Hey guys I was wondering if there was a way to cool down this CPU passive. Is Rajinitek Ereboros Black Core enough?

Xeon X3470 should be good for the kind of workload you described. However it does not have integrated graphics. So keep in mind to throw in some cheap, fanless graphics card like GT 1030. Personally I would choose a cpu with integrated graphics over ECC to make this server run cooler and...

I've made and alternative build using non-server parts and replaces stock cooler with a fanless one (http://www.raijintek.com/en/products_detail.php?ProductID=21) which should work since i3-8100 have low TDP. It is also cheaper where I live (just need to wait until RAM prices fall down)...

I want to make a separate machine and utilize it as a server for VG hosting (mostly Space Engineers and Minecraft). I want a compact design since I don't have much space in my room. I also want this server to be as silient as possible since this is probably going to run 24/7 and I dont want to...

Cant find the proof of purchase for any of them ;( EDIT: I found what appears to be the cheapest CPU supported by this MB (Celeron G3900). I'll see if I can get one and test if the problem lies in CPU. I handled the MB with utmost care (like every other build I did), installed the cpu, cooler...

Hi. Today I decided to start building my PC which will replace my 3 years old pre-build one. I assembled it without drives and external graphics card since I dont have one yet. When I pressed the power button on the case the CPU fan spinned and the back case fan lighted up for about 3 seconds...
