    AU WTB <5yo ITX/DTX M/B w/DDR4/2.5G+

    Hi, Looking for a board from 2021 or newer, DDR4, PCIeX16, 2.5G or faster ethernet, M.2 NVMe, has to be ITX or DTX cos I need to fit it in a FormD T1, it should be able to take a sub 80W TDP CPU. In my dreams it would have thunderbolt and/or bifurcation. Happy to pay international shipping...

    Eight SFF-8643 to eight M.2 NVMe

    Hi, I have a Mini-ITX board with a single PCI-e slot, I want to connect eight M.2 drives. I have a Linkreal PCIe switch card with eight SFF-8643 connectors. Has anyone seen a PCB that has eight SFF-8643 connectors and eight M.2 22110 sockets? I've seen the single port ones but buying eight...

    X11SSH-LN4F & E3-1235L-V5 woes

    I spotted 6 bent CPU socket pins (2 pins were pretty crooked), I've done my best to straighten them (with a stereo microscope and fine tweezers) but it's still not working, obviously I have no idea how the pins line up with the CPU on it, especially the pin heights as this is hard to measure...

    X11SSH-LN4F & E3-1235L-V5 woes

    Hi, I have a Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F, an Intel E3-1235L-V5 processor (I've never tried this CPU on this board before), and a 16GB ECC DIMM that I powered on today, it worked fine on its VGA port booting into the BIOS (I think it was a BIOS from 2020) a couple of times, I didn't change any...

    LB1606R woes!

    I wasn't able to fix this, I arrived at the conclusion that on a few of my drives I had borked controllers, I gave up on them.

    AU WTB: four 3.84TB MLC M.2 drives

    Hello, I want to buy four 3-bit MLC 22110 3.84TB M.2 drives, like the PM983. Fewer larger capacity MLC drives with the same or similar total capacity (~16TB) would also work. I'm not interested in anything with over 500TBW. You have to be willing to ship to Australia. Thanks for looking...

    Sandisk Lightning power modes

    Thanks, life wouldn't really be life without a few mistakes along the way, buying old MLC SAS drives was a mistake that I won't repeat. You live and you learn. Running eight LB1606R close together would go a long way to helping heat your house lol :)

    THE CHIA FARM

    @Bert I got four 18TB SAS cheap, I've found they do run hotter than the same model SATA drive and so I put my SAS disks in an external JBOD with decent cooling,

    THE CHIA FARM

    I've moved to multiple low-power harvesters, it just purrs away and I don't really spend a significant amount of time on it anymore, I farm solo and I'm just playing the waiting game, I'm hodling the XCH I have until at least the first halving. Summer is coming and so my solar/battery storage...

    Sandisk Lightning power modes

    Hi, Is anyone familiar with these drives, I have some LB1606R and I'm trying to figure out if I can put them into standby to save power, some posts over on the UNRAID forums provide the following info, I tried this but as you can see it doesn't seem to work (it should show additional sense...

    LB1606R woes!

    This worked at getting rid of the partitions:sudo wipefs -a /dev/sd lol, this command seems to create the three partitions, probably because its direct to disksudo fio --filename=/dev/sd --rw=write --bs=128k --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --runtime=30 --numjobs=1 --time_based --group_reporting...

    LB1606R woes!

    Update: I think I have this figured out, leaving it up in case it's useful for someone else. Hi, I started building up an Ubuntu 20.04 Server last night with eight used LB1606R, the drives are interesting to say the least. Challenging could be another word I would use. Five drives were OK...

    Dual E5-2678v3 processors with 256GB RAM

    Hi, Chances are this is just a faulty processor. Has anyone used a dual E5-2678v3 processors with 256GB ECC DDR4 RAM (8x32GB)? Reason I ask, I just installed 256GB on my X10DRL-i with dual E5-2678v3's and it throws up memory errors. Now the memory errors "move" when I swap the CPU's around...

    E5-2678v3 @ 139$ SR20Z 2.5GHz 12 Core

    I have two of these processors on a X10DRL-i, one has gone bad I think (post #17). With the working one what would be the best motherboard to transplant that to?

    X10SRL-F bad RAM slot or defective CPU?

    Thanks for the thread, same "uncorrectable" DDR4 RAM issue on a X10DRL-i processor 2 memory slot, tried moving RAM sticks, lowering the memory speeds, cleaning everything and booting out of the case, no dice, ended up swapping processors around, the error moved to P1, I guess thats a CPU gone...

    Some drives not seen after reboot...

    8 drives just dropped, I was able to remount 3 of them, have to unplug and plug the other 5. This issue is getting worse. I'm thinking that it could be power because really the only thing thats changed the number of drives. I'm at 42 drives now, this time last week I was at 36 drives, I have...
