hi,
If anyone of you do have the Thunder K8WE (S2895) motherboard. Can you please tell me what chassis vendors, power supplies, and Heatsink / Cooling Devices you are using with it?

I'm using a Lian-Li PC76 Chasis, the greatest thing since sliced bread! Although it's absolutely huge, it fits all 7 of my SCSI hdds perfectly.

For a power supply, I'm using a custom built PC Power & Cooling 850SSI.

For heatsinks, I'm using the stock hs/fans that come with the 250's. They have copper bases with fine aluminum fins with AS5. Temps are in the low 40's to mid 50's under load. But that's probably not normal if your case doesn't exchange air as well as the PC76 does.

Hope that helps.

IT WORKS!!! AND IT'S TYAN'S TECH SUPPORT THAT DID IT!!!!

Thanks for your reply. Is your chassis Lian-Li PC767 because I can't find Lian-Li PC76. How can I know whether a chassis is suistable to Thunder K8WE (S2895) motherboard?

Yue_Hong,

Check out the Tyan web site. They provide a list of components that have been
tested by their respective manufacturers for compatibility with the K8WE.

Certainly there must be many other options, but choosing Tyan-recommended
products will certainly cut out the guesswork.

Personally, I purchased the Chenbro SR107 case, the Enermax EG701AX-VE (W)SFMA
power supply, and the Thermal Take A1838 processor cooling devices.

I can't necessarily recommend these components, as I have yet to acquire the
processors, memory, video card(s), and disks that will be required to bring my
system online.


Good luck,


Lincoln

http://www.caseoutlet.com/shopexd.asp?id=169' ">http://www.caseoutlet.com/shopexd.asp?id=169 has many decent chassis.

PC Power and Cooling 850 would be my choice with dual SLI adapters.

I prefer factory cooling with 3year warrenty. At extra chassis fans inbound and out.

Hello Yue Hong,

I'm also building a dual-opteron setup with Tyan K8WE S2895.

If you're looking for a case, make sure that it conforms to the SSI EEB v3.5 Footprint (12” x 13”, 304.8x330.2mm) specification.

Which brings me to ask: Is Lian-Li's PC-V2000B compliant of this standard? I've been trying to get a hold of detailed documentation from Lian-Li but their website is pretty inadequate. /dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' />

Looking forward to your replies and advice. Thanks.

I have the Lian Li V2000A Case, and everything fits fine in it. Very big case though. My Tyan K8WE also fits in my Antec Mid Tower case. It's basically the Chieftec Dragon, but Mid tower.

Hello WozniakMac,

Thanks for the Info. At last someone demistified my worries. Being in the topic, what power supply do you use and how does it fit in that case? Do I need special adapters? Is the airflow good? I plan to use Full-sized Zalman CNPS7700's.

THanks Again for the info that was really helpful. /biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

I think the zalmans will fit, but I would check and make sure.
