Very Computer

Unfortunately I don't think it is avaiable for opteron, but maybe it would
be possible to build an adapter? There are also different reviews of this
cooling device on the net.

It's a slot 370. I put a P3 1000 in, and clocked it back to 750MHz.
I am running a copper heat sink and no cpu fan, and temperature is
fine (38C and steady in the bios, which runs the cpu hard).

Only problem is that cpufreq doesn't yet have a driver for this and
acpi sees processor but not temperature. Have to wait a bit.

I stuck in only 128M of memory, but I will put in more. I turned off
all swap, set bdflush to not age pages for the max time, mounted
all file systems async and noatime, and went through syslog making
every entry async (apache needs torturing too). Then I set the ide
disk to spindown after 5s. It spends about 5m idle, then spins up -
I haven't found what's tickling it yet. Maybe cron or the software
watchdog.

  Make sure your case is WELL ventilated, and you should be set.  Use 120mm
fans for ventilation, not 80's.

Good luck.

I don't think that any of those exist just yet.  There are ATX Opteron
boards, Extended ATX motherboards, and SSI motherboards, but as far as
I can see, none that would be smaller.

So, yes, it is very possible to get a quiet Opteron setup.

speaking for myself I'd settle for nothing less than a human monitored 24
hour full load burn in under adverse ambient conditions if I was going to
trust expensive new kit (and the apps likely to require it) to what is
after all one of the cheapest components in a new box.
