SM17 had some downtime

The bearing on the 80mm fan on the heatsink gave out. Apparently she's a bit of a fan monster as that's the third fan to bite the dust on her. Unfortunately the overheating caused a couple of corrupted units and I was building 3 computers this weekend so it took me a while to notice. She's got a new 80mm now and everything should be smooth sailing.

I also got the chance to tweak a couple of my machines (ie overclock a lot more) that had been at stock for a couple months while I was busy. I've added about 2.0 GHz (i know that's bad math) of AMD folding power and hopefully I'll get 2 more part time XP-M's @ 2.5 G back online soon.

    I've got tons of old sunons. They're super loud but my computer room currently has 7 computers running 24/7 so its already loud. Thanks though :).
