Hello. Power supply is Antec Smartpower 2.0 500 watt ATX. I put two 88mm exhaust fans right over the card and the video still crapped out, polygonal tears, errors... and froze up only a few minutes in. I already RMA'ed the card back to newegg (<3). This is the second 6600GT I have sent...

Much appreciated. Ambient temp in the room has dropped and the CPU is now hovering around 39-40 C... 46C under load. Seems to be running okay now; strange. Perhaps some Arctic Silver on the gfx might help as well.

Hello to all again. The weather around here for the first time warmed up to around 90 degrees F. According to my temp monitoring program my CPU is idling around 42-45 degrees C and when I try to play games it goes as high as 51 C which I think is quite bad. Every other game is fine but when I...

I guess what I'm really asking is, what SHOULD the load temp be for a stock Opteron 250 with a stock HSF? It is quite possible on its trip to the DC that it could have gotten damaged and the HSF is somewhat out of kilter...

No overclocking. CPU is stock speed @ ~2.4Ghz.

that 64 degrees C is a bit high for this processor. Currently using Speedfan to detect temps. The processors are Opteron 250's @ .90 nm Troy core. They are using stock HSF since I didn't want to break my warranty yet. I'm thinking I will need to get new coolers cause the temp for CPU 1 is...

Mobo is the Tyan Tiger S2875. I've looked at a couple Iwill's... have linky?

heh, I'm interested in the more upscale dual-core 2xx series in order to do the job and even one costs a lot of $$$$$$. Not looking to break the bank here. This setup is going to remain for a year (since it will be co-located) so what's the point of going all out on even higher-end SC opterons...

Aye, they're both going on a dual-processor mobo. ;)

I have made my final decisions on the type of components for my box, but I have just found out that AMD makes Opterons in Troy Core. From what I understand they are .90nm and also include SSE3 instruction sets, correct? Am I to guess going with the Troy core (248 series, single core) is the...

Anyone have this mobo? I know it's not dual core ready as soon as you get it out of the box, but I wonder if a bios update would eventually fix that. I didn't see see anything about it on their site. Also, any other comments on this board? From what I hear it seems to be solid board for...

No. This is a dedicated server for serving the game only.

I was tending to lean towards the opterons. I figured this next system would cost some $$$$. I'll have to get new everything. Any comments on a particular mobo? I've been looking at the Tyan Tiger K8W 8151 which is ATX form factor mostly because it would fit in my current case. The price...
