While running cpuburn-a53 on all nodes to check out the stability of the system, I also added the two 80mm x 80mm fans... those are needed under full continuous load to prevent frequency throttling of the cores.
80x80mm fans with 2000RPM@12V/0.13A
I need to come up with some fan mounts and maybe some air duct or chimney...
After the tests with cpuburn-a53 I put together a quick distcc cluster setup with one node as master and 6 slaves to build a linux kernel. The time for a build (only Image) went from about 24 minutes on one node to about 7 minutes with the distcc setup... the workload on the nodes was pretty uneven during that build and there is a lot written on how to improve distcc with load-balancing... for comparison my old Thinkpad (i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 32GB RAM, 850PRO SSD) takes about 4 minutes to cross-compile this kernel...
