    [SOLVED] Ampere Altra Q64-22 + AsRock Rack ALTRAD8UD (working great!)

    I ended up switching my cooler from the 2U passive cooler to the Dynatron W1 active cooler, and it works great! Temperatures dropped ~20 C. I'm also seeing about 100W power consumption at idle. @bexcran do you have any ideas on how to reduce this, if possible?

    Connect ChenBro drive unit to ASROCK Rack motherboard??? 8x SFF-8644 ?!

    Ah, okay, that's (barely) within budget. It looks like I'll need two of these 9500-8e cards for all four primary ports?

    [SOLVED] Ampere Altra Q64-22 + AsRock Rack ALTRAD8UD (working great!)

    Sigh, I don't use X for various reasons, and it would be good to know _why_ Patrick says to wait. If it's just because of snags like wrong kind of memory and incomplete documentation, then that's not at all insurmountable. I suppose the "bundle" also includes the memory, too, given they already...

    [SOLVED] Ampere Altra Q64-22 + AsRock Rack ALTRAD8UD (working great!)

    Ahhh! That is it, I was trying to use UDIMM... AsRock does not specify anywhere whether it should be ECC or no ECC? Do you know? The Gigabyte Ampere board's QVL only lists ECC in the QVL... I am using a CORSAIR SF1000L modular 1000W power supply. It only has one 8pin EPS. Do you recommend any...

    [SOLVED] Ampere Altra Q64-22 + AsRock Rack ALTRAD8UD (working great!)

    I tried two types of DDR4 RAM, both of which work in my other rigs. One stick, two sticks, different slots -- all make no difference. I looked at the AsRock Rack web page for this board, and the QVL list is empty: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=ALTRAD8UD-1L2T#Memory...

    [SOLVED] Ampere Altra Q64-22 + AsRock Rack ALTRAD8UD (working great!)

    EDIT: It works great! Turned out to be the wrong type of RAM. Thanks everyone!!! Hi! My Ampere Altra Q64-22 + AsRock Rack ALTRAD8UD does not POST or power on. I've stripped the board of everything but two sticks of known-good RAM and the CPU. I've also tried two known-working power supplies. I...

    ARM Altra motherboard for sale anywhere?

    I was able to acquire a 64-core ARM Altra CPU. Where can I find a compatible motherboard? I was looking at the AsRock ALTRAD8UD-1L2T, but it looks like it isn't sold anywhere.
