What would you consider a deal? I have seen a few barebones with all nodes for $1,000-1,500 on ebay.Where are the deals on barebone Dell C6220s?
a silly question but was looking at X9DR-IF dual 2011SuperMicro X9SRL-F
It should, though make sure the ATX power supply you're using has two 8pin EPS power connectors. Most low end power supplies have either none or one.a silly question but was looking at X9DR-IF dual 2011
would a normal ATX psu and non ecc ddr3 work on those boards ? as a temporally solution / testing
what about memory, have a non-ecc 64GB Geil Black Dragon DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz laying around would that thing even recognize it ?
ARGH! I hate that.My second board is messed up. Going back to provantage. Pins were bent. #$@$@#$@#
Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Support | MicroLP Networking AOC Compatibility MatrixWhat expansion cards are compatible with the mezzanine-looking slot on those boards?
First board was fine physically except for fan header so I sent it to be checked out by SM.How did the board get messed up? Rough shipping, manufacturer defect? Are you talkin' bent pins on CPU socket? YIKES if so, that guy is pretty much in middle of mobo. What the hell???
Can't see how this is legal. Who warranty's the board? SM or the re seller/distributor?Also learned something new. SM warranty is from the day the board is sold to the re seller/distributor, not the day the board is sold to you.
If the board looks good I wouldn't care if the box came on fireI swear...must be something in the air, my second X9SRL-F mobo just arrived BEAT to SH|T, outside newegg box was beat in on both ends, supermicro box was heavily dinged and crumpled on one corder...way to go newegg for poor packing (was waiting for the day this would bite me), UPS for who knows what you guys did (soccer game anyone/conveyor log jam...chriznizzle) or the seemingly unnecessary handoff to USPS once it hit my town and they had a blast w/ it.
Sooo pissed, mobo 'looks' fine, SM box is in bad shape, I'll post pics up later
Comments/thoughts, what would you do? SUPER irritating paying retail $270 over at newegg for this board and then this garbage happens. First one did arrive in good shape. Arrggh
Test, send back, give two turds?
