Hi friends,
I am building a new server using Supermicro X9SCM-F motherboard + Xeon E31270 cpu @ 3.4GHz+ 16GB Kingston ECC memory.
Memtest86+ completed in about 1hour - no errors.
However "Prime95 small FFT" runs for few minutes and then mobo-alarm starts beeping and I stop the test :(
I installed "Intel PWM CPU Heatsink Fan Cooler E97378-001" plugged into FAN2 header. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/284949549587) I put appropriate quant of thermal paste.
If we assume airflow is fine (I have 3 more PWM case-fans in there):
Q1) Do I even need to torture this box with Prime95 given that it will only be used for TrueNAS (along with 1 VM) ?
Q2) If Prime95 is a must-pass test, do you think my Intel Fan Cooler is the culprit ? If so, can you recommend a replacement ?
any other ideas welcome
Thanks a lot
