So a little update. Grabbed G Skill 4GB stick and the L3360 CPU. Plugged both in and worked perfectly without any fuss. Default fan profile seems to be working fine. Stress test acted normal.
Another note. mediaserverd for the LEDs. Anyone got it working right on EX495? It just turns on the leds and doesn't show hard drive activity or brightness controls dont work. Is there a binary running around here for ours or has nobody gone that far with it
Sounds like even though the L3360 and the Q9550s benchmark close to each other, the Xeon runs a ton cooler..
Could you clarify the LED issue. Your saying your drive lights don't go on but the three lower lights are OK fine blue? And all the lights work with the OE CPU?
I never heard of mediaserverd for LED. could that be a typo??
You had to flash the BIOS to try the L5430. I've never seen anyone with a copy of the OE ex49x BIOS, but did you happen to try flashing it back to see what would happen?
Im on stock BIOS. What I am talking about with the LEDs. Normally when you have linux installed on this or anything other than original OS, you have health light blinking and no hard drive lights. Using this on linux,
https://github.com/merelin/mediasmartserverd I get the health light to stop blinking and the hard drive LEDs to light up. But no activity light on the drives. And cannot control the brightness. Obviously, this is because it was written for the 485 and the 490/495 uses a different controller I'm assuming. I'm completely fine with the activity not showing, just wish I could control the brightness a bit.
