acube, your the best, you did an awesome job and you even repaired me the first G4 that arrived broken for an unbelieveable low price ... thats what i call service, thats what i call "The Amiga way" ... good luck to you guys
I hope all will turn out well for you
...and thanks Hyperion for the great OS i ran on this platform

Same boat with you, but without 266MHz and heart-attacks you had. I envy you for the xtra Mhz, but not for all the issues u had before getting here. And indeed, ACube are gods, allowed me to have a working A1 despite totally dead module...
Advice: I ditched the 40mm fan I got from ACube (not bad by itself, some CoolerMaster), left the heatsink on the cpu and added 92mm Zalman FB123 (attached to the case by a bracket that comes with it, blows air on the cpu without touching the heatsink). It eliminates all vibrations/loads on the CPU module and reduce noise.
Take care and have fun! And post some dnetc bencharks. Jack

Guys, this is starting to sound like, "My one is bigger than yours"
We don't get such opportunities lately, this thread is courtesy of ACube is a bright spot in the darkness. One less dead A1 is the same as one new A1 in my dictionary. So keep them coming. Preferably with new mobos as well, whoever will make them.
Edit:
@Raziel:
I dont't see you A1 grazing in the field and going "mooo"

Bah... envy? Nah... and Mickey_C: Yeah... mine is even bigger.. i'm WATERCOOLED !!!
BTW: Running on 1 Ghz since the beginning... more would be possible (tested after being watercooled), but safety first .. and.. yeah ... Raziel's one could be even faster.. i know.. :-p

Stick a fanless psu there and you have almost silent Amiga Will cost ya a fortune though...

Well, i'd have to use a watercooled PSU because due to the watercooling there's almost no air flow which could cool a fanless PSU ... and yes, watercooled PSUs are also not exactly cheap .. besides they all aren't very stable in the long term :-/
Nah... i'll stick to my beQuiet .. it's actually very quiet .. and after watercooling CPU and gfx board, the loudest thing of my A1 is actually the HD now

I hope you don't spring a leak in that plumbing, it'll be expensive :/
Of course i'm trying to avoid that
But the cooling liquid is based on double-distilled water and should not conduct ... actually right after building that thing i had a little leak on the gfx cooler while the A1 was already running ... thanks god nothing bad happend and it works since several months now without any problems...

I have this one installed, temperature down to 30?something (can't check - no working TAU) in normal working mode... (plugged a big silent fan on it too)
about the dnetc thing ... i resigned, cannot update my page there, though, i am in the process of removing all of the dnetc peecees i hijacked too (too many problems on those machines due to overheating)
@cyborg
I thought about watercooling myself, but as i have a passive PSU already i ditched that
looks cool
@PR1
I'm looking for altivec optimized proggies right now, did miss that little bugger (altivec)
I prefer that chipset heatsink + Zalmans fan on the bracket: less weight on the module. Just found Silenx 80mm fan that claims to be only 9DB. Got one for the case, moved the previous 19DB one into psu. Now waiting them to refill the stock to populate the psu and the braket. Looks like it is pretty new product.
Enjoy your A1

That cleared up, I want _everyone_ to be able to get a PA-Semi 2.6 GHz 64 bit Amiga w AOS4.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(MB tops out at 32 GBytes. Hehehe.)
Support Amiga Fantasy cases!!! How to program: 1. Start with lots and lots of 0's. 10. Add 1's, liberally. "Details for OS 5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007, ..." - Bill McEwen Whoah!!! He spoke, a bit late.
Hmm, i went down to 512MB in mine now, as i had to find out everything abopve the 512MB line was causing the system (or at least a task that gets to write there) to crash.
Even switching two 512MB modules to a single 1024MB one didn't help...i'm happy with 512 and an unbelievable stable system
