I start with the background:
I have ordered from the seller Tugm4770 on ebay since I have read great things about him/her.
My order:
Motherboard - SuperMicro H12DSI-N6
CPUs - 2x EPYC Milan 7B13
Ram - 256 Gb DDR4 ECC Samsung
The CPUs came preinstalled in the motherboard as it shipped and I immediately installed two BeQuiet! Dark Rock TR4s and started the machine.
I installed HiveOs to mine monero and immediately the machine sat at 80 degrees celsius at idle and at 105 it was shitting down under load after 3/4 minutes.
I took of the coolers and remounted them without cleaning of the MX-6 thermal paste I already applied and added another bit (yeah I know, stupid me). Booted immediately to 100 degrees at idle.
Rinse and repeat, I took the coolers off again and cleaned the thermal paste, placed everything again and we are back at 80 degrees idle.
I subsequently ordere two Arctic Freezer SP3 4U-m after realizing that the BeQiet! coolers weren’t strong enough and after installing the new coolers I immediately noticed that a lot more war air was coming out from the back of them.
The motherboard is on an open test bench style place at the moment.
The idle temperature displayed in HiveOs still stayed at 80 degrees and I don’t understand what’s happening.
I contacted the seller and he suggested me getting replacements for the CPUs, but given that they both are hanging pretty much at the exact same temperatures I think that something is off and that it isn’t very likely that both CPUs are faulty in the exact same way.
I asked him for a screwdriver and will proceed in reseating them both when it arrives (odd that I haven’t received one in the first place, but ok).
Is there anything I could try in the meantime?
Big Site Note:
I cannot see the temperatures from the BMC/IPMI dashboard as the sensors say N/A so even tho I have the temperatures displayed in HiveOs, I am not sure that they are right.
I even tried installing Windows 10 and the CPU Package temperature are the same 80 degrees even tho the CCD’s are sitting at much lower temperatures around 40 at idle.
Conclusion:
I have built various consumer PCs in the last years, but I have never worked with enterprise gear before, so if I’m missing something really obvious or you have any kind of suggestion I would really appreciate your input.
