Ok, the fans run, I have always noted them at about 27C on the bios screen and have the shutdown set at 75C which is the lowest setting.
I did pull the heat sinks, some dust. I did use Geil Copper paste when I installed them about 10 months or so. As you sell know the die of the Xeon is rather large and the outer 80% was perfect. the intermost ring, really no more that 10-15% of the total area was clearish. The only other stuff I have at home is artic silver 5. Its gonna suck if I have to replace the compound every 6 months.
As far as the network - thats not it as I disabled the ports and no change.
As I mentioned before, I pulled the raid card but never uninstalled the driver. I just deleted the file so it would stop searching for it.

Voltages are just fine. The -12V rail isn't used by anything anymore, so it
doesn't matter.

I would suspect a drive controller.
Also check your thermal solution(s)...the Xeons will throttle down when they
get warm. If the thermal paste has hardened, or there is a dust mat over the
heatsink fins, or a fan dead...
