thx guys. not sure which I did helped. i moved out all the data. deleted the array and change from thick array to static volume and reflash the firmware. it so far has been stable, swapped the power cable too.
has been stable so far.
dedobot : logs just say improper shutdown. didnt say anthing at all. that was the first thing I checked.
spartacus09 : original ram is only 1 GB. i swapped for a 1x 4GB, available is only 3GB. yes, it has a stress test app but it doesnt run in a loop. yeah, the drives are the limiting factor...
i have a qnap 659pro2, 871 and 1282. my 871 was loaded with 8x 6TB, at one point the QNAP came up with a bad firmware that cause all my 6TB drives to die. according to HGST, the mainboard got burn out. HGST was blaming on QNAP, and QNAP denied. eventually they came out with a corrected firmwares...
I got a friend's NAS that seems to be unstable. he says it randomly reboots. he has brought it over to my office. when not in use, it seems it's fine. or at least when i use it, it's fine. his issue is it would randomly lockup or reboot.
I have backed up and removed all his data. he is running...
i do agree on macOS is ideal for video because of their ProRes codecs. and HEVC. I have seen a few macOS with 40 cores and 1tb of ram last year. they were mostly HP z8 with macOS. thats what most people are running in china. they do offline edit with macOS then they throw the rest to PC or...
lol i spoke too soon. 2hrs prime95 and system froze. zzzz i'm at least stable with 1333. any idea why i cant go above 1333 when everyone else can? mobo or cpu?
if i tighten 1333 from 9-9-9-24 to 8ish. is the speed bump significant? or it's just a waste of time?
now the question is should i leave it @ 1333 and stop playing with it and focus on the CPU or keeping trying the ram?
OT: i tried 3 sticks(12gb) 4.8ghz @ 133*36 @ 1.37v
primed for 5hrs=ok
I didnt trying a few times, i just 'felt' 1.37 would be ok. LOL
looks like my 990x is looking good...
zzzz. i tried pushing to BCLK160 to match to DDR3-1604
QPI 1.4v
dram 1.65
vcore 1.3
multiplier=24=3.8ghz
ram timings=9-9-9-27 1T
system still freeze.
I tried DDR3-1333
8-8-8-22-1T
QPI 1.4v
DRAM 1.65v
rock stable. primed for 10hrs=ok
i had the impression that the ratio kept...
i changed the rams to kingston hyperx 24gb kitset.
KHX1600C9D3K6/24GX Intel X.M.P, DDR3-1600, non-ECC, unbuffered DIMM 24GB
6 - 4GB 9-9-9-27 1.65V
and still have the problems
HOWEVER i got it stable @ 1333.
i emailed asus and they said
"**Due to Intel® CPU spec definition, XMP DIMMs...
any other applications to stresstest the rams/cpu other than prime95?
i know that passing prime95 doesnt mean it's stable.
currently running prime95 w/1 thread is because of temps
1 thread= 4.5ghz
6 threads=4.4/4.2ghz
12 threads=4.1/4.0ghz
P6T7 has this 'HIGH TDP MODE' that drops...
i'm now testing on 1600 it seems quite stable. I have set prime95 to 1 thread using 20Gb ram. gonna leave it running for a while. will update the results. thanks for all your help..
just curious, the fault lies with the CPU rather than the ram? i just find it weird that i have to dial down...
