I don't remember having to enable anything in the BIOS; it just worked. I did have stability problems with the PCIe slot though.

Exactly. I was looking for a 10A one, but the Leicke 12V/7.5A Charger was easily available here in Europe for a reasonable price and with the correct plug. It has been working just fine 24/7 for the last 18 months.

I haven't had any problems specifically with ZFS and 2x Seagate Exos X20 20TB. But I wouldn't be surprised if that problem was due to the 60W power supply; my machine would sometimes not reboot successfully because the power draw would go well over 60W with the spin-up of the two drives. I...

Let me also provide an update in case it might help someone: I ended up with a B+M key to M-key adapter to install a recent SSD in the second m.2 slot. The exact model I used is the Jeyi M.2 NVMe Protector II, available for just a few bucks. I had to cut a hole in one of the plastic side panes...

I am running the Reserver on ProxMox, which is also based on Linux. All is fine, except that I have lockups when using a second SSD in the PCIe port. I thought this was due to the R24SF extension cable, but I have the same problem when using the shielded K24MF cable or even a direct PCIe to M2...

Thanks for sharing your experience, this seems to indicate that it may just be my cable. I've tried various things, both software wise and keeping the cable+ssd out of the top of the case to limit electromagnetic interference. The hangs do not seem to depend on usage either, it has also happened...

Unfortunately the power supply only resolved part of the problem: with 90W the system always boots without problem, but the system still regular hangs. I'm fairly certain that it is the ADT R24SF extender cable, because without it the system has been running stable for nearly 3 weeks now. I'm...

Thanks for your reply! My SSD is PCIe 3.0 and I am booting from a ZFS mirror, so in theory it should be fine. I'm starting to doubt the cable is the problem though: just the other day I noticed that when the system fails to boot the power draw peaks at around 80W (due to the simultaneous spin...

Does anybody else have problems with the ADT-Link R24SF cable? I installed a 15cm one (looping back over the motherboard, cut a drive tray to make space) and I am having stability issues. After several days the system locks up and I have to hard reset it. When this happens, the system no longer...

Cool, thanks for sharing. Do you think the 10cm version would've been long enough as well? Also, please let us know how well it works temperature-wise.

Thanks for this info! The post describes my situation exactly: it sounds more like a faulty bearing rather than a fan under high load. I guess I just got a lemon, but nothing a noctua won't fix. The system fan in my case is an AVC "DS09225R12M" 92x92x25 4 pin 0.3A model. It has a smaller pitch...

I think this might work, there seems to be enough space between the motherboard and the drive sled. You could also loop over the motherboard and hang the SSD on the back of the motherboard (the CPU side), where there is even more space and no moving sled to mess things up. I believe Upgrading...

Mine also arrived this morning in Europe. So far I'm quite pleased with the build quality, although I find it a bit more noisy than I would've liked. Might just be a case of tightening the fan though. Add to this the WD SN520, which still seems to be available on Ebay. Unfortunately only up to...

Does mlperf support multi-gpu benchmarking? It'd be interesting to see how much NVLink helps in scaling up learning. TensorFlow's benchmarks are actually quite straightforward and quick to run, although image-classification centric. A vendor in Europe. (pm sent)

Our supplier didn't want to deliver the SYS-4028GR-TRT2 with 10x GPU, since they said it was not a configuration supported by SM. In any case, I'm looking forward to DeepLearning12 and performance of the V100's. What DL frameworks and benchmarks do you intend to run?
