    Code Compilation, Web Server, Game Hosting... Epyc, Threadripper, or Consumer CPU?

    Having enough ram makes a HUGE difference. SSD speed is often about 1/20th ram speed, and Hard disk are 1/1000 ram speed. If you are using either to supplement insufficient ram capacity, that will make an enormous difference. Another thing to look at is bring up process monitor. When you...

    Thoughts on a low power NAS and VM server

    I know that zfs hates usb. Zfs performs copy on write, and usb performs blind writes, and will often get ahead of itself. It relies on the OS to be extra diligent. So don’t expect performance on your nas with disks on usb. As of 2017 The os has to do reads after it writes to verify that the...

    Rome Epyc 16, 24 and 32 cores sub 200w TDP - 2133 vs 3200 effect on workloads that require multiprocessing over compute

    Yeah, Ryzen is the sports car Epyc 9004 is the semi truck Rome is the schoolie And 8004 is the delivery van. Not as big an engine, but efficient and able to carry a load long after the wheels fall off the schoolie, while being price competitive with a schoolie. Schoolie is a school bus...

    Rome Epyc 16, 24 and 32 cores sub 200w TDP - 2133 vs 3200 effect on workloads that require multiprocessing over compute

    Have you considered epyc 8xx4? each core is about 60% faster than 7xx2. and 30% slower than 9xx4. 8 cores under $450 90 watt tdp 16 cores under $650 125 watt tdp 6 ddr5 ecc channels 96 pcie5 lanes 8-64 cores I have seen these showing up on retail sites this week...

    Code Compilation, Web Server, Game Hosting... Epyc, Threadripper, or Consumer CPU?

    Here is the result of running geek bench on my epyc 9124 with 96GB of ram in 3 sticks from windows: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/2378670 The single threaded performance on that is 100% faster than the 7xx2 processors and 60% faster than the 7xx3 processors While the 7xx2 processors are...

    Supermicro H13SSL-N and fans oscillating between low and high speed

    If you look at this board: https://www.gigabyte.com/Enterprise/Server-Motherboard/ME03-PE0-rev-10 Those chips on the motherboard by the far pcie4 slots are retimers. You may be able to use passive cards in this board for remote pcie.

    Supermicro H13SSL-N and fans oscillating between low and high speed

    PCIe 5 is very finicky. Put cards in the slots, for anything off board, use a cable to a mcio port. If you must make the pcie slot remote, it will probably need a retimer on the card. This is why they sell this board: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/h13ssh It has 10 x8 mcio...

    Supermicro H13SSL-N and fans oscillating between low and high speed

    Most RDIMMs are incompatible with dual dimms per slot, and are optimized for single dimm per slot, and already doing the interleaving that you can achieve by installing matched dimms, which achieves that extra 3% speed. I just bought the commodity rdimms on the supermicro approved ram page. When...

    Supermicro H13SSL-N and fans oscillating between low and high speed

    I have the By the way, you will get collisions between your ram sticks and your PCIe cards with that motherboard. I have the H13SSL-NT and the genoa epyc 9124 with 96gb in 3 sticks. By the way, the first siena boards and chips started shipping this week, but not in atx format.

    DIY NAS feedback and tips

    So 90TB. In the grand scheme of things, local storage is nearly free if you are going to be paying $540/month for B2. At the rate you are paying for B2, may as well add a local parity drive so you don't have to perform the 9 day download as often when you lose a drive. Also think that it may be...

    Best way to do 240v split-phase with a UPS?

    I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but: https://signaturesolar.com/growatt-5kw-split-phase-transformer-ats-5000t-es/ That is a 5kw split phase transformer. I think you are supposed to fill up the legs fairly evenly, and it turns off if you fill more than one leg to 1/2 of its...

    Server Query

    You may need more local disk for the sql server, with independent backup, ie to your NAS, running the data store for an SQL server from a generic NAS will probably be too slow. Another option is to virtualize the server and lie to the guest OS to its hardware capabilities so that their...
