Almost RRP :) Only issue is they are out of stock until November 26th... https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80684I78700K-Core-i7-8700K-Processor/dp/B07598VZR8/ref=zg_bsnr_229189_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PJQ2VAM4QNK0SKM6K42W

Save up a little and get a 256gb SSD for ~$200 Or a little more and wait for 480-512gb SSD's to drop under $300 You should be able to fit plenty of VM's on a 256gb drive :D

Cloudshare is exactly what you are looking for :)

I use kill -9 all the time to blow away kvm virtual machines and haven't had any issues so far. If you want kvm, but prefer a gui and baremetal setup like esxi then try out Proxmox

huh...better kvm support? How so?

Try esxtop to work out exactly what service is using the cpu. Do you have IPMI on that board?

That shows the ipmi process eating it :(

ssh into it and run the top command :D To enable the local or remote ESXi Shell from the vSphere Client 1 - Select the host, click the Configuration tab, and click Security Profile in the Software panel. 2 - In the Services section, click Properties. 3 - Select ESXi Shell and click Options. 4 -...

Really depends on the environment as to whether it is better to have public or private dns servers configured. What type are the majority of requests? Is there a caching name server that is internal? Try testing with namebench to see what is optimal

The feature isnt mentioned in either the KGPE-D16 and/or Z9PR-D12 motherboards user manual and Asus support can't tell me, so I am wondering if anyone has tried it out at all? I think the Z9PE-D16 might support it? For anyone wondering what SR-IOV is read this

Spotwood that is awesome news. I was the one that emailed you asking about EATX and SSIEEB as well as the lower tray. I am definitely up for a case once I work out the parts, and I am leaning towards a 2P setup :) Thanks for the all the figures, I didn't think it was as simple as the combined...

Anyone know the speed difference between the 2P setups? 2 x 6282SE is 32 cores @ 3ghz = 96ghz) 2 x E5-2620 is 12 cores / 24 threads @ 2.3hz = 55.2Ghz

It's SSIEEB and not EATX

I have been eyeing that Asus board for a while :) Can it be overclocked at all like the supermicros?

Space, noise and heat are all big issues as I live in New York :( Looked at Spotswood's tech trays and they look pretty decent. How much noise does a 4P with hyper212's make? My current E3-1230V2 is running 30+ VM's when I need them. Mostly networking and security appliances so the load is...
