cool, thanks dh. now if i could only find one with the case mounted AC plugin... :D

Everyone keeps telling me the opposite: e.g. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1096959 What do you think is needed? I'd rather error on the high side to be safe.

Do you have any recommendations? Shopping for 1U stuff is hard since so few reviews compare 1U rackmount components. It has to fit into a 1U: 100(W)x40(H)x250(D) mm I'm powering a slightly oc'd core 2 duo on a Asus P5W DH Deluxe, 2 harddrives, and a really crappy pci express video card...

Well underclocking and undervolting had no impact reducing the freezes. I know this ghetto 250w PSU is pushing it. The c2d alone pulls 125w on load. I'm just trying to get this 1U rackmount server in our lab working stably.

I am debugging that gets random freeze-ups once and hour or so. Temperaturs are fine and the OS is a fresh install. So, I suspect it may be the PSU. The sytem is a Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Asus P5W DH Deluxe mobo, a very low end PCI-express video card, and a 250W power supply. So my...

Hey Michael, You can shave off a little by going with a cheaper PSU. Find a 450 or 500W for ~$70 (like http://www.overcool.com/Exec/product.asp?userid=04394181730774&item_id=34788, this is what I have and it works great). Dump the flash card (since it's not party of the "system" you can...

the 1/2 grain of rize sized dab then letting the HS spread it out is a fool proof method for good results. However, in my systems I got a 4 degree celcius decrease in load temp from spreading the same amout out with my finger in a bag. --N

1. yes the asus programs are god awful 2. all the c2d chips are unlocked downward. your mobo might not support it in bios but you can lower the multiplier in crystalcpuid n

Just as a point of reference... I used to do the half grain of rice dot, push the heatsink down to spread it, like AS5 instructions show. Recently I switched to putting the same amount on, then spread it over the cpu with my finger (in a baggie). Pulling paste from the center drop outward...

well what I want to do is flash the bios of my Asus P5W DH Delus from v502 to v802 so that I can post with my E6600 core2duo. The only system I have available to do the flash is my Asus P4C800 Deluxe. The P5W DH is a 8Mbit rom, the P4C800 is a 4Mbit rom. I ordered a new bios chip from asus...

What will happen? I've read the bios really only uses a fraction of the available rom... will it work at all? or will memory addresses get f'd royally? Thanks, N

Smaller devices = less inherent resistance = cooler.

Here's a fun mod for your mobo chipset. basically take off all the mobo heatsinks and AS5 'em. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=106563

The running theories are 1) this mod is negated by the retail bios, or 2) the intel rep had no idea what he was talking about. still very bizzare, why would he say it lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7kAIsZE9MU

UPDATE: video of the intel rep saying "use silver paint" ... "to unlock any core 2 duo".. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7kAIsZE9MU ----- Found this rumor on the xs forums... appearantly an intel rep at quakecon said that the multiplier on the core 2 duo chips with locked multi's could...

couple things 1. stable should be green, (make unstable color red) 2. remove any results from ES chips, they arent very useful otherwise i like it a lot.

from a previous thread on the ninja.

It's kinda hard when you edit every post and reply you've made in this thread.

This has nothing to do with jealousy. A lot of enthusiasts, including myself, can easily afford a x6800, we just can't justify it. If it was twice the performance for it's double cost, I would 100% agree. But it's not. it's 2x and 3x the cost for 1.2x and 1.1x the performance. I...

No seriously! Why would you by a honda accord if you can afford a ferrari??? so bizzaro! The ferrari goes 50mph faster... is it worth the +$250k? Maybe if you're epeen is the most important thing in life. So why do people buy the middle road cpu's when they could afford x-treme-sauce cpus...

QFT. LOL.

Here is my favorite: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112099 Nice and simple. Tons of airflow. All 120mm fans. Decent price. N Edit: oops forgot you wanted a side window. oh well.

This HS is a b!tch to install. It was the first clip-in HS I've had, and wow I'm not a fan. I ended up bending all the top fins inadvertently from pressing down so hard to keep it from lifting off the past while I was clipping it in. And even then I felt it move around way to much. It...

Ok so this may be a stupid question but... what is the benefit of a higher multiplier? Does it just oc the pipelines more but with less stress on the FSB? Or is there something else?

X6800 does break the budget. This thread is about E6600 vs E6700.

would like to see more results here. /bump

yes yes, but I said I'm not very concerned with the price difference (I'm not personally paying yay :D). I dont care if you can oc up to stock of a more expensive chip.

The reviews I've seen thus far show that the E6600 actually overclocks significantly higher than the E6700 (by ~500MHz). Is this right? E6600 has a 9x multiplier, while the E6700 has a 10x multiplier. Does this cause the E6600 to oc "easier" and ultimately reach higher performance? Is there...

1) reboot, go into your asus bios 2) find the jumperfree settings 3) fraise your FSB speed (small amount) reboot 4) boot up windows and run a benchmark or something 5) if you system crashes or gets a benchmark/torture test error, lower you FSB or try raising the CPU voltage slightly 6)...

Bumping, sorry =] only time I swear. Anyone have experience with 1U rackmounts??

Is this currently possible? Maybe just build from a standard conroe mobo with integrated vid card (any of these out yet?). Just curious, it's something i'd like to try.

Hi, this is my first time building a 1U server for a rack, built I've built several tower systems. I want to build a conroe 1U system, but I have some questions about space and sizes... - Will a standard mobo (like the Asus P5W DH) fit in a standard 1U casing? - Will standard RAM ships (like...

Wow that is surprisingly close to what I am about to order. My question though is where did you order you Asus P5W DH? I can't find anywhere that has it in stock let alone even has it. -N

Where the heck can I order a Asus P5W DH?? No one seems to have them at all or in stock.

Anyone know a good site to pick up the Asus P5W DH board at? Preferably with them in-stock :). For some reason I'm having a hell of a time finding one. -N

Hi, my Conroe E6700 is inc and I'm planning to OC as much as possible. It's been a few years since I built a system and I am wondering what the most OC friendly (most tweaks and best results) is currently out there. I really liked my old Asus 775 delux, and I'm considering the P5W DH for the...

So i've decided on either the Zalman 9500 or the Scythe Ninja for air cooling my conroe, and wanted some final advice from people here before I make the purchase. My preference is towards the zalman for easier (and more compatible) installation, but if there is a HS with signicantly higher...
