    Worst 5900X CCD ever?

    I'm returning it. Not happy with the difference in temps between CCD's and clocks. Remounted it several times and also tried a different cooler, always the same. I'll report back when I get e new CPU.

    Worst 5900X CCD ever?

    Yeah, I've done 4 remounts and the cooler in different orientations. Always the same 10°C difference. Mounting pressure seems good also. I'll try to change around the standoffs, just to rule out everything.

    Worst 5900X CCD ever?

    This is Cinebench R20 multicore load, but the 10°C difference is there always in multithreaded loads. If I run PBO "overclock" it's also over a 10°C difference. My problem is the high temps on CCD1. CCD2 seems pretty good. Also seems to only boost to 4,75ghz in single core loads on Cinebench...

    Worst 5900X CCD ever?

    Seems like I got really unlucky with one of the CCD's on my 5900x. Using a NZXT X63. Running pump and fans at around 50-60%, but no difference at 30% or 100%. Tried to reseat the cooler 4 times in different orientations, but always the same. This is running at locked 1.256V (1.3V in bios with...

    Proxmox, WOW!

    Ok, so I've tried Esxi, Hyper-v, Xen and some other stuff but I've gotta say this new version of Proxmox is really frigging fantastic. All the features of high availability, backup, and scalability of the free hyper-v server and with the friendly easy setup of Esxi. Best of both worlds...

    Help me choose a Z170 motherboard..

    I would go Gigabyte because as far as I know they are the only manufacturer using Alpine Ridge. Have a look at the gaming 7 motherboard.

    Server 2012 R2: Host not responding to pings, but virtual machines are...?

    Without thinking, I rebooted a Server 2012 R2 machine after running Windows Update. Now I can't ping or connect to the host itself (running static IP), but the virtual machines on the same server are just fine (using one of them as a OpenVPN server to connect to the network)... How can...

    ESXI - Changing reported CPU Mhz

    Hi. I have underclocked a 3,3Ghz cpu to 2,8Ghz to reduce heat, powerconsumption +++. Esxi is still reporting the cpu as 3,3Ghz. Is there some way to change this in Esxi? The problem I'm seeing is that the virtual machine is getting 100% load, but esxi sees this as only about 80%...

    Best BIG cpu heatsink max 152mm height?

    I may sound stupid, but what is an AIO?? I was hoping to put in a "tower" heatsink as these are generally better than the flat laying versions like the C14 and TC14CS.... -Kaj

    Best BIG cpu heatsink max 152mm height?

    Hi. I want to get a bigger heatsink for my cpu but the computer is mounted in a 4U 19" rack case, and the tallest heatsink it can accommodate is 152mm and most good (noctua d14) are about 160mm... Does anyone know of a great heatsink that would fit? And YES, I want it as big as possible...

    DUAL intel pro 1000/pt adapter in PCI-E x1 port?

    Hi. I know this is a PCI-e x4 lane card, but has anyone tried it in a x1 slot?? I won't get full speed on both ports, but it should be fast enough for my needs.

    IKVM with PCI-E graphics card installed.

    Mainly BSOD problems installing/enabling the card... Though I have not tested with latest drivers... Maybe I should give it a go again.

    IKVM with PCI-E graphics card installed.

    No, still no update from Tyan... I've tried a little bit with the 6450, works great in OSX but I'm having problems in Win7. When they release the Bios update, I will for sure try some more (although I doubt the bios update will do anything different for the success of graphics VT-d in win7)...

    He,he... this reminds me of the time I tried to use a drill on one of the screws of my friends WD Bigfoot drive trying to get the damn thing out... :D Yes the screw came out, but at the same moment the drill-bit slipped the screw and I pushed it straight inside the machine splitting one of...

    No go for M1015 in ESXi 5.0?

    Please ask them to make hdd spin-down available on the LSI 2008 controllers (9211-8i). :D I did not know it when I bought my Tyan motherboard with bulit-in 2008 controller. I'm trying to make my system use as little energy as possible, and I didn't check if it supported spin-down... My...

    I'm already on the latest bios update (v1.03) and the latest BMC firmware (v2.00). Thanks for the suggestion anyway as this could have been the solution. -Kaj

    IKVM with PCI-E graphics card installed.

    I've been in contact with Tyan support, but they could not give me a straight answer and had to look into the problem. They said they made a "ticket" for the problem, and will contact me again at a later stage. If I don't hear back from Tyan next week, I will contact them again. I'll also...

    IKVM with PCI-E graphics card installed.

    Hi. I know this is probably not the right place to post this, but my guess is that a lot of you are running "server" hardware here, and should be familiar with the question. I have a Tyan S5512 C204 mainboard with IPMI and IKVM. My problem is that I can't get the mainboard to select the...

    Sata controller on a SAS-backplane.

    Hi. Probably been asked about before, but could not find anything doing a search. Is it possible to use a standard SATA controller on a SAS backplane with SATA drives in it? I'm building a Norco RPC-4224 server with a Tyan S5512WGM2NR motherboard with onboard LSI 2008 SAS controller and...
