I wonder if there's any difference between active and passive models of a cpu. Presumably passive cpus are 2U to incorporate a bigger, passive heatsink. Is the cpu then built to survive higher temperatures? That would explain the cost difference I guess.Justintime said:1U is the measurment of vertical height, i think 1U is equal to 1.75 inches. Active or passive is to do with the cooling used, active uses fans while passive dosen't.
