Testing A Server Motherboard

Testing a board that I was using for a while in my DVR server. I have since replaced it with a slightly newer Supermicro board, which is using a Pentium D 930 3Ghz CPU.

Afterward I found that there was nothing wrong with it.

You may notice this is my first HD quality video. I'm hoping to do some more as time permits. This video was really just a test, which is why I'm filming nothing too exciting yet.

Ya that Vantec Tornado fan is nuts :-)

That fan looks powerful! There aint enough RAM on the computers here to watch the HD playback but the still frame looks so good. I really need more sticks of RAM, only 512 meg is the max on any of the systems here.

You also need a good video card and processor.  Probably at least a 2Ghz CPU, and a Geforce 8 or 9 series video card. What are the specs on your current system?

@Someone7089 Depends on what you are trying to do. Hard drive is not needed to test the board for basic power up, but you do need the CPU and RAM. Without RAM, it will beep an error code. Without CPU, it will not do anything except turn on the power supply and fans.

@Maxxarcade Ok.

I really enjoy your videos, I'm looking to set up a servo for myself. something that will give me abt. 4tb (I have tons of music, movies and phptos). Do you have any suggestions? And what about a firewall?
