Title: [WTB] Socket 1366 Processor for my Mining rig. Post by: nckrazze on May 15, 2012, 12:41:31 AM Hi, I am looking for a 1366 processor for my mining rig. I can pay in bitcoin. I dont need anything fancy, just something to put in to get the system running to mine.
Let me know if you have anything, I am more than interested. -Nick Title: Re: [WTB] Socket 1366 Processor for my Mining rig. Post by: bitlane on May 15, 2012, 02:12:52 AM Check Ebay.
I buy LGA1366 Quad Core Xeons usually for under $100....and they are getting cheaper every day. I currently own 14, all engineering samples and never a problem. I prefer to mine using my I7 boards over cheap AMD crap. Here's a good example of a cheap low power dual core: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Intel-Xeon-Nehalem-E5502-ES-QGYE-1-86g-2C2HT-4M-L3-LGA-1366-Working-Guarantee-/230782387185?pt=US_Server_CPUs_Processors&hash=item35bbb3c3f1#ht_1081wt_1139 Title: Re: [WTB] Socket 1366 Processor for my Mining rig.

Yeah seems like thats a good option, but the thing is, I don't want to get a nice processor to be wasted on a rig. Now if this were for a personal computer, that would be a good option.

They require a proprietary server-only chipset and are built for embedded aplications. STAY AWAY from them. Happy shopping. |
