I upgraded my ham shack computer to accommodate the new SDR Flex radios so I wanted the fastest system that I could put together. I used the following parts for my system: My previous system was 2.5 GHz quad core with 8 gig of memory. When I rad my SDR software the CPU utilization was 60% and higher. My new system has a 8 to 10% utilization. I run 2 monitors off my GeForce card. I elected not to use the internal video system because of dual monitor issues. I used a big heat sink and fan because this CPU heats up and the fan Intel provided was not enough.
This motherboard is loaded with SATA III, USB 3.0, just about everything you could want in a computer. The Cooler Master case is very well built as is their power supply and CPU cooler. I also run Ububtu 14.04 in dual boot 64 bit system, runs like a charm. Maybe one day I can shed my Windos operating system for Ubuntu. I already have an Ubuntu server running 14.04 64 bit server edition with Apache, MySQL5, PHP, SSH and much more. I hope to bring it online this summer and shut down my power hungry Dell server. I will develop another page devoted to low cost powerful computers and servers.
