It's been a while since I built built my PC and it's about time for an
upgrade. I plan on building a dual processor Opteron system based on the Tyan n6650W motherboard. I am planning on installing only one CPU at this time (an Opteron 2210). I'll wait for the quad-core Opterons later this year and then put two of them in this system. I am not planning on overclocking. The biggest problem I've run into - finding a quite & good CPU cooler for this system. There are coolers available, but they're 55 dB or more. Yuck! The Cooler Master Mars is supposed to work, but the reviews for it are marginal at best & it does not come with a backplate. I'm worried about damaging a $400+ mobo (not to mention the CPU) with a poor cooler. Any suggestions? K ------- It's about time to replace those P-III's |
