Tom's Hardware recently dropped a product release announcement for a mini PC with a PCIe slot on top of the case, externally accessible, for use with any GPU of any size/width. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ryzen-9-7945hx3d-mini-itx-pc-puts-gpu-slot-on-top-of-the-case I see this product...

Is it possible to enable IB on the Mellanox ConnextX-3 Pro CX314A-BCCT? Or can I cross flash it to a CX354A-FCCT?

Has anyone here tried using enterprise U.2 drives like the Intel P4510 as a desktop/gaming drive AND also used modern Gen4 M.2 drives? How do they compare for the purpose of gaming and desktop duty?

I have a 12G SAS SSD with unusually high latency. I'm looking for ideas about what to fix. I've already tried swapping out cables and HBAs. I've also tried updating the firmware on the HBA. The high latency is visible in the Proxmxo Ceph OSD overview screen. Sometimes this value hovers at...

Take a moment and look over this PDF: https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/BPN-NVMe3-216N-S4.pdf It's an NVMe backplane that was designed to connect to 12 OCuLink cables. On page 2-3 (below), there is a description jumpers J26 & J27 to select how many drives are connected to which CPU...

This is a Windows question, but let me set the stage first... When I reboot a Ceph node, Proxmox provides a nice graphical representation of Ceph's rebuild/recovery status. This information lets me know when all data is fully synced and when I can reboot the next Proxmox node. Is there a...

I've got an old Asus Z9PA-U8 motherboard with the optional ASUS ASMB6 management device installed. I was successfully using the BMC functionality up until I powered off the system, then the BMC stopped responding. I went over to the system, powered it up, and after a few seconds, the BMC...

With the recent news about the burned/melted 12VHPWR connector on a RTX 4090, I started wondering why the industry continues to use (what looks to me as) variations upon the old Molex connector for newer, higher power uses. In my mind, Molex-style connectors have thin plastic walls and thin...

I have a Windows 2016 server with 2x 2TB Intel P3700 SSDs + 36x 8TB Spinning Rust. They were configured as a tiered RAID6 using Storage Spaces (not Storage Spaces Direct) using code similar (but not exactly the same) to this: $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"; $StoragePoolFriendlyName = 'Middle...

I'm having an absolute bitch of a time standing up a multi-node lab deployment of Kolla Ansible OpenStack (KAO). All steps of deployment work great until the deployment step, which always fails at the same spot: "TASK [nova-cell : Waiting for nova-compute services to register themselves]"...

Does anyone know which PCIe slots and other motherboard resources are disabled if you run a DL360 Gen8 with only one CPU? I've been looking (unsuccessfully) for a motherboard block diagram similar to this one for a Supermicro motherboard.

I'd like to pre-order a STH window decal. It would look great on my white Grand Cherokee...

This document shows it supports variable sector sizes of 512, 520, 528, 4096, 4104, 4160, or 4224 Bytes, but sector size is not the same as page size. Does anyone know the page size used in the P3700 SSD? Thanks!

Does anyone have an Asus ROG Aura Terminal that they would part with?

With the RTX 3000 series now on the market, it looks like NVIDIA has chosen to squash all blower designs. If you want a blower, you need to look at the older Quadros, or the newer RTX A6000. Well, this is a problem for me because I when I upgrade my desktop GPU, I like to put the older GPU...

I'm looking for any documents and compatibility matrices for the PDB-PT825-36824. The only documentation links I can find are here: PSU Cable List FAQ Entry #24122 The 23-pin PWS-1K41P-1R and PWS-1K41P-SQ will fit and fill up the entire slot. The 19-pin PWS-1K21P-1R also fits, but doesn't...

The Problem: I have an old AMD Opteron 2000 system that is experiencing hyper-transport sync flood errors. I can't even install an OS without the system crashing/rebooting. At one point, the system crashed with sync flood errors while I was updating settings in the BIOS. I've tried...
