Are you any further ahead with your original RAID 0 setup? I've just got myself a 160GB SSD so I'm now trying to achieve my original goal of OS on SSD plus 2x 1GB Spinpoints, hopefully with all 3 drives on RAID 0 or just the Spinpoints on RAID 0. Still trying to find out if the first option is...

Thanks for the links - that's my homework for tonight sorted... ;-)

OK, so I clicked the SMP link in Post#5 but got 'Error 404 - Not found'. Can someone point me in the right direction for a good description of this Folding@home and the SMP setup. Thanks.

Anyone else running a similar setup to mine? HP xw6600 Workstation Intel Quad E5440 @ 2.83GHz with stock HP heatsink/fan (2nd CPU and heatsink/fan to be added soon) 8 x 1GB RAM ATI FireGL V7700 512MB Win 7 Ultimate, 64 bit I could do with some Speedfan data to make comparisons with my...

And I still need advice on Speedfan and getting it set up on my workstation.

That's good news - can I come out of hiding now? :lol: I don't suppose, being an Intel insider, you could give me any more info on these processors, or could find out more than I could myself? I reckon you must have access to much more info than any of us mere mortals... Anyway, I think...

And thanks for the info - I've just read a little more on these, maybe I should have done it before I bought them.

Well I bought them (2) in good faith, and for hard cash - obviously without any prior knowledge of the link you directed me to, or the fact that they should not be sold. I assume that I am OK using them as they are already in my posession and paid for...?

Does anyone have experience of using Speedfan with a HP setup (limited access/locked BIOS etc.)? I've just replaced the original E5405 with a Xeon Quad E5440, Intel Confidential, Q3HE ES. Now the CPU fan runs at full speed and theres no way to control it in BIOS. I have read that ES CPU's are...

Not sure if this is the right section for this thread so if I'm in the wrong place just let me know and I will move it. I recently purchased a used HP Workstation with the intention of installing some major upgrades. Today I picked up 2x CPUs and a brand new graphics card. These are all...

Still looking for this....

Yep, marvellous... But, at times, a PITA

Almost certainly due to very high current draw coupled with bad contact between the plug and socket pins. First you need to make sure the PSU output (W) is up to par and the output is more than enough for your setup. Next, with reference to the socket you pictured, get a pair of small thin...

Marvellous - those on Amazon UK are located in Germany... FFS
