every so often this comes up(as far back as 2011)

mining on a soundcard isn't going to get you very far very fast even if you can get it to work, i'd have better luck with a pentium 3

*yawn*
X Kw in any room is possible with proper wiring, upgrading your breakers at the panel won't let you run 8kw from those miners all on one line however. lets work it backwards from your existing setup
you have 8kw worth of mining equipment, you need  ~67AMPS available to you, without having one of these to check it's inrush current i'm going to say you actually need 80 insted. if your house is wired with 12gauge wire(as opposed to 14, how cheap was your electrician) you could use 4 20 amp breakers. Assuming your electrican used 15 amp outlets you'll need to replace them as well, then it's just 3/line(so 2 lines per outlet)

or as mentioned instead of rewiring a room and running 80/200 amps residential get them hosted

if you can moving to vmware will solve some of your issues, we can increase disc size of an existing virtual drive dynamically(and add memory on esx) if you're running all of these on their own box ESX is free to use and a lot more powerful than VirtualBox

that's funny, I used to be a hero member with something on the order of 1500 posts, i guess i've been reduced in rank for not liking ads?(the other layout also included a few things not shown with the bitcointalk one that were nice to have on occasion) back on topic i'm glad the forum is back at least

You mean you've taken this opportunity to force ads on all of us(which are disabled by the actual SMF default theme) by defaulting to your custom theme.

wow big changes, Welcome to the modern era!

Very nice looking, for anyone interested in that close look

Sounds like the first steps to assembly line programing, you can have any UI you want as long as it's black!
No bugs for two years is quite a feat, i'd like to see microsoft claim that

that i assumed i'm asking who

So today i got an email saying that
"This mail was sent because the 'forgot password' function has been applied to your account. To set a new password click the following link:"

With an ip geolocating to about 1500 miles from where i'm sitting. so dumb question is who's trying to be me?

not in this case. but with a properly designed cooler and ducting it could be useful in a high density scenario compred to traditional coolers.

an active cooler is far safer and easier unless you're designing the case yourself and ducting a high volume through where the cards are

you can use passive coolers if and only if your case provides enough airflow on it's own(one or two big fans as opposed to lots of little ones is the idea there)

if the card is fine a fan is cheap, i'd be suspect of the card without a through test though I know I lost one during a power outage the entire board was discolored slightly, it would still boot but got hot and loud quick.

Yes a board should post outside of the case, if you try booting with no memory but just a cpu in the motherboard do you get beep codes?

I wasn't saying for this single feature it was more of a generality, an unserved userbase leaves an admin with an empty forum. this feature? probably not forum closing, a hundred ignored features later though?

That sounds like it's aged(or was inexpensive) and isn't operating at full rated capacity, to be fair though 1380 watts is getting close to that 15 amp rating (depending on exact line voltage)

you'd probably have been better off with a new MB for efficiency sake(p4 wastes energy like there's no tomorrow) and not too different of a price range. Socket 775 covers a lot of chips and can lead to this kind of deception/lack of knowledge.

It's not about what theymos wants, he's the administrator sure and that bears responsibility for making some decision and changes on his own, but the server is here for the users and if he fails to keep the userbase happy then the forum dies.(plus this sounds a lot more useful than the implemented trust system)

If that was his answer then the motherboard would post and give an error, 2007 era motherbaords and modern gpu's work fine (I actually use a 2007 era dual xeon workstation at home and work FB-DIMMS and all)

Old monitors never ran on paralell ports, they used VGA(DE15) starting in the late 80's and EGA CGA and MDA before that (all DE9)

As for your issue specifically, try posting the motherboard with no memory installed, you should get a bad ram beep code assuming the cpu is functional which limits the issue back to ram selection, if it won't do that either the motherboard or cpu itself is failed. (side note i've never seen a dead core 2 plenty of athlons though)
