saarg Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi, Since lot of people get MB with IPMI like me, and I never used that before, so I have one question, why cant I connect to the IPMI IP adress from my VM? I can connect to it from my laptop (Chrome), and my iPhone/iPAD apps , but not on my VM (Windows 10) //Peter Good question. I have the same problem, but I know it did work on 6.1.6 or 6.1.7. Haven't looked at the changelog to find the cause yet. Quote Link to comment
c3 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Has anyone gotten these chips to run over 3.0ghz? My understanding is they should turbo to 3.3, but even when I have all cores running at 100%, they never go over 3.0ghz.... Also, a tip: I lost my IPMI visual display. Stats and control was fine, but the java window could not make a connection so I could go into the bios. Turns out, if you install a videocard, make sure to set the onboard video as primary in the bios. This board defaults to PCI-e, and that seems to confuse the IPMI, and you lose the jviewer connection. I believe turbo only boosts one core not all at once. If you run software that only maxes out a single core, you should get the turbo boost (according to my understanding at least) Correct, P0 (Turbo) is only available for a short period and a reduced thread count may extend the duration. P0 is mitigated by CPU temp. http://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/server/sb/white_paper_turbo_boost_on_low_power_processor.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost Quote Link to comment
Drider Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 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. 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. Quote Link to comment

PanteraGSTK Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Had to do it. Just bought 2 E5-2670s and 64gb registered ddr3 1333. Less than $300. Can't beat that. Found a good board, but that can wait a bit. Thanks for the find. Quote Link to comment
Drider Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 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... Quote Link to comment
ashes0 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 @ashes0 whats the temps like with your water cooling on? Idle/stress. Are those corsair 120mm?

ronni3 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Going to buy the processors and possibly memory now. Is there any specific seller I should be giving the business too or any who are selling the SR0KX should be fine? Quote Link to comment
Drider Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 @TUMS, I think server boards don't sleep because servers are supposed to be on 24x7. Lime Technology has given the same reason in the past as to why Unraid does not support sleep. These CPU's draw a lot of power, even at idle, so I really want my work station to go to sleep when I'm not using it. For me, this means the supermicro x9 series boards are not the best choice. I would really like to hear from someone with the ASRock board if the bios has a setting to enable s3 sleep? 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. Going to buy the processors and possibly memory now. Is there any specific seller I should be giving the business too or any who are selling the SR0KX should be fine? Deep Discount Server Seem to be the popular place. It's where I bought 4.

PanteraGSTK Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Heads up: Servethehome is discussing a vendor selling these cpus as well as ram and mobo to match. There was some early skepticism as to their legitimacy, but one user is posting tracking info and the feeling is that they are ok... They also seem to have a phone number in the states, and will answer questions etc... Here's the thread. Here's a link to the dual mobo for US$175. Again, not vouching for these guys. Just passing on info on a well priced dual mobo. If I've been reading correctly these boards will not work with these cpus because they're v1. Am I incorrect? The blurb on their site only mentions v2, but v1 and v2 chips share the same socket. Assuming I have the model number correct, Intel lists the e5-2670v1 as compatible with this board http://ark.intel.com/products/56333/#@compatibility EDIT: I tried their shopping cart, and it doesn't look like they ship outside of the US... Not sure if a manual order will be different... Looks like it supports the first get 2670 just fine. The 24 pin and dual 8 pin power connectors are in an odd place, but other than that the $175 price is hard to pass up. Anyone purchased one of these yet? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 ... Though it takes FOREVER t wake being that this is a server board. Yes, I suspect both the POST time and the Wake-from-S3 times will surprise a lot of folks who are expecting these to be quick. Server boards do a much more thorough set of checks that simply take more time Quote Link to comment

ronni3 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Interested in purchasing a motherboard as well. Any recommendations? I'd like as many usable SATA ports as well as one or two PCI-E slots. Dual processor board with space between the sockets sufficient to accommodate the dual-fan Noctua heatsink fans with the sockets either inline or slightly offset. Cost is important as well and keeping it under $200-$250 would be great as well. I have no need for SAS. VT-d/VT-x capable or enabled, yes. Quote Link to comment

Thanks! Those SAS ports seems to be using the standard SATA connector, so a reverse break out would probably be required. That said, your board strikes me as very similar to the Supermicro X9DR3-F, save for the mini-SAS instead of the SATA connectors and IPMI http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-X9DR3-F-B-Dual-LGA2011-Intel-C606-DDR3-SATA3-SAS-V-2GbE-EATX-/321993976909 For you fellow dual CPU folks that are planning on running VMs don't forget about this hotfix for IOMMU errors basically anything in an IOMMU group above 32 is a no go without the hotfix. On a new matter, I recall reading about how unRAID doesn't group the threads/cores in a humanly logical manner. Does anyone else recall this? I'd like to ensure that my thread/cores are paired correctly and cannot find the thread(s) about it. Quote Link to comment

Sounds like the supply has just about been exhausted => you may be able to find another supplier who still has a few of these left, but clearly the time to get what you need is NOW IF you can find some. Be sure to confirm that any CPU's you're looking at have vt-d support. Quote Link to comment
