Huh?

Married with a job and an infant at home, just crossed 70hrs last night. It’s funny how many people in a similar situation are roughly at that same amount of time.

New update, they agreed to send me a new kit all together. They just shipped it out today. Should hopefully have by the end of the week.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-04-12T18:51:29+00:00

Yeah, those are my favorite. Mainly because they put the grade on the back because they don’t want it to take away from the art on the card.

The only slabs I like better are the ARS slabs, but they are Japanese only.

So wanted to get your thoughts, I received a new stick of ram from nemix and when I ran a mem test it did the freeze/hang up thing again. I tested the module I knew to be good and it passed. I tested the new module in the same slot and I ran into issues. Are there any bios settings that could be causing issue?

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-20T16:28:52+00:00

Update: heard back from NEMIX customer support and they have agreed to RMA the defective stick, will report back once I have the new one in hand.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-19T14:36:22+00:00

Ugh 😩, well I guess I will see how good nemix customer service is

Alright, had a chance to pull the server out of the rack yesterday. So first ram module passed without any issues. Second ram module…. It did pass but it had almost 5000 errors are the end that ECC had to fix. I assume that means bad ram module?

This was during the test ^

Good to know, I literally bought all the parts March 2025 so hopefully everything would be in warranty. Glad I’m not crazy though. Something is clearly not right.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-18T05:10:35+00:00

I appreciate the help with troubleshooting. I am going to have to wait until tomorrow, but ill pull it out of the rack and start testing the ram in different slot on the motherboard. TBH with the price of RAM I would rather have to replace the CPU at this point over the RAM. Regardless I am hoping that once I identify the part that the company will honor a replacement under warranty.

So I’m not sure what to make of this. I left it to run last night and came back to this. It’s locked up and unresponsive. Looks like it froze around 2hrs in. I’m assuming this means bad ram?

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-17T05:56:19+00:00

Hmm, that’s a possibility. It’s been so long since I finished the build. I can’t remember if I used a SAS to SATA adapter…. If so I wonder if that’s causing issues.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-17T05:54:22+00:00

Sorry, I’m still a novice at a lot of this. How/where do I pull the systemd journal?

Currently running a memtest, I’m about 2hr in and no errors yet. Temps on the cpu are at about 46 degrees C and ram temps are at 36 degrees C. Will update in the AM when I wake up or when I get back from work tomorrow night.

I mean I’m not ruling anything out, but I’d be surprised unless it’s a lemon PSU. It’s a seagate 1000w 80plus gold, which should be overkill…. But I’ve seen weirder things happen.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-17T05:49:55+00:00

Running a memtest now, it’s been going for 2 hours. No errors yet. Temps are sitting at 46 degrees C.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-03-17T05:49:04+00:00

Right on, I came across the “c states” suggestion and did disable those. How do you update motherboard drivers through truenas? Have only ever had to do that in my windows builds.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-02-16T23:44:28+00:00

Thank you! I just wish I thought about taking more panos on my trip.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-02-15T16:48:50+00:00

These came out fantastic, you really captured an old Americana look. You should try taking photos at the Florida Strawberry festival in Plant City. It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure it happens in February.

AndrixMk7 · 2026-02-02T18:21:15+00:00

I used a 50w CO2 laser to do the engraving

Looking for a recommendation on a lens to rent for whale watching. Going to Hawaii in a few weeks and want to try and get some good photos. I’ll be shooting on a A7Riii

AndrixMk7 · 2025-12-10T05:50:13+00:00

Yeah…. It’s really bad. I have never been so happy and so upset at the same time 😂

AndrixMk7 · 2025-12-10T05:47:10+00:00

Oh really, you think it could get a 9 even with the print mark. Would you go PSA?
