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.
I had an H115i go bad on me -- not sure if it lost liquid or the pump failed. It was also on for nearly 24/7 since purchase across a couple systems. I might've just worn it out.
With that being said they are designed to be sealed units where you shouldn't need to add liquid to them.
So I found a x5680 for 65 bucks from servermonkey, jammed it in my x58 sabertooth, overclocked the turd to 4.2 on first boot and I'm getting 150F max temps with prime95 on an h115i. i should've done this a LONG time ago. This thing is a beast. Makes my i7-960 look like a crippled dog with 3...
You may need to find additional hardware to use a standard heatsink on a Dell motherboard -- I'm not certain on the T3500s, but I know the T5500 didn't have the typical holes around the CPU like a standard motherboard does. In fact, it had threaded inserts that appeared to be soldered to the...
What switch are you using? If it's a junk switch it could be bringing everything down to 10 meg to match the PC when powered off (WOL defaults to 10meg usually).
If I recall my I7-960 stepping is D0 -- I am running 6 sticks of ram in tri-channel mode, but it's all the same RAM, NOT mixed.
Hadn't thought of this until now -- but I should check the ram voltage under load, I wonder if it's dropping pretty hard and fall out of spec.
I'm convinced its the motherboard -- it's always been a tad twitchy. It's still working -- but I don't think I'm dumping any money into it for better CPUs or whatnot.

I'm astonished so many of you are able to hit 200 on the front bus -- my i7 960 can barely run 25x155 at 1.28v. Any higher voltage and it gets a little twitchy. Shouldn't be cooling issues, I've got a H110i stuck to it.
Here's the fun part -- the Raspberry Pi is anemic as hell in terms of decoding any video without the use of that OMX-Player that leverages its built in hardware h264 decoding. Unfortunately, MOST applications for the Pi do not leverage that ability, and rely on software based decoding.
Correct -- Plex is a 32bit program -- however, depending on what you're using for an OS, it's going to snack on quite a bit of that from bootup, and not leave a ton of headroom for multiple streams being transcoded (if needed). I have seen the transcoder program itself peg upwards of 2 to 3...
