Oh, I see well looks like your set to go. I wish you nothing but good luck with getting all your parts in and getting your new server up. Came a long way in this thread, from a passive system, to a pretty darn good system for the money, as well as a huge upgrade from your old server.
well if your not going to overclock then go with the 2000+ but if you want to overclock even a little then go with the 1700+ i bet that the 1700+ will run 2000+ at stock vcore.
Originally posted by NightShade737 Well I am intending on dropping the VCore to start with anyway, and secondly, I highly doubt it will be a B core anyway.
NS
just go with the 2000+ i dont see you overclocking any time soon.
I wouldn't even oc with this system anyway. your airflow isn't going to be the best for overclocking, and you will be dropping the vcore like you said.
1700+ you want a B core because they coe in lower voltages, as low as 1.5 volts, try to get something with a heat pipe maybe, this acts as a small pahse chnage systemn and should allow you to cool effectively and without the need of a fan a bigger heatsink is better, try to get the biggest possible, all copper heat sink you can, you could possibly even lower the voltage and maybe downclock it a little if, voltage decrease will make biggest diffference to temp, maybe try to get a mobile processor, these require even less voltage
20% increase in voltage is about a 50% increase in heat (in watts)
Item: Coolermaster HAC-V81 XDream Heatsink & Fan SKT A Upto Xp2800 Speed Adjustment
Qty: 1
Cost: 7.30
Item: Asus A7N266-VM-SE Skt A MATX Sound Lan
Qty: 1
Cost: 36.30
The ASUS has a GF2 built in btw, its an nForce board.
B-Types are hard to find over here, and the companies that specifically sell them charge more for them anyway, which isnt nice.
I got me an XP2000 with a coolermaster 'silent' CPU, and it is silent, u cant hear it at all when its in the case. The Xdream should do you fine, I assume it can go as quite as mine.

How many 3.5" bays you got internal? Seems like things will get pretty tight in their, if you start adding a lot of hard drives and stuff.
