming station and it needs a decent GPU to do that. Yeah, I have two s2600cp2j's each with (2) gt730's (for VMs), and a third s2600cp2j with (1) gtx1080 (win 10 on bare metal).

Does this hit the memory tabs? Looking at pictures it looks like it was easily hit those.
September 20, 20169 yr 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

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.

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!
September 20, 20169 yr 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.

Thanks, yeah they're not cheap for such a small thin peice of metal. I'll probably skip it..
September 21, 20169 yr 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.

Thanks, yeah they're not cheap for such a small thin peice of metal. I'll probably skip it.. The Intel IO plates are well built (not just the typical stamped metal). 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...
September 22, 20169 yr Looking at this setup http://www.natex.us/S2600CP-Intel-Server-Motherboard-Package-Deal-p/intel-s2600cp2j-128gb.htm would this powersupply be good enough? Right now I have 7 drives and bluray player in my system. CORSAIR CXM series CX600M 600W ATX12V v2.3 SLI CrossFire 80 Also how loud is this system with the fans below? 2 x Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U

September 23, 20169 yr Would these two current parts of mine work with it? PowerSupply - CORSAIR CXM series CX600M 600W ATX12V v2.3 SLI CrossFire 80 Case - COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP
