The 50 lines are not SuperFlower, they are Seasonic rebrands. The 00 lines are SuperFlower. Still a much better choice. though you might want to check the Good Deals forum, I posted a link to an $85.00 Seasonic X-850. Same PSU you're looking at, and Currently what's powering the Juggernaut, My Dual E5-2670.

SeaSonic X Series X-850 (SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready Regular: $124.99 With Promo Code: EMCEHEJ24 $99.99 After MIR: $84.99 Expires: 2016.03.07

Same stuff on the ASRock boards. Just make sure you're getting IPMI v2

Anything XX50 EVGA is a rebrand of SeaSonic Anything XX00 EVGA is a rebrand of SuperFlower Two of the best and most reputable PSU manufacturers out there. So yes That is a QUALITY PSU.

I also tried $65, they accepted $70.00 for two. With Shipping total came to $151.00

Is the fans on the NH-U9DXi4 in a push/push or push/pull setup? for both coolers? I'm afraid this question doesn't really make sense to me. There's only really one way to setup these fans and that is a Push/Pull config. Any other direction and you'll just be kiling the life of the fans as they will work against each other.

Thanks. I currently have the Supermicro SNK-P0048AP4 fans, and they keep the temps less than 65C, but they are a little loud. I was going to replace them with Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U, but it looks like I shouldnt spend the money to do that. I don't know if it was missed in my original comment, as I see some comments asking idle/load. 71C under FULL LOAD. ALL cores at 100% load for over 1 hour. These noctuas keep all cores under 33C at idle, and do the job very well, while staying relatively quiet under full load. EDIT: Its the Costa Rica Chip that runs at 71C under full load. All the rest stay under 68C at Full Load.

You're going to need some serious airflow to keep the temps down, and/or ducting... With 4U Supermicro SNK-P0050AP4 coolers with about sustained 70% load my CPUs are running 70c and the max temp is 80C. I may try changing out the thermal paste when I install more RAM. With my Noctua NH-U9DXi4's Full load prime95 small FFT's testing, I'm getting 71C after 1 hour. Not the greatest temps but under that kinda torture, I'm pleased. TJ Max is 100C for these chips so plenty of headroom. Strange thing is I have one Costa Rica chip out of my 4, and that one sees to like to run hotter..

@jwegman Thanks for the post! Exactly the last component I'm looking for in my x2-E2670 unRAID rig. I got an offer in for 2.

Welcome to the club! ... Now let me find you a membership card ... Good for 15% off the buffet at the Sizzler..

+1 to the NH-U9DXi4 ... or should I say +2?

This is all that my ASRock EP2C602 mobo has in the bios for ACPI configuration "Suspend Mode" [Enable]/[Disable] I can't really test it since I'm running ESXi on the machine, but maybe someone with windows can give sleep a try. Confirmed, Sleep & Hibernate do work with this board (ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16) Though it takes FOREVER t wake being that this is a server board. Deep Discount Server Seem to be the popular place. It's where I bought 4.

Tried getting the onboard intel C602 chipset a few more times with & without RAID0, still no success. Downloaded a fresh installation .iso, tried various USB boot creation tools, different USB sticks, every driver I could find including off the CD that came with the MoBo. Switched to the onboard Marvel controller, setup a RAID0, and Windows 10 installation picked it up no problem.. I dunno...

I find it VERY hard to believe that Windows 10 won't install on a C602-based board. After you gave up on the RAID configuration, did you set the SATA ports to AHCI mode? And it should be even simpler as a VM, since the emulated hardware is VERY standard. I did set it back to AHCI, still no luck. I may try pulling a fresh ISO, as I did have this happen in the past where the .ISO itself was corrupt, so I'll give it one more go today. The only reason I gave up after 3 hours, because it was 5AM and I was sure this was an Operator Error.

Well... I HAD this magnificent plan.. I WAS going to set up my two Intel 730 Series 480GB SSD's in a Hardware RAID0 then install Win10 Pro. I WAS going to do every benchmark and stress test imaginable, including throwing in my Twin MSI GTX 980Ti Golden editions and benching the performance there. Then I WAS going to load up unRAID, create a Win10 Pro VM and do it all over again to compare performance and stress/heat/stability results. I WAS also going to get the full gamut of unRAID type test results, including Heat, Disk I/O to the SSD Cache & Array, Network speeds, all of it... This was until the last 3 hours I'm stuck at trying to load windows 10.... Yes my friends... The failure of windows to find my Hardware RAID0 SSD array to install to has beaten me... I've tried everything, even moving to different SATA ports on the MoBo and setting them up as a non RAID disks. I can't seem to find pre-installation Drivers for this board to get Windows to see the drives. I guess I'll just be doing all unRAID testing, which is ok, I mean it's what I built the machine for anyway. Would've been fun to appease my curiosity though.

Eh why not... I'll report back in a bit.

What are your OC settings? I'm curious.

