    ES Xeon Discussion

    I haven't modded a bios since 2011 Xeons, so I am curious. Is this by adding the correct microcode for the CPU or is there more involved ?

    RAID for Windows (That's Not Storage Spaces)?

    Just curious, but, what are you using to measure those read/writes, as my numbers differ.

    RAID for Windows (That's Not Storage Spaces)?

    What hardware are you running and how large an array are you contemplating? Would VROC work with your hardware?

    Making your own PSU EPS Cables

    Sorry, the delivery prices weren't/aren't available to me, as they don't ship to the US. Here the same item is $4.99US, free next day delivery. Good Luck ;)

    Making your own PSU EPS Cables

    Yes, I am in the US, but Amazon Germany has them also. As to price and whether it's worth your time, that's a personal decision ;) Using " pc power supply extension cables" as a search term, one example - InLine® ATX/AT Power Cable Network Cable Internal 1x 8-Pin Male to 1 x 8 pin/Female 0.20...

    Making your own PSU EPS Cables

    Forgive me if you have mentioned it, but is Amazon not an option for you? They have 18ga. power supply extension cables readily available.

    Help: recover raid-6 configuration on LSI controller

    YMMV ! I ran into a similar situation with an R6 on a 9361-8i (caused by a bad power cable). After changing the power cable, using MegaRaid Storage Manager (LSI Storage Authority also works) I changed the drives to "unconfigured good", selected "replace missing drive", then "make drive online"...

    Speed: Dual 9754 > 1x 9965?

    FWIW - I can't speak for AMD, but do have experience with Intel (and Windows). I have a a W7-2475x 20 cores running at all cores 4.8ghz and dual 8260Ls each at 24cores running at all cores 3.1ghz. The 20 core 2475 is much faster at single task, but there is no comparison at multi-tasking, the...

    Findings with Asrock W790-WS, Xeon SPR-SP D0, and BCLK OC (and lack thereof)

    Just a thought. I have the Asrock W790 WS motherboard, I use it with a E7-2475X CPU, but allow me to make a suggestion. It would probably be helpful to those in this thread to always state which bios version is being used, as I have noticed a slight, but quite measurable increase in performance...

    LSI Authority doesn't show the "Configuration" option

    Sorry, I do not have any 9500-8i's, nor any LSI, Avago or Broadcom HBAs, so I can't give you specifics. But it should be covered in the User Guide for whatever LSA version you are using, and in the guide (or links to) that came with the card.

    LSI Authority doesn't show the "Configuration" option

    Using an Asus motherboard, you will find the configuration page(s) for the 9500-8i in the Asus bios pages in the storage section. Please point out on what page you think you see this?

    LSI Authority doesn't show the "Configuration" option

    Neither LSI Authority and MegaRAID Storage Manager "make" a RAID array, they simply provide a GUI front end for the card to be used in Windows, Linux, etc. They simply access the cards settings. They can do no more than can be done in the card's bios. They can't make a card something it isn't...

    LSI Authority doesn't show the "Configuration" option

    9500-8i is a HBA adapter, not a RAID card.

    ASUS W790 ACE + Intel W5 3435X Processor Performance Lag Problem

    FWIW - I can report that Windows Pro for Workstations 24H2 has no issues with W7 2475x and is faster than 23H2 on an Asrock W790 WS with the Power Plan set to Ultimate Performance and no "anti-lag Tweaks", if that is any help?

    No love for Intel LGA3647?

    I use Cascade Lake-X CPUs (8260Ls ES, all cores running @ 3.1 Ghz) in my workstation with 48 Gb memory running @ 2933mhz. While there are a lot of faster things out there, for now they suffice just fine for 4K and 8K video work I do. Besides, who doesn't like seeing 96 logical processors working...
