    C6100 Fan speed / FCB

    Thanks for your replys. I don't really want to replace the fans, as i assume i'd have to buy 4 more fans... although it probably would be quieter. I'm going to try to lower the RPM of the fans, but i'm not too sure if I would be successful. Would it be possible to cut the wires off of the...

    C6100 Fan speed / FCB

    (tldr at bottom) I'm currently using my C6100 as my 'desktop PC' and as you all know.. The fans on them are very powerful and quite loud. Sometimes after the C6100 has been running for about an hour or so... the fans will drop down to 1/4 or 1/2 speed.. and the noise will be 'bareable' So I...

    Dell C6100 i7 CPU compatibility

    Hi I have a C6100, and I was wondering on one of the nodes... if I changed the BOTH CPUs to i7 920 (still LGA 1366) should they both be compatible ? Intel i7 920 have CPU benchmark of about 4500.... I could also get 2x xeon E5645 that have a CPU benchmark rating of about 6500 If I was...

    C6100 CPU compatibility?

    Many thanks for your reply ! If I try the E5645 in CPU 0 and have no CPU in CPU 1, will that still work with only one CPU? Only reason I asked is I had the same no boot issue when I tried to boot from 1x E5506

    C6100 'cluster' with ESXi?

    After a bit of searching, I came across this thread Watercooled single C6100 node build log. He mentions a user called 'solid' having made a thread about making a c6100 run out of chassis... but I cannot find this thread; can someone link me to it ?

    C6100 'cluster' with ESXi?

    As long as I know its possible, I will attempt myself soon. If possible can you try to link the thread here ? As my attempt would involves stripping out the chassis, then seeing how many components i can remove whilst still keeing it running (or which components can be modified) & then AFTER...
