    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    There's definitely something wrong with pfSense's ix drivers. I installed VyOS as suggested and it pushes 8Gbps without breaking a sweat, CPU usage is less than 10% while speedtest runs full speed. I'll have to spend some time to get to know how the firewall rules works but I'll keep VyOS as my...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    Just repasted mine yesterday and got 5c off, mine is the 1U unit with Atom C3808 and it runs about 45 degrees on idle now. Changing topic: Does anyone runs these systems as 10Gbit firewall? I installed pfsense+ on mine, betting it would be enough for my 10Gbit WAN but I'm experiencing all...

    If you're still lookint at installing opnsense on this machine via console, here are the settings I used to install pfsense on mine: set boot_multicons="YES" set boot_serial="YES" set comconsole_port="0xe060" set comconsole_speed="115200" set console="comconsole,vidconsole" boot Don't forget...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    Ok, I was finally able to run some tests on my 1U C3808 unit running pfSense+ 24.11. I know iperf3 isn't the best tool to test router performance but it's a good to measure throughput. pfSense is as tweaked as my knowledge can go. Not running any kind of IDS/IPS. Running inter-vlan routing I...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    I got it to work, even installed pfsense via serial. Ubuntu was a no go though.

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    There's something really wrong with this "fix" they applied... I just got a xgs-pon stick today (WAS-110 based, to try to bypass my ISP ONU) and while I was testing it, I tried plugging it to the werid port and guess what? It's up... although it doesn't show likn speed, it's up and I can connect...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    This is port 9. Thank you for checking. As I suspected, my system doesn’t detect anything I plug into ix3. For the sake of debugging, I tried Ubuntu 24.04 with latest ixgbe drivers from intel and even so, nothing gets detected. I’m waiting for a DAC cable to arrive since Qotom said DAC...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    Could anyone check with ethtool -m if SFP+ port 9 detects any modules. It's the last SFP+ port on the system. This is what Qotom sent me: Now tell me.. how can it "works well" if the module doesn't get detected? :rolleyes:

    Here’s the manual for anyone who is interested. Just a heads up, it’s a 12 pages PDF with no mention of BIOS whatsoever, basically just pinouts. https://1drv.ms/b/c/a80581ef5a231b98/EZtCGMGMcrlPsPgHBKRLf0oBt6Itnyk0uBvcTSoTekKeSQ

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    It doesn’t. It took me hours to get pfsense installed using serial console just to realize one of the SFP ports shows “no carrier” while the other 3 detects the same module just fine. Edit: Got in touch with Qotom and they are sending me a new motherboard and pre-paid shipping label to send the...

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    One of the SFP+ ports doesn't recognize a module... should I be worried? :( Tested the same module on all other ports and they seem fine.

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    Just got my machine yesterday and while I’m waiting for the VGA to HDMI adapter, I reached out to Qotom and asked about the Console port, they said it‘s enabled by default and sent me a couple pictures, one of the RJ45 pinout and one of the serial parameters. EDIT: They will send me the...

    Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

    I updated pretty much everything, including the MS-01 itself since I had to RMA my older unit. When the new unit arrived, it was already loaded with BIOS v1.22 but I updated Intel microcode using the files on github, and updated all proxmox packages using apt-get. I have a strong feeling that...

    Turns out the issue was in the computer, not power supply. Sent them an e-mail and after a few exchanges they approved RMA, just got the new unit yesterday, 20 days total. Any luck having P+E cores enabled on Proxmox with latest Intel Microcode and BIOS? I left my E cores enabled to test...

    My MS-01 suddenly stop responding today, when I went to check it, I couldn't turn it on and the light on the power supply was blinking. When I unplugged the power supply from the pc, the light was solid green. Has anyone have this issue before? I'm thinking it may be the power supply that went...

    If it happens again I'll try disabling HT first, I believe the performance hit will be lower than disabling E-Cores on the 13900H. If it doesn't help, then I'll try disabling E-Cores. Thanks for the tip Were you able to RMA it? How did you test yours to conclude it was a faulty CPU?

    Anyone else running Proxmox 8.1.4 with Intel Microcode updated and getting random reboots? Funny that it's rebooting while CPU usage is at 1~3%... a few days ago it rebooted twice on a single day. Would disabling HT help?

    Same result here with liquid metal (Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme). Temps are 20+ degrees celsius lower than before. Before I apply liquid metal, my cpu temp was hitting 80 to 90 degrees while transcoding a video with hardware acceleration properly configured, now it stays on low 60s. If...
