Intel D201GLY2 (with integrated Celeron 1.2Ghz CPU) [FANLESS] | |
| 03.08.2009
I use this mobo in my homeserver for a private mysql, apache, torrent and storage server with a RAID card and 3 harddisks and ununtu server installed as the OS. The mobo is fanless but expects the case's ventillation to cool it. For me there was not enough ventillation (only fan in my server is in the PSU), so the CPU was on almost 100C. Because the builtin Celeron 220 runs on 1.2GHz, and I really don't need such computing power for the above mentioned tasks, I had plenty of room to downgrade the CPU for lower temperatures. For this I have used Intel's Integartor Toolkit to make a custom BIOS, with a lower CPU multipplier. Now the CPU runs only on 660MHz. With this step I was also able to decrease the voltage of the CPU from 1.32V to 1.15 by using the trick described here: http://www.exoid.com/?page_id=168. With these modifications the CPU never goes above 50C. |
