If you using Windows OS you can use ICH10 (firmware) RAID controller option.From top left, clockwise: Not Tubular by Kirby859 (6th place, 15.75/20), The Untold Story by SuperMIC (2nd place, 17.63/20), Big Boo's Rainbow Road by Nwolf (4th place, 16.81/20), Super Mario Adventure: The Mirror Island by ~MP3 Amplifier~ and Asterocrat (3rd place, 17.38/20), Yoshi Mania by -BY (5th place, 16.18/20). Windows Server 2008R2, 2012R2, WIndows8.1 have no issues with the board.
Intel (ICH10) RAID controller (firmware) not going to be recognized even if it can be configured from controller BIOS, so, put controller in AHCI mode for non Windows OSes.
Naturally, on install startup needed to adjust booting options (Shift+O and ignoreHeadless=True). Running ESXi 5.5 on it with slightly modified kernel (esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE ignoreHeadless). I'm using one 80mm 4 wire connector fan to cool South Bridge and memory at once. Aluminum colored large square heat-sink between the memory slots for CPU #2 and the network sockets. Make sure to have some cooler on the South Bridge. attached with the small bolts through the spacers to the piece of plywood on the wall in the basement :)ģ. I have it installed in "early Google" style i.e. It seams not a big issue and depends on your case arrangement. If you have all 12 slots occupied make sure to have two small fans to cool the memory. If you are using standard blade heat sink for LGA1366 make sure that you install memory for CPU #1 1 first, otherwise it wouldn't be possible because of the DIMMs proximity to the socket.Ģ. Need to be careful with the height of the heat-sink platform because DIMMs are very close to the socket and it may get in a way and not fit properly.ġ. With some caution try to get something like GAMMAXX 300. Usually $5-15$ each from local surplus store or eBay.Ĭ. Get it replaced completely, with the cooler from the boxed version of Xeon processor for LGA1366 socket. If you have original ones, you can try to "Frankenstein" 80mm or "boxed" cooler fan on it (that what I did at the moment).ī.
Pin out described in detail in the user manual.Ī. Using standard computer supply Cooler Master 550W with modified motherboard PS connector. With the current BIOS board was fully functional but IPMI module wasn't configurable. Running it with dual Quad Core Xeon X5570 2.93GHz 8M cache 96Gb RAM and Dell Perc6/i SAS controller. Cheap and reliable board for your home computer labĬheap and reliable board for your home computer lab with excellent user manual.
