    ASRock Rack AM5D4ID-2T BCM Review An Awesome AMD Ryzen Server Motherboard

    the block diagram showed some USB ports for the aspeed BMC... but where are the actual ports? If I understand the block diagram the two rear USB ports are just regular system BMC ports.

    1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

    i was going to offer to mail you my pentium g3220t (dual core) for testing if you wanted to pay shipping. However I see them on sale on ebay for less than the cost of me going to the post office. actually, all the low end haswell chips are around $9 for the cheapest thing on ebay: pentium...

    Storage Crypto ?

    Note that storj has been reducing payouts this year and so it may not be profitable if your electricity prices are very high. I retired a couple smaller drives. Conversely, a larger 8tb drive that is almost full (well over a year of storj ing) is doing well

    1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

    Hey, that's pretty strange. My CPU is a 1225V3. It has four cores and four threads and they all ran no problem. The only time I heard of course being disabled is if you pick it in a BIOS option, and it should be possible to use all course regardless of specific BIOS version, I would think. My...

    EXPIRED Intel 13700k CPU - $269.91 (or potentially $244.91) - Micro Center in-store only (potential price match to Best Buy)

    just to update, my initial tests on getting esxi to work on the 13700k have been promising. Most of the info comes from this guy's blog Video of ESXi install workaround for Fatal CPU mismatch on feature for Intel 12th Gen CPUs and newer (williamlam.com) I will upgrade from esxi 7.0 to 8.0...

    EXPIRED Seagate Exos X20 ST20000NM007D 20TB 7200 RPM - NEW (BF Deal) $240 with coupon

    that's a really good price. But newegg selling on walmarts marketplace? That's super confusing.

    EXPIRED Intel 13700k CPU - $269.91 (or potentially $244.91) - Micro Center in-store only (potential price match to Best Buy)

    So I got my 13700k and I have been testing it out. the motherboard (and MSI Creator Z690) came with no TDP limit as default, so when I ran prime95 the CPU consumed 300W(!) of electricity and immediately hit a 99C thermal cap, using a fairly beefy dual tower air cooler. However idle...

    EXPIRED Intel 13700k CPU - $269.91 (or potentially $244.91) - Micro Center in-store only (potential price match to Best Buy)

    Looks like the deal is already over, microcenter price back up to $360. I was able to price match yesterday to Best Buy so that was fun. Will probably be using it for my desktop, not server. Although what I really shoulda bought was the 12600k when it was on sale at newegg against Prime Day...

    1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

    Bumping this because I just retired my board and wanted to know if anyone was interested in buying one (I have the motherboard, a xeon 1225v3 CPU, and heatsink, not the chassis)

    Cheap Interesting Chinese 4x2.5g, 2x10G switch, (but also problems with DACs)

    They were probably sloppy and used the terms interchangeably Technically SFP is gigabit only. SFP+ is 10g I used cheap SFP+ modules I found on Amazon. Maybe from 10gtek and ipolex, but not completely sure. Again, except for the problem with DAC cables, it was fine. In addition, the main serve...

    A reseller like GoHardDrive or ServerPartDeals in EU?

    Years ago SPD, or maybe their Water Panther brand, had a problem where drives labeled new were actually refurbs. I haven't seen any recent reports of such troubles though, they've been generally accurate with their listings (just pay attention because they can have 'new' and 'seller refurb' and...

    6TB and 3 DWPD = .... a whole lotta TB

    Supermicro X10DRI-T4+ w/ Heatsinks & I/0 Shield $140

    it really has 4x 10G NIC? That's pretty spicy. Too bad it's the older x540 that doesn't support 2.5 and 5gb.

    Asrock Rack Epyc Rome/Milan and Threadripper Pro motherboards

    That's a lot of SlimSAS, I wonder if they could be converted to a pcie slot in a weird way? Or at least a boatload of NVME drives.

    New Contender for the cheapest 4U full depth rack chassis? [$110 USD shipped?] [RACKOWL 13 Bay 4U Server Chassis]

    looks like a promising contender to usurp the rosewill case as a budget choice. If this is replicatable for other people, please share!

    This GoWin R86S Pro is an Everything Revolution with 25GbE and 2.5GbE

    That COM port looks like mini usb, not micro usb.

    EXPIRED Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB 80 USD

    this really was a bonkers offer. I recently got a single old SAS 3.2TB SSD for about 80, but that was a 5 year old drive, and even that price was a fluke.

    EXPIRED Micron 5100 PRO 960GB M.2 SATA new $47.6 + $8.15 shipping

    SSDs have been dropping a lot in price lately so this isn't super extraodinary.

    [EU] UK deal JOBLOT - HP Proliant DL360 Gen9 SFF

    you know that's generally true, most of the time auctions I watch to for regular used or even higher prices. The vast majority of times. BUT, sometimes an obscure item can go through without getting bid on, usually if there's something off about the listing. and ONE TIME, there was a nice...
