R530 Poweredge CPU compatibility
Stevoisboss replied to Stevoisboss's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I got it for $150 and I would need an additional $80 investment for the cpus (assuming it works). Its going to be a learning tool for me/ something to mess around with for fun. If I get it working I am probably going to run ESXI on it and run a bunch of VMs. -
I have a R530 PowerEdge (Service Tag: HWYW482) that is missing both the CPUs. Can I use either both Broadwell (Xeon v4) or Haswell (Xeon v3) CPUs? On Ebay I see them listed with both generation CPUs so I'm not sure what to pick since I have no idea what was in the server before. When I look at compatible parts for it on Dell's website they have the Broadwell CPUs listed. Not sure if I would need to update bios first or not? I only saw one bios update listed and it says "Updated the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v4 Product Family Processor Microcode to version 0x0b00003e. - Updated the Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 Product Family Processor Microcode to version 0x46" which would imply I could use Broadwell CPUs. I was thinking of getting 14 core E5-2683 v3s or 12 core E5-2650 v4s. (You can also include your thoughts on which one would be better)

http://imgur.com/a/Eek6W46 I remember someone mentioning something about this being worth something in an old post of mine.They said it could be a creative sound blaster 16. Was thinking of selling it for like $30 on ebay but I'm not sure if it is worth anything.

I clarified my post. I am talking about earbuds. Thanks for your advice.

Hello everybody. I am looking for some nice Bluetooth earbuds for up to/around $250. I currently have some Sennheiser HD6XXs for headphones and Shure se215s for my earbuds. I would like something in between that performance range. Preferably a little higher quality than the se215s. I have never used Bluetooth earbuds so I am not sure if you have to pay a lot more for them to sound as good as wired or not. If I could get them cheaper that would be great as well. Thanks.

How to dual boot properly
Stevoisboss replied to Stevoisboss's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
I tried installing Fedora on the NVME M.2 drive twice with the Windows SATA drive plugged in and it would not boot. I took out the Windows SATA drive and it would not boot. I reinstalled Fedora on the NVME M.2 drive without the SATA drive plugged in and it booted successfully. So it seems the NVME drive has some confict with the SATA drive. I was able to boot Fedora successfully from the non-NVME M.2 drive with the Windows SATA drive plugged in. -

Ok so I installed Windows successfully on the SATA drive but I could not successfully boot off of the original M.2 drive that I installed Fedora on. So this would obviously point to a m.2 ssd issue. I had a spare m.2 SSD (this one is non NVME vs the original) that I used and I was able to dual boot sucessfully. As far as I can tell the readings from smartctl on the Fedora Live CD pointed to the original NVME M.2 SSD still being good however. So I'm not sure weather it is bad or not. -

A couple days ago I checked the M.2 windows SSD on my main pc with CrystalDiskInfo and everything seemed fine. I already have all my stuff backed up to my NAS. I'll try installing Linux on the M.2 SSD and Windows on the SATA like @TorCsaid and see if it corrupts again. -

I'm pretty sure I didn't update it unless if it did it in the background when I closed it. I took out the Linux SATA SSD and it doesn't boot. -

I was booting off of each drive with the one-time boot menu with F12. I'm pretty sure windows completely up to date both times. I used Fedora. -
I have a Dell XPS15 with a M.2 and a SATA SSD. I was under the impression that if I installed separate OS's on each of the drives (Windows and Linux), then I could boot off of whichever one I wanted whenever I needed. I got it working twice without issues, but after a couple of days it will not detect the Windows M.2 SSD as bootable media. Why is this the case?

I have a Tripp Lite SU1500RTXL2Ua UPS. I was previously running my Ethernet cable through the surge protection on the ups without an issue. After my power went out I can only get 3Mbps instead of the 100Mbps I usually get. The link light on my switch will blink yellow and green. I've tried different cables without success. Did my ups actually protect me against a surge and can I fix the surge protection?

Might not be the best place to ask this question but I recently got electrocuted when I was plugging a ups into the wall. It only happened for a little less than a second. Now when I twist my forearm or contract my fingers I feel a slight pain. It didn't hurt when I got electrocuted, it just felt really wrong. Should I be worried or will the pain go away after a week or so?
