Hi Patrick, I would like to join the pool please!

I've also found irregularities with online databases of CPU benchmarks. If you look at the Passmark website for these cpus, you get: E5-2667v3 = 16125 (overall score) 2048 (single thread) E5-2640v3 = 14117 (overall score) 1959 (single thread) Which seems a little more like we should expect...

Yes, I found it surprising too until I found a few posts on overclockers forums where people talk about the benefits to investing in a stronger rear fan. I confirmed it on both my 3u and 4u build getting around 4 deg drop just from upgrading the rear fans. I think it has something to do with...

Noctua D9DX i4 3u is perfect for 3u chassis, and actually cools better than the Supermicro/Intel 2u Active-cooler screamers.
