    RolloZ170 helped me get a dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8592 ES Q2SR up and running on Gigabyte MS73-HB1 and a single on a Gigabyte MS03-CE0 No stability issues

    As I said, different models of fans, but easy fix, I set 65% and all seems solid and temps seem low

    On my end they remained around 800 and would keep going to 1k and back down to 800, cpu temps even during a full load cinebench or something top out at 49-50 max

    Silver stone and Noctua's, but as I said I solved my issue by setting a fan profile that just kept a specific speed, also using silverstone water blocks, so it’s not like temps are an issue for me I was just sharing with the other guy I had the same issue

    in my case all the fans were new out of box, replaced them all again new out of box and all did the same thing

    Ive installed and reinstalled windows, never had that issue but like Rolloz170 pointed out, I pre purchased the TPM2 modules and put on boards before installing anything

    Had the same on two systems, using Silverstone water blocks (one is single cpu the other dual), i just set a constant fan speed, that stopped it, under BMC

    Just a follow up, that ES 8592+ I setup as a firewall is working perfectly reliable, no issues and far better performance than my previous dell server with dual 8280s. So another ES success story

    that’s been my results and other colleagues, offloading cpu/ram and gpus, the intels were just always snappier, vsan with Mellanox (nvidia) Nics always just worked and worked well on intel platforms etc

    I’ve owned a bunch, Shelby cobras etc, but I switched to first a Lamborghini which is fun but the roads where I am suck, noticed a lot of friends with super cars eventually go Porsche so I ordered a new 2025 4 GTS and haven’t touched my cobra once since, also ordered a 2025 turbo s, which I’m...

    AMX from Intel has some advantages, again simply maturity and adoption, back when Intel was outselling AMD 9:1 (now 2:1), I’m sure things will catch up but Intel CPUs just have some advantages, as I said, “my tests” are specific to things I do not in general, some specific things were written to...

    it’s not but red hat for example does it without much effort, I also find it less laggy in Linux distros, predominantly used in Linux so maturity

    You and I are the same lol I’ll retest amds but we were pushing gpus in those systems as well, that was 2/3 years ago maybe things changed a lot but atm this is me playing around I want to do some of the newer intel gear but starting at these as 1500 for a motherboard and two CPUs doesn’t...

    personal history I’ve always had bad luck with AMD lol I’ve always built the latest amd and Intel boxes for gaming and this was the first time amd won :p For servers I’ve never had issues with Intel, not a compromise o just recall last epyc I played with cost me like 3 months running esxi vsan...

    You missed my response on how I use to just call dell and they’d give good deals and now I can’t get anything worth a nickel to a reasonable price. I’ll test AMD next but I don’t care about “efficiency” I like the best, in this case before I go buying 10-15k CPUs I want to see if there’s any...

    I have roughly 20 cards here to play and test with, it was about what was "fastest", it just won the race, I can probably accomplish the same with the Blackwell 4500 but just so happened to get 12 of the 6ks, though 90% of stuff is direct play, there's the odd time, depending on what device...

    I can speed test anything and max out, enable BBR in debian and 90% of speed tests I get my 3GBps (Dual 3Gbps uplinks) and work has a dedicated 10Gbit installed but I dont push my personal stuff over that :) I was one of those weird long ago earlier adopters of replacing ISP gear with my own...

    I tested with Qnaps, synologies etc, found they all kind of sucked, so for storage, I ended at Supermicro 4U SuperStorage Servers, picked up two, bought 60 15TB SSDs off ebay so I run two of those with DP 100GB uplinks to me Cisco Nexus 9504 core (which can go up to 400Gbit, but then I'm just...

    I like as good as I can possibly get :p I was using RTX 6000 quadros, but there was 3-5 second start latencies, tested a 4090, down to about 2, then a 5090 which downed it to almost instant (512GB DDR4 Transcode Ramdisk, all PCI 4 Raid 0s highpoint adapters), moving to all PCI 5 next week or...
