Compare the cpu benchmark scores and if you need the upgrade
-
To be honest I dont think you will see any benefit. The fx 9370 yes is a bit faster but also runs at a TDP of 220w which is alot for slightly better performance.
If I was you I would outlay new cpu ram and motherboard in one hit. If you dont see a need for the current cpus try and sell them on ebay to help fund your upgrade

hi do you know if all of the 16 sata ports on the board will work with unRAID without any need to flash to IT mode ?

Note that the parity doesn't have any file system, so no file system conversion for that drive.
Oh ok so can I expand the size of the parity drive before I do the conversion so I have a larger drive to attach to the array ?
-
Ok guys this will be my situation as the screenshot follows
And I will be adding another 2TB and then wanting to convert the rest of the driver to XFS including the parity so I can use dual parity further down the line
Can anyone be of any help

Yep on Australia newegg they are $333 AUD.

If you can find one preflashed from a vendor with a good reputation, it can be well worth the extra cost to have it done. I seem to recall that there have been issues from finding computers that can still be booted to DOS to 'bricking' the card from doing some little detail wrong. (I recall that most of the time you will be working with the command line.) Before you decide to flash one yourself, find the directions (and software) for the exact card you are considering purchasing and read through the procedure to see if it is something you will be comfortable doing.
That's my number one concern. I am comfortable with everything computer wise, except for flashing firmware.
-
do you mean something more like this for a server pull the h310 ?
-
Ok thnx for that
I am future prepping for my next major upgrade
-
WIll this card work out of the box for unRAID and work in supermicro motherboards easily
-
Sorry to thread hijack but what 8 port cards will work friendly in Supermicro motherboards and be friendly with 6 or 8 tb drives
-
I am currently running 5.0.5 should this method work for me ?
-
Where abouts did you find the HP cards ? And by out of the box do you mean they will work without flashing
-
Hey there is their any people who are willing to sell preflashed cards ? As I am not to confident in doing it ?
-
32GB ECC in mine
-
So here is a little inside shot of my new server
I have got the drives still inside of my old case and I measured from the edge of the motherboard to the front of the optical bays is about 21cm ish maybe 22cm.
Now to add to my shopping list is:
1 or 2, 5 in 3 bays
hba adaptor
extension cables for 24pin and 8pin cables
-
Are these preflashed to IT mode ?
-
Ok I ordered the final piece of the puzzle for the time being hopefully a nice brand new HX-850i. Hopefully that will do the job
-
Ok I am on my final decision pretty much for the moment and thats power supply.
Is the RM series of corsair any good ? They are single 12v+ rail and the 850w RMi has 70.8A on the 12v+ rail and seem to be a bit cheaper by about $40 to $60 here in Australia

Stock cooler is fine unless you have no airflow through the case. These newer intel chips run cool.Ok update I have purchased a supermicro x9scl+-f and Xeon e3-1220 v2 and 32gb of Kingston ecc
What is a good cooler you guys can recommend for these boards apart from really the stock heat sink
Ok no probs I wasn't sure if it was worthwhile purchasing an aftermarket low profile Noctua HSF

If you have a Mac Pro from that era why not try it ? And I am gathering that it has intel in them ? Also unRAID 6 only has support for x64 cpu's now.
-
I would aim then for a i3 or i5 series with a suitable motherboard and 8gb of ram.
That would set you back about $200 though and future proof your for years to come.
-
What is the budget though ?
How much RAM do you have installed in your unRAID server?

In my old retired xeon e3-1220 (maybe 1225) v2 I had 32gb
In this new and current server with e5-2697 v3 I have 64gb and hoping to upgrade to 128gb
