Trying to locate ECC Memory for Supermicro X11SSL

I agree, I think ditching the ECC may be my best option... -
Trying to locate ECC Memory for Supermicro X11SSL
elliott35 replied to elliott35's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
It's a registered kit (it's got a buffer that isn't supported by the mobo/cpu. Apparently, this system only supports unbuffered ECC. Like these: Choose Memory - PCPartPicker. But everything listed is super sketchy... I didn't even know the difference until today when I accidentally bought a registered kit thinking it would work. -
I am hoping someone here can help give me a lead on what memory to purchase for my supermicro X11SSL based NAS. I am trying to find a 64Gb kit and coming up empty. I am scowering the internet (eBay, PCPP) but the only kits I have found are fully buffered, out of stock, or extremely expensive. Does anyone have a good tool/resource for sourcing unreg ECC DDR4? Thanks in advance!

I think I understand it now. Its the GPON adapter that needs to get provisioned by the ISP so this is really all Moot unless I can spoof whatever is in their box.
-
Its currently got a Dell/Intel X520-DA2 but I would change it to whatever is needed to make this work... I do currently use a Mikrotik 10gbps managed switch - but that wont likely be helpful. Are SFP+ ports usually specific to a PON standard? Is the issue only the fiber>SFP adapter? Or will the Altice network/PFSense be a roadblock?
-
If I am understanding this correctly: PFSense wont know what to do with the signal because GPON doesn't conform to an ethernet standard? Are there any devices that can translate GPON to EPON for PFSense? Edit: Also, I have 0 first hand knowledge of what Altice is handing out. Is it possible that the network supports multiple hardware sets?
-
Its fiber so there is no cable modem supplied. I believe the device from Altice is an ONT/Gateway hybrid (FGW-GR240BG). My thought is to hijack the fiber and direct attach it to an open SFP+ port on my router. Like that guy does in his Video. The only issues I can think of would be if Altice has some sort of MAC provisioning that would prevent an IP being assigned to PFSense directly (I could spoof the mac to get around this probably). Or if I am misunderstanding their provided hardware stacks connections in some way.

Hi All, Altice just rolled out fiber in my area (NJ) and I have been searching for a way around using their crap ONT/Gateway AIO. From what i've read, you need to keep the provided hardware and double NAT the network.. This isn't an optimum solution for me. So here is what I am thinking. Why couldn't I terminate the fiber connection to an SFP+ port on my PFSense router LIKE THIS. I know that they wont provide alternate hardware, so why not skip it all together? Are they providing the FGW-GR240BG to customers? Are people just not doing this because they don't have the capable SFP hardware? Will Altice assign an IP in that setup? TIA EDIT: FYI, I don't have phone or TV. I know that's been an issue for Fios customers. I haven't seen anyone talking about it for Altice yet.

Hi All, thanks in advance for any help. I am trying to setup a 10gbe PFSense server on some Supermicro hardware that I bought on eBay. I am trying to figure out if I have enough PCIe lanes for both the 10gbe NIC and a Samsung 970 evo in one of these enclosures. Any thoughts? Separately, does anyone have a good way that I would retain functionality of the front bays? I assume that when I install the 10gbe NIC, there is no way to keep the front slots active? This server doesn't seem to have any documentation from super micro which makes researching this difficult.

There isn't anything that stands out to me as being high usage. I remember reading somewhere that as of the last windows update there is a bug where an audio driver uses resources and isn't being correctly reported within the task manager. I am having trouble digging up more info on that specific bug because there are so many similar bugs dating back to 2015... And on top of that -- the file deletion bug which overshadows everything in my searches regarding the recent update.

Any help appreciated! I have a 15 inch Surface Book 2 i7 w/ GTX 1060, 16Gb Ram, and 500Gb SSD. Recently I updated windows (to what I thought was 1809 -- can they roll back?) and noticed some severe battery drain and heat issues. I just checked the Windows version and its running 1803 #17134. I'm not sure exactly what update caused this issue and im having a hard time finding info on it given the sea of complaints out there surrounding this machine. Previously I could go days without plugging in to the charger and now im struggling to get hours out of the battery... Battery life was one of the primary reasons why i got this machine, this bug is a real bummer. Anyone have a similar issue? I suspect its not limited to the SB2. Is there a Fix? Thanks for any help/info.

I haven't seen much about this. Does anyone know how to get the new call screening features from the Pixel 3 onto the Pixel 1&2?
-
I will try that when i get home. However, when i disabled snort entirely it was still happening. Same for PFblocker
-
So, the best i can tell PFSense is running smoothly. However, I cannot get Speedtest.net to actually run a test. It's the only site that i've found that doesn't work. Where can i view a log to see what is blocking the traffic? It loads the page but wont load the test servers. I have Snort, PFblocker, and Squid running.
