    Need component help/advice on building 4U server

    @dtessman: The build worked out great. I ended up using the Rosewill case with most of the rest of the things I listed. The only gripe I had was that the power supply I got didn't 100% fit in the case, so I was only able to screw about half of the screws, and the power supply is kind of...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Thanks for the replies. I will be calling their support team again today, but I don't know what else they can say. Hopefully they will offer some good insight. I will follow your x86 POST troubleshooting steps and will report my findings. The only addon card I have is an LSI RAID adapter...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Hello, I wanted to re-bump/open this thread as I have some updates (and some bad news): I ended up getting a replacement motherboard from Supermicro (did a cross-ship due to time constraints). I did a full swap, and now the problem is even worse. When I have all 6 DIMMs (total: 48GB) in...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Hi Everyone, Well I tried blowing some serious air into the DIMM slot and no luck. I then said what the heck and removed one of the CPUs (in the slot farthest from the back of the case/ports), and I couldn't make out any bent pins. Do you think it's even worth removing the 2nd CPU to see if...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I was away all weekend so now I'm back to see if I can get this problem resolved. Yes, the above configuration is the way I have the DIMMs installed. All the RAM modules are identical (Samsung M393B1K70DH0-CH9). Even if only 1 of the slots isn't working...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Ok, I will give that a shot. In the case that all the pins look good, what's the next course of action? Is there any chance that the DIMM socket is bad?

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Are you talking about CPU socket or RAM socket? If RAM socket, is there any way I could test that socket? I've installed probably over 100+ RAM modules over the years and never have I damaged a RAM socket...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    I'm 'opening' this thread again, as I am now running into another problem. I was successfully able to get the system to detect all 32GB RAM. Now, I have purchased 2 additional 8GB RAM modules (for a total of 48GB), and when I install them in the correct place (according to the reference...

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Thanks for the replies. I accidentally installed them thinking I had all 6 sticks instead of the current 4 sticks, and followed the 6-stick configuration I am running 2 CPU's, so it is properly seeing 32GB now. Thanks.

    4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

    Hello, I have built a 4U server, using a Supermicro X9DR3-F motherboard. I have purchased four 8GB DIMMs, Samsung M393B1K70DH0-CH9 ECC sticks. Ultimately I will be purchasing a total of 6, so I have 48GB RAM, but they are sold out at certain places and 4 is what I have so far. When I...

    Need component help/advice on building 4U server

    Many thanks for the responses, everyone. I am going with 4U simply because space really isn't an issue and I thought the more, the merrier. in addition, this machine is being housed in a place where there should be adequate air flow, but in the event that air flow/temperature is tight, I...

    Trying to build SFF Server, advice/help needed

    Honestly, IPMI sounds like a great feature, but if I don't have it I'm not going to lose sleep. I don't envision this machine having problems, and when it does I can simply hook up one of my monitors and keyboards/mice to it to troubleshoot. So it sounds like I should get a system that's...

    Trying to build SFF Server, advice/help needed

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it. Do you still recommend I go the Atom route if I were to also use SQL Server on it? Nothing too intensive but just put a DB server on there so alongside the software development tools. In addition, for the future, does that Atom motherboard...

    Trying to build SFF Server, advice/help needed

    Thanks for the replies. My primary use for the server will be: 1) File storage/access (includes photos, media streaming, etc.) - ideally I want to use this as my main source of media and I will want to have this in a RAID (mirror) type environment in case one of the HDs goes bad. 2)...

    Dell XPS M1530 user, looking for new laptop, help/advice needed

    I need 8GB ram because my memory gets maxed pretty quickly. I sometimes run a VM on there, in addition to numerous software development tools. My HD keeps thrashing as the OS is mercilessly using the page file. So if it were you all, would you buy a new laptop or keep my M1530 (btw it has a...

    Dell XPS M1530 user, looking for new laptop, help/advice needed

    I looked around to see prices on upgrading my 4GB ram to 8GB, and the prices are $160 and up! Why so expensive? This is SO-DIMM DDR2 memory. I know DDR3 memory is much less expensive, but I am under the impression that DDR3 SO-DIMM memory will not work on DDR2 SO-DIMM motherboards. Is...

    Any Core i5/i7 15-inch WUXGA (1920x1200) laptops being made anymore?

    Thanks for the replies. Yeah, the two reasons I want the 1980x1200 instead of 1920x1080 is: 1) My desktop monitor is a 24" 1920x1200 Asus MK241H, therefore when I Remote Desktop between the two, I have 1:1 resolution. 2) I love the little bit extra screen space. If I get a 1920x1080...

    Radeon 4770 slower than 4850? Help needed

    Thanks for the tip on the FarCry 2 maxfps thing. I'll give it a shot. Now, if I buy a 2nd Radeon 4770 and do CrossFire, will games 'assume' that I now have 1GB of memory, or still 512? I'm asking because I know a lot of excess HD access in games is caused by having to constantly load...

    Can't overclocking the Radeon 4770 much - help needed

    I'm not really sweating over it, its just that I've always had good success overclocking stuff that were supposed to overclock well (back to the Celeron 300A o/c'd to 450Mhz days).. but it's no big deal.

    Radeon 4770 slower than 4850? Help needed

    I see. Well, I saw different benchmarks, and I could've sworn they showed the 4770 outperforming the 4850 in certain benchmarks. Is it that big of a difference though? Like 5080 FurMarks vs 4311 FurMarks?

    Radeon 4770 slower than 4850? Help needed

    Can't overclocking the Radeon 4770 much - help needed

    Well, as far as CPU temps are concerned, because I unlocked the 4th core, AMD Overdrive doesn't display the temps properly. How else could I measure the CPU temp? For the Radeon 4770, when I overclocked it, the highest it goes is around 72 degrees on 100% load (running FurMark).
