Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Right. I don't want to pair it up with another Xeon. I just want to have a single quad-core CPU. This will be a RHEL6 file server in a SuperMicro SC846 E16-R1200B chassis, probably with a 3Ware 9750-4i.
I'm building a server using a SuperMicro X8ST3-F motherboard, which accepts a single LGA 1366 socket CPU. I'd like to use ECC RAM, so I'd like to get a Xeon. Builds that I've looked at on the web use the Xeon W3550.
I'm a little worried about power usage. The W3550 is a quad-core, single 130W...
