you need airflow for cooling the Zalman,
and so you will need fan's inside a (closed)
case.............

Hello, my bp6 is passive cooled, and it works fine with two 466Mhz Celli's. Pictures are present in the Pic.-Gallery (http://www.bp6.com/board/album_personal.php?user_id=1095) the setup allows CPU-temps between 32°-42°, not overclocked. and i would never overclock servers. to make em realy faster (a...

for testing cpu-teperature i have installed gentoo-linux, and read out the temp with lm-sensors. the results are: 32°C per CPU at idle or less then 25% cpuload 42°C " " after compiling xfree in 7h at one Job (60% cpuload) and (the reason for me to change the al-block inside to cooper) 52°C per CPU a...

now, the build of my passive cooled bp6-Box is nearly finished.
so you can have a look at it, in the (personal)Picture Gallery here.

the case is 40X40x13,2 cm big, and can contain a bp6 (lol) ,5 Hard-Disks,
a 51/4"-Drive but no floppy.
so it will be used as fileserver, ... ........better ideas?

the last week i have tested gentoo 1.4 the first time and compared it with debian woody (not native, a lot of backports too), on my passive cooled bp6(2x466Mhz / 640MB Ram) and an Asus a7v600 (xp2000 / 512MB) . Gentoo works much faster (and less stable). so i build avi's on gentoo 15% faster with tr...

if you compiled the Kernel with the"Boot off-board chipsets first support" , it could be the reason.
cause normaly the Promise-Controler is detected first,

have fun
