In my experience, The QS typically works with any board. I know when I was researching the Intel Scalable's and finding cheap CPU's, that these typically work in anything, including Intel boards. Intel boards, typically block ES chips. The QS versions are identical to retail. If the have the...

That's a good deal! It's a H0 stepping. If you look online, avoid the QMTN. That's a ES stepping. You can tell in the picture. If you see the 6139 on the label it's either a QS or Retail version. The version I have does not have any of the ES marking in the CPU Name string when I run CPU Z...

If you want something that is practically the same as the 8124, but will work in any board, the Gold 6139 is the best choice. Same 18C/36T, but base clock is 2.3, boost to 3.7. 135W. It works in any Purley board too. I have the SR3G3 version, works great. Even works in a Dell 7820 system...

Yes, but it's really easy. VMware has a fling and a driver for many USB3 & USB2 adapters. https://flings.vmware.com/usb-network-native-driver-for-esxi Works pretty well, sans a couple bugs on auto-neg which I found. @Patrick 's article on the 5/2.5/1Gbe SFP+ modules was very helpful. I...

I'm pretty close to what you are looking for, The Dell 7040 Micro, I have it running with, - 64GB DDR4 SODIMM (2x32GB, the manual says it only supports up to 32GB, but runs 64GB anyway) - NVME - XPG GAMMIX 2TB S11 Pro - SATA - 1.6TB Intel DC S3510 series SATA - 2 NICs - Built in 1GBe +...

Not in Canada... I did some pretty extensive price searching. After paying shipping and duties, the Team Elite ones ended up being the same price if not a bit more expensive by a couple dollars. But, considering the Team Elite is the cheapest of the cheap, and I'm not putting this into...

Bought two of these recently... https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07N124XDS Running about $119US 32GB DDR4 SODIMM

I have quite a few Aruba AP's both instant and requiring a controller. The controller required version will be quite cheap, as you can find AP-225's with AC 866M speed for example, under 50$ US. The IAP-version which does not require any licenses or controllers is typically a bit more. I've...

That shelf looks pretty interesting for the price, and there's also a 12gb SAS3 version too. Cables look to be SFF-8436 (QSFP/QSFP+) from the manuals, so, easy enough to find a SFF-8088 to 8436 version. Thanks for sharing!

Product That's the Canadian version, in at about 520CAD + ship.... The exact model (1TB) is around $840CAD or so, very good deal at $175US if you can get on it...

Try some Google-Fu... EOS-4.14.6M.swi

From a quick check, I found that some of the product markings are Dell. Maybe these are OEM boards?

Mellanox ConnectX-4 CX456A PCIe x16 3.0 100GBe MCX456A-ECAT | eBay Not that I like Chinese resellers, or ones from Israel, but they are out there...

There was a deal back in January for the same cx-3 pros for 20$ each. I'd hold out or Bo it for max of 40$. These come on fire sale often enough. I'm now looking for 100gbe cx4. Hovering around 350 for dual cards.. 40gbe rdma was a great upgrade, now just want to push it...

That and these use the crappy mptsas driver. I have tuned the 1.2tb version but 6.5 and later really does not like these. Many io stalls and you'll see target errors in your logs all day long. I'm moving mine from vSphere to being installed in a Linux 40gbe San box, and seeing it it behaves any...

They are very slow. I have a few of these, it's 24GBx4. Not well supported by VMware or Linux, and they stall I/O's pretty easily under light load. I paid about 60ea about 2 years ago.

That was m theory as well... plus these run cooler than the V1's. My real score the the 2650L's for 100$ each. They are very cool, and sip power. Great machines to run 24/7 for light workloads...

This is pretty accurate... Recently picked up 2650L's, 2660's and 2680's. Definitely worth it, from a performance and power perspective. Replaced some 2670 V1's and 2643 V1's. Less heat too. Ivy Bridge CPU's bring some performance benefits for VMware, so, that alone helps workloads versus the...

That's what I thought too. I have no original screws so determining the pitch is pretty difficult. I tried 6 different types of tiny flat Philips screws. The hole is quite tiny! I think it was some SSD screws that worked. They sunk to half depth which was enough to keep it in place...

My only concern was screws. I purchased from Mellanox a while back, but no screws are included. Does anyone know the type? I ended up using some tiny hard drive screws that mostly work.... I was lucky to have the very tiny threaded kind.. otherwise I would have been sol...
