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...
wow, great thread with lots of great info!
I bought the RNDP600E when it first came out, but then had it replaced just a year or two ago due to a hardware failure, the tech support said something about it being "a later revision". I have the bios upgrade that was previous mentioned:
before 10/03/2008 FLAME6-MB V1.6
after 07/26/2010 FLAME6-MB V2.0
And I had previously upgraded the ram to 4gb as I thought at the time that was the limit.
I really need better video transcoding speeds out of this box, so I want to upgrade the CPU. I'm less concerned about the cost of upgrade and more about maxing it out in one order. I will have to ship from usa to central america, wait long times and pay big taxes and shipping fees, so I want to be sure I get everything I need in one go. There won't be room for "returning" anything.
All that being said, I get a little confused to the terminology used throughout this thread. Some people mention Readynas 6 while others speak of Pro 6. The differences in the terms used has left me a little lost on what has been confirmed working for RNDP600E "later revision".
So far, I understand that E7600 3.06ghz works with default fans/heatsink?
But the Q6700 is the better choice for transcoding, but needs alternate cooling solutions and a firmware hack to fix the error messages?
I am understanding cooling solutions are hard to find due to lack of space around CPU and between CPU and case? Is there a determined dimension that always works?
Would something like this be viable?

I like Gelid fans, they are super quiet, dust-proof, and have an interesting patented nanoflux bearing, so I was also thinking about getting these two:
CPU Fan/Sink: http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=1&cid=8&id=104
System Fan: http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=1&cid=2&id=35
Also wondering if my system can handle 8gb ram as was hinted at in this thread.
Any pro out there can help me conclude?
