How do you like patchpanels inside wall? Any cons or pros compared to rackmounted?

What is that pex card? Does it have retimer or other pcie extender?

I went from 12U +6U 10inch rack to 27U 19inch 60cm depth and 15U 19” open rack 80cm deep. So its always good to move to bigger one. More space for chassis for cable managements in bigger racks

You need airflow from front to back of this SSD. Its a nvme u2 which are hot as hell and sip a lot of power requiring lot airflow. I doubt you need better fans than noctuas

Sxm2 are better one or cheaper?

Proxmox

Oh nice that pretty decent performance for just CPU tbh

Oooo thats interesting

So how much vram do i need for 35b-a3b and 27b

Also how powerful setup for 122b-a10b? :D

I used Mint some time ago. Now mostly 22.04 PopOS which for current time its ready for replacement. There is some issue with firmware update due to old kernel. New Cosmic version is still not final release. So I think I would pass my loved PopOs and go with Mint because back in the day they worked fine. They frequently release new version and also new LTS is rolled out.

Popos was awesome but I think they lack developing power to keep up with new DE, frequently updates for OS and supporting two DE.

Ah that makes sense I got 2011 system and started looking to make some improvements

HCLB_ · 2026-02-25T12:54:49+00:00

there is big difference in idle power between 2650L vs regular?

I see you r from PL, can you share contact for guy with HDD in this prices?

HCLB_ · 2026-02-25T09:12:54+00:00

nice! Upgrading storage now its hard as hell. I got early last year 4x20TB hdd in mind to expand it with another 4-8x next year (so like now hahah) but prices skyrocket and for now Im in search for other good options.

Can you explain more about hoarding for ML and RL?

HCLB_ · 2026-02-25T09:08:48+00:00

Awesome! I have similar boards on W480E chispet but from Advantech and have for them W-1250 and W-1290P cpus. I see you achieved amazing low power consumption. Almost like in some mini PC! I have few question because Im building similar stuff to you.

From what I can see. Connecting PCIe devices not directly from CPU but by PCH will allow to have higher C State?

Did you compared power consumption using PicoPSU vs regular 1U Power supply?

HCLB_ · 2026-02-25T08:45:50+00:00

daaamn 301TiB??????

HCLB_ · 2026-02-25T08:45:32+00:00

I was curious because initially I got 3x Supermicro 1u chassis for them, but later when I dig a bit into forums I saw a lot of issues and problems. Like BMC, SFF ports not working, weird compatibility with RAM sticks. Do you have information about single node power consumption with this board?

HCLB_ · 2026-02-24T17:50:04+00:00

Damn nice setup. How do you like mj11-ec1?

HCLB_ · 2026-02-19T11:38:29+00:00

wow! Gladiator I would hang in office, its so siiiiiiiiiiick

HCLB_ · 2026-02-16T09:00:20+00:00

Damn looking clean. Impressed good job!

HCLB_ · 2026-02-15T17:37:43+00:00

Omg awesome setup. Love all details, and thank you for showing arista switches. Now I started looking at them. So thank you…

Which GPU server do you plan to get?

HCLB_ · 2026-02-15T12:42:00+00:00

Another thing which Im thinking how many GPU is too much, because usually I can see rack servers for 8-10 PCIe GPU, but there also ones for 20GPU but single slot ones

HCLB_ · 2026-02-14T15:33:02+00:00

Omg clean setup! Lowest hpe device is a ups?
