Hope the new year is going well for all of you.

I've googled and found a few spots but no hard information or pics.

For the leftover M2R owners out there is Aftermarket cooling of the NB worth it?

IF so which cooler(s) did you all use?

Thanks in advance.

I would also like to know, I bought the akasa blue LED chipset cooler thing and that was the biggest waste of money ever.. fuking thing fell off after temps soared to ~80 degrees.

Then bought the swiftech NB cooler... which didnt fit.

what waterblocks fit?

cheers

This is the root of my question.

Oese. IF you used the Anfi-tec blocks, I don't see one for Mosfets (although I didn't look that hard) so...........

Did you use aftermarked coolers for all three (MOSfets/NB/SB)?

Did you cut the "pipes" and just cool the NB?

I DO have a 790FXB M2RSH and I wound up just cutting the pipe connecting to the NB and putting a TT HR-05 IFX on it. Hasn't been a problem so far (+1 YR)

But the "Transpiper System" connects mosfets to NB to SB and thus if IF I cut the pipes to the NB and leave the others alone would it matter?

2010-02-23 BIOS is up.

[takealready]

Does anybody know if there's a BIOS (either DFI or homemade) that supports the new 6-Core Opterons? Also, if there is a BIOS that supports it, will the 6 core opterons work with DDR2-800?

Thanks for your help in advance.

[Oese]

i dont think there is a bios yet..

2010-02-23 BIOS is up.

Will this bios help with my SB600 raid working?????


I have no F4 option to set it up, unless I am doing something wrong.......

I have the CTRL-F, then theres 4 options, but I see nothing to actually set it up......


(I sure will feel silly if I am doing this wrong.....)

I'm on the very latest BIOS & the option do show up & have done so few quite some time with the various versions.

You do have both set to RAID ?

[Slagathor]

I have the sb600 set for raid, do I need the silicon image set to raid also???


When the 600 controller comes up, it detects the drives, then it has a ctrl-f option, in the raid options, I have 4 options, nothing to set up the raid, just look at the drive properties.....

No you don't need the silicon set.

option 1 or 2 is what you need to set up the drives its been a while since i had to configure.

[Slagathor]

Heres the options I got with the CTRL-F4 raid option bios.....
Thanks for anymore help in advance.....
