What's the latest with the Intel i225/i226 Intel NICs? Previously, there were 3 revisions of the i225 (B1, B2, and B3) and then intel released the i226. I still see posts at various places with people still experiencing issues with all 4 versions of these nics and dropped connections to a...

Current machine for Davinci Resolve and photoshop has a 7302P (16c; 3.0ghz/3.3ghz, 128MB L3, 155w) with 8x 32gb DDR4-3200 to populate all 8x memory channels on a Supermicro H11SSL v2.0 series board. Recently saw that Rome 7F52 processors (16c; 3.5ghz/3.9ghz; 256MB L3; 240w) were going for about...

Bridging Ethernet Ports in Virtualized Firewall on ESXI I have a switch with a couple of 10GbE ports, but all are used. I need 1 more 10GbE switch port. Both my main TrueNAS box and the TrueNAS backup box are virtualized on vSphere ESXI and both have dual port Intel X550 10GbE adapters...

The APC batteries in my SMX1500RM2U failed about two weeks past the two-year mark. The battery pack in this unit is made up of 4x 12v 9ah batteries all wired together. APC branded replacement pack RBC115 is over $250. I’m happy to rebuild the pack if I could just find some quality batteries...

Just picked up a CSE-847 chassis that holds 36 LFF HDD's and has 7x 80mm FAN-0126L4 fans. It appears to have the traditional 4x fan wall found in the 846, but also has another fan wall directly behind with 3x additional 80mm fans right behind the front fan wall. Are these additional 3 fans for...

I'm looking to buy a BPN-SAS-836A Supermicro Backplane, Direct-Attach SFF-8087. These go in the 836 chassis. I've been able to locate a couple of BPN-SAS-826A backplanes for about $35, but haven't had any luck finding a used BPN-SAS-836A. Thanks!

I'm looking to build a dedicated firewall server for a 1gb fiber connection and noticed that some of the Xeon E5-2600 v4 / E5-1600 v4 Broadwell CPU's are now less than $100 ea. on eBay. Are these still viable/relevant parts in 2022? Or should I be looking to something from a more modern...

https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/accessories/addon/AOM-TPM-9665V.php I'm looking at Supermicro TPM's and was wondering which would be needed for an AMD Epyc 7002 series CPU running on a Supermicro H11SSL series motherboard running Windows 10/11 Pro as a workstation? According to...

How loud are Supermicro 2U Chassis? I have a 3U that is used for file server/backup duties and its relatively quiet when not being hammered. The CPU has its own active heatsink which likely helps. Any experience with the 2U chassis and getting them relatively quiet?

As the title says, does anyone know where Supermicro typically locates the "System Temperature" thermal sensor on most of their motherboards? I found an old FAQ post from Supermicro from 10+ years ago and it was near the "floppy disk connector", but I've been unable to find anything more recent.

Supermicro has posted the latest AMD Epyc drivers for Windows. I am using these on a 7302P system with a H11SSL-NC board on Windows 10 and everything appears to have updated. https://www.supermicro.com/wdl/driver/AMD/SP3/

Looking into picking up and donating a couple of R610's or R710's for a local non-profit that will likely have about 50-75 users during certain times of the day. Planning to upgrade their 4 old 802.11g off the shelve consumer access points with 4 of the R610/R710. POE+ switch equipment is...

I'm looking for a quiet POE+ gigabit switch that has at least 24 POE+ ports. Any suggestions?

I have a E3-1240 v3 & X10SL7-F combo that was just upgraded with something more powerful and am looking to re-purpose them into a nice little firewall system. The E3-1240 v3 runs stupidly cool and quiet, so I'm kicking around the idea of throwing it into a 1U Supermicro chassis as it would not...

I noticed that iOS now lists WPA3 as a security option for new wireless networks. Has anyone made the leap yet to a WPA3 access point?

I just completed an AMD Epyc 7302P workstation build using a Supermicro H11SSL-NC board with the following components: CPU: HPE AMD Epyc 7302P 3.0/3.3GHz Boost; 16-core; 128MB L3; HPE No. P16667-B21 Heatsink: Supermicro SP3 AMD Epyc Heatsink SNK-P0064AP4 RAM: Supermicro 4x 32GB 3200MHz DDR4...

What are considered safe operating temperature ranges for 2933/3200MHz DDR 4 RDIMMs? I'm trying to dial in noise and cooling on a AMD Epyc 7302p build and don't want the ram getting too hot, but also want to keep the machine as quiet as possible. Thanks!

I just received an AMD Epyc 7302P new in box from HPE via the thread below and noticed on the 7302P that it has the 6 lines of laser etchings, with the part number, item number, serial number, Diffused in USA, Diffused in Taiwan, and then on the last line, all of the Rome CPU's I've seen...

In the comments for the STH Supermicro H11SSL-NC Rev. 2 review, there is a post about not being able to flash the onboard SAS3008 from IR to IT mode. Can anyone confirm if they have been able to flash it to IT mode and if it required a different procedure than is typically used? Looking into a...
