I know I already mentioned this last september, but I have now finally ordered all the components to replace/upgrade my little Linux server. The final component list is as follows:
|
CPU |
|
|
Cabinet |
|
|
HDD |
|
|
CPU cooler |
|
|
PSU |
|
|
Motherboard |
|
|
RAM |
GEIL Black Dragon 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR2 PC2 6400 800Mhz 5-5-5-15 /8-Layer PCB with LED Retail |
|
DVD-R/W |
Sony Nec Optiarc DVD+-R/ RW/ DL AD-7220S-0B SATA +22X8X12X -22X6X12X BULK BLACK |
The parts could arrive as early as tomorrow, so hopefully I get some time this weekend. And I also still have to make the final choice between KVM, VirtualBox & VMware… Most likely I go for KVM + virt-manager. I guess I will pay a last visit to the Virtual Machine forums to double-check my facts.

My board is running fine, so far… I’m currently not checking any NB temps (I guess I can see them in BIOS?), only CPU & HD.
HD’s hover nicely between 27-31C, CPU cores are 31-43C (but 1 core sticks at 45C continuously…)
Hi there
Found your blog by random, was just wondering if you had any problems with your build?
I recently built a pc with the same board and ram and suffered regular bsod’s and general system instability issues. Now I just use the 4 GB of ram which is really frustrating!
Also how are your Northbridge temps? My NB idles at 40 degrees! Had to buy a better NB heat sink which brought it down to 25 degrees.
Cheers

Yeah I am finding similar temperatures with my CPU and hard disc. I used a 3rd party program to check my Northbridge temperatures, I’m sure you can find one on Linux. To be honest I think vista 64 is my problem. Maybe switching to Linux is a better idea?
Switching to Linux is ALWAYS a better idea!
Thanks for your help Evert, Think im going to change my rig to a linux system. And may i say well done for keeping a superb blog!
