I think you should keep you kit simple, powering two motherboards with one PSU is probably not a good idea. If you want to save on space and electricity use dual processor clients. You should use the fastest machine you have for the server with at least 256MB ram. The clients could run with only 64M...

About 35% more

Wait till you see the other side.... .

You will find details on how to setup such a farm in this thread.

A new beta avaliable.

You do realise (according to your sig.) you are NOT currently folding for SPCR .

You should enter team 31574 if you wish to fold for SPCR .

You probably want to stay away from those, they are tinker core and takes around 38 hours on a XP2200 to complete a WU. A 51 point gormac core WU would take ~18-19 hours on the same machine.

Prices for Boxed Pentium M 1.6GHz are around $350. $233 for 1.3GHz. emjembedded.com's prices are waaaaay overpriced for Pentium M CPU's. Do boxed Pentium M processors come with a HSF?

What type of motherboard and case do you have?

You may get away with passive cooling if you had a case like this and the 6000alcu.

I use 2 coolermaster Xdream with panaflos at 5V to cool a dual P3 1G. It is probably cheaper to get the fairly new thermaltake silent boost at £15 from ww.dabs.com. Just make sure you have the room to fit these fans, they are big.

It probably would work fine if the systems power requirements are low. MikeC reported no problems on his system ~133W under load.

Kostik, my apologizes for using this unorthodox method of attracting your attention but the fish made a mess of translating your review on the nexus 3500SE. Can you give a short conclusion on this PSU, I interested in knowing if this PSU is louder than a dual fan enermax 350W PSU under load. Thanks ...

CharlieChan has an FT that he is happy with The SS300FT is in a system with very low power requirements ~100W AC under load (folding@home). The SS300FT replaced a qtechnology 300W PSU so my definition of quiet may not be the same as yours. I tried the PSU in a dual athlon MP2200+ and it is louder t...

Hmm -- missed this thread before. You guys have seen my Kamakaze review by now; I am currently working on one of the Heatlane Zen. Are you reviewing the NCU1000? When would it be ready? I am considering buying the NCU1000 but would like to read your review before commiting - it is more expensive th...

I have a system with only the PSU as the exhaust fan. It is a P4 2.4G cooled by a zalman 7000Alcu@5V in a midi case with a seasonic SS300FT. I forgot what the idle temps are but it is currently at 52/39 with folding@home running 24/7. Check the thread on the seasonic SS300FT as a few people have had...

Sorry for causing part of the confusion, I did not read the link post by halcyon before posting my reply. silvervarg: I agreed with your analysis of the current technology avaliable to slow CPUs down.

No I mean CPU throttle, I can set the CPU throttle to kick in 51oC instead of intels 70oC.

The fujitsu-siemens P4 motherboards has had dynamic thermal throttle for a number of years. I have a D1527 running a P4 2.0G. It is possible to dynamically set the thermal throttle from 51oC to 70oC. The CPU fan can be set to stop and does not start until CPU temp reach 55oC. At idle the CPU fan doe...

I have the same PSU in a P4 2.4G. The power meter registers 113W when running burnP6, the zalman 7000Alcu @ 1740rpm is the loudest component in the system.

What does a "decoupled" fan mean?

The fan is mounted using these http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/product.php?view=2403 so vibration hence noise from the fan is reduced.

The fan is a Yate-Loon D12SM-12, the fan controler is - from what I can tell - linear. I have notice the linear response from their comparison chart. I was worry enough to purchase a wattage meter to measure the power consumption of my system, currently ~115W whilst typing this reply and folding@ho...

I was going to by one to replace my 2 year Qtechnology 300W PSU from these people http://www.silentpcshop.nl/NX3500.asp .
