  1. CHBMB you're absolutely correct. I gave myself an end of the year bonus and went off half cocked and should have done more research into this build. I'm just so used to building single CPU rigs that a lot of these issues were never things I'd had to consider. I've been in contact with Supermicro support and explained my situation and the build I'd like to do. I will be getting this board: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182944 this CPU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117630 and 4 of these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5EM3S62974 to start off with. According to the support people I've spoken to at Supermicro and from the architecture diagram of the board, I should be OK to start this with only one CPU. The only drawback being that I will not be able to utilize PCI slot 4 (and of course the 4 memory slots for the 2nd CPU). I also have the new PSU as mentioned above which supports two CPU's with 12V power and should be plenty to power this board, 20 drives, and 2 E5's. This is simply a $ issue but even this is a huge upgrade from what I currently have. In another couple of weeks, I'll be able to get the 2nd CPU and 4 more RAM chips. The HSF's I've chosen are these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101683 which do jut out about 1/8th of an inch on one side. I have the air flow of this rig running front to back, bottom to top and right to left (the motherboard sits on the right side of the chassis). I have done some measuring and I believe that facing one fan blowing up, and the other blowing back, they will both fit even though like yours it will be right. I will update this thread as I acquire the new parts. Thank you so much for all of the sage advice. Also, wgstarks, I've started the Troubleshooting mode. How long does this normally take? It's been well over a day now and it's still showing as running.
  2. Would I be better off to do a single v4 2*** or single https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAEE3YG0676&cm_re=xeon-_-19-117-263-_-Product ?
  3. Awesome, well there's another return....thanks again
  4. I had thought you said only v4 or higher? SHall I send them back and get different ones?
  5. It's running now. Will post results as soon as I wake up. Thanks again to everyone in this community,
  6. I have recently given my Plex access to more people than I am used to having and am currently upgrading my motherboard to a Supermicro MBD-X10DRL-I ATX Server Motherboard Dual LGA 2011 R3 Intel C612 with two Intel Xeon E5-1620 V4 Broadwell-EP 3.5 GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 10MB shared cache L3 Cache LGA 2011-3 processors and replacing my PSU with an EVGA EQ 850W 80 plus gold PSU. My first question would be, where would I look in log files to find out why my system is randomly powering down? Secondly, I think my current PSU has outlived it's life span and I am shopping for a new PSU and came across this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842301698&ignorebbr=1 which seems to only have a "data" port in the form of an ethernet cable and not USB as I currently use with this rig. I see that the UPS settings section of UnRaid does have a section for "ether" as an option. Does this basically just mean that the UPS gets it's own (which I would assign) static IP and this is how it communicates with my server? Are there any benefits / drawbacks or other reasons why this would benefit me vs. a USB based connection? I've never really had any experience with UPS's that utilize ethernet as a communication option but I'm fine with that if it's the better option. To be completely honest I have no idea why the system is powering down randomly and am only assuming it's because it's transcoding more streams than usual (I am currently using a several year old board and CPU) or if there are other underlying issues I need to address. The server needed needed upgraded anyway, I just don't want to find that I've spent all of this time any money to find out it was something simple that could have been resolved with a simple config change. Thanks very much in advance to anyone who can help. Anyone wishing to follow my upgrade on this build can be followed here. I have the CPUs and heatsinks, I am still awaiting the motherboard and RDIMM RAM. Also a giant super thanks to CHBMD to probably saving me at least one reship of HSF's as this board sure does cram these CPUs quite close to one another. tower-diagnostics-20180207-2101.zip
  7. That did the trick. Thanks! Weird that it kept saying success though. Appreciate it wgstarks
  8. Recently I have seen that this plugin is telling me " The template URL the author specified is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/master/linuxserver.io/plex.xml. The template can be updated automatically with the correct URL. When I click "fix" it gives me a success message, but the warning does not go away. I click fix again, and get another success message but I'm not sure if it's actually changing anything. Should I just click fix then ignore warning? Sorry if this is a silly question it just doesn't seem to work as expected.
  9. I was actually thinking the same thing as the ones I'll be ordering may need to point back and up to fit. Here's to hoping it works out but I'll update this with pics when mine is finished.
  10. Jeebus! Wow, OK. Well I hope the ones I ordered end up fitting. If not, it's going to have to be the ones you've ordered. Thanks again dude, well it's better than going from nothing. I'd have ended up with 3 rounds of heatsinks til I got this correct. You again sir, are awesome.
  11. And as you suggested 4 of these for the RAM then? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA22F6NM5989&cm_re=8GB_RDIMM_DDR4-_-9SIA22F6NM5989-_-Product I see a ton of RDIMM DDR4 on Newegg but they all reference that they're made specifically for particular Dell models. Would I be fine with something like this? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2F845K0106&cm_re=RDIMM_8GB_DDR4-_-2BA-0041-00024-_-Product
  12. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101683&cm_re=SNK-P0050AP4-_-16-101-683-_-Product Looks to be JUST a tiny touch outside of the bolt configuration. I'm hoping these will fit.
  13. Thanks so much, Supermicro does have a list of approved coolers for this board. Quite a few of them are passively cooled which surprised me a bit. This one is on their list as approved and for a 2011 chipset https://www.supermicro.com/ResourceApps/Heatsink_Matrix.aspx the heatsink: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101827&cm_re=SNK-P0048P-_-16-101-827-_-Product will definitely be monitoring CPU temp very closely unless anyone has experience with this cooler and it seems to do the job. Thanks to all of you so much again. What a great community EDIT: Well these are apparently only for use in SUperMicro cases with shroud. Back to the drawing board
  14. Wow, you're right all this googling and newegg searching has me kind of overwhelmed. So something like this would probably work, even though there is a small piece that juts off one side if aligned with air flow from front to back, do you think it may fit? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0R7-000D-00003 I also found these "slim" models that also would seem to fit. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709038 Man you've saved me a ton of back and forth shipping with that. I wouldn't have even noticed unless you brought it up. You're a lifesaver
  15. Wow, that's a good one to know. Almost every one I can find that is within the size of the bolts doesn't seem to handle 140W CPUs. The ones you linked are 140$ each on newegg here. I only see wattage specs mentioned on one or two LGA 1151 heatsinks / fans, and none of them seem to be square like that.