Trust me, really thinking hard of contacting the seller and buying another 64GB RAM as long as they can match the ones I have already. Do it! I did the same thing, I just contacted LizAnn by phone let her know what I was up to, she can check if they have the part number in stock to match your previous purchase. She asked that I just specify in my order comment what part I was wanting exactly. Do I need 128GB of RAM? Probably not, but with the amount of VM's I'll be running for my business, most of which will be test labs for various server OS's it's not going to hurt to have it, at the price I paid. With this mod, what kind of temps are you getting for your disk drives during heavy use (e.g. a parity check) ?? ... and how many disks do you have installed? Well, here's the thing. I haven't fully completed my set up. So I've yet to run a parity check, but at idle the drives are around 25-27C. With the amount of airflow in this case I highly doubt with max drives at full load I'll be over 33C. The Norco RPC-470 has amazing airflow. Which is an amazing case for $86.00, really, if anyone is looking for a rack mount server case, you really should consider this case. NORCO RPC-470 Black 4U Rackmount Server Case - OEM So far I have 6 installed HDD, 3 in each of the 5 HDD stock sleds, set in the 1, 3, 5 spots, and I have an empty iStar 5in3 in the center. Here's the set up Cooling wise: 2x (One in the front of each 5HDD Sled), Fan speed controlled via PWM Fan header on MoBo Managed by Smart Control: Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPro PL-PS 120mm x 25mm Ultra Quiet PWM Fan The iStar 5in3 has a 80mm in the back set to low RPM: iStarUSA BPN-DE350SS-SILVER 3x5.25" to 5x3.5" SAS/SATA 6.0 Gb/s Tray less Hot-Swap Cage I have a stock Fan wall in the Norco case which have 4 80mm's that scream at 12v, these are the fans I modded down to 7v. Big noise reduction, with minimal airflow sacrifice. These push air to the CPU coolers, Controlled off a 'Y' splitter to the MoBo CPU PWM Header Managed by Smart Control: Noctua NH-U9DXi4 90mm SSO2 CPU Cooler The CPU coolers then exhaust to the rear case fans: SilenX EFX-08-15 80mm Effizio Quiet Case Fan Believe it or not the only thing I hear are the exhaust fans, and a small hum from the CPU coolers. Some Eye Candy If you're curious what how the server's looking: Juggernaut I'm going to post up some Bench, Stress, and Stability Testing results hopefully tomorrow, then it goes in the rack.

Looks good Worm, really close to my setup, though I spent a couple hundred more going with another 64GB RAM and a new server rack mount case. On the topic of noise: My server runs damn near silent. the only thing I hear audibly is the exhaust fans but it's barely anything. I have volt modded my mid case fan wall to 7v instead of 12v, and every PWM fan on the motherboard headers are set to smart temp control. Even at full CPU utilization in my torture test, (Which was over 3 hours), my temps never went above 68C on the second CPU, (Keep in mind CPU0 blows it's exhaust straight into CPU1). I guess my point is, set these babies up right, and you can have a performance beast, that's pretty silent.

Why can't you just pull the preclear reports from your flash and attach the text files to your post? '/boot/preclear_reports' You can pul this from your flash through windows from your previous drives as well. just windows explorer to your flash drive. it labels the reports matching the disks serial.

This thread's getting too long... People aren't bothering to read previous posts.

I have it and it's working quite well. Only issue I have (and it did it again btw), is the IPMI incorrectly reads the CPU temperature on occasion and the IPMI monitoring plugin that I'm using sends me a panicked email that my cpu is melting... I thought it was fixed with a firmware and bios that I got from ASRock, but problem has occurred once since I flashed it. Though, before it lasted for quite some time. This last time I received an "all clear" email ten seconds after the initial event... Not sure if it's a flaw in my board, or an intrinsic issue with this model. No one else has reported having the issue, so maybe I'm just lucky I have the same board, with the same incorrect temp reporting, as does my father on one of his boards, (he has two), I think the second one he's having issues with the server freezing up after a few hours, but this may be anything from the CPU, to RAM, to the board. We don't know yet. My board runs great, but I've only keept it up long enough to run stress, heat, and stability testing, (Of which I have quite some data to post up, hopefully this weekend, the business has taken priority, and I've been quite busy as of late.) I haven't configured the IPMI reporting as of yet, nor installed the new BiOS DoeBoye posted up. I did download it, but again just haven't had time to implement on the server yet. One thing that frustrated me for the few minutes I spent on it this weekend is the NIC's. First they appear to be labeled wrong in the manual, as what should be the IPMI dedicated nic is actually LAN1 and it also takes over the LAN port below it, (if you're looking at the rear I/O panel straight on I'm referring to the right half [top & bottom] of the quad cluster). I tried playing with the bonding settings under the IPMI config, but I got frustrated and gave up, had work to do. The rest of the NIC's don't appear to match what's in the manual as far as labeling. hernandito , The RAM you're looking at is WAY to expensive. Don't make the mistake I almost did. Another member posted a link to some memory on E-bay (64GB [8x8GB] DDR3L-PC10600 Registered ECC) for a damn good price. Read up a little bit in the posts, I posted the links in several messages.

Hrrmmm.... Looks like we have the potential for this thread to pass up the view counts of even the top sticky.

I couldn't tell you for sure as I never have tried it. I do however have a 5in3 iStar coming this week for the center of my new Norco RPC-470. I'll give it a test in the Rosewill and let you know how things end up. Opened up my Rosewill RSV-L4500 this past weekend to start gutting it for the Dual Xeon I just set up. You can definitely pull the stock HDD racks and get your 5in3's in there. You may have to drill some holes to secure, but don't quote me on that. Still a good case, and after looking it over I can see i will fit an SSI EEB motherboard. My second Dual Xeons may end up in this case...
