Hi everyone,
I've wanted to see how well FreeNAS would perform in back to back tests on physical vs. virtual hosts on the same hardware for a while now and finally have all the parts together to do some initial testing. My vision is to have a single box that can do it all for my homelab and...
Hi everyone,
I have the Rampage V Extreme and two EK D5 PWM pumps. The issue I have is that when I plug either D5 pump into the CPU or CPU OPT fan header, the pump does not spin, it goes down to 0%. When I plug the pump into a chassis fan header, the pump runs at it should and goes to 100%...
So I have a recently purchased Supermicro 847 JBOD and I have a little issue with the fans. It seems the fans that are connected to the rear backplane "spin down" after 15-30 seconds from power on, which makes sense because that's what pretty much all servers do after they POST. I also noticed...
I am thinking I can go with a Supermicro 847 JBOD for a use in my homelab, non production environment, so I can build my 36x spindle disk array for media storage and also have enough room for 4x SSD's for an iSCSI VM datastore and 2x SSD's for ZIL and 1x SSD for L2ARC and am looking at the...
Hi everyone,
I am planning on building either a 24 or 36 bay FreeNAS ZFS SAN with WD 6TB Red drives and a single or dual 9211-8i HBA(s) with two SFF 8087 connectors per HBA, and want to use a Supermicro board and chassis. I only have a budget for 24 drives, but I figure why not get a 36 bay...
Hi everyone,
I'm putting together an NCASE M1 V3 and wanted to go with a custom water loop that will include the CPU and GPU. I think I have pretty much everything listed, but let me know if you see anything that needs changing or looks off or not optimal. Also, does anyone know when the EK...

Hi everyone,
I am currently putting together a FreeNAS server that I will use for NAS, SAN, and iSCSI targets in my home. It will host my media via CIFS and also be used with an iSCSI target as a datastore for my ESXi home lab. Any feedback on my build list or potential issues would be highly...

It appears to be very difficult to find reviews where there is mention of the onboard DXVA performance of an Intel Z68 based motherboard. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on DXVA performance numbers on the Intel Z68 boards, or knew of a review that had some info. I would be using an...
It appears to be very difficult to find reviews where there is mention of the onboard RAID 5 performance of an Intel Z68 based motherboard. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on RAID 5 performance numbers on the Intel Z68 boards, or knew of a review that had some info. Thanks for any help!