  16. Oh for sure I'm aware not to go swapping PSUs. When I had these cables made I purchased a matching spare of the exact same model and type PSU which is hidden away still in the packaging in a closet. So you do think populating all the slots would give me a decent speed boost then? Also you weren't satisfied with the coolers that came with the E5? I have a couple of similar coolers for my gaming PC's CPUs and this Antec case definitely has to room for something a bit shorter like this. So you didn't bother getting RDIMM DDR4 you just got regular unregistered DDR4? If that's the case I would probably be best to get 8 4GB sticks which would fill all the slots then? Alright, I think I have myself a build ready to go. Thanks again so much for all the help!
  17. No just 1080p and hopefully at one point some 4k when I get displays for it. So possibly 2 of these https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117696 ? since they're V4. Sorry to sound like such a N00b I've just never dabbled in dual processor builds before and don't want to mess it up. I read that I need a PSU that has 2 ATV 12V plugs just for CPU which most don't have so I'd love any recommendations. I currently have a CPU that does have two slots (one being unused for CPU) so I think I'm good on that end. I had a bunch of custom length wiring made for my HDD's SATA connections and HDD power connections but I still have the one in the box for the 2nd CPU. As I had the cables made custom they won't likely fit in another PSU and as this thing is a very tall tower they're needed. It's an EVGA 80 plus gold 850GQ. So that's 100 watts more than yours CHBMD, so I think that should be plenty. Last question, do I need RDIMM Ram and should I also populate all slots for each socket? I've read some people saying this is very important and others saying DIMM should be fine and populating each socket doesn't really matter. I know this may be overkill, but I'm the type that would rather go a few years without having to mess with it so I'm willing to go a bit overboard now in the interest of having a working system for a few years.
  18. Maybe 2 of these I could afford. Since I've never had a dual CPU board like this, I'd assume I'll need a larger PSU as well. Well, you've given me a lot to go on. Thanks again! https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAEE40S0700
  19. Sorry I just clicked your name and you have SO many posts I didn't see it readily. So you can't run dual E3's in this mobo only dual E5's That's probably out of my price range ATM, but I think maybe starting with a single E5 then upgrading may be the way to go then? Sorry I can't see the link in your Sig, I'm not on these forums a heckuva lot and since it's been revamped etc I would greatly appreciate it if you found the time to throw the link at me, otherwise I'll just keep looking. Thanks again so much!
  20. You're always so quick to respond CHBMD. Thanks. Could you link me to your build? I'd really like to know more about whether a dual E3 or single E5 would be better. Thanks again so much dude!
  21. I've been using an old AMD motherboard with unRaid for ~ 3 years now and have absolutely loved it. I've maxed out my on-board SATA ports and with the addition of 2 PCI Sata cards and an Altec 1200 case, and 6 x 3-in-2 RAID cages, I now have 18 HDD's and 2 SSDs. It's time for a motherboard and CPU upgrade with some more processing power to be able to transcode more streams at once. I had my eye on this motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182944&cm_re=dual_xeon_motherboard-_-13-182-944-_-Product which is a Supermicro with spots for up to 512GB of RAM (which I know I'll never need anything close to with an unRAID server) and 2 LGA 1151 CPU sockets. I see this is an EFI motherboard and that the newest unRAID supports EFI boot. Does unRAID have the capability of utilizing both CPUs? Will I see much difference between Skylake and Kabylake? Would a single nicer E5 be better for my applications than dual E3's? I was thinking of doing 2 x E3 SkyLakes as the price point is lower but I'd gladly spend the extra money if the performance enhancement was that significant. Also I was thinking of putting 32 - 64GB or RAM and was looking for suggestions as to what would be best for this build. I run several dockers and VMs. Dockers: Plex, Sonarr, Couchpotato, SABNZBD, HTPC Manager VMs: Mythbuntu 14.04 (for tuning LiveTV for Kodi) and LinuxMint 14.04 (as a sandbox and test rig) The 2nd one is only on when turned on and does not run at boot. Thanks for any suggestions you may have in advance, MikeDPitt420
  22. alright, it still says the mover is running but I dont see what it's moving. And about those other shares as I do have VMs and dockers so I just want to make sure I have the other ones set correctly as well. Thanks Squid you're always a huge help. Should I make these changes and then somehow stop the mover or reboot and then run it again? EDIT: I rebooted to stop the mover, it now it moving appdata back to /mnt/cache. which other shares should be set to "prefer" before I turn my dockers and VMs back on?
  23. I've tried to follow this, and my new cache drive is up and working. Although I've set all of my shares to use cache "yes" except for appdata, and I've hit the mover and it isn't moving that folder back to the cache drive. The appdata share is set to use cache only. And ideas other than just a giant copy? Can someone tell me what the preferred settings for each of my shares should be? I do have VMs and Dockers on here. I just am not quite sure why saying cache disk only on appdata would not move that share to /mnt/cache/appdata Thanks in advance
  24. Rebuilding my whole rig at the moment, new cache pool and a Ryzen. Soon as that's done I will definitely report back.
  25. Honestly wasn't trying to be rude. I just didn't want to put it in a directory of another name so that was my solution. Apologies. If it would help someone else I'd gladly do it.
