    Supermicro X9DAX-7F and E5-2667 v2 1c turbo not working

    As it says in the title, in the course of building my new workstation to replace my aging x5690's I picked up an x9DAX and pair of E5-2667 v2 chips, which work fantastically but the turbo behavior is being... odd. They do turbo from the 3.3 base to 3.6 which is in line with the 3/3/3/3/4/5/6/7...

    Pfsense(or Opnsense) on a Cisco ASA-5512-X

    I recently decommissioned a pair of 5512-X units at the office because they couldn't keep up with our incoming connection anymore. To my suprise when I took a peek inside one of them I found a fairly conventional layout with a Pentium G6590 in it, usb boot, socketed ddr3, sata storage and the...

    Mikrotik Router question

    I recently purchased a pair of CCR1036 units to replace our software limited ISR4331 units as BGP routers, in that capacity they're doing fantastic but we quickly found the next bottleneck, our ASA units can only handle 200mb/s of traffic(because cisco I guess?) Our config isn't very complex and...

    POE test device

    Has anyone seen a small POE device that doesn't require a massive wall plug? I was hoping to find something small enough to fit in my tool roll but all the injectors are either big(with ac 2 or 3 pin in) or have a big wall adapter without folding plugs(which becomes a puncture issue)

    Supermicro board failing to post

    I have an X9-SRL-f that was working fine under server 2012 R2 until it suddenly wasn't. Now the board will turn on, I'll see the bios start to load and then suddenly power off. At first I thought it was a bad psu although changing that had no effect. Swapping out the cpu and memory also didn't...

    Bugcheck errors at seemingly random

    I recently put together a new windows server for hyper-v at home on server 2016 and have been seeing this error "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000192" Initally I thought my old 3ware raid controller(a 9650se) was to blame but I disabled it(although it's still...

    Mikrotik is finally listing one of their 40gig switches on their website the 24+2 SFP+ and QSFP combo model, taking a look at it I wish these were available when I had to order data switches although i'm suprised to see a lower license level and memory included compared to the 10gig only...

    X9SRL unknown SAS controller

    I recently did a rebuild of my firewall using an X9SRL-f which has been mostly painless except i'm seeing an unknown sas controller attatched to the system From what I can tell it's the SCU which i'd really like to use since I need 3 of the 4 sata ports it provides. I already tried installing...

    Random question about allocation size

    I'm setting up some new storage servers and i'm looking at capacities north of 32TB, I know this means I have to use 16KB clusters at minimum but is there any advantage to matching my cluster size to the raid stripe size(64kb)

    PCIx and SFP+

    Is anyone aware of a PCIx SFP+ networking card? I know it's an odd combo and I found these Lot 2 Napatech 810-0016-04 NetScout NT20X 2-Port 10Gbps PCI-X Network Adapter | eBay although I'm not sure if they'll actually work, apparently they're "capture cards" And before I'm told to get a new...

    Building my own drive chassis

    I recently purchased a SAS HBA (over here in great deals) LSI Sas 9201-16e And I'm loving it so far it's quick and flexible and I have a few external ports left after looping it back into my tower for the ones I need. I've been toying with using some of the old cases I have to build an external...

    Sas expander question

    I'm upgrading my desktop and recently stumbled on this expander http://****/2vZyMiQ I'm using an LSI 9201-16e so the external nature isn't an issue, has anyone used this expander with an lsi card before? I know some(all?) of the hp controllers are adaptec not lsi so i'm concerned with vendor...

    Ryzen linux stability concerns

    I saw this article over on tech report, ryzen is encountering segfaults during a compile test, I realize this isn't a common workload for consumer chips(which I suppose ryzen is) but I'm curious if there have been any other similar issues AMD confirms Linux "performance marginality problem" on Ryzen

    LSI Sas 9201-16e

    Apparently these were on ebay for this price for a while but they're on amazon now, I stumbled on it looking for a new controller for my T7500 desktop and am just going to route cables back internally. 44 dollars with prime shipping for the LSI SAS9201-16e seems like a steal. Amazon.com: Lsi...

    Is something big going on at Micron?

    I was going through lexar PR posts and stumbled on this http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-45YXOQ/3060801079x0x729625/CEBDA2A2-B8AC-4DF6-B994-253CCAC94DA1/2016-10-07e.pdf It looks like something is changing at micron but my leagalize is a bit sparse to quite grasp what if any results...
