    Picking a board/cpu for a SMB file server

    Hi all, I am putting together a build for a file server that can handle some light VM applications. 10Gb NICs are ideal, and IPMI is required. Originally I was looking at the X12STH-F paired with something like a E-2378G but really prefer something with more throughput than the 2x1Gb ports &...

    How-to Guide Machine Check Exception (mce) workaround

    You bought a cheap off-roadmap Intel Xeon CPU from somewhere, but the hardware crashes and reboots, even when idle. You realize the CPU might have gotten thrown out from the hyperscaler's datacenter for a reason. That reason? Luckily, your CPU has extensive diagnostics and your Linux...

    [FS] [US-MN] Dell Precision 7820 / Xeon Platinum 8259CL / 96GB DDR4-2666 / 2TB NVME / Nvidia P1000

    Selling a set of workstations I put together to test the VRM modification needed to run these platinum CPUs. Everything works great, I'm also running these on my own server. Surprisingly they pull less idle power than my 6138 CPUs. These are very quiet also, which is a nice bonus! The tower...

    [FS] USA - NJ: Custom NAS/Unraid parts; Pelican rolling case

    Intel Xeon Platinum 8273CL Complete Info Guide

    I have pretty much learned all these through the "hard way" a.k.a failures. Not pleasant experience, but for the sake of anyone who is still interested in this processor, I hope this thread can give out some info to avoid going through the same pain I had gone through. Some background: I was...

    Supermicro X10DRG-OT+-CPU 2666mhz (or more) memory?

    I took out one CPU from this board and the ram downclocked to 2133. I then turned off POR and set 2400mhz memory speed. Everything appears to be using 2400mhz. I am on linux so there is no proper way to check, for instance CPUZ, but all looks well. The same menu allows speeds up to 3200. Can I...

    CPU Selection - MooseFS (MASTER Server)

    Is there somebody who has experience with CPU selection in a MooseFS MASTER server in a 40G/100G environment? MASTER server processes are single-threaded and core count does not matter as such. Therefore I would like to know from your experience how single-thread performance of a CPU scales...

    Most capable Xeon for X11SCM-F and 75-80W TDP?

    I've got a NAS (which does a lot of other things too) using an X11SCM-F motherboard and a Noctua 2U cooler. I'd like it to stay fairly quiet, but am interested finding out if I can upgrade to a more powerful Xeon than the E-2134 that is in there now. How does one go about finding *all* of the...

    Intel W580 vs C256

    I need to get a server board and CPU for a home server (storage, plex, etc). I am looking at two different board options. Should I go with a W580 or a C256 motherboard (and obviously the corresponding CPU)? And why? TIA!

    FS: Lenovo P620 Workstation :: Threadripper Pro :: 32 cores :: like new $4600

    This was acquired for a project that ended up going in a different direction and therefore has been powered off and hardly used. I'm not sure if there's a way to determine the power-on hours usage but my guess it is under 80 hours. This is like new and comes with the original box. The EVGA Titan...

    Hello, is nowadays a LGA 20311-3 with Xeon E5 V3/V4 still a good bang for the bug to upgrade a home server? Or is it blast from the past? Can I expect bigger changes in power efficiency or performance for newer platforms? Are there better ways to go today? For close to a decade, I am running...
