> As in contradiction to what Mark Hahn says - it needs active cooling. if anyone cares: a dimm dissipates roughly 2W, depending on generation, whether it's LV, number of devices, etc. one of those duplex 14krpm fans is typically rated at about 12W.
in a mainstream server, each CPU will dissipate around 100W. typical SATA disks, about 5W. since servers normally have "platinum" plus80 ratings these days, the PSU would need to dissipate ~30W. NICs are normally <= 8W. so even a 1W device needs some airflow, but it's mostly CPUs that count. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
