    12Gb/s ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA Controller - $135.40

    took some Google fu to get the correct version. I managed to flash the IBM firmware from 22th of June 2017. My SC847 lights finally work like they should now lol... Also some unsupported disks are now supported :) Guess I just have to flash IBM firmware instead of AVAGO Sent from my iPhone...

    Currently using a ServeRaid M5210 in MR mode (JBOD... no (hw) raid config).. but it just says unsupported and can't perform any action on it. Will check if I can find someone closeby to re-format them for me .. :)

    Can't switch them to JBOD nor change block in megaraid software as it shows unsupported. As my motherboard is in for rma i'll probably send the disks back ;/ Might be fixable with a ubuntu live cd though Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Yeah but that's E5-2630L (low power) + v4 (more efficient) ^^. Hence my debate for swapping my E5-2650v3 for E5-2630L/E5-2650L v3 or going with a E5-2630L v4 .... can't use the turbo unlock on the v4's... but a low power v3 with turbo unlock seems really good.

    Ha I have the supermicro SNP-48 something I think, with a modded top that adds an extra exhaust 2nd cpu, and one behind to have both cpu1 and 2 run about same temp (default cpu2 would overheat). Also added 2 200mm fans at the front to get additional air towards the chassis. The cpu placement...
