Hey Guys,
Recently bought a Server at home and wanted advice on what options do I have in case I want got for safe liquid cooling (preferably closed loop, to avoid any leakages) ?
I did try googling & binging, but couldn't find much information for any decent products available in India for my CPU as its a LGA 771 socket type (Except the Corsair H50 which supports LGA 775 socket, but not sure where to get one). I even tried contacting the Corsair support many times, but I always get an NDR stating their supports email ID does not exist.
Here's my specs,
PU : Intel Xeon Quad core 5405 (2 Ghz , 1333 FSB , 12 MB Cache)
Intel M/B : Dual socket S5000 XVN SATA
RAM : 8 GB FB DIMM Transcend 667 MHZ (32 GB Max supported

)
HDD: 500 GB Samsung SATA* 2
Monitor: Benq E2200 HD (21.5" Widescreen)
Graphic Card: Palit 1 GB 9500 Super +
CABINET : VIP With 600 Watts CoolerMaster SMPS
Standard wireless Logitech Mouse and keyboard
Air cooling: 1 120 mm Cooler master + 2 80 mm exhaust fans and 2 80 mm Intake fans.
Even after replacing the stock fans with the CM one's, according the Speedfan, my CPU temps do touch 68 - 70 C when I run multiple VM's in it. What worries me is the "Thermal Specification" for my CPU is 67 C, so I got to get the temp below for the reliability factor.
Also the noise the CPU fan's make it becomes unbearable for me after 1 - 2 hrs of usage, so I normally open the cabinet and make it face the AC and then I get a relief, as the then temp does goes back to 55 - 60 C.
I even tried applying Dow Corning's TC-1996 thermal paste but it didn't help much.
Any advice on how to lower my CPU temp's would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Raghu
