Hi. I work in a diagnostic laboratory and we are getting a digitial imaging equipment with a requirement of a server. I have an existing 7950X on an Asus X670-E extreme, 64GB of RAM connected to an 8bay NAS with 32GB ECC RAM and m.2 cache drives on a 10GbE network. The supplier of this imaging equipment advised to get a xeon based system (sold by the supplier) because the 7950X does not meet minimum requirement. Here is a photo of what they sent me: Can my existing "server" comply with this? Thank you.

I have an Asus X670E Extreme, 7950X (non3D), gksill 16GBx2 DDR5 6000Mhz. Setup with stock bios (0805) out of the box. It was working fine since March. BIOS settings is all default except for setting RAM to EXPO I with DRAM V at 1.35000. Temps are fine and system stable. Recently. I keep on getting random reboots especially on file transfer to the NAS using the onboard 10GbE since the NAS is on 10GbE as well. I checked event viewer and it shows error 1001. I also ran BIOS defaults and ran RAM to auto. BSODs whenever I do file transfers via the 10GbE onboard ethernet. Any suggestions?

What is the difference between these? What should I get? I will have runs with more than 800-1000meters.

I have a UDMSE with a couple of downlinks - 2 XG6-POEs, 2 usw enterprise 24s and an 2 enterprise XG24s. Since DAC cables are short I intend to get SFP+ fiber modules. There are multimodes and single modes. What confuses me are the fiber patch cables. I dont want to mix sfp modules in some switches and I want to get uacc-om-sm-10g-s-2. On paper it is a single mode duplex module. For the fiber patch cables, I see a lot of options. Can I plug multimode duplex cables into the single mode duplex fiber modules? I have some of these switches that are not installed pretty far away but I still intend to use the UACC-OM-SM-10G module. I just wanted to get these modules to be installed in all the switches regardless of the distance. Is there a draw back if I make short runs which is intended for long runs? By the way what type of fiber patch cables compatible for these modules?

We have our own internet because we also access our files remotely. Bandwidth allocation in our lab can accomodate only a few PCs and is limited. Aside from that BW limit, we use it for our zoom meetings, online trainings and lectures. A simple search of a disease entity with the word like "breast", "vagina" gets blocked. This is a pathology lab and those are one of the common terms. This own internet was requested through the admin and it was approved and this was very useful at the height of the covid pandemic. The hospital provided us with a couple of workstations, a UDM-SE, couple of 10GbE switches and NAS systems. We process tissue imagings ranging from 500MB-1.5GB a single file. This is one of the reasons we have our own ISP and a separate local network. There is a virtual drop box where we drop our files for data archiving forwarded to medical records which is managed by the IT dept. Some of the technical details of this networking stuff in the hospital is partly handled by a 3rd party IT company. I understand why with some restrictions hence we requested for a separate independent network. I have to get back to them and discuss with them what we really intend to have from one of the PCs in this separate network. Our dept just want to have access to a particular database (patient database, lab testing data) for us to integrate with our diagnostic findings. So in one of our workstations, if has dual LAN. a 10GbE and a 2.5GbE. I was wondering if making a VM in this workstation and somehow if it can connect from the secondary 2.5GbE LAN to one of their database server. During one of our meetings, they mentioned this database server is based on an "application server". Is it possible to have this VM access to this application and within our separate local network other PCs will connect to this VM and access that just "read only". Thank you for your inputs.

I am not so familiar how they air gapped their servers. But to my knowledge, this server has security protocols with their own configurations. This server only accomodates the whole "local network" (this is a hospital and different departments access their database e.g. pediatrics, surgery, radiology, pathology lab). Database cannot be accessed outside the network (outside the hospital). Each department has its own local network. We belong to the pathology lab dept. We setup our own local network for our own files like tissue images from specimens and other files which we only utilize our selves. After we make lab reports it is then forwarded to a dropbox which will be managed by the IT deparment for database deployment. Other data like blood tests are managed by the external server which is linked to the whole hospital. Since we have our own local network, we wanted a computer to be connected to this external server to have access to other files. We have access PCs but are located in other sections of the lab which is inconvenient. So the intention of this is basically access within our area to the external server. And to note, since our PCs have our own ISP the IT does not grant access to their servers if our PCs are connected to the internet via our own ISP. We wanted an access from one of our PCs which is connected to the internet (our own ISP. other depts also have their own ISP). The IT dept have their own ISP as well. The PC I am referring to has a motherboard with dual LAN, a 2.5G and a 10G. The 10G NIC connects to our 10G switch. I intend to connect the 2.5G to the external network. Already did. Since we have our own set of PCs for our local dept network for internet access with a different ISP which is separate from the ISP of the hospital, they wont grant access because of that. So I intend to have this if this is possible, to install a VM in one of the PC for the sole purpose of access to the external server.

