Hi Trying to flash my IBM M1015.. unfortunately my motherboard requires me to use the EFI version of the flash utility. Tried to download it from LSI... zip file downloads fine, but the efi flash utility is replaced by a text file saying this: FILE QUARANTINED Microsoft Forefront...

Looking for a powersupply for my file server, should be able to support ~30 HDD's. Whats up with all the powersupplies these days having absolute crap 5v rails? Seasonics 1KW PSU has 25A on the 5v rail.. Corsair aren't much better at 30 A and the list goes on... A new 2tb HDD draws 1.2A on...

As the topic heading says. I'm trying to find a reasonably priced server MB with IPMI that takes one of the new (cheap) core i7 CPU's using socket 1155, that has the new AES instruction set. I've found the SuperMicro X9SCA-F ... but it says it only supports up to i3, and I don't understand...

Hello Thinking about building a 2x quad core xeon system, but I am a bit confused about the different xeon models... The server is primarily going to be used as a file server (ARC-1280ML + ARC-1220) and while developing .NET applications (VS2008, MS SQL Server). This is the current list...

Hello I've got 2 Norco RPC-4020 cases, one has motherboard, CPU, ARC-1280ML, ARC-1220, bunch of disks. I am planning to put more disks in the second case, but don't want to turn it into a full computer, so I figured I'd simply route cables from case #1 to case #2 and make damn sure that...

Hello Is it feasible for you to load test the PSU's you review at ~220v? Or is the load tester 120v only? Reason I'm asking is that most of Europe is running somewhere around 220, and it would be nice to have some figures for that as well :)

Was a while since I asked for this, (6 months) so I figured I'd make a new thread instead of reviving the old one. I need a motherboard that can take ONE Q6600, that can use unbuffered ECC ram (ddr2 or ddr3). It needs to have at least 2 PCI-e slots that are at a minimum 8x electrical and...

Hello I'm trying out WinRoute, and it seems to be working fine.... EXCEPT that it corrupts and/or delays UDP traffic on the _LOCAL_ network when the machine that WinRoute is running on is involved, for example when streaming an xvid from server to media box via NFS (UDP traffic). With...

Are there any tools for testing network stability and such for a LOCAL network? Ie, a network that has nothing to do with the internet whatsoever. I suspect me skimping on cables (UTP in cable lists ..) had a quite negative impact on my network performance, but I can't really find a good tool...

Can I just buy any random PCI IPMI card and plug into a Gigabyte 965P-DS4? Or do I need a new mobo? :/

I need a few of those tiny 3-pin fan connectors (the end that goes on the cable) like the ones that are used for the graphic card fan, NOT the CPU fan connectors. Anyone happen to know what they're called, have an article number or anything for them? My googling skills seem to be lacking .. :(

I need some help with picking a motherboard, and was directed here from the Intel Motherboards forum, since "the server people hangs out here" =) These are the requirements: 1. Quad Core support (Thats ONE quad core) 2. Support for ECC DDR2 3. It needs to have at least 3, preferably 4...

I need some help with picking a motherboard, these are the requirements: 1. Quad Core support 2. Support for ECC DDR2 3. It needs to have at least 3, preferably 4 PCI-E 8x slots (electrical), physical size can be either 8 or 16. 4. Those 3/4 slots need to be able to run a raid controller, so...

Anyone happen to have photos or a link to a worklog of someone that has stacked two Lian Li PC-343 cubes, or bolted them together side by side?

Hello Anyone know of an online retailer in the UK or somewhere else in Europe that sell Areca products? Specifically the ARC-1280. Needs to accept PayPal for payments too, and preferably not in a country with insanely high sales tax (like where I'm from, Sweden, 25%) Tried googling, but...

Hello What would be best for running a lot of HDD's (think 20-40+, no graphic card) off a PSU? A single rail from a kilowatt-class PSU or multiple rails? And how many drives do you think it could run before blowing up?

Right, you're going to laugh me out of the forum for this... but. I have a Q6600 with a FX5200 in a PCI slot (I ran out of PCI-e). While using Win2k3 I had some fairly up to date drivers that I could use to play 1080p without issue (CoreAVC, CPU did all the work). However, I forgot to...

You know those "slide in" HDD cages that for example the Lian Li's use? Or any of the other cases with "screwless" HDD cages Anyone know where I can buy something similar to those for use with a case I'm planning on building? And if not, can anyone come up with an easy way of constructing...

Right, small overclocking issue. I did read the stickied guide in the Intel forum, and did Google around. Q6600 B3 stepping Zalman 9700 HSF Asus P5B-Deluxe 4x 1gb Corsair PC6400 sticks 8800GTX With any 2 sticks of RAM installed in any 2 memory slots I can get the computer to POST at...

Hello I can't seem to figure out what the requirements for staggered spin up are, and I seem to get conflicting information. So, someone that knows for sure, what do I need to get my drives use staggered spin up, assuming I have the following. A normal PSU. A bunch of Seagate 7200.10 SATA...

Hello Looking for a cube case with room for at least 30 HDD's. Either using built in racks or 3to4, 2to3 expanders in the 5.25" slots. Not interested in 3to5 expanders. Currently have my eyes on the Lian Li PC343B, but I'd like something thats a little deeper than 46cm. Any ideas...

I'm looking for a PSU capable of powering around 30 HDD's and one E6600. I have no interest in quad PCI-e connectors and such, all I need is SATA power and Molex connectors. One problem is that it needs to fit in the Lian Li PC343B with HDD's mounted, so it can probably not be deeper than...

Hello Setup is as follows: 2.6GHZ C2D on a Gigabyte 965P-DS4 2gb PC-6400 DDR2 8x 250gb 7200.9 Seagate HD's running on the mobo controller in various software raid setups that aren't important. Areca 1220 controller 8x 500gb 7200.10 16mb cache Seagate HD's, firmware revision 3.AAK...

The DUTY commander in the Bar level gives a mission to go retrieve a Bulldog 6 grenade launcher. In order to do this I have to convince the Chef to tell me where it is. The problem is that I kind of cleared out the entire Freedom base earlier during the "blow hole in wall" assault, so that...
