I see that you can buy Intel Xeon 6138F ES CPU's for $150 at eBay. I already have 128GB RDIMM DDR4 ECC RAM myself. I was wondering, what is the cheapest way to complete this build? I do already have 2 Xeon v4 ES CPU's at home, but it looks like the Xeon Gold's seem an extremely good deal?

I have already sold my Synology RS3617xs, so I have no need for my Synology RX1217RP anymore. Asking Price: €799. I'm based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, but I can ship it for €29.

Is this a good deal? Power usage must be high. RDIMM DDR3 ECC is cheap fortunately. What does 4 node mean? Wait, these are 4 nodes/motherboards/etc in Supermicro SuperServer chassis? That's awesome! Power usage in idle mode, is that ok with this generation of Xeons?

Hmm, looks like it was a scam?

Yeah, people warned me: DO NOT PUSH THAT BUTTON. But I'm starting to think a return would be the best. Dell hardware can only cause pain as opposed to e.g. Supermicro. Especially for homelabbers on a budget. I just experienced ILO on my €200 HP MicroServer Gen 8. It's amazing compared to...

I'm looking for a socket 1150 CPU for a 1U Supermicro SuperServer 5018D-MTF Intel C224 Socket H3 (LGA 1150) 1U Silver - server barebones (Intel C224, Socket H3 (LGA 1150) Any tips what would be good deal CPU's to search for on eBay? I'm looking to keep power consumption and noise low, although...

I bought a new Dell T430 motherboard for $200. It was the cheapest option I found in Europe for a dual 2011-3 solution. I have a Corsair power supply, but I couldn't connect it, because it has 2x10 pins instead of 2x9. It does fit like this: I am wondering if I should return it to the...

Why do you use these 4 letter codes like QEYN? GA-X99-SLI (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard | GIGABYTE is just a list of all supported CPU's from socket 2011-3, so I guess all CPU's. Gigabyte would never publicize which ES you can use, right? QEYN (Intel Xeon 2.2 GHz) at least shows the clock speed is...

My concern would be microcode that would interpret CREATE file as DELETE file, so data loss. It's homelab, but I'd be nice to have an estimate of how much you can trust it.

I appreciate that! You would run FreeNAS safely on a server with a QS CPU, but not with a ES2 CPU, right? I might use a real Intel CPU for FreeNAS via Vmware passthrough and the ES2 CPU's for some other virtual machines.

My bios is up to date. My stepping says 0000, is that bad? I got these CPU's. Intel Xeon E5 V4 ES 12C/24T 1,7 - 2,3 GHz Sockel 2011-3 x99 65W ähnlich 2628L v4 | eBay €129 $150 Intel Xeon E5 2630 V4 ES QHVK 2.1GHz 25MB 10Core 20threads 14nm 85W CPU €150 $175 I also have real 2620 V4's, got...

It doesn't work with legit Xeon CPU's, err, I'll try again in a bit and else I'll RMA it. It's a new board, never worked, but good to know that this set-up should work fine.

I'm hitting issues with my DeLuxe II (Consumer X99, LGA 2011 v3) and with my Z10-PE-D16. The only stable systems are the Supermicro's. Fortunately I do have 2x 2620 v4 for a low price, but I'd like to scale above motherboards up. The Asus Z10-PE-D16's second socket doesn't even work with my...

Actually. I got 3 separate drives. LPT: People from the EU that live in the Netherlands. Create 3 separate orders to avoid dooty problems. I had to pay a lot, because I bought 7 dell disk caddies. This could've been avoided if I kept my orders under €22. He offered free shipping. I paid €40...

I got one too. I want a portable Windows installation so I can run Windows, but pretty sure that won't work well.
