Silver Stone SG01B-E case
ASUS A8N-VM CSM motherboard (REV 1.10G) Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (dual core 2.2 GHz) 4GB memory (PC3200 1GB x4) 320GB disk (Seagate ST3320620AS) DVD ROM drive (Aopen DVD1648L) iCute iGuard |
|
This is the front of the computer,
with the iCute iGuard and Aopen DVD ROM drive.
The iCute iGuard is measuring the following internal temperatures: southbridge heatsink, CPU heatsink, case, hard disk. It can also control the speed of the case fan (between 1290 and 2000 RPM). It can control three other fans, but I don't have any more in this case. |
|
This is the inside of the computer. It's very cramped inside.
The Silver Stone SG01B-E case was the smallest case that I could find which could run the dual core Athlon64 X2 without overheating. Unlike my previous computers, I wanted something that didn't take up a lot of space. |
|
This is the 4GB of dual channel PC3200 memory (1GB x 4).
I put red heatsinks on the two cheap memory sticks. |
|
This is the southbridge heatsink.
The motherboard didn't come with a heatsink on the southbridge, but I felt it getting pretty hot, so I added one. There is a thermometer taped to the heatsink. |
Nyo is running Fedora 8 x86_64 (64bit linux), with inittab default set to run level 3.
I upgraded from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8.
I had to change the following settings in the BIOS in order to get things running smoothly. (The version of the BIOS is 1001.)
| memory hole [enable] | With memory hole disabled (the default setting), Fedora Core 5 was only able to see 2.7GB of memory. With memory hole enabled, the OS was able to see 3.9GB. | |
| Cool n Quiet [disabled] | With Cool n Quiet enabled (the default setting), the CPU was running at 1GHz instead of 2.2GHz. I didn't notice things were running slowly until I ran some benchmarks. With Cool n Quiet disabled, the CPU ran at 2.2GHz. |
Additional software
I've installed the following additional software.- A-trek
- mecab 0.91 + ipadic 2.7.0
