    Whitch distro for home server

    My preference Red Hat based OpenSuse Leap Debian based Debian I would avoid ubuntu on a server it's not as user friendly/easy as you would expect. Always go for LTS releases for servers

    High idle CPU temps on i7-14700K in a Silverstone CS381

    Have you tried increasing the speed of the fans? What ambient temperature do you have?

    High idle CPU temps on i7-14700K in a Silverstone CS381

    Sounds like quite hot temperatures. I'm running a 14700K with stock settings. I have two 120mm fans in the chassi. One in the front and one in the back. Ambient temp in the room is 28.1 (Quite warm) CPU cooler is a Thermal Right Phantom 120. CPU Temp 34 Temperature PCH Temp 56...

    New Homelab build, should I go 14700k or 14900k?

    Not just for quick sync, more multi-purpose platform and somewhat future proof. I do most things but gaming. Most of the time it's idle. If idle consumption is 55w vs 90w it will make a difference looking at 5-10years lifetime. Still ihave other equipment with more power draw(switches), but...

    New Homelab build, should I go 14700k or 14900k?

    If you measure at the wall with a power meter I'm saying that you should be a static +15W as compared to without having the card plugged in. For me power consumption is a factor, the +10 for ipmi is questionable since i we very seldom use it. Otherwise i agree with you and i guess it comes down...

    New Homelab build, should I go 14700k or 14900k?

    Are you sure about that? My googlefu gives me around 15W idle power usage on A380. I don't measure any additional idle watt on igpu (headless mode)

    New Homelab build, should I go 14700k or 14900k?

    Sure why not, but one more fan and more power consumption. (Guessing you will have more power consumption, have not actually checked)

    New Homelab build, should I go 14700k or 14900k?

    I went with 14700K. My use case might be a bit different, since I run plex and do want Intel Quick Sync. The benefit with Intel (as far as I have seen) is that you will have somewhat lower idle power consumption compared to some of the other CPUs. If you don't need QuickSync maybe it makes sense...

    LGA 1700 Alder Lake "Servers"

    Just to report my brand new x13sae-f came with bios version 2.1 installed. Had no problem booting with a 14700k processor was afraid i would have to buy an i3 12100f just to update bios. Idle consumption measured at wall socket with stock settings and without any additional hardware (one nvme...

    Rockus ICX7250-24P Fan mod

    I'll probably try my luck with a noctua a12-15 NF-A12x15 PWM should be possible to mount on the inside.

    Rockus ICX7250-24P Fan mod

    With the 120 mm fan are you blowing air into the unit or sucking air out? Was is possible to place the fan on the inside of the cover instead of the outside?

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I'm in the same situation. I have 3x 40mm mechatronics in the back and a 20mm on the asic cooler. Still after some time they will spin up. My conclusion is to go for 80mm fans in order to reach acceptable noise and cooling. Another approach would be to take noctuas 40mm and always run them on...

    Hi! I've been stalking multiple threads about upgrades of home servers lately. But rather than hijacking someone else's thread I post my own. My current server is an: - Intel i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz - 32GB Ram - 4x10TB WD Red (5400 RPMS) (Non raid) - Mellanox ConnectX3-Pro (Dual 10G) I'm...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I have a juniper ex3300 24P running for several years with noctuas. It is dead silent appart from the regular white noise. You just pop them in and run. What you can do on the 7250 is to run noctuas with an additional arduino/esp etc which will basically make the noctua to run full speed...
