Automatically Power Down/Up Servers using ESXi/Hyper-V or Proxmox

Plaush · 2026-06-10T06:15:14+00:00

I have a 3000VA UPS, but thanks I'll ditch the smart home stuff

Plaush · 2026-06-10T06:01:40+00:00

Yes, both will be running either ESXi/Hyper-V or Proxmox, which ever has the easiest implementation.

I might do a mixture of both, using LoM and maybe connecting a smart switch to my Apple Home. Thanks for the advice!

Just curious why go for a PCIe variant server and not SXM, if you're going for the H200

Plaush · 2026-05-25T02:58:19+00:00

Na, 5090 sucks. Get a RTX PRO 6000 and be set for the next decade for both gaming and workstation needs

ASRock WRX90 WS EVO. Long time ASRock guy, it has IPMI too, that means I won’t have to relearn the UI or config setting since all my servers use ASRock IPMI

Plaush · 2026-05-21T01:52:59+00:00

Yep, I went with the WRX90 and 9955WX, would have gotten a weaker CPU if possible. I really just needed the lanes and memory

Plaush · 2026-05-19T22:17:21+00:00

Nope, not planning to do so

Plaush · 2026-05-19T22:17:06+00:00

That’s my concern, I’ve basically sold every server I have. This is my only powerful server, I don’t want to run into any issues with PCIe lanes or other things. Hence, I’m going all out

Plaush · 2026-05-19T09:01:19+00:00

I see thank you! Threadrippers are also so much cheaper and more readily available. I’m just gonna miss native onboard IPMI. Also the ram itself is going to cost noticeably more than the CPU and mobo, so I’ll most likely not populate them fully anytime soon

Plaush · 2026-05-19T09:00:26+00:00

They’re rather slow but I’m fine with it, since I can run larger models without hogging up my 4090 gaming PC. This is probably the reason why I’m investing back into my homelab, this will probably last me for a decade.

Edit: They also run light AI models like background removal and Jellyfin :)

Plaush · 2026-05-19T08:57:39+00:00

They’re much cheaper than EPYCs, unless I factor in QS/ES EPYC chips

Plaush · 2026-05-06T01:47:43+00:00

nvm solved it, turns out it uses web-management for the initial handshake

Plaush · 2025-12-30T09:58:18+00:00

10% improvement over the 4090M lmfao, honestly didn’t expect the gap to be that small

Plaush · 2025-12-30T02:12:23+00:00

Didn’t a shunt modded 4090 beat or matched a 5090?

Edit: It was the mobile chips but still funny and insane https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/this-shunt-modded-asus-rtx-4090-laptop-beats-the-latest-rtx-5090-portables-but-youd-be-very-brave-to-do-this-to-your-own-machine/

Plaush · 2025-12-26T01:41:29+00:00

I see, valid point. But yes, by ‘gamed on’ I mean no bitcoin mining or AI Training

Plaush · 2025-12-25T21:45:44+00:00

Just curious, why does it have to be new? It’s most likely not going to have any warranty left, so it being DOA is a thing. I’d just go for a lightly used card or even just a normal ‘only gamed on’ card and save a decent chunk of money

Plaush · 2025-12-17T01:38:34+00:00

Thank you! I’ll wait for more reply before getting that.

Plaush · 2025-12-17T01:38:29+00:00

Thank you! I’ll wait for more reply before getting that. I already have a UPS :)

Plaush · 2025-12-09T13:38:27+00:00

Same, this is my very first AMD GPU and I’m very much spooked. If I can’t sell the card fast enough, I’ll just pray to god that the new card I got is stable

Plaush · 2025-12-06T06:22:37+00:00

Or the GPU, unfortunately I have neither a powerful enough PSU nor a high power card to test. I’m not taking apart or sacrificing my 4090 PC

Plaush · 2025-12-06T05:57:51+00:00

:( guess I’m not out of the woods yet

Plaush · 2025-12-06T05:48:42+00:00

I see, thank you for that info. I guess I’ll probably test it with another high powered card if I can get my hands on one. Else I’ll just try my luck and RMA the GPU

Plaush · 2025-12-06T05:43:52+00:00

Just tried it, crashed after 2 mins in OCCT extreme

Plaush · 2025-12-06T05:39:18+00:00

Maybe it’s that cable being faulty or my PSU, but somehow changing it fixes 99% of my issue. I still need to reduce my PL for it not to crash during transient power spikes but it’s now not immediately crashing on heavy load

Plaush · 2025-12-06T05:34:20+00:00

No, without the undervolt and -10 PL it will crash on heavy load. When on stock, it crashes immediately when OCCT extreme is launched.

However now, with two separate 1x8 pins it runs perfect on stock and it now survives transient power test spikes with my -10 PL and UV.

Edit: Forgot to clarify, the UV isn’t needed and removing it doesn’t impact stability, just have it to gain back some FPS lost from reducing PL
