    Socket 604 Cooling Solution

    I have a SuperMicro X5DPA dual CPU Socket 604 motherboard which works well except for the really loud CPU cooling fans. They are Thermaltake TT and run at about 6000 RPM so really annoying. Surely there must be adapters to use more modern coolers that are less noisy. I'm using the fastest CPUs available on this board 3.06 GHz.

    I'm thinking of the 775 tower type coolers. This board has 3-pin fans so the board has no influence on the fan speed.

    Any ideas? Thanks for this.

    I use LGA771 coolers for the all the time. The issue you can run into is the bottom plates for LGA771 sockets interfering with SMT components on the underside of the socket604. The fix is to not use the bottom plates, and instead use a nut & flat washer to attach the sink. Far better options out there for 604 CPU cooling with LGA771 sinks.

      You can use a fan voltage control board. Just watch the temps

        Samsung R530 Bremen motherboard cooling
        by Ace Perception
        Hi,
        I'm wondering if anybody out there has much knowledge of Samsung Bremen motherboards.
        I've got a Samsung R530 which is about 10 years old, over the last 12 months it developed a worsening problem where when asked to do much work it would shut itself down. I had a good idea this was due to overheating which was confirmed by a temperature monitor programme which showed little balls of fire next to the various internal temperature readings. I could also prevent it shutting down if I placed a huge fan running at full speed in front of its air intake!
        So I went in pursuit of...

        Possible to convert eMMC Socket to a micro SD Card socket?
        by Isabella91
        I have seen many posts where the eMMC can be read via a SD card reader, however can the opposite be achieved?

        Read/Write a Micro SD Card from an eMMC Socket.

        I have a Motherboard with a Kingston BGA153 ball socket, using HS400 bus mode, which is 8bit, as Micro SD is usually 1bit or 4bit mode, I accept that a loss of speed in read/write will occur, but I would sill like to convert.

        Theoretically speaking, Im thinking if I hard solder DAT0-3 from eMMC to SD Card Reader, this should force 4-bit mode, or only DAT0 to force 1-bit mode.

        Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket not working.
        by warsztat
        Hello, Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket does not work. GH51G LA-L181P, 2x DDR4 RAM, both good, both work well in JDIMM2, neither works in JDIMM1. The laptop displays BIOS, when the JDIMM2 socket is occupied, you can run Linux on USB, then everything seems to work ok, there is internet access and you can browse the contents of the 512 GB SSD in Windows, but starting Windows ends with an eternal spinning circle, maybe there are corrupted files. When the RAM is inserted into the JDIMM1 socket, the laptop starts but there is no image and the downloaded current does not change and the output is ~2.25A....

        Liquid cooling?
        by Hondaman
        I hope my computer does not randomly reboot while typing this. My main system is the AsRock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard with the AMD 8150 chip. I am experiencing FREQUENT and RANDOM reboots once the system is used for a couple of hours (sometimes it reboots before I even get to the Win7/Linux Mint dual-boot screen). The problem MIGHT be the DRAM controller chip (I recently upgraded to the maximum 64 GB RAM). It also might be the VRM chips. I am using a typical aftermarket CPU cooler, which does NOT blow air DOWN onto the VRM heat sink.
