21) Message boards : Number crunching : New build aftermarket fan compatibility (Message 73196) Posted 3 Jun 2012 by Rangers Post: Im about to buy a server 1155 motherboard xeon, but am unsure if the aftermarket cooler (StarTech FAN1156PWM) is compatible. I know that its 1155, the thing is I had a quad core am3 fan that didnt work on another one of my computers that was bulldozer(am3+), so im kinda confused. I know it wasnt the same socket*, but it did install just didnt keep it cool enough I guess. So the startech cooler im looking at has the highest airflow but it says its for the i series cpu. Will it keep work with xeon. I really hate intel cpu fans, there a pain, but as long as an aftermarket works it shouldnt be a problem. I assume the motherboard comes with a backplate, I already have a i7 920 and i took the fan off to see how if it had a backplate and it was saudered in. Looks like theyre all saudered on the intel boards anyways. Also Ive looked at a few build videos on youtube and I dont trust the stock fan. So basically my i7 screws into the motherboard and I want to buy one exactly the same as its so easy. Should it matter what kinda cpu as long as you have the socket right, cause I did mix am3 with am3+ and it was no go, I figure thats where I went wrong. fans on newegg if you want to look at it.

23) Message boards : Number crunching : AMD VR INTEL (Message 71307) Posted 22 Sep 2011 by Rangers Post: is there a large structural difference as far as number crunching goes with the phenom vs i7. Ive heard about floating point math or something like that that handles all the math on amd procesors, is this still the case? I googled and couldnt find a difference so I will ask. I would be able to do alot more with amd.

25) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU Usage going crazy (Message 70865) Posted 2 Aug 2011 by Rangers Post: i made a previous post about my fan going crazy but that was me not communicating very well as that was what i was hearing and in fact looking at the cpu usage it was jumping around. I have the same problem on malaria control, so im on world community grid right now, was on docking.

27) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU fan going crazy (Message 70473) Posted 1 Jun 2011 by Rangers Post: its a dektop but it didnt use to make the sounds, i just found how popular world community grid is and it doesnt do the same thing to my cpu, also folding@home doesnt do it either.
28) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU fan going crazy (Message 70471) Posted 1 Jun 2011 by Rangers Post: CPU usage seems to stay at 100 but the noises its making make me think somethings wrong. It didnt used to do this, is something wrong or is it normal?
29) Message boards : Number crunching : i7 stuck on 100% in use (Message 62262) Posted 17 Jul 2009 by Rangers Post: so yea that would be fine except it doesnt listen to a thing i say. Like trying to cut down on the ram to make up for the processor. So its just running on 90% for some strange reason. set to 100. piece of junk i mean i guess they might have found a cure for schizophrenia but then they confuse me by coming out with 2 at the same time. sqeeker mc sqeekn sqeek

32) Message boards : Number crunching : Amd dual vs quad core (Message 56621) Posted 2 Nov 2008 by Rangers Post: Does wattage and socket make them compatible or are there other factors that im not seeing.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Amd dual vs quad core (Message 56620) Posted 2 Nov 2008 by Rangers Post: OK, so im doing my first build. is wattage and socket all that you have to worry about when adding a 9950 cpu? cause they recently lowered the wattage on 9950s to 125, yet i still see boards that only support say 9700 series say here for cpu http://cgi.ebay.com/AMD-Phenom-X4-9950-BLACK-EDITION-4mb-2-6GHz-AM2-125W_W0QQitemZ250317767608QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250317767608&_trkparms=72%3A1424%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A3%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ^^9950 Phenom black edition here for motherboard http://cgi.ebay.com/MSI-K9A2-PLATINUM-AMD-790FX-ATX-Socket-AM2-Phenom-QC_W0QQitemZ380075303083QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item380075303083&_trkparms=72%3A1424%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A3%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ^^MSI K9A2 Plantinum AMD 790FX

35) Message boards : Number crunching : Amd dual vs quad core (Message 56542) Posted 31 Oct 2008 by Rangers Post: i was just wondering the difference in the number crunching device that was in the cpu. I mean if its not gonna make a difference or is it. with the price taken into consideration. quad core should be better i think. and i plan on getting a couple 9950s but eh i could go cheap. intel chips are to exspensive.

37) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Schizophrenia (Message 56492) Posted 27 Oct 2008 by Rangers Post: im a computer guy and i was wondering if schizophrenia is always benifited from protein folding. Right now im running a couple of boinks, without alot of stars n junk like chess.... I plan on buying another computer. And if you can answer my question i would buy more probably.
