Any of the stability/heat issues which where mentioned in the "Dual Opteron or Dual Xeon?" thread from 2006-10-26?
Just for the case you're planning to use a BBU with your 9550 ... Don't put it into a 2U case, rather use a 3U case. I had much problems with the BBU temperature during high IO and CPU usage. Temperature went up just a little bit and syslog told me "Battery temperature HIGH" after a few minutes. HIGH means 45°C to 50°C, everything above means "TOO HIGH" which deactivates write cache. Using a 3U case solved this problem and everything works as expected, even when the system is totally busy with IO and CPU.
I had a similar issue, even though the 2U case had obnoxiously loud and over-engineered cooling fans. I haven't had any problems in (also obnoxiously loud) the 3RU Supermicro enclosures we've standardized on for deployment.
Cheers,
