not per core performance
Shove that shit in a Lackrack and call it a day
It is noisy however
eh, r710s aren't too loud
they're quieter than my dl380, which is a whisper next to my little old 1u supermicro box that never gets turned on anymore
It's still a server, meant for cool airconned rooms
i have switches louder than an r710
eh
moved back to hp from netgear for switches, room is significantly quieter
I'm grabbing a 4slot microATX X99 board and waiting a few months for Xeons
i need to sell my old switches at some point
Since I need gaming performance and workstation performance
i'm mostly concerned with multithreaded performance per watt
Current fuckin 4670K ain't cutting it smh
so rzen beat out older 2x/4x xeon box for me atm
See 22core ES xeons
$1000 for 22cores lmfao
i was kinda sitting at a ~$1500 budget as well though
so my options for dual/quad xeon box were limited to older xeons
Ah
Zen is incredibly power efficient even compared to consumer i5s so
i really wish the 3d printing world had some more powerful software
single core performance is near-irrelevant for that, but if there was an mpi-aware slicer for me to slice models on a big arm cluster i would be very happy
My system is taking agggges to post holy shit
2m30s for post to windows start screen, thanks
could be worse
as cool as HP's sea of sensors is
I'm on an SSD, and it's quick
jfc restarting anything with it takes ages
On all of their platforms HP UEFI is bloated as shit
Like non-consumer
disagree, it just has to do a lot more than desktop firmware does
It takes my EliteBook like 1-2mins to decide if it wants to let me into UEFI
it's not the same use case and you don't generally shut down these machines and restart them regularly like desktops
1-2mins isn't bad compared to, say, any g6 proliant
5+ minute boot
ssd or 15k sas drives or anything
But they're servers, they've got to verify that everything's working, ram is fine, temps are good, and then check a bunch of shit
yeah
Consumer systems are like
