I ran some tests against a dual e5-2680 v2 setup. The systems were tested outside their cases to eliminate fans and other peripherals from interfering with power usage. Power was measured at the wall using a kill-a-watt. Please don't take these results too seriously. Testing would require a...

I'll be using it in a Supermicro SC 846BA I'm still waiting for my vmug licenses to become available to start upgrading to 8.

Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun with this setup so far. I've never had an EPYC setup, so there's a lot new for me to learn all it can do along with its kinks. Every PCIe slot can be bifurcated which is awesome for me since I have two Asus Hyper M2 cards ready. Read earlier that it was fussy...

I just got my package today. Much faster than I anticipated. Decent packaging, everything in mint condition. This is my first Epyc build. I'm quite excited. It's replacing a dual E5-2920 v2. Just in time for Vsphere 8

Thanks. I also got a 4u heatsink from him. He's including it in the same package saving me additional shipping costs.

Well... Could not resist. In for one. How does one provide the code though? Tried through coupon but no luck. Just paid for the fedex shipping.

For what it is worth, my experience with this seller has always been good and I've never heard of them canceling orders without good reason. I've bought CPUs and a pair of servers from them.

If it triggers the STH effect, then it's a certified good deal. And all gone! I missed out.

Oh snap, we got a bunch of these at work. We bought these because my boss saw "Quad core" and they were ridiculously cheap compared to a standard desktop. They're ok for the most basic desktop work. Way too slow for my taste. We're practically throwing (recycling) them away right now. I kept a few.

Not sure. I don't believe the firmware update is destructive, but I had no data on them prior. I can run a test to see what happens once the 512 byte sector format is finished. ***EDIT*** FYI, converting to 512 bytes from 520 took 4 hours. I had not rebooted the system before formatting, so...

Success! I was able to update the firmware from within TrueNAS using sg_write_buffer. sg_write_buffer -b 4k -m dmc_offs_save -I X670_S163315TATE.NA04.LOD /dev/XXXX Major props to redeamon for the firmware link and help.

Yep, not bad at all. These drives are rated for 1 dwpd for 5 years! I wish I had more money to get 2 more at least.

I'm worried about the 32767-hour firmware bug that bricks them. Are these not affected?

My 2 just arrived. Both are practically identical. 520 formatted, NA02 firmware and slightly over 2 years of uptime. I assume it needs firmware update NA04 (X670_S163315TATE.NA04.LOD). === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: NETAPP Product: X670_S163315TATE...
