Putting Together a 2P/4P Rig - From Wallet Emptying to Running bidadv
I've gotten a lot of positive comments from my build log and I wanted to make an "unofficial" how to thread instead of just going off a build log. This is in slight interference with Hoth17's multicpu discussion thread but as he is no longer with us I would like to update and expand upon his thread.
This is something as a team we need to get on as soon as humanely possible. As of right now I believe there are 10 of us who have either completed or very close to being completed 2p/4p rigs. H has an army of these things and EVGA just has a lot of folders. Multiple cpu rigs are the future of folding and the more people know the better
The first post will be detailed instructions on how to construct your own multiprocessor thread, along with different budget options that are available. The second post will be PPD benchmarks for various configurations. The third post will be a gallery.
Buying Parts
In all honesty, the best place to buy chips right now is eBay. It's just silly to pay $1240 for a chip that you could get for $450 on eBay. Yes we all have our issues with eBay, but it just is the most logical thing to do. Unless you just have cash to burn, but even then you could build 3 4P rigs for the price of one
For motherboards, Wiredzone is a good place. They have awesome prices and fast shipping. I ordered my board either Thursday night or Friday morning and it arrived to my door the following Monday.
For RAM, cooling, and PSUs there aren't any special places to order them from. Find the cheapest, most reliable place you can

Budget: AMD 6128 8 Core Processor
Most common and best PPD/W: AMD 6174 12 Core Processor
Highest end 6180s
MC vs IL
The new Interlagos chips are based on BD...and we all know how that went. Fortunately the IL processors are actually faster then the MC processors. They just suck a helluva lot more power. Using 4x16core IL vs using 4x12core MC nets you approximately 15k more PPD [doing more research] but it will be sucking about 100-150 more watts from the wall. So if you can afford IL and don't pay your electricity bill then please be my guest and buy them

A 6272 will perform about 25 seconds faster than a 6174, that will be about 15k faster. Now, if you were planning on buying your chips retail regardless of price, IL all the way. However, because a 6174 can be had on ebay for ~450 (I just bought 4 [auctions] that averaged out to $450 each), you are saving $400 dollars over IL. That, and it will consume 100+ watts less, MC is the right choice. Even at $525, 15k PPD is not worth the extra watts, if you are paying for it.
Now, if you are not paying for your own electricity, and you don't want to wait for and 6174 auctions to come up, then IL is the way to go.
Having said all of that, there is a fourth option. Right now, I think it is the best option. Buy a 4p board and 4 x 6128s. This will cost about $1300. That is about the cost of a 2p board and two MC or IL chips (maybe slightly more). It will net you 260k PPD, which is far more than the 180ish you can expect form a 2p IL or MC setup. Then, over time, as auctions come up, you can upgrade to MC or IL. And better yet, used IL may start cropping up for < $400.

SuperMicro H8DGU - WiredZone
TYAN S8812WGM3NR - Newegg
TYAN S8236GM3NR - Newegg
Right now SuperMicro is the preferred manufacturer for boards as they are overclockable.
The board I'm using for my build is the second link, and also the newer board; it's also cheaper
. I would personally recommend it, unless you need more RAM slots and prefer the alternative layout for whatever reason, then you could go with the H8QGi+-F.RAM (Click to show)
With SuperMicro boards we can now use 1600Mhz ram effectively!
Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB)
^this has been the most recommended ram so far.
If you want 4GB dimms then check out Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB)

These chips do not run hot. A CM Hyper 212+ will cool them perfectly fine. They do however require custom mounting.
For custom mounting instructions scroll down on this post.
Here is a list of "native" g34 coolers.
Also I would like to bring it to attention that Koolance has launched a new screw set for their 360/370 block line! This is very exciting

PSUs (Click to show)
Get solid built PSUs. DO NOT cheaper out here. Remember this will be running 24/7! These setups don't pull more then ~550w [Unless you get IL] from the wall but to maximize efficiency you want to buy a solid good brand name PSU. My personal recommendation for any 4p build is the Corsair AX1200.
More then like you will need this adapter as well. Most PSUs, including the AX1200 will only have 2 EPS 8 pin slots. I am using the same cable with my PSU and I've had no issues.
Also another adapter that has been recommended and overall might be a better one to useLink

Throw in an old HDD you have laying around and you're good to go.
Total: $880-$980, not including shipping.
This section still needs some more work as I haven't done a whole lot of research on 2P boards myself.

