This is a home network and the router is a SOHO router (installed with FreshTomato) and does come with basic firewall capabilities even though it is not an enterprise class I admit. Thanks

Thanks that's the answer I was looking for. I did mention PC to make it simpler in truth is a small device with an IP that I consult briefly like once/week or so, so no traffic generated what so ever. I also appreciate that if ESXi is down for whatever reason this device will not be reachable...

I have two identical servers in different houses, they replicate each other overnigh: FSP 1200W 80 PLUS + PLATINUM Adaptec 6805T 2x SSD system 256GB (RAID1) 2x HDD System 3TB (RAID1) 3x HDD DATA 8TB (RAID5) 1x HDD BACKUP 5TB 1x NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB (for video encoding and stream) All...

The title says it all and perhaps I should try before asking but I think this is an interesting topic any ways. Say I have a server with multiple ethernet ports if I connect a PC directly to one of the spare NICs (cross-ethernet being a must for PC of course), assuming it's all within the same...

Simple: the IPMI interface provide detailed information of the hardware status. Not all the info is made available/understood by ESX. CPU temperature would be a good practical example: I can only get it via IPMI. So yes I agree most of the time I connect remotely and my packets arrive from the...

Thanks guys, an additional cable is the way I have it set it up now. It's just a bit unpractical compared to my old Tyan motherboard as I now need a mini switch next to the server where before I just had a long cable from the router into the server and would have been enough. Out of all the...

I hear what you say but I'm not sure about the BMC being completely detached form the other NICs on the board. Check this out from the IPMI settings: Dedisacted is what you described above, The default value is "failover" which essentially means if BMC is not directly connected to an ethernet...

My old Tyan motherboard had all the ports shared though so i could use any physical port I wanted. I have tried the IPMI in shared mode (not failover) it words via the other NICs, so no need to have physical connectivity but for a reason I can't explain VMs only can't reach the IPMI ip, LAN...

I have just reinstalled ESXi onto my "new" motherboard a SuperMicro H8DGi-F Essentially out of the 3 physical NICs: the 2 primary are see by vmware, no probs but the IPMI card is just not there. I guess I need to install manually the right vib or something? Looking at the manual it seems like...

Ended up buying these: So going for the adaptor option and I will still have to do some minor DIY with copper to extend the surface as it's not wide enough... I'm also planning to add 1 (for the time being) 92mm PWD fan to them which should be an easy job compared to. I'll keep you posted!

The U12DO A3 are EOL and very difficult to find, if any second hand mainly. As I have two motherboards I would need 4 and would prefer new from single supplier. As mentioned I'm pretty happy to "adapt" the heatsink but I need one where the base of the heatsink covers the full CPU surface...

I think I got what you mean now! the holes are further away... What a pain, extremely difficult to find a suitable heatsink without using the adaptors (which I'm trying to avoid). I'm wondering if using the 2U passive heatsinks for socket G34 and adding a 92mm fan on top would be a...

Apologies, I don't really understand your first sentence, "G34 has longer brackets than Socket F/C32 so the coolers for them came with both " would you mind re-phrasing? In the meantime since they are cheap I am buying these adaptors...

Hi here, I've just go a Supermicro H8DGi-F motherboard with dual sockets G34 I also got 2x opteron 6380 (115TDP) and I'm now looking for silent CPU cooling options what would fit and perform well. According to this page: https://www.quietpc.com/opteron-coolers Socket F (1207) / C32 and G34 have...

Following up on the very same topic as this thread, https://hardforum.com/threads/tyan-s8225-memory-memory-configuration-help.1990116/ (btw many thanks to Skimani for all the helpful information provided!) I'm now trying to work out if adding 4x Samsung M393B2G70BH0-CK0 16GB on this Supermicro...

Many thanks for all the help here. I will definitely report back as soon as I can get the chance to install.

Great input thanks and great also the link provided, incidentally I do run ESXi on top of this hardware so it's important to leave Node Interleaving off. Just for me to fully understand this, what is that reference to SPDs on page 70 under DRAM Timing Config?

Memory received but I won't be able to physically install until end of the month due to work travelling interference :-/ In the meantime I'm reading the Tyan manual in regarding memory configuration: ftp://ftp1.tyan.com/doc/S8225_UG_v1.1.pdf It seems like page 68 is the most relevant for RAM...

yes that's a good deal just bought 4x16GB and this board does indeed support ECC, my current old, slow and faulty RAM memory does it, I've even enabled basic ECC check in the BIOS I thought it might help since I'm running vmware ESXi on it. I suppose this RAM is DR right? I'm hoping to make it...

Thank you this is very informative. It is difficult to find something that has a good balance between performance and especially cost. Based on all the reading here and elsewhere I was thinking to go for the Samsung M393B2G70BH0-CK0Q9 They are relatively cheap and readily available second...

Ok cool, according to the second image SR/DR can run at the same frequency (1600MHz), but the very last image I uploaded states that Tyan recommends DR over SR. I did my reading and some people mention that the advantages of SR are not that visible and somehow for certain operation DR does...

Excellent reading, I'm still confused on the Tyan official documentation though, are then 4x16GB-(UDIMM/RDIMM - SR /DR) at 1.5V the best option to the to the RAM running at 1600MHz?

Hi there, I have a tyan S8225 with 2x Opteron 8 cores each. Can anybody please help me understand what is the memory limitation here? I'm reading the manual and it's everything but clear to me: https://www.tyan.com/Motherboards~S8225~S8225AGM4NRF~documents~EN Relevant pages: 26-27-28 e.g. I...
