I tested 4 different CPU (4x Q6600) and I've taken out the best one^^
(max. clock-rate was 4Ghz with air cooling but RAM has limited^^)
View attachment 1312
My BIOS settings:
CPU Ratio Setting: 9.0
FSB Frequency: 385
-> 9* 385 = 3465 Mhz (almost 3,5Ghz)
CPU Voltage in BIOS: ~1.36 V (although CPU-Z displays a little bit different voltage)
-> tested the stability with different programs like Prime95, 3Dmark and so on
CPU is cooled by Zalman 9700 Cooler. (under load CPU doesnt get hotter than 60-68 degrees)
I am happy with this configuration atm, but i want to upgrade MB/CPU/RAM soon

I also want to virtualize the server (ESXi 5) so i can run Windows-Server and OpenIndiana on it
(for ZFS-filesystem with RAID-Z2 (equal to Raid6) etc.)
. But this will take a little^^
