That's good to know that the reporting period is 15 seconds so I stressed the drive today and 8 hours later I still get a peak temp of 49 in HWiNFO even when load was reporting 100% so I struggle to imagine a situation where the thermals could spike so quickly that this would be hardware instead...

I double-checked the temps on my 990 that crashes so often and it really doesn't get very hot under load. If HWiNFO can be trusted I'm seeing just 49 degrees which again points to the crashes being a bug instead of environmental.

These stats are really useful! I'd much rather see a drive throttle early than risk failing and I'm glad my replacement drive appears to do so. My most problematic system has a nice m2 heatsink built into the Asus motherboard but I ordered a few copper heatsinks for the other servers I'll...

I should add that I've installed about 20 of the Samsung 970, 980 or 990 drives and have been a big fan of Samsung until this point. My systems with 970s and two systems with Sabrent Rockets are perfectly stable. Today I'll start testing a Hynix P41 as an alternative until Gen5 availability...

I believe that would explain many simlar SSD crashes but it's not what I observed. Most of the time I had heat sinks, generous case airflow, and 64 degree ambient temps. There was that particular database restore operation that crashed the SSD 7-10 times while I watched the temperatures and...

I've been running 5B2QGXA7 and that's still the latest version. I hope your build remains solid but I can confirm there are standard workloads that will crash the SSD with that firmware version as well as several preceding versions. FWIW I haven't yet seen this behavior with Windows 10 or 11...

Samsung drives newer than the 970 (the last to use a Samsung nvme driver) are not reliable with Windows Server. Over the past several months I've been debugging issues with both Intel and AMD servers that reset to the bios and the SSD is not detected until a power off/on cycle. I was really...

Provantage. I think you said they weren't authorized but they've always been a reliable vendor for me.

I just joined the bandwagon and ordered a W680-ACE IPMI. I'm going to rebuild my X13SAE-F server that doesn't seem to like its 13900K even with dialed down wattage. My server reboots to bios every 10 days or so without logging any error to the logs. Another of my X13SAE-F servers with the...

I'm running two boards under high loads successfully and don't believe there's a better option. The driver issues during initial setup can be circumvented by installing the OS and updates remotely before using HDMI. The slow 13900k benchmarks on r23 improved considerably when I opened the case...

I finally found the menu where I could change the DIMM speed from auto to a max of 4400. That was good for an extra 3.5% on my multi-core score.

This is true--it's in the 0th percentile of results. Perhaps running Server 2022 is part of the problem. Oddly, the single-core r23 benchmarks are slightly better than average and thankfully that's most important for my workloads. Another oddity is that my non-QVL memory CT2K32G48C40U5 is...

I have some further data points on this. With an NH-D15 the board could deliver enough wattage but thermal limiting reduced the synthetic benchmark scores. My 13900K scored 2% better at 235 watts than at 275 where the CPU hit 99 degrees quickly and throttled. Throttling also occured at 235...

By unlimited do you mean anything greater than 250000 here?

I'm looking through the IPMI displays and don't think it shows that... unfortunately I can't reboot it to get into the bios. I worked around the 5 beeps by never plugging in an hdmi cable and found the IPMI address by listing devices on my router.

I don't think I changed any BIOS settings on my12900k build but I'm not sure today. I do remember getting those 5 beeps and no video after a dozen reboots and feeling like motherboard was completely defective.

I've been running a X13SAE-F and 12900k under high workloads for weeks and it's been perfectly stable. It's completely headless though so if there's a GPU issue I wouldn't have hit it. The last parts arrive tomorrow for my next X13SAE-F build with a 13900k and I'll post the benchmark results...

SuperMicro did release the 2.0 bios for 13th gen support on the X13SAE. I had registered for notification and never received any but it's on their BIOS download site so I've ordered one and a 13900k

Good point. That board showed up within the last 24-hours and I hadn't found it yet.

And 6 months later one of these is finally in stock! Newegg has the Z690D4U for $638. AsRock lists it as supporting 13th gen (Newegg doesn't) and no Raptor Lake cpu is yet on the QVL list. If AsRock Rack can confirm it's ready for an i9-13900k I'll buy one today.
