    Which CPU for passively cooled computer?

    Less than a watt CPU draw when idle? Wow. Just wow.

    Which CPU for passively cooled computer?

    http://www.silentpcreview.com/Serenity_i7_Sandy_Bridge_PC That will certainly help. It's almost silent when idle (SPCR has a sound floor of 10 dBA) and extremely quiet under load: 11 dBA idle, 12.5 dBA Prime95 + Furmark. Thus passive is overrated; with a well designed case, with good fans and...

    Do I need to reinstall Windows?

    YOU DO NOT NEED TO REINSTALL. MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS WILL NOTICE THE CHANGE IN CORE HARDWARE DEVICES AND REINSTALL ALL THE DRIVERS. I am speaking from experience. I have swapped motherboards several times on the same OS installation (Windows and Linux); there is no need to reinstall the OS...

    Does Socket 2011 have Dual Channel Mode?

    Yes, cause the so-called "kits" are extremely different from just buying standalone two, four or eight identical DIMMs. There is no cost; the kits are just pairs of DIMMs, nothing special except for marketing.

    Do I need to reinstall Windows?

    You don't need to. Just swap them, boot, Windows will reinstall all the basic drivers for everything. Reboot and install updated drivers for the components.

    Which CPU for passively cooled computer?

    G620T, i3 2100T and i5 2390T are all 35W dual cores; the OEM i5 also has Turbo Boost. i5 2500T is a 45W quad core. Alternatively, get the Supermicro X9SCV-Q and stick a mobile CPU in it.

    Using OWC Mac Pro RAM in SR-2 or SuperMicro dual xeon Motherboard?

    That's because SR-2 is a junk motherboard.

    ECC Memory - no Xeon

    So there's no other restriction than the BIOS supporting ECC (thus all server boards on LGA 1155/6)? AWESOME!

    SLow CPU speeds when browsing.

    Speeds look typical for an HDD (or rather two old ones).

    Dual PSU and 1 switch

    Bridge the green wire from the main PSU to the slave one (that's not connected to the motherboard). That way when the motherboard turns off it pulls the green wire low and both PSUs will turn on.

    Excellent, you will not be disappointed. You'll be able to keep that PSU for at least ten years.

    i7 2600K Many CPU temp sensors- Which One?

    That's not the true. The OS can stick threads on any cores it wants; I can even manually set that, with Task Manager or similar tools; the option is called process affinity, by default it's set to all cores so the OS is free to move the application's threads as it sees fit - you should not...

    1333MHz CPU with 1066MHz RAM?

    *facepalm*

    If you were going to buy the BEST 1000W+ PSU it would be...

    JonnyGuru measured almost 0% voltage regulation, which is absolutely fantastic; it does not get any better than almost no fluctuation in voltage at all. Seasonic Platinum 1000W wins hands-down.

    supertalent ddr3-2000 cl8 compatible with asrock z68 mb

    Probably not. Intel desktop CPUs support a maximum of 1333 MT/s CL9. Anything faster is unsupported and COMPLETELY useless - it provides zero measurable benefit in any real world desktop workload.
