Last September we bought four new systems from www.monarchcomputer.com
Case: AIC RMC1Q (Black) 1U Rack Case
Motherboard: Tyan Thunder K7X (S2468GN) 760-MPX DDR
Processor: Dual AMD Athlon MP 2000+ 266FSB
HSF: Dynatron DC1206BM-L/610-P-CU Heatsink / Fan (AMD)
Memory: 2GB DDR REG ECC
Hard Drive: Western Digital 40 GB 7200
OS: RedHat (Linux)
As of this past Saturday all four systems have failed on us.
The first server blew when a HSF failed causing CPU socket two to die.
I really never did get a reason why the second server failed.
The third died the same way the first did.
We have not looked at or sent the last one back to Monarch yet to see what has happened to it.
Monarch has been pretty good in dealing with us and sending the systems back, but the problem is one of the systems that have been sent back has also failed for a second time within the past month. So, I guess I'm wondering if they are only fixing what is broke and not looking for a deeper problem or if there is something someone can tell me about the above configuration that would lead them to believe there is a design problem.
It is costing us money in downtime and shipping costs and I'm sure that Monarch has their costs in parts, laber, and shipping costs. So, if it is something like "Bad choice in MB", "Bad choice in case", "Add more fans", "Get a different HSF" then we can do that and move on.
Thanks.
