Title: 6 Intel Bad Axe 2 (5.5 bitcoins shipped to US) +other socket 775 Post by: underminer on October 26, 2012, 06:46:02 PM MOTHERBOARDS
Intel Motherboard D975X BX2 Intel Bad Axe 2 (5.5 bitcoins shipped in US.) I originally called these mystery motherboards because it was not too clear exactly what the real "name" of this motherboard is, I believe I have found a spec sheet of sorts here: http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/whql_mlp_d975xbx2_d53347.pdf Here is a photo: http://imgur.com/1AMDJ What I know about these: Socket 775 (Accepts Core 2 duo, Core 2 Quad, Pentium Dual Core) 4x DDR2 667 and 800 mhz speed 4 Sata Ports 3 PCI-express full length card slots 2 PCI slots From what I can read crossfire is possible between the top pcie either @ x16 and x1, or x8 and x8, and no matter what the third slot is x4 speed. What I can tell you from personal experience is that I put three 5770 cards on the board with no risers for one mining machine, and I have one with a core 2 quad q6700 8gb of ram (4x2gb) and windows 7--I also plugged a usb3 pcie mini card into the third pcie "video" slot and it works, I guess people do this all the time but it was a first for me, lol! I also read that these are a "stripped down" version of another board with a sata raid controller. I wouldn't doubt it it is hard to find info on it, but they work great! I should also have either a 2ghz or 2.1 ghz core 2 duo, or pentium dual core along with a coverplate for the i/o on the back of the motherboard for each available. Infinity Dark P965 (9 bitcoins shipped in US, also a socket 775 but fsb is 1333 capable with 2 full pcie and 2 short, they look like x1 to me ) 1 ram plastic lock down thing is missing unfortunately from the infinity board but it hasn't given me any problems I have been able to properly seat ram without it... CPUs Core 2 duo 2ghz Core 2 duo 2.4ghz Pentium Dual Core 1.8 ghz RAM Some DDR2, will check 12 or so 667 ecc ddr2 modules 6 or so 1gb 800 mhz ddr2 Various 512mb modules 4 256mb of 533 (lol) So thats what I've got! I bought all the same type motherboards together from someone locally who upgraded a whole bunch of workstations and apart from my checking one or two out for specs, and an odd sale here or there they not been touched since I acquired them. The other couple motherboards are mainly from desktops that I wanted the cases for or that I was planning on mining with and haven't yet. Feel free to post or pm with questions about the stuff listed here. I *don't* know exactly what I want for each so please feel free make an offer on what you can use. I'd be interested in bitcoin, local wa transactions possibly, or even trades for other pc parts. I plan on continuing to mine so if you are changing up your gameplan I might be interested in gpus (or ?) that you are not. **edits** Changed things as it seemed prudent to do so, also added non-negotiable motherboard prices in bitcoins.

Title: Re: 11 Intel Mystery Motherboards +other socket 775 (for mining, etc) Post by: underminer on October 26, 2012, 06:55:32 PM Trying to find info is like pulling teeth lol! It looks a bit bare but its actually fully featured and the spacing on the pci express for video cards is better than 90% of board I usually find.

It looks a bit bare but its actually fully featured and the spacing on the pci express for video cards is better than 90% of board I usually find. What kind of info do you need about this mobo?. I had this mobo paired with a C2DX for around 2 years. Title: Re: 11 Intel Mystery Motherboards +other socket 775 (for mining, etc) Post by: underminer on October 27, 2012, 04:02:18 PM A speclist or something would be awesome if you have one. All I can see online is support for 667 speed ram for example, but I have run 800 as well (checking bios to verify speed) and it does seem to do 800. Also and especially with intel boards, you never know what chips they will *actually* boot with, I have listed what I have so far tried on these personally.

I still need to do some poking around with the intel website and the name you listed to look for drivers...

Title: Re: 9 Intel Bad Axe 2 +other socket 775 (for mining, etc) Post by: underminer on November 24, 2012, 09:21:19 PM Still have 9 of these things, let me know if interested!