Now here is where it gets a little awkward because it's between a 4p 6174 board and a 4p 6128 board. But it's right in the middle... Probably your best option is to take the $1500 build, and switch out 4 6128s for 2 6174s. You aren't going to get as much PPD, but this leaves great opportunities to expand to a full on 4p 6174 system as money becomes available.
Will work on other options for this build later

Necessary steps to setup a 4P for folding (Click to show)
Basic Ubuntu Desktop Install
- This is about as simple as you are going to get. You can still download Ubuntu 10.10 HERE.
- Install Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 64 bit. It will install nicely from a USB drive with unetbootin. The only thing you should change is to use ext3 instead of the default ext4 filesystem when partitioning the drive. I think this is pretty straightforward to do from the installer. HERE are some screenshots of a pretty typical install.
- System - Administration - Update Manager. Click "Check" to let it find all available updates. Click "Install Updates" - you will be prompted for your password. Let it update.
- System - Administration - Update Manager. Click the "Settings" button and uncheck the "Check for update" box.
- Places - Home Folder. Create a new folder called fah (Right-click - Create Folder)
- Right-click on the new folder - Sharing Options - Check the Share This Folder checkbox - it will prompt you to install a package, let it install. It will want you to restart your session, don't yet. Cllick Cancel on the sharing box.
- Reboot the machine. When you log back in, go back to Places - Home Folder, right-click your fah folder and select Sharing options, and check all three checkboxes. You will get something about adding permissions, click OK.
- Open a terminal (Applications - Accessories - Terminal) and type:
Code:
cd ~/fah wget "http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/FAH6.34-Linux64-SMP.exe" mv FAH6*.* fah6 chmod 755 fah6 - Run F@H config:
Code:
./fah6 -configonly - Enter all your stuff. I add the -smp -bigadv flags in the configuration to prevent having to make a shortcut with them, but to each his or her own.
- Run F@H:
Code:
./fah6
Install BFS - for all Intel systems I have tested. NOT for multi-socket AMD systems. (Click to show)
1. Open a terminal and type this:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chogydan/ppa && sudo apt-get update
Edit from 10e:
If you get a "command not found" error when running "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chogydan/ppa && sudo apt-get update"
You need to do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
2. Once it finishes, type this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-ck linux-headers-generic-ck
3. Still in the terminal, type;
Code:
sudo update-grub
Code:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic-ck
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic-ck

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
done
Look for the ones that ends in -ck. If the first two entries end in "-generic-ck" like the example, you are finished with this step. If they are the third and fourth entries, type this:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=2
Code:
sudo update-grub
If they are the fifth and sixth, you would set GRUB_DEFAULT=4, and so on. They should be either the first and second or third and fourth.
4. Now, reboot the system. Once it reboots, open a terminal and type:
Code:
uname -r
Install "The Kraken" wrapper - for all multi-socket systems

*EDIT - 6/28/12 - Updated to version 0.7-pre15
*NOTE: To get the most use out of the kraken, you need to have NUMA enabled (SR-2s, other 2p Intel boards) or node interleaving disabled (G34/C32/Socket F AMD systems). If you have a multi-processor board, you should have a bios setting for one or the other.
1. First, make sure the client has downed a core. The wrapper wraps the actual FAH core, so it doesn't do anything until you have a core downloaded.
2. Download the package:
3. Untar it

Other Useful info:
Other information I found very helpful but was hard to find--mostly over on [H]:
- Stopping your fah client can result in a bad checkpoint file and lost work. Here is how to backup your fah data automatically.
- It is bad practice to test your new build with live data. Here is how to setup a test fah configuration.
- The FAH client does not like IPv6. Here is how to disable it.
- Turion Power Control is a great way to monitor and tweak your build. Here is how to download and install it.
- Musky's FAQ from the main OC bios thread on [H] has some great tips like how to check for hypertransport retries and how to see what CPU speed was detected by Ubuntu.
- Here is how to see what refclock you currently have set.
