Gigabyte GA-G1 975X: Will a Turbo help the Pentium 4?

@marcreichman what's insane is that you can get that much compute in blades now as well

@anshelsag haha yeah, too late, clicked the wrong button :)

Will be doing power and perf comparison between the old and new configs over the coming weeks. For now, it's bedtime

That was high-end back in 2006 - 8 cores in a 4U box, now we have 12 in a 2U box

Finally carried our old DB server up to the lab: four socket, dual-core Opteron 880 based HP ProLiant DL585 http://t.co/ftyi8BPF

@ozym4ndias @wilshipley @pmod not really, not internal at least. here's a hint: http://t.co/iv6wXn7I :)

@RandomMegaBytes the 512GB drive won't actually update to the latest firmware, but the 128/256GB drives are very quick

@pmod IVB gives you the same memory bandwidth as SNB, likely see DDR3-1600 in mobile

@wilshipley @pmod remember with Ivy Bridge TDPs don't actually go down, in 2013 that will change though...

@wilshipley @pmod The Pro won't go away entirely, but we will see a trend towards thinner notebooks in general.

Turbo fans by bairjo on Monday, April 13, 2009

Can anyone tell me specifics on these fans? I need four new ones as they are failing. I can't seem to find information on these. I have not removed them yet but it does not look like they have a square mounting configuration like most fans. What is the voltage?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, there are very few of us, we tend to lurk in the shadows waiting for an FX-57 to drop out of the sky.... ;-> :-)

nightmare by noxipoo on Saturday, November 12, 2005

that mobo looks like something from my nightmares. here i am trying to reduce fans and use bigger ones with fanbuses to reduce noise and this thing comes with 4 tiny ones. wouldn't all those fans be useless if your case do not move air well? just blow around the hot air inside the case.

The noise level is okay, not as good as a fanless setup but so far not too bad. I will be conducting thermal tests with only the power supply running and a stock Intel heatsink/fan from a 820D to see how well the rear two fans exit air.

More like how much dog hair will the fans collect over the next week. ;-)

Thank you for the link.

Crossfir and X-fi ? by AndrzejPl on Friday, November 11, 2005

- We will be comparing the thermal characteristics of this system to Asus's 8-phase power and fanless cooper heat pipe technology in the near future -

Hi (as I'm new around here)...and a question. That Asus board is also 975x? :) cuz I'm rather keen on something less noisy then 4 60mm plastic fans. If I'd like a vacuum cleaner in a comp, I'd still stick to FX 5800 :). I'm really thinking of coming back to Intel, especially when Presler appears, but I don't want too much noise

And 2nd question. Is it possible to have two x1800Xl on crossfire, and also squeeze the X-fi card on that board (I pressume that other 975x boards will have same PCI-PCI-ex design?)
