No, you really don't need a heatsink for that ICH7 chip. I've never seen a board with a heatsink on it -- usually see it as part of the 945G chipset.RoGuE wrote:I agree.
Plus..wtf is with not putting a cheap aluminum heat sink on the SB chip? seems silly if you ask me...I guess they deemed it not nessisary, and saving a dollar times thousands of boards = thousands of dollars. but still..its begging for a heat sink!
What do you mean? It has DVI (which means it will also support HDMI via an adaptor).croddie wrote:which is moot because lack of digital video output rules out for uses requiring displays
High? 35W using a non-optimal PSU hardly seems high. Is it the best possible, no, but we are talking only about a 5W difference. Still for a file server, one of the 945G based Atom board would be better just because of base price. Any energy savings would just be icing on the cake.croddie wrote:and high power consumption rules out for basic home servers.
OK didn't look at the picture, just the conclusion which said "Lack of digital A/V outputs". Maybe Lawrence Lee can correct that. In that case it might be fine for an office system.jessekopelman wrote:What do you mean?

Sorry about that. Fixed.croddie wrote: OK didn't look at the picture, just the conclusion which said "Lack of digital A/V outputs". Maybe Lawrence Lee can correct that. In that case it might be fine for an office system.
