I went ahead and bought an e5-2660 v4 to try out and it does work. I assume you just need to make sure the bios is updated. I just wanted to post this Incase someone else was in the same position.
 

 

What you may be looking for is a "thin client" setup, with the related term "VDI". While PXE booting may be a component of the solution, what really matters is that your laptop (client device) boots into a very streamlined OS whose only purpose is to make a connection to a desktop session on the server and display it.

Does PXE booting use Host or Client CPU/GPU?
 
Like if my host is a 40 core server with GPU passthrough and my client is a shitty laptop with no HDD.
Will I get the hardware performance of the server or the shitty laptop?
 
edit: for Windows if that matters. Ideally running in a VM if possible
 
Thanks :-]

It just a script file, you can download the file, make it executable with chmod and run it. 
 
You need these preinstalled in your system for the script to work. 
 
Always read the readme. https://github.com/ezonakiusagi/bht/blob/master/README.md

there are a couple more steps necessary to install a .git file
Cloning only downloads the file to your computer
An excellent guide with not only instructions by the why's and wherefores can be found here:

Git is a version control system primarly used by software developers for software development (amoung other uses). `.git` detonates a git repository, and marks a folder not a file. To download the repository, you run `git clone <repo url>`. It will download the contents into a new directory.
 
Edit: I took a look at the project. To run the script, change into the directory `cd <dirname>` and run the script with `./bht <your commandline args>`.
 

sudo apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/ezonakiusagi/bht.git  

It will be fine. I've run IT-flashed H310 Mini Mono cards in 12th gen PowerEdge servers; after they're flashed, they "just work".
 
They're VERY easy to flash too, especially if you have iDRAC Enterprise (which lets you mount virtual disk images from the HTML5 KVM).

I had 12 TB drives in one of the servers, and they worked fine.

I have a 9207-8i that I use with 10TB and 14TB drives, so I would say yes.

Depending on how it dies, it should be fine. However, a failing RAID card could potentially write a lot of garbage to critical file areas. Typically with a hard RAID 1 meltdown the drive might be rendered unbootable at worst case, but can be easily repaired from Windows, etc.
 
This is unlike RAID 5 where a meltdown can and will wipe all data and require data recovery services....if possible. This is also what causes major SAN failures. RAID 6 significantly reduces this chance.

It depends on how it fails. Technically it could fail in a manner that it corrupts both drives. I'm don't know how likely that would be, just make sure you have a backup if it's data you care about.

If the raid card failed Id get the same model.
 
But you should be able to boot from if you plug it into your board.
 
But Id try it for yourself.

SATA drives can go into a SAS backplane, but SAS drives cant go into a SATA backplane.
 
You should be good to go
 
Also, to get to the raid card to set up your raid arrays/ storage pools, you do that through the BIOS. Look for which F key to hit.

I think the C6100 breaks the drive backplane up into chunks, so each node gets either three or six drives of its own to play with (depending on whether it's the 12x3.5" or 24x2.5" chassis). Put the chassis' service tag into dell.com/support and you'll be able to get a PDF of the manual.
 
These systems aren't really "blades". It's four half-width, 1U nodes in a 2U chassis. Each one still operates independently, oblivious to the fact that it's got conjoined siblings.
 
Dell blades go in an M1000e, FX2/FX2S, or VRTX chassis. They'll have all the big datacenter goodies like centralized platform management, shared storage, and internal networking.

This of this system asa 4 computers in one box. All the nodes operate seperatly.
 
Normally the drives are split between the nodes, so 3 drives per node.
 
You need to install a os on all 4 systems separately.
 
Your gonna have a drive controller on all nodes. Normally you can also plug the drives directly onto the board and use the onboard sata.
 
Probably have a boot drive for each node, then Id setup something like ceph for a distributed filesystem.
 
Your hypervisor will let you pick the node the vm is running on.
 
I wll also note these systems will pull a lot of power, so Id stay away from it in home use.

Weird question, is your outlet, and intern power supply, properly grounded?
 
What if you try your routine with the heat gun, but not actually heat the pc, just use it as load on your electrical circuit?

using 100% is not a problem. This is also likely because there is a small bottleneck on gpu, but not crazy bad
dont upgrade for the sake of upgrading, especially with current shortages.
imo

Number memory slots =/= Number of channels.
It is up the the CPU to call the shots for dual / triple / quad channel, etc.
 
2 or 4 slot motherboards can be dual channel.
You just have 2 memory slots for each channel (2x Channel A, 2x Channel B).
 
Quad channel could ALSO be 4 slots, or 8 slots.

the one that helped my when i first built it? No, it was a friend of my dad's. long story short though, that isnt an option anymore lol

No, im the only friend with a tower not a laptop 
I also dont know if it is GPU, MOBO, or PSU or how to tell

500W is fine for an i5 and a 580. That being said, I would agree with the other posts that that particular PSU is a little sketchy, and I would suggest something at least 80+ bronze
 
You can definitely try it if you already own the PSU. If you come into power limit issues, your rig will just lock up or crash when gaming. It wont likely damage anything, as the components have built in protections. (I wouldnt recommend it though)

SSD will be a night and day difference.
next biggest is GPU.
then if you do CPU itll be new rig time
