Hey Lads,
Didn't want to necro the SR-2 owner's thread so decided to post my own.
If anyone with previous experience with these boards could enlighten me on a couple of things I would be most appreciative.
1. I managed to land some cheap x5670's paired up ready for the board. Would these work fine with 12x4gb ecc 1333mhz sticks?.
2. I will be running an old nvidia card as this will only be a games server and not a gaming rig. This running alongside a 2-port pci-e raid0 card wouldn't overheat the chip-set would it? As I heard they're notorious for requiring water if multiple video cards are used and was unsure if a raid card could have the same effect.
3. I'll be running the cpu's under either dual corsair h80's or h115's, with a 1000w PSU, would this be enough juice at gold rating to reliably keep it running 24/7 for at least a year.
I only ask because I want to keep a gaming community happy and these boards made me squeal when I first saw them released. If needed I already have most of a loop ready if a custom loop is requred, bar the cpu blocks.
Cheers in advance for any feedback and input.
