Thanks. Yeah I had same thoughts as well and tried multiple BIOS versions but issue was still there. I feel it likely has to do with voltage values DELL uses.
I worked around the problem by installing an extra fan in front of the CPU cooler to give it a push / pull setup. This helped a lot, but...
Having and odd issue with SpeedFan where the Fan RPMs do not change at all, but Fan % does change on Auto setting with custom Fan Curve.
RPMs do not change at all until 65%. As soon as the Fan % reaches 65%, Fan RPMs immediately go to the max 5000+ RPMs (going from 65%-100% does not make any...
I'm in a similar situation, also have x58 build that I've upgraded to the max over the years (see signature). I love this platform and can't believe it allowed me to keep it fully functional for my workloads for 12+ years.
As @In2Photos said, if you can afford to wait for AM5, it might be...
It's been a while since I built a new rig and a lot has changed. Need advice picking a good DDR4 RAM kit for my new i9-12900K build, which is the last component I need to pick.
I've decided to go with DDR4 since I need 64GB and a DDR5 kit is just too pricey and wouldn't justify 2-3% performance...
Wow thank you guys for all the replies. I honestly did not anticipate so much useful feedback. A lot to go through and read up on proposed options. Will follow up shortly.
I'm well overdue for a new system and need upgrade advice. My current system specs are listed in the signature, its a battle tested X58 system that's been with me since 2009.
Frankly I am amazed that this platform lasted me almost 12 years. I've done everything I can to upgrade it, maxing out...
Quick update: finally got around to setting this up, figured it would be interesting to share results.
Setup details:
- 2x Cisco SFP-10G-T-80 Compatible 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper RJ-45 80m Transceiver Modules
- 2x Mellanox ConnectX-2
- Cat6 Plus ~60 meter run (Plus is not an actual spec, rather...
Hello - I'm looking for 10 GBase-T / SFP+ transceiver to connect 2 separate SFP+ switches over CAT6 distance of ~40-50 meters. However I could only find transceivers that do up to 30 meters similar to this product. Does anyone know of any transceivers that can do over 30 meters?
If 30 meters is...
Windows backup was the first option I tried, but quickly found out that host level VM backup w/o VM shut down was not possible. Shutting down VMs isn't really an option in my use case as my network depends on some of those VMs.
I have a mix of Hyper-V VMs and physical machines that I'd like to backup to an Unraid server on the network. I don't mind using different software for VMs and physical machines.
I did some research online and found Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition, its free for up to 10 VMs which I...
My issue is actually reverse of that, uploads are normal, but downloads are slow if Jumbo is enabled on the virtual adapter inside the VM. Host's physical adapter and virtual switch both have Jumbo enabled without any such issues.
I don't have Jumbo frames enabled for entire network, only on...
Thanks for the reply. I completely understand your point, but I don't think that is happening in my case because I have other non-VM machines with Jumbo Frame MTU enabled and they do not have this issue. The issue occurs only on VMs for some odd reason.
Question: is there any way to not set Default Gateway but still use DHCP?
The only way I could avoid setting Default Gateway was by changing TCP/IPv4 properties and setting static IP with empty Default Gateway field. Curious if there's another way to do that in Windows.
Much appreciated! I got it working :)
It is a very clever workaround that you suggested - it will actually be quite useful for web server VMs, or other scenarios where default MTU is needed and Jumbo Frames could be set up on 2nd adapter for backups/etc.
Thanks. That worked partially - I'm able to force all internet traffic via 1 of the adapters, however same adapter will be utilized if I copy a file from a network folder. Not sure how to force 2nd adapter to be used for local network.
Interesting idea. I have not considered this.
I assume then I would need to somehow set 1 adapter to default as internet and the other to be used for LAN connections - any idea how to do that?
Spent hours trying to resolve this, so definitely needing some advice. Seeing very slow internet download speed only, but fast internet upload and fast local network download & upload on guest OS / VM.
I have a 10 Gbe setup with ConnectX-2 card and a T1700G-28TQ switch. All is well on the host...
So I know that identical RAM from different sets / kits may cause system instability. I'm talking about RAM with identical brand & serial numbers but with a different batch number (usually a 4 digit number).
I've had first hand experience with this issue with regular non ECC RAM - but my...
So I would like to always open a specific website using VPN or a Proxy. Ideally this would be like a browser extension or another browser (I dont mind using a separate browser for this) so that the process is simple. Basically I just want to open the site and have the browser ensure that its...
This is a regular drive, not shucked.
Turned out to be a firmware issue. @mikeymikec thanks for mentioning firmware, that pointed me in right direction.
Turns out that this line of drives HD203WI had a bug in firmware where it would not work on some AMD chipsets and chipsets supporting...
Having a really weird issue where one of the hard drives is not showing up in BIOS when connected to onboard SATA port. The drive is working fine without any issues in another pc / motherboard, so I know the drive is good 100%. Using Gigabyte Z370XP SLI motherboard, the drive is a 2TB Samsung...
Update:
Decided to go with most recent 9th Gen CPU & MOBO and ended up getting Gigabyte Z370XP SLI & Pentium Gold G5400
Happy to report idle power consumption at the wall in Windows & UnRaid is 21.4W, without any expansion cards or drives, just mobo, cpu, 16gb ram & stock cpu cooler.
This is...
Yeah I figured ITX boards would be lower in terms of power consumption but those would be pretty limited in terms of options, extra slots always come in handy later on.
Yeah, now I'm not so sure. I think they might be from different motherboards. Other benchmarks I saw were very close with gen 7 Pentium idling ~2w lower but being ~2-3w higher under full load. So gen 8 Pentium idles slightly higher but is slightly more efficient under load. Anandtech turns out...
If you're running Ryzen 3 2200G - please share your idle power consumption.
Please mention how you measured and if using on chip integrated iGPU or a dedicated video card / dGPU.
Also, indicate if you're on 110V or 220V.
One thing that makes comparing power consumption quite difficult is that reviewers don't disclose if they're on 110v or 220v
220v consumes half the wattage of 110v.
Plus different motherboards used in tests.
Haven't checked all CPUs, but from what I've seen 8th gen Pentiums idle about ~ +8 watts more. Here are some of the sources I've seen:

So far thinking on settling on G3930 or G3930T (low power variant) with ASRock Z270 KILLER mobo as it has dual m2 slots I want for unRaid cache.
I also plan on running 10GBe Mellanox ConnectX-2 card - would G3930 be a enough for 10GBe or would it bottleneck ?
