Hello all,
Very early in the year I built an W680 chipset with an Intel 13900k i9 13th Gen CPU. 64GB of ECC DDR5 Ram. Needed a good Home Server / Lab. Replacing an 4th gen i7.
Had a faulty 13900 CPU, replaced it. Would get an blue screen immediately, while installing the OS.
Tried 3 different W680 boards
Settled on the ASUS W680 ACE IPMI but now I'm getting blue screens upon loading server 2022 when I'm adding more memory to the board.
Before that, I had an SSD was that causing the system to reboot every 5-6 days. Weird I know.
Bought another brand of 64GB of DDR5 ECC. Same results.
Tried two differnet 850 platinum PSU's.
Memtest86 passes all 128GB memory.
4U ATX Chassis with room for 8 3.5" drive.
Replacement / which route?
I was think trying an W790 but I might end up the same issues, saw a post about memory issues on populating all DIMMs
Dell or HP Server (Used)?
DDR4 Xeon?
Threadripper
EYPC?
Budget around 1k - 2k.
Wants:
Windows Server 2022 with a couple of VM's for Ubuntu & Home Assistant, Plex, Blue Iris and 14x 4k Cameras and analytics. Getting into Proxmox and containers.
Hope for something with similar power as my 13900k
Need 3x NVMe, Boot Drive, VM's SSD, & 4TB for camera storage
So far, 3x 16TB WD Gold 3.5" HDD's (Storage Space volume)
Not really an AMD guy (since early 2000's) but whatever is reasonable.
Would like IPMI but an PiKVM would work. Couldn't really get my ASUS IPMI working with HDMI out.
HDMI output please (view cameras on an remote HDMI monitor)
Don't want a video card if I can
10G Fiber (Have the NIC already)
As many 1G NICs as I can get. I need 2 at least.
