State Of The Art MP - Few Remaining Tech Questions: RAID, Blu-Ray, SSD, GFX

While there is probably a guide around somewhere, there may be problems with the heatsinks per use of.. "naked" processors? I remember something about this, but not exactly what. Its driving me nuts, and I know that its an important difference!

I think that's only the quad tho right? AFAIK the octad CPUs have the HIS and aren't "naked". Woo! Naked...

Tesselator is dead on if you order in volume! Not the exact same drive, but one that replaced it in the Newegg store. There are other 1.5 TB drives, obviously, but methinks that is somewhat similar to what Tesselator was testing with.

You don't need to order in bulk. Just stay away from the "famous" sites who think they have the right to charge more. Here's four shops with it for under $100:

D'oh! I'm sorry about that, I should have checked around before dropping a link to Newegg. I guess it was because I was just looking around the other day

No prob-a-lem-o bro. It's all good. Besides if he's smart he'll search for it on his own anyway.

Upgrading the 2009 8 core CPUs:

They managed to kill one CPU and the logic board with their first try.

One problem to trying to sell the stock CPU's is that they are bare and due to that may have a limited market.

You've got it backwards - the quads are off the shelf CPUs and the octos are the special 'naked' ones. (typo corrected)

Anyway, if i got it backwards they can just reverse my post to figure out what you meant.


Thanks for the correction. I thought I might have had it switched around. Thanks!