Hi. We have a 7950X with 64GB of RAM in the lab. I was thinking of installing a VM for access for the staff to their computers. Here is the diagram. The main server from the external network is an SQL database server that we access in the lab. The IT of the main server will not grant access unless we have a PC which is not connected to the internet. I was wondering if installing a virtual machine on this dual WAN PC in order for us to have access from this SQL server. Is there a way to configure the VM to have no internet access but have access to their SQL server via LAN1? Once this is done can the clients in the local network access the VM via their PC?

I do PS, LR, indesign, sketchup, and some premiere, aftereffect stuff. I have an old X99 and still does the job for photoediting. I upgraded when ryzen came, then I got the 6800XT hoping to game and do productivity, but damn AMD drivers for the GPU is such a pain for productivity and with some games. I just use my X99 for photo and some renders and transport to my ryzen 9 setup to do some final touches. I am looking forward with an intel system and nvidia pairing pretty soon. 7950X and X670E is coming aboard and Ive read a lot about instability, and if this is not stable, I highly suggest the intel+nvidia route.

I have a 6 yr old GTX 1080 strix. Running totally fine but I noticed the 6 pin power led on the GPU does not turn on anymore. The 8 pin power led is fine but faint already. I cleaned the surface, changed the cables. Did a power test on the PSU (seasonic 850W Ti). Everything is fine except for this one led. Also did some stress test (GPU, CPU) under AIDA64 for a couple of minutes. Checked voltage readings via HWinfo and they seem fine. Could it be just the led that got busted? gtx1080.mp4

Damn. I am going to look for that v4.32 then. Ive been chasing that version for months. I gave the hynix kit to my wife. Lol.

Hi. I have 6 sticks of corsair vengeance rgb pro 8Gb cl16-18-18-36 v4.32. I added another kit so it would be 8GBx8 for a 64GB quad channel config. My question is, 1 kit is same brand corsair, same model #, same timings (CL16-18-18-36), but the difference is it is v5.32. Can I mix this kit to the 6 sticks considering it has difference IC (samsung and hynix)?

unfortunately populated by HBA cards, thunderbolt card, NVME adapters and the PCIE slot under the GPU is not an option. I tried bridging the dual lan ports but I think it does not increase speed but more of a failover function. I dont know but it does not work.

Hi. I have an old X99 E WS 3.1 setup used as a data and plex server. It is a dual LAN motherboard (1) Intel I218-LM, (2) Intel I210. File transfer to the local network is just limited ~110MBps. I am on a network with 10GbE connection. Anybody have this board and do NIC teaming reach 2.0Gb speeds? The setup has NVMEs and SSDs so it is definitely not a storage speed limitation.

Hi! Will this work as quad channel?

I still have that pentium mmx 200mhz, 32 edo ram, sound blaster ISA card and a matrox GPU. damn. I wish I could take a picture of it. Must be buried in those pile of old sruff in the attic.

I am upgrading my NAS servers with at least SSDs and NVMEs. In my current setup, it takes time for large file transfers in my local network. Was thinking of fiber optic inwall for future proofing. I believe the fiber cables can do CAT6a or CAT7 conversions through an SFP+ port on the switch.

Merry Christmas! Planning to do inwall installation of network cables to route to the 3 floors of a house. I was thinking if fiber optic cables would be future proof. Current inwall cables in our other house is CAT5E and realized how tedious it is to upgrade to something like cat6a. I remember consuming around 700+ meters of cat5e cables to the rooms, living room, garage for wall plate ethernets and the surveillance cameras around the house. Is fiber optic a viable choice? This is my plan: Dual ISP for fail over setup to a router with SFP+ ports. SFP conversion to a 10GB switch which would handle NAS servers. Another switch to distribute access to the NAS servers for plex, data transfer, smart devices.

You made a cut off? I cant make the fan grill back

Yeah I am going with 4 DIMMS. I need advice on whether to get hynix or micron or samsung chip?

I am rebuilding my X99 system. I previously used Corsair dominators 16Gbx4 (64GB) with samsung B-die. These dominators are now with my X570 build. I am just wondering since the X99 paired with a 6850K, it only ran at 3200Mhz. Now I am just getting 3200Mhz of 8Gbx8 or 16Gbx4 or 8GBx4. I am just wondering if the chip really matter? Ballistix with micron or Gskill with Hynix or samsung? Which would be the best among these? Thank you

Oh sorry. I missed that. I think the X570 board that I have only has 8 ports. I dont think if the port can be expanded. I have 12 HDDs as of the moment

Any forums on the use of IT mode? Ty

Yup just SATA3.. no intention for SAS. Is Pci-e 2.0 be enough or a pci-e 3.0 be much better for future proofing?

Hi I am setting up a new system with an R9 3900X and crosshair hero 8 (wifi) mobo. The mobo has only 8 slots and I have 12 drives. I intend to just get a storage card to accomodate the other 4 or more drives. As of now it will be just JBOD and setup RAID later. Probably RAID 5/6, or RAID 10 later. Probably 5-6 drives for the controller. Any recommendations? Thank you
