tdborg Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Will the standard fans from the 242 chips work on 248 chips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Yes they will. Are you planning to use this in a dual proc setup? If not, I would suggest a more affordable 100-series opteron (s939 or s940 if you already have the board). If it isn't being used ina server, go with a s939 opteron.

bigred Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 that would be a good CAD rig. but back on topic yes teh 242 stock fans will work fine IF you're staying 130nm or 90nm cores. if your'e changing die size change the fans. the 90nm ones run a wee bit warmer than the old 130's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
