Well the mobo got fried... I don't want Intel anymore so I need a new CPU and my grphics card hhas shit falling offc, now for how I fried my board.
Ok, I put it in a dishwasher to cleanout the socket, it would have been fine if I didn't forget to take out the CMOS battery and discharge the capacitors

lol

here are some base builds to work off of if you want.

My Base Builds (http://theelders.net/forum/index.php?topic=3426.0)

This was before they had opterons for 939. I have a feeling with your knowledge youd rather do DFI. Just a few setups for you to look at. Not to mention i could use your point of view on the builds :D .

Dude, find a wholesaler you can buy from. NewEgg is alot more expensive than a good wholesaler.

Best deal on an opteron, anywhere :toast:

And Newegg can beat any retail stores prices, even when the stores have sales. You would be best off getting everything else from newegg (They dont sell 939 opterons)

Actually I get really good good prices from a friend. Anyways the mobo would have been fine if I discharged all the capacitors and didn't forget to take out the CMOS battery... it still powers up but it doesnt boot so I'm going to soldier a new BIOS chip omn it and see if that does anything
