dual xeon

[serge]

my brand new machine dual xeon 3.066 is up
really fast rendering 2-3 time faster than my ''old'' xp3000

BUT!!

when rendering

2-3 more noisy than my ''old'' athlon

anyone experience this??

[s0real]

heh

what are the specs of both machines?
are they self built, or off the shelf (Dell, Boxx, etc)?

what sort of noise is your macine making?

perhaps you've got a faulty/loose fan in the new machine...

obviously a dual processor machine is going to require more cooling than a single processor.

my old P4 3.06 is louder than my dual Xeon - because it has crap fans.

We have a dell dual xeon 2.8 and it makes a sound like a formula 1 car, but that is because it has 5 fans to cool the cpu's. It renders great though.
