Doubt it's power for the board, more like power for an additional device. Like a video card.

It looks like power input, look at the big trace that leads to the interconnect. 2 lanes of trace appear to go to the node molex based and gold contact based.

The GPU 6 pin you can see on the other end of the motherboard actually, that would probably be a pass through for PCI-e.

8 pin EPS can do up to 300 watts, and 4 pin EPS can do up to 150 watts.

You may be right. A similiar power board has this description: "Converter board to allow powering up openrack blades without the rack and busbar. It was specifically designed for lab purposes."

Which is awesome. You could use a 1200W HP platinum PSU, breakout board and do 8pin to 8pin EPS. And power 2-4 of these nodes. Could probably even layer them in a 4u case with stand offs, add fast 120mm fans.

Hey guys, I just bought some RAM and the weirdest thing happens when I try to test it. The BIOS (or command line in Ubuntu) will get about halfway through the mem test then the system will restart. Is it a bad stick? How do I find out which one it is without the test having finished?


Thanks!

PS: I have a WYWINN (if that matters)

Edit: I found the bad stick

All of them are Quanta, not Wiwynn and support v2 Xeon E5.
Also each node can handle up to 4 PCI-e devices with a converter + active PCI-e risers. And they actually support GDDR5 GPUs, any OS.

What riser do you have in the 4th pic? I have tried this before without luck, and I would love to give it another shot.

Does your power supply adjust the fan speed depending on the CPU load or just use them for maximum speed?
And does anyone work on this motherboard V2 processors ?

Windmill (F03 board) works fine with V2 CPU's.

I just upgraded my F03 board from "F03_3B01" to "F03C3A07" and DMI table now is empty. This is normal behavior?

JSchuricht, thank you, i allready installed IT. but still many unknown devices in the Device Manager :(
and the system works not correctly. can not walkthrough stability tests, unplanned restarts, freezes...

Have you tried to look the VEN_&DEV_ of that particular device via google?

sure. i searched a lot for Devices ID - nothings results in google...
they all looks like
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0E1A&CC_0880
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0E15&CC_0880
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0E86&CC_0880
...

Hi,
Can anybody help me with the backplane fans?
My fans never reach its full speed despite CPUs overheating while barely being under full load.
I see some jumpers on the backplane, some even mention fans... There should be a way to make fans more agressive, or to set on manual control...

Does anyone have any ideas?

And thanks in advance!

What do you mean by over heating? Do the CPUs thermal throttle? Are the heatsinks warm/hot to the touch? Have you checked the thermal paste? Is it a problem transferring the heat to the heatsink or getting the airflow to cool the heatsink?

These systems are configured to run the fans at the minimum necessary for the conditions specified in the document, which includes running the CPUs hotter than you'd expect but under their thermal limits.

CPUs run at 70 degree Celsius just after ten minutes of 100% load (unless ambient temperature is 15 degrees); heatsinks get hot, and the pulled air is really warm too, but fans operate at the lowest speeds (slightly faster when system gets heated), I know this, because once I pulled out one fan and made it run at 100%, and it was a rocket!

And I don't want to have a rocket racket, but fans being a bit louder to sustain CPUs under 73 degrees is perfectly reasonable, and heck, it will be alright to have a turbine noise when it's necessary.



These CPUs have max T Case of 73 degrees, that's why I'm worried so much.
