Note the fan speed increasing without the fan shroud thanks to the 85W CPU's heat output

Oh is got those better fans i love. Nidec

[@CliffNark]

I'll be honest with ya, I like that they're quiet but man do they feel/look cheap compared to Deltas/Sunons Plus, I personally prefer the louder Delta's/Sunon's coil whine at low rpm but hey that's just me

[@wumpols]

that thing wants to bet put down

[@CliffNark]

It wants what now?

[@bryanvila1990]

How do I know if I have an Elpis or a Xenon? thanks :)

[@CliffNark]

If you see an AV only console with a service date from 2009-11, then it's an Elpis. Also, the GPU die will have Elpis written on it

[@leonikonomopoulos3923]

In theory could I straight swap an elpis gpu onto a xenon with a Y1 gpu or would I have to mess around with boot loaders?

[@CliffNark]

Yeah, an Elpis GPU works just fine with Xenons without a modified bootloader

[@leonikonomopoulos3923]

@@CliffNark Ah thanks, I might do this is I find an elpis board

[@LightningCat124]

Btw is opus not elpis

[@CliffNark]

Trust me, it's an Elpis. Just read the description

[@LightningCat124]

Oh but how would you know if its replaced

[@CliffNark]

​@@LightningCat124 How would I know? Ah well you see, i just simply use my eyes

[@LightningCat124]

No i mean whats the difference between the 2 boards

[@CliffNark]

@@LightningCat124 I would have never guessed that's what you meant with that last comment but, an Opus is essentially a Falcon and an Elpis is Essentially a Xenon They have dfferent CPU heatsinks, different power ratings (Elpis 203W, Opus 175W), Elpis has 7 bigger CPU caps laid out differently to an Opus' 6 and the fact Opus was only produced in 08 whereas Elpis ran from 09/11
