i was thinking of putting a gpu in my hp server i was thinking of using a 1 to 16 riser mostly because these gpus arent that powerful(gt520 and gt630 i dont need that much power just something that does opengl smoothly)

then i realized that server psus dont have molex connectors which i need for powering the risers

after some searching looks like servers have special riser cards but after searching it up for buying one they arent available in my country and amazon or ebay non of these will ship to my country

i cant check if my server has a riser card because its in the rack in production

my question is do hp servers come with riser cards?

HPE DL360p G8

if not is there anything i can use?

check for temps with msi after burner for your ping call your isp and ask talk with them that got my ping down from 90 to 48-50 in dubai servers

csgo is mostly cpu dependent so check for cpu temps

lower your acceptable ping and try dduing the drivers and reinstalling them

f10 gets me into intelligent provisioning 

i got a dl360p g8 last night and i cant access the bios 

i have updated the firmware to 2015 and iLO to 2018 but still cant get to the bios

after searching up screen should look something like this

but for me its just a screen with hp proliant written on it 

and when i press f9 for setup like this guy does in the next screen i get a command prompt with rbsu> prefix

is there anything i need to update which im not familier with? (im very new to this so i dont know many stuff)

i will be getting 2x Western digital WDS120G2G0A for my hp dl360 g7 to do raid 1 alongside other hard drives (sas 10k drives) but looks like these dont support raids (currently not sure if the server itself has smart array card it hasnt arrived yet)

does it really matter if it supports raid or not? im using 2 samsung ssds in my pc in raid without any of them saying its supported in their website

if not what kind of ssds should i look for?

Id make sure the system has impi or similar so you can do management on it remotely and reinstall remolty if needed.

 

 

just a quick question

after talking to the datacenter they have said that they dont have enough space for a dl380 i will be only getting 1 unit and dl360 will be a much better server

how can i check if the server im getting will fit in 1 unit or not (im not really understanding this unit kind of thing)

maybe a g8 not sure

yeah ill probably monitor it for a week or so and multiply that by 4 

looks like they also offer UPS for their whole datacenter

your getting that for $20 a month? Thats a pretty good deal. Id get a server like a dell r630 and your good. Just use a virtual router, no reason to have a hardware router here.

they have offered free routers and switches which is pretty nice

i just dont know if 500gb is enough because virtual servers that i rent have unlimited traffic so i have no idea how much traffic i use 

also im planning to get an hp DL380 G7 (only server available in our country are HP and asus stuff)

How many U's of space and power is included? Thats the big limitation.

 

 

1 unit

I just did this. I colocated a server in a data center. Im paying for 1u of space, 1gbit with a /29, and 200w of power. 

 

There are lots of places that will do this, call for prices. How big are your vps's? If there not very big keeping them is likely cheaper.

 

 

i will be using a shit ton of ram which if i try to rent vps it will be like $100-120 a month which wont be worth it

i have found some local companies who do co-location if thats the right name

i will be paying 15-20USD a month for 500gb of traffic and 1gigabit of port the also have all their own router and switches so i wont need to pay for that part

there are like 10 of them i just dont know how to compare them(they are all local hosting/datacenters so i dont think sending a link here will help bc you guys probably wont understand anything(not in english)

is there anything specific i need to look for?  (also the reason traffic is so cheap is because all isps in our country sell network traffic for dirt cheap i pay for 2tb yearly to my isp about 30USD)

well renting a server would be kind of the same thing im doing right now

i have been looking into getting a server and putting it in a datacenter and stop renting 5-6 vps every month(im just a devops so i dont know much about this side of the market)

after some research looks like there are companies who "rent" server in their datacenters but this is not what i want i dont want to pay monthly/yearly for servers i want to get my owns and buy bandwidth and traffic from the datacenter

are there any datacenters i can put my server with esxi and something like a mikrotik router for natting the one or two ips?

i wanted to get a battery and a new charging port for my old phone(which are pretty cheap around here) and sell it then get a better cpu

first of all i found the battery for dirt cheap

but didnt find any charging port for it 

can i use another phones micro usb port for mine?

phone is galaxy a5 2016

ive been looking for a cpu upgrade for some time now(my cpu is an i5 7400) today i found some engineering samples of i7 7700(QKNY) for very cheap in my country and i can sell my cpu add like 5/10 bucks and get it

are these cpus any good?or is it just a waste of money?(dont recommend me ryzen or newer intel stuff those are selling for over atleast 5 times real price here)

also while i was playing i realized that gpu doesnt hit anything higher than 60% but cpu is usually at 90-100%

other than minecraft which is a cpu intensive game this never happened to me before

MS fltSim2020 is famously weird.  Apparently making it work at all requires massive hardware which has little to do with the actual needs of the game.  It’s built very oddly apparently.  As the “first” game theoretically designed for consoles it’s getting a lot of study.  I understand it’s very weirdly threaded and eats massive amounts of memory

ive seen some guy running a rtx 2060 with medium settings cuz he said thats the most stable setting but im running it on lowest

i got flight sim 2020 today and when i started the guide game was so stuttery 

fps drops down to 1 and gpu utilization drops down to 0 its completely unplayable until i go to the menu wait for a few seconds and close the menu then after a minute or two stutters start again

its running on a i5 7400 and gtx 980 16gb of ram

i was thinking of changing my keyboard switches cuz im bored of the sound and feeling of outemu red switches and wanted to get some clicky switches but i dont know if i can change my switches or not

my keyboard is a trust gxt 890 which i had for 2.5 years working great 

is there anyway i can check if i can swap the switches or not?

It took a day and a half to download? Possibility of corruption goes up. 

after a reboot i and launching the game again i got to the game and it crashes after 5-6 seconds and makes discord crash too

i get out of memory while im using about 11gb out of 16gb of my ram

i have a slow network (adsl which is the network we mostly have in our country) i have a download speed of about 4 to 6mbps and sometimes at night goes upto 8mbps so yeah also steams servers are so far away from where i am its much slower than downloading from a server inside our country still 4-5mbps was possible

I do not know.  My very ignorance though leads me to suspect that because the all zeros instruction and memory locations clearly can’t exist, step one would be tossing and redownloading the game because it’s acting like a piece of it got corrupted during download.   I might also report that this weird thing happened to wherever I downloaded it from incase it also happened to a few hundred other people.

well that will take another 1.5 days lol

ive seen some people say they have issues not getting passed cut scenes https://steamcommunity.com/app/474960/discussions/0/1621724915786943437/ like here
but didnt find any fixes for it some said update windows but im running latest version with all security updates and patches
