Was waiting till the full review to grab one. Definitely a viable alternative to appliance routers and 1U servers, and definitely changes the TinyMiniMicro math (Dual 10GbE without burning the PCIe slot). I didn't see any extra fan headers in any of the teardown videos - @Patrick did you find...

Thanks @BeTeP ! As usual Nvidia support is as clear as mud.

Apparently Nvidia made the Gateway License free for since MLXOS 3.4.3002, has anyone tried to upgrade an unlicensed SX6036 to see if this is true, and whether this applies to HP branded switches as well? I checked the HP support website, and the newest FW is from 2019 and upgrades to...

Very awesome Thomas! Thanks for putting the build log of this exact combo. Since you have both units on hand, if you have the time, can you check two things for me? 1) Is there any place in the chassis to mount 2x 2.5" drives? (either by design or with a drill) I was thinking of using them as...

Oh yea that was hidden, oh well given it's PCIe Gen3, can't really do much in 30 hours. Sent the dude a msg about shipping to Canada, lets see. Ebay won't even let you checkout if your shipping address is not the EU or UK.

Any reports on the SMART data from the drives? If these have been abused, there's no point.

Great snippet Patrick! More of that kind of industry journalism is super appreciated. Just as valuable if not more valuable than product reviews if for the only reason that almost no one covers that beat anymore except trade magazines. (Literally the only trace of two-phase cooling on Bloomberg...

Finally getting around to a lab cleanout. Shipping to CAN/US included Xeon 8124M Server Timestamps - $750 USD / $980 CAD SHIPPED (Case, PSU, and feline PM not included) Intel Xeon Platinum 8124m 18c / 36t @ 3.0GHz (Xeon Platinum 8124M - Intel - WikiChip) 96 GB DDR4-2666 Low Profile ECC RDIMM...

Oh for dual CPU mobos, the Gigabyte will definitely work. Wendell @L1Techs is still running his Gigabyte 2U servers with dual 8124M. He has the model number somewhere in his post on the L1Techs forums or in his video on the 8124M.

I'm actually selling my 8124M rig (I'll post it some time tonight, or you can PM me if you're in Canada). It has an AsRock Rack EPC621D8A board which obviously supports 240W TDP CPUs. The only other board that isn't AWS OEM that's known to work is Gigabyte's C621 board. Just remember you should...

@OriginalHutch How are you "installing" OpenWRT on the device?

The P4600 and P4800X are enough to form a proper ZFS array, an you post the S.M.A.R.T. data for the drives?

Would be an amazing for a branch router/SDN controller/security appliance if they offered it in MOQ:1 skus...

It's a TL-SG3210XHP-M2. So 8x 2.5G PoE+ ports and 2x 10G SFP+ ports with a Noctua fan mod. It's powering EAP660 HD APs, which works great, however for the other 14 ports in the house, using multiple PoE switches just to get 2.5G is a little overkill. The only other option is to grab a...

OMG. This is the switch I have been searching for the past 18 months but this switch is impossible to find outside of Taobao! (Spent the last 10 min trolling AliExpress) @Patrick if you or Rohit has a second, can you see if you can find the link to the AliExpress seller? Ironically, I have the...

@zer0sum Are you using just DACs, or any SFP+ modules also?

Need a quick sanity check ConnectX-3 temps (maybe @WANg if you still have your T740 with a CX3 installed): What temp does mget_temp_ext output from a CX3 when installed in a HP T740, without any extra fans bolted to the chassis for airflow? The MCX354 I have installed in my Lenovo m720q is...

Selling my sealed 3 TP-Link EAP660 HD Access Points. Never ended up installing them and moving to a smaller house. Price: $175 USD SHIPPED per unit (or pickup in Downtown Toronto) Power: PoE or included AC Adapter Uplink: 2.5 GbE Antennas: 4x4 Standard: 802.11ax Business/Enterprise Grade More...

Here you go: www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/sm3ig2/would_you_prefer_a_halfwidth_or_fullwidth_nvme/ The drawer is actually based on an earlier Netflix Open Connect appliance with a little bit of serviceability. Essentially the drawer is nothing more than a piece of sheet metal sitting on a...

Has anyone grabbed drives from the newest lot? It looks like they're sealed recertified drives now, so curious what that SMART data has to say.
