As for heat, the 295 is a 285w card if I recall right. And my old 604 setup heated up my counter room about 5-10f at an idle. Oh an my crt pulls I think 175w or something like that.
when i read stuff like this i try to imagine how many hamsters on a wheel would be required to power this :>
300w for the CPUs maybe 285w for the gpu, alone this is a lot of power, 8 sticks of FB-Dimms, 6 10k rpm hdds and a server board. It adds up fast. And think how much more it will pull if I OC the system 😵
Something tells me I'll love the system until my first sweaty gaming session, then hate it when I get the power bill. 🤣
But there is always core2 xeons. I know with my 604 setup when gaming the room it's in can go from 70f to 85f. This will be maybe twice that? Something tells me I may go core2 down the road.
Edit:
Should get the board this weekend.
