I would say that a combination of disk controller function coupled with modern file systems would effectively manage and mitigate bit errors now.
Well, the cooling on the Intel board probably doesn't work the way you think it does. It uses a close loop control system for the fan RPM. The target for the CPU temp is 80-82C. Until the CPU gets that hot the fan will not ramp from their idle speed at all. In my testing with a 65F ambient temp the fans will just barely speed up from the lowest idle speed under that condition with 100% CPU load using AVX instructions. I modified the .sdr file that controls the target temps for the close loop system to get the CPUs to stay a little more than 20C cooler. Now the fans ramp to about 50% PWM duty under full load.How are the temps/noise under load? Are the 2 fan wall fans + air shroud enough to keep both processors cool enough?
Yes they are. I haven't moded the SDR file like stereodude, but like he said the unit is quiet under normal ops. When the unit first power on it goes full cycle on all fans and it get loud it also runs full fans when the case is open. The fans have enough force that it feels like a large floor fan when blowing on full cycle.How are the temps/noise under load?

Would you happen to have any idle power measurements? I'm thinking of making the same setup, and I would like to compare the power usage to my current build.Yes they are.

I got it from ebay seller kalleyomalley. I got a good deal because im local so i didnt have to pay shipping and they didnt get pp fees. If they have product still left they usually have best offer on it so you can get it in the 200 range maybe even cheaper. the good deals link for e5 cpus have some average prices people got the cases for.I'm going through the process of building a system very similar to yours. Still collecting all the components. Do you mind if I ask where you purchased the case and for how much? I've ordered a Phanteks Enthoo Pro and a power supply but I'm reconsidering after seeing your post here.
Also, regarding the IPMI, is that extra module required for KVM and mounting ISOs? I have an extra Intel NIC I could put in the machine, but I'd like the full functionality of the IPMI. Just wondering if I have to purchase an extra module for that.
What are your average CPU temps like with the passive coolers?
Nice build! I am considering something similar. Can you please describe the BMC issues you had and how they were resolved?Build’s Name: TBD
3-25-16: Update: I got it all together now. Really nice case, I'm happy with it. Super quiet now with latest bios updates. I did run into issues with BMC, but got it resolved. I also ended up ordering full RMM4 module so will most likely sell the rmm4 lite. Now im testing out and deciding storage.
Thanks! I been enjoying it. Only 1/3 of capacity being used so far. I have a lot of head room to growNice build! I am considering something similar. Can you please describe the BMC issues you had and how they were resolved?
