What’s your cooling solution? What are temps like? Does your motherboard have sufficient VRMs and subsequent cooling? 
 

Even with PBO it might not reach full bore if your board has wimpy power delivery. The 5800X and it’s cousin the X3D need about 120W just to reach their base spec boost clocks. Overclocking, like your 4.7 all core goal, will require more. If you lost the silicon lottery it might never do 4.7.

Yeah I probably will. Just gotta convince the boss ya know

 

Empirical evidence is all your boss should need, especially if money is an issue  

Nested virtualisation has its use cases, but is highly unconventional in a production environment due to performance impact. 

That said, since this is purely for a quick test to verify a virtual machine backup image, I wouldn't see why it wouldn't be viable. 

If there's also a requirement to maintain network connectivity in the nested VM, my advice would be to hook the VMs up to a vSwitch that allows MAC address spoofing and promiscuous mode. A dedicated vSwitch for this is recommended for security's sake. 

This isn't a must, but at least take it into consideration .

32 Gigs is probably plenty if this is just going to be a server for Plex, HA and some other small bits and pieces. 

I'd recommend looking into Proxmox VE (PVE) as a general OS and build on top of that. 

The 1080 can be used for whenever transcoding is needed, just need to run an unlock script so it can do unlimited streams until it reaches 100%, otherwise a consumer card is limited to 1 or 2 streams iirc. 

Your biggest issue will indeed be a case that can hold 15-24 drives. I'd personally look for less higher capacity drives to get to the capacity you need. It's better (and usually about the same price) to use i.e. 4x16TB drives versus 8x8TB drives. Less drives means less power and less chance for a disk to go wrong during a rebuild. Especially when the system is actually being moved, less drives is better. You'll also need a beefy PSU for all those spinners. 

What kind of capacity are you aiming for? Any particular resilience or performance requirements?

The i5-6500 is significantly faster on single thread than a 4570, but both are kinda slow nowadays. 

Minecraft can't utilize a ton of cores very well and mostly wants fast cores. 

That 1090T is probably bottlenecked by a low end board without VRM cooling, some people think a $40 board and top end CPU go well together

That or throttling, AMD CPUs of that era throttled between 60-70 degrees already. 

8GB is plenty for a single vanilla server.

About one third of the way down the page is the process to get it from microsoft themselves. As long as you activation key - license is legit you can access the iso.

Windows 7 ISOs are no longer offered by Microsoft. 8.x will probably not be for long either, as it's end of life as well, without extended servicing like 7 got.

Probably need to look "elsewhere" from this point forward. That's why I keep an archive of ISOs on my NAS.

Are you running a fully up-to-date Ubuntu? Always do an apt update and apt upgrade before installing 3rd party packages.

Clear webbrowser cache and reopen the web interface. Looks like a caching issue.

HDMI cannot process a dual link signal passively, HDMI is always single link. You'll need a way to adapt from displayport (through the USB4/TB4 ports) to Dual Link DVI.

You'll need a so-called active adapter. Whether an active HDMI 2.0 to dual link DVI adapter exists and works for this, I'm not sure.

Definitely processing things on YT's end, I'm seeing *really* old videos being re-added (FS700 Random Test Footage Featuring my Baby, Linus Tom and Esther Talk About NCIX's Achievements in 2011, etc).

I saw that 90+ minutes ago and an hour ago, boom, down like a 3rd chromosome 21.

Sure as hell remember it better than 9/11. I was having a massive dump while browsing the YooToobs.

mac is like the gucci of tech

 

you pay way too much of something thats basic quality

That's an opinion, not a fact, but hey, to each their own. I love my Mac and my PC equally.

The channel now shows only 4 million subscribers, and ~10% of their previously available videos still live. Hopefully YouTube can roll this back, otherwise this is gonna be devastating.

That's not LTT. LTT channel is offline. That's TQ

lets be honest

nobody cared about mac anyways

I am a Mac user and I am offended.  *cries in M2 Pro Mac Mini*

I reread the sheet, and I think you are right. It says that it has enterprise level SMART but that is it. So I think it was meant for workstations. I got it confused. 

Saves you a good chunk of cash

The closest to that (a KC300) is the KC600, which should still be for sale.

The KC series seems afwully consumer in terms of price point so I doubt it was ever enterprise.

That thing has 2 network cards, yes?

it has iLO, yes

SoftPaq SP####.exe has extract files option, yes

 

set IP on second NIC to same subnet and IP I range of iLO.

crossover cable and use the web interface on iLO to update firmware. 

The iLO interface will even check the ROM is correct and update it for you… it can do any of the firmware including itself.

 

Being a server do server things with it. You can even connect to iLO from another Pc or laptop if you wanted.

iLO is optional on the N40L and it’s not a full blown iLO2/3 iirc but more like Lo100.

I literally just threw "x3500 M4" into Google and got this Lenovo press release:

https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/tips0852-system-x3500-m4

 

Any knowledge I have about the Xeon v2 family is from tinkering with Dell R620s and R720s.  

I can recommend the youtube channel MyPlayhouse if you want to see Lenovo X-server shenanigans

How did you upgrade exactly? Did you use the specific Dell custom ISO for ESXi 7 or did you use a generic one? You’ll want the latest and greatest Dell vibs for optimal performance.

Looking at the E5-2600 V2 series processors, would a couple of Xeon E5-2667 V2s be a worthwhile upgrade (8 Cores 16 threads each, base clock 3.3GHz, max turbo 4.00GHz TDP 130W). I'm not too bothered by the fans I have run it a few times and after the initial take off it seems to stay about as loud as a gaming laptop when under load (matrix multiplication in Octave). If it got bad I could stick it in another room and stream to my laptop via Sunshine and Moonlight.

 

Also might I ask where you found this information as I have been unable to download the manual from the IBM website and the Lenovo website describes a server with PCI (non-express) slots.

Yeah the 2667v2 is one of the best options if you want a “gaming server”. Elden Ring is kinda tricky but the rest should be okay.

If php is an executable add dotslash in front of it, like in Linux shell commands.

Lots of old LPX kits were not optimized for AMD. You might need to replace them either way to run 3200 speeds, unless you're willing to overvolt to ~1.4V, which should be fine for DDR4, and the now considered cheap LPX stuff. You might get lucky.

Most B550 boards will suit your needs nicely, I wouldn't opt for anything B450 or older as Ryzen 5000 support simply is a bit spotty on some boards and many boards not having gotten beyond-BETA BIOS updates.

You're "probably fine" if you don't overclock your CPU. 

Also make sure to use 3 separate 8-pin PCIe leads from your PSU to the 4090. 

I'd probably opt for an undervolt on the 4090 anyway because the rated TGP is beyond insane and unnecessary. 

Is it actually in IT mode now or not? IR = RAID mode, which will not work. 
 

which HP server is is exactly? Did you update all firmwares of the latest versions?

The backplanes that contain the expander also have firmware that might need an update.
