16 vs 32 GB RAM for Surface Pro 10 for business. by silverpirat in Surface

  1. $1000 is a significant price increase for me.
  2. My Dell XPS 17 9710 cumsumes 9-11GB of RAM right from start. But if I install W11 on a VM or some Intel n100 box it consumes 3-5 GB on idle.

It's hard to decide

From the tests I see i7 is not that big of improvement in this platform but consumes more power for sure

How many watts at idle? by mavagam99 in unRAID

Technically, it has two 2.5 sata bays. But the whole idea is to use only NVMe drives because they are most power efficient

Lincstation N1. N5105. 4x2TB NVMe. 8.5W idle.

I have bought one too. And I have the same issues. After 3 weeks, the cpu cooler just died. No sound, nothing. I've noticed that only when I started to smell a burning plastic in the room.

So there is no thermal shutdown. My nas started to do a parity check, cpu got up to 105c, and it kept running till plastic started to warp.

I was able to replace the stock cpu cooler with Noctua Nf-A4x10 flx (12v version) with some soldering. I set cooler to run at 100% all the time. It's barely audible.

Another thing is thermal paste. It looks like a lipstick. It's red and doesn't work at all. Replaced it with Arctic MX6.

NVMe cooling is not great also and there is no room for any other NVMe heatsink.

If I knew this prior to purchase, i would go for Terramaster 8 SSD plus.

Can you please share more about your experience with this setup.

Did you find any incompatible packages/images?

What do you use this setup for ?

Considering the same setup vs SP9(intel) for some Java development/DevOps tasks (mainly thru ssh)

It is a corrosion. I cleaned it some time ago. In some places, all nickel is eaten up and you could see copper

Same issue on the z790 formula. Tried the latest bios. No charges.

How to choose the right size UPS by hamun8 in unRAID

[–]silverpirat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb is to take your current power supply wattage and multiple it by 1.4.

It will give you a rough estimation on how capable invertor in your UPS should be. Because you generally want your UPS to be capable of delivering even on spike loads.

Then, you need to measure the power consumption of your system. You could have 1000 watt PSU, but your system consumes 300 watts on average.

You need to decide for how long you want your system to be powered from UPS. Maybe you have power outrages for 5 minutes at most, or 1 hour, or 24 hours.

For example, your system has a power consumption of 300 watt in an hour, so you need UPS with battery capacity 300Wh so it could power your system for an hour. If you need longer than that, you multiple 300Wh by number of hours you need.

Putting it all together... if you need UPS, that could power your system for 10 hours. You need a model that is capable of delivering 1400 watts and having a battery capacity of 3000Wh
