That what I realised.
At £12 per heatsink and £3.50 per retention plate, and given the fact that I've got a spare pump and reservoir, I might as well just pay the extra 50p per CPU and £50 for a radiator.

I have an Dtek Whitewater block with K8 mounts for cheap if anyone else is rounding up blocks.
MrMojo made me feel generous :] Seeing as I'm not crunching atm (parents house, elec bill etc., usual excuses), i'll also offer an EK Wave silver-plated, acrylic top K8 block for shipping+~£5.. though I can't post it for a while (next weekend probably)
8 processors on one loop? To one 120.3 rad?
I doubt it.
Easy peasy.
If you don't mind the noise I guess. I wasn't sure how much a single MCR320 could handle, with quiet fans, and still decent temps... so I found 2 of them!

I'm slightly hard of hearing, which is quite handy when it comes to uber fans.Originally Posted by Sparky

Currently have 4 FFB1212EHE's running at 5v on this computer. I'm nowhere near deaf enough to have them at full pelt.
Would anybody be kind enough to measure the thickness of the backplates the board come with? I want to cut some spacers for mounting the board during this week.

Appologies for triple posting, but my Opteron's just arrived!
Eight 8346 HEs from the United States of America.
I'll take some snapshots, but be warned, I only have a camera phone.
8346s should be easy to cool.
they are very clsoe to the board, i.e. they only stick out a two or three mm

Anybody has a source for sub 30$ 8347, or sub 75$ 8360? All or nothing
8347's for $27 each from palm54@charter.net.
Many thanks. Should we strive for a condensed version of this thread? It might do us good, and it could help if there is another groupbuy for this mobo.
I think that would be a brilliant idea.
I know this has probably been asked somewhere in the previous 40 pages, but what what type of ram am I looking for exactly? and how much do I need on this board?
