More on CPU specs of the ReadyNAS Pro
Hi all, Does anyone know what FSB speeds the ReadyNAS Pro motherboard supports. I have three "servers" that I'm trying to consolidate. I figured that the file server (which is actually the slowe...
Just found this thread whilst searching and thought Id add my experiences, im a bit of an habitual tinkerer and overclocker :)
I upgraded from my trusty old NV+ (2 years old) to a Pro Pioneer a few months back, on a quest for more power as it gets used more and more at home for CPU intensive stuff (mostly NZB download related LOL, and media streaming)
Anyway I picked up an Intel E6600 2.4Ghz Core 2 DUO cheap off Ebay and 4GB RAM, 10 mins later was up and running 24 x 7, and its been fine now for over a month - with ambient temps in my home office of 23-24deg C occasionally, the CPU isnt going above 55-60degc (as reported in frontview)
Im running the stock readynas HSF, I just cleaned the thermal paste off it and put some new arctic silver on, and that was it.
Performance wise, I havnt really seen big increases in read/writes etc, but faster times when doing CPU reliant stuff (processing files, unzipping etc) and much even more capability on multi-tasking than before
So for a £50 CPU and £35 of RAM, Im happy ive maxxed it out to its full potential :)
