*Update*Extremely hot chipset on the H8SGL-F, need help :/
I realized I had not updated this when I had it sorted, sorry bout that.
My fans were swapped for
2x Yate Loon front intake &
1x Yate Loon exhaust.
It was a good move to go with those, I folded for
a few hours to double check.
The chipset heatsink still concerned me when i considered
the RAID card and the quad Intel Ethernet card(which is still quite warm.
I bit the bullet and sprung for an Enzotech SLF-40 LP Copper heatsink(active)
Patrick suggested early on to get a fan on it but I
finally found this assembly and now its gravy!
I also collected way too many tiny chipset fans during this process : P
If you have this board I highly suggest this particular
heatsink if your not working with a server pedestal case
*Old*
I finally put together an Opteron box with the following basic SPECs:
Opteron 6234
H8SGL-F
Noctua NH-U9DO w/pwm
650w OCZ Modular
In the Fractal Arc Midi R2.
*Old*
2x stock Fractal Intake fans 140mm
1x stock Fractal Intake 140mm
1x Lepa 140mm pwm Exhaust
*OLD*
The chipset temps stay upward at 60-70c
and I have no idea why this is. I called SuperMicro
and they said I needed a fan blowing directly on
the chip sets. This was news to me as I thought this was a go to workstation board. What am I doing wrong?
