OK I just wanted a bunch of peoples opinions

Yes yes AMD's get hot I know lol

So based on that knowledge would AMD chips be better in a bigger 2u case or is a 1u case fine with the proper cooling/fans
and being housed in a good DC who actually happens to use all amd's anyway but towers not rackmounts.

I know the best answer would be put the amd chipset in a tower since its bigger and u can sink 4 or so fans in a good case

but here is what I am asking

The situation:
You have a amd chip ect and u have a 1u and 2u case which one would be better and like how many fans are suggested for the chosen option.

thanks
Just wanting opinions thanks

2u case would be better becuase bigger/better heatsinks would be able to fit instead of ultra small ones for a 1u case. Just another note.. if you are going dual amd its better just to go dual xeon... its almost the same price.

The fans to fit in a 1u are much more expensive for amd's. 2u is probably best.

2U cases almost always have better airflow than 1U cases regardless of the system used in them.
