    Finally got the supermicro running

    I finally got the pain in the ass running.

    I bought a new bios chip for it and had to remove the second processor. Which brings me to my next question.

    Would a dual processor system post, go into the bios and show both processors present and running at their speed and reporting their temps if one was bad? Or could it be that the bios and post only uses one processor, so when it gets past them it uses both processors, causing a loss in power that would freeze the system?

      Confirmed, both processors work just fine. I guess its time to try the psu then.

      Question, do you think 31A on the 12v (15A rail and a 16A rail) is enough to run this machine. It has dual xeon 3.2ghz's (90nm noconas,) with a 8600gt. The psu is my old 500w rosewill stallion.

          I seriously doubt that Roswill is pushing anywhere near 500 watts. You can get a PC Power and Cooling 750 watt for 89.00 on newegg. Over the years I have tried many power supplies and since I went to PC Power & Cooling a couple of years ago I refuse to buy anything else. I have never had a single power supply problem since I started using them.

              The Noconas are 103 W each -before- VRM efficiency/losses are considered.
              You are probably looking at ~140 watts/CPU on +12v -> 2x 11.7 amps.
              - With an 8600GT forget it.

              That PSU don't got squat for +5v though.
              16 amps is going to be tight powering chipset, +PCI slots, +RAM, + spinning a bunch of hard drives.

                  Thats what I figured. Im looking for a good 600-650W psu now.

                      Running Line Voltage and Integrating LED Pods - Automotive
                      by FALKLAN
                      Howdy everyone! I hope all is well where ever you are!

                      I'm attempting to integrate a couple of LED pods into an automotive reverse lamp circuit. The problem being, while the vehicle is running there is a 8.5v current present on the reverse lamp power wire. Needless to say is that all LED pods and lights dimly illuminate while the 8.5v is present, so the LEDs are always powered on while the vehicle is running. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the voltage changes to 12 volts.

                      I am uncertain how to convert this line into a switched 12v output line for the LED pods....

                      I finally got one too! a new monitor! and my first ips panel to boot!
                      by ChaosLegionnaire
                      after bigtroll managing to score a new video card in this thread, i thought i'd get a new monitor too, since my current one has a bubbly and blurry screen that i posted in this thread.

                      i tried numerous local websites to get one but many required a mobile number to sign up which i dont own. i also had issues finding the right monitor that met my requirements. it was a nightmare finding one, spending weeks looking through g00gle.

                      finally, i decided to try lazada, the singapore version of jack's aliexpress. it only required an email address for signup, but whenever i...

                      ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th Gen running only at 400 MHz
                      by rumpumpel1
                      Oberservation:
                      X1 Carbon 4th Gen runs very slowly. Task manager shows the CPU running at 400 MHz.
                      In rare cases (1 out of 20) it runs at normal speed.
                      It does so when running on battery or only with the charger.
                      When both are connected - charger and battery (50% charged) - the system switches between charger and battery once per second.

                      The laptop does exactly the same thing when running Windows or Linux, so OS level problems can be ruled out.

                      Flashing CleanME and a different BIOS made no difference.

                      Samsung NP370E4K No backlight running on battery
                      by Kambi13
                      Hi all, need some help. I have a Samsung NP370E4K-KD2BR, which as a 5th Gen Intel CPU that works fine when running with the charger plugged in, but has soon as I remove it and it's running on battery the screen backlight goes off.

                      Tried different battery - no change
                      Tried different screen - no change

                      Removed the plastic film from the screen inverter and looked for pwm signal which as about 3.3v when running with the charger plugged in, when I take it off the voltage drops down to 2.232v, so my best guess is that the EC is not providing the correct voltage....

                      Got in way over my head with Supermicro server board and upgrade.
                      by FeerBaron
                      Last year I bought a server. It's worked fairly well but had some issues. Some pcie slots didn't work and Xeon v4 is a bit slow and missing AVX 512. Came to realize that the next version up, with skylake uses mostly the same chassis.

                      A board popped up on ebay one day being sold for parts. A working board like this is over a grand at best. This particular one was about $125 and I decided to gamble.

                      At first it seemed simple enough. According to the description it looked like some mechanical damage.
