I'm going to replace an AMD MB + CPU in an SM SC826 with Tyan S7012GM4NR / S7012GM4NR-B and 2 x Intel Xeon 5670. I wonder whether the 2x heatsinks SuperMicro SNK-P0038P will keep the CPU's cool enough to prevent any throttling?
Otherwise i'm thinking of of 2x active HSF SUPERMICRO SNK-P0040AP4, but much more pricey.
I/O shield doesn't follow the MB so i need to find it (searched eBay without luck).
Wonder how much thermal paste i'd need?
Other suggestions are also appreciated.
Here is the list:
Board: Tyan S7012GM4NR-B
CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon 5670
RAM: some used, but known to be good
HSF: SNK-P0038P (will this passive HSF keep Xeon 5670 cool enough?)
Adapter:Supermicro CBL084L Front Panel Connector 6"
Thermal past: ARCTIC MX-4 (4g) (need more tubes? ) how much do i need?
I/O shield: dunno where to get them or how to find the part no.
The manual for Tyan S7012 at http://www.tyan.com/manuals/S7012_UG_v1.1_06212012.pdf says:
. The mounting hole pattern of the S7012 matches the SSI EEB specification. Before continuing with installation, confirm that your chassis supports an SSI EEB motherboard.
I can't find info about SSI EEB for the SM SC826 2U chassis. Can anyone confirm whether this board will fit in or not?
TIA
