Extremely slow rendering With 20 core Xeon

I am completely stumped with why this machine is sooooo slow at rendering. We use KeyShot 6 (Yes I know were on KeyShot 8 now well be getting this later this year)

I have a Lenovo Think Station p710 With a Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630v4 @2.2GHZ and a Quadra P5000 

I have updated all drivers and it is still exstruciacingly slow we have other machines that are chewing through the same renders

I am not sure if it has some thing to do with the age of the CPU. In addition the CPU cooler on it is pretty small but I wouldn't think that Lenovo would pair an inadequate cooler with a top tier CPU. 

I noticed on the longer renders there was a flashing orange triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. 

 

any help would greatly be appreciated

That means something is wrong, anyway you can get it again and share some more info about it? Can you get a log from it by clicking on it?

I looked to see if ram was being maxed out and that's not the case.  Its not really utilized 

 

The orange triangle is on the case its self not on screen 

Can you find any orange triangle on Windows/your OS? E.g. the bottom right icon bar?

Just run cinebench a few times and watch the temperatures.

THey're going to use the minimum cooler they can most likely, just replace it with a D15 or something if it's overheating.

Your software might prefer single threaded performance over a bunch of cores at 2ghz

 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

@Jurrunio does thermal paste go bad. are you suggesting that the cpu is overheating?

 

no, I suggest your system run out of memory

Yeah, but remember that workstations have quite a bit more airflow than your average PC, and that they are designed to keep the CPU cool with as less resources as possible, thus the case is designed for it.

That's not how it works.

A server is designed to do that, but the fans are running at like 100K RPM and sound like a jet engine, and everything is enclosed in a server.

 

You should take a picture of the cooler.

Here's it running on a 1950X to see if multi-core is doing anything compared to your system

You could use something like HWMonitor for that, free to download.
