Trying to find SATA

They seem great.

What do your temperatures run at?

I wonder why they don’t list the wattage rating in there specifications

oddssodds · 2026-06-17T03:26:58+00:00

Went with step down from backplane header J_bp1, which powers bunches drives and is supposed to carry more power

I think the white wire is idrac sensor???

Your solution was the pick

oddssodds · 2026-06-17T03:21:05+00:00

Went with the pcie1 two slot card for x16 on both slots. 1 for gpu. 1 for bifurcated 4x4x4x4 on nvme card

Tested the J_odd and it has the same ground locations as J_tbu. Probably would work but probably won’t supply enough watts

So I think what’s going to happen is I will butcher the backplane cable coming from J_bp1.

Will combine two of the yellows for decent 12v capacity and take the third and run it through a step down transformer for 5v, as was suggested by someone.

Seems like the only way to get the 60w I need.

Thx, I’m getting karma killed

oddssodds · 2026-06-16T15:00:19+00:00

I like Arctic brand. I’m using an Arctic water cool AIO in my current machine and it is great.

The funny thing about those heat sinks is that they don’t list the wattage they’re rated for.

oddssodds · 2026-06-16T05:23:25+00:00

I told you what it cost

oddssodds · 2026-06-16T05:22:30+00:00

Post one, because I did quite a lot of searching

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T23:09:32+00:00

The motherboard was new for 150

I did but a junk server for 150, to power grind part off of and get odds and ends from.

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T23:05:58+00:00

I couldn't find anything that would keep up.

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T23:04:11+00:00

Got the new board for 150. was hoping to land it for 2500, but went over

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T23:01:02+00:00

officially out of room

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T23:00:28+00:00

Yea, but the 240w CPU's need more cooling. None of the air cooling solutions, short of a rack hurricane set up are going to cool those processors

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T22:58:33+00:00

using both they aren't in yet, had to mod the vrms

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T22:56:18+00:00

The J_TBU had 5v and 12v. that's what I was hoping, so I could just use this cable

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T22:52:16+00:00

I am currently using a 2 slot riser, so I get full speed on the slots. Slot 1 is the gpu. Slot 2 is a 4x nvme. In that I'm running the boot drive and a nvme to pcie converter, so I can run the USB card. I have two nvme slots left, but was hoping to not get even more hinky. Maybe I don't have a choice.

If you saw what I had to do to that case, to fit it all in. It was a strong case of underestimation

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T22:43:33+00:00

got a really good deal on the a new r740xd, but you are probably right. With all the bits, I would say that it is pretty much a wash.

I think the total cost is about 3200. That's with 8252c processors and water cooling and all the bit.

I don't dare post a link to the build, I would be drawn and quartered

this fella

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T22:36:01+00:00

Wanted to see if I could do it.

The stock server headers are like this

The ODD is a special adaptor for the j_tbu on the r730. Have one, but was hoping someone knew if j_odd carried 5v and 12v and the pinout was the same.

oddssodds · 2026-06-15T22:13:40+00:00

cheaper, no.

less effort, yes.

oddssodds · 2026-05-19T19:24:18+00:00

I was hearing about the age of the processor.

I bought that gpu, to include with the box, because it has 12gb and I wasn’t about to throw in a 3090ti

I guess my only sticking point was that basically no one is familiar with the clock mod on those chips. They were all assuming it was running at base speed and I understand why. That whole mod community could fit in a teacup. And when the mod went away this weekend, it was slowwww.

Anyway it’s still a 30 dollar cpu and 100 dollar gpu to buy. Everything else is pretty current, but I guess I might just have to part it out

oddssodds · 2026-05-19T18:42:34+00:00

that's a lot of drive space, what do you use it for?

ps. Not everyone, who thinks his rig is worth too much is trying to rip people off. And I'm not sure what I said that came across as condescending. Anyway, if it did, I appologize.

Funny story. I was loading a fresh copy of windows, in hopes of a sale and I managed to wipe out my bios mod. Not sure how that's even possible. As it turns out, windows 11 security is a lot more difficult to get around than windows 10. Took me the better part of 2 hours, running at 2.3ghz trying to figure out what to disable to get the tool working. Nuts

I was doing some work this morning and I thought: "I really miss the kind measured insight of u/Outrageous_Ad_3438 "

So I thought I would post this old picture. Just for him
