February 6, 201115 yr My buddy is rebuilding his server and offered to give me this MB. How does it fair an un unRAID board? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151005&cm_re=S5160G2NR-_-13-151-005-_-Product Brand: TYAN Mode:l S5160G2NR Supported CPU: CPU Socket Type LGA 775 CPU Type: Intel Prescott/Smithfield/Cedar Mill/Presler (Pentium 4 w/ HT or Pentium D) System Bus: 1066/800/533MHz Supported CPU Technologies: Hyper-Threading Technology Chipsets North Bridge: Intel E7230 South Bridge: Intel ICH7R Other Chipset: SMSC SCH5017 super I/O chip Memory Number of DDR2 Slots: 4 x 240Pin DDR2 Standard: DDR2 667 Maximum Memory Supported: 8GB Channel Supported: Dual Channel ECC Supported: Yes PCI Express x16: 2 PCI Slots: 4 SATA 4 x SATA 3.0Gb/s SATA RAID 0/1 Onboard Video Chipset XGI Volari Z7 16MB DDR LAN Chipset Broadcom BCM5721 LAN Speed 10/100/1000Mbps Second LAN Chipset Broadcom BCM5721 Second LAN Speed 10/100/1000Mbps Max LAN Speed Dual 10/100/1000Mbps PS/2 2 COM 1 Video Ports 1 USB 1.1/2.0 4 x USB 2.0 Onboard USB 4 x USB 2.0 Form Factor ATX Dimensions 12" x 9.6" Some main features I like: 2x PCI-E (one x16 and one x4) - This should pair nicely with 2 4x SATA II ports Dual 10/100/1000Mbps - Can unRAID be configured to use both LAN adaptors? onboard video I already have a 775 CPU and heatsink. He is giving me his ECC memory and PSU since this board requires a 24 pin + 8 pin. I plan on pairing it with 2 AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards. Any forseen problems with compatibility? TIA, John

February 7, 201115 yr Does it support the Core2 / more modern CPUs? Those P4 class CPUs ran very hot. This would be my main concern (assuming that the LAN and other chipsets are supported).

Only P4 and Pentium D. I'm not too worried about that though since I have a big honking HS/Fan I can slap on it. How do the chipsets look for compatibility? OK? Thanks, John
