Hello, Is anyone aware of heating issues specifically relating to the Opteron 248s (as opposed to 246s and below) ? I ask only because I have been evaluating some cluster technology based on the Opteron 248s and was told by one vendor that they were having to rethink their cooling stratgey specifically for the 248s and above. Evidently they are reacting to a particular heat dissipation issue specific to the 248. This could be simply because they weren't dealing adequately with cooling on Opterons in general and are having to find a better solution though they were representing the thermal issue as specific to the 248s.
