Dispatcher...it is not the heat outside the server...it is the heat AT the harddrives and AT the CPUs and AT the RAM, one major thing everyone forgets as well....AT the PSU.... .. .If you ever get hold of manuals, only up to 25 degrees C is 100% performance possible. RAM, CPU and harddrives are often close to 50 degrees, inside the PSU it is often boiling hot as this device is also used to extract the air from the cabinet. . .. .The "old" server should not collapse at all with just running this board.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />
