Hi,
Because of power costs here, as well as noise, I have to be picky with PSUs. I'm building the following system:
My other concern is PSU compatibility with the IPMI BMC. I have no idea if consumer PSUs cut the standby power too much, or if the BMC won't be able to stay on during power cycles.
This is happening to me with an Asus iKVM ASMB6 mounted on a Z9PED8-WS board. It means I cannot power cycle the system without losing all access to the BMC. If power is cycled or cut off, the BMC won't get any standby power. I heard this is common for Asus ASMB6's, and it is ridiculous. The PSU is a Corsair HX750 on that system and I had it happening with other PSUs too.
Hopefully someone can sort out my numbers! (and maybe chime in with information on the BMC issue with the other system? I might create a thread for that).
Because of power costs here, as well as noise, I have to be picky with PSUs. I'm building the following system:
- Supermicro X10SDV-7TP4F (Xeon D-1537)
- LSI 9300-8i + expander or ext port bracket (or 4e4i), got a 9300-8e at hand I might sell.
- 96GB ECC DDR4 ram: 3 x 32GB RDIMMs.
- 6 WD Red 8TB disks for ZFS pool (NAS duty).
- Assorted SAS SSDs and Intel DC S3500 and S3700s. (4 HGST SAS SSDs, or more, up to 5, and room for 8 of the the other SATA SSDs)
- Noctua fans: 80mm and 92mm.
- Chenbro 4U case with 5.25 bay backplanes.
- Using the two SFP+ slots for 10G P2P, to VM hosts. With DACs.
- Populated M.2 and mSATA.
- SeaSonic SS-520FL2 520W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLATINUM
- be quiet! Straight Power 11 450W 450W ATX
- or power variations of the above, unless something else in a reasonable price of Gold/Platinum efficiency ratings (and quiet) is available in Europe.
