PCIe traffic doesn't contain routing information so you can't really have multiple hosts sharing a pool of devices outside of some very very specific architectures that are tailor made for businesses. The Dell VRTX is probably one of the more flexible examples of this, but it is only PCIe 2.0...

The non-chiplet LGA-4677 Xeons are alot better than the chiplet ones with idle draw, I remember hearing third hand that they are ~40 watts idle, that is CPU power draw, not whole system. E-cores are actually fairly potent, at least compared to CPUs of the recent past; If you wanted to go all...

I think Intel is using it's W790 platform to compete with TR pro.... although it is a power hog, I'm lucky to get the W5-3435X alone to idle at even 70 watts; Right now my whole W790 system idles at ~200 watts because of some overclocking. I don't know why, but it seems like all the...

Intel is actually bringing these back under the E-2400 series, best part about it is that they are going to be P-core only and raptor lake based. I wouldn't expect this to release before Q1 2024 though. This might not be an option. Some of the server boards do not have bioses that will allow...

1. no bifurcation support in current BIOS (or at the very least it is hidden/no menu for it yet) 2. 3. it does support 48GB DIMMs out of the box... sadly 48GB ECC DIMMs aren't very available yet to test though 4.I assume it does (currently running 96GB), but their doesn't seem to be any way to...

This is the setting I'm really interested in, just if it lets you put in a number higher than 22

Thank you for sharing this! I didn't know this was possible. Does Mech/LLC overclocking work? it looks like your running at 2200MHz, if you could bring that up the memory performance would dramaticaly improve. The normal W3400 processors run their LLC mesh at 2500MHz but the BIOS allows it to...

I just got my hands on a H13SAE-MF for a 32-bay NAS build if there's anything someone wanted to know about it.

After being disappointed with the complete lack of higher density XMP RDIMM kits available I broke down and bought some normal 4800MHz 64GB Hynix sticks; turns out the 4800MHz server stuff will overclock just fine as long as you can cool it, I'm running DDR5-5945MHz 34-38-38-96 timings @ 1.35v...

The FTL can be thought of as a dynamic LUT that changes based on inputs (many of which are unknown to consumers), this is a useful way to understand what the FTL is doing. This is how the FTL is thought of during raw NAND data recovery after a controller failure, the FTL is "frozen" into a...

FTL as in the flash translation layer in SSDs; it is an ever changing lookup table that maps logical blocks to NAND cells. It was the cause of complete SSD failure during power loss in many SSDs awhile back because it would get into some kind of undetermined state after a power loss and all your...

Good to hear. I haven't updated my BMC yet but I hear the update fixes .ISO redirection problems the initial BMC release had.

I'd try taking the battery out and reseating it; might be a bad contact with battery but likely it's just a drained battery. It's not that bad, the worse thing you'll experience is loss of BIOS settings after removing power from the machine.

type in "https://192.168.1.13" to get in to ipmi in the browser, without the https it won't resolve. same thing happened to me. you're battery voltage is low, mine is showing 3.136 v, this is probably the cause of the red/orange flashing led.

The symptoms of SSD NAND cell charge decay are typically severely reduced read speed for the affected cells long before any data loss occurs, assuming we're talking about MLC/TLC/QLC/PLC (basically any SSD with a controller with sample NAND voltage to discriminate charge, some very early SLC...
