    Hey there friends! I realize after thinking about it a little more that maybe my wording failed to stress the importance of knowing how to deal with high voltage if you're doing a capacitor swap in a power supply. The capacitors in power supplies can be quite dangerous, and it's not something I'd ever want any of you to be hurt by. I specifically avoided covering it myself, or linking to any specific external sources because the last thing I want is to either make a mistake in my presentation, or link to a presentation that has a mistake in it that I miss, that ends up hurting someone. The point of the video is to demonstrate capacitor swaps that can be done in all kinds of devices, not only ones that have high voltage/dangerous capacitors in them, but I understand that it was quite power supply centric. If you're going to work in a power supply, please only do it if you are highly knowledgeable in what you're doing. If you're not, I would advise against working in a power supply. And please, don't hurt yourselves!

    • @CompHwTipsAndTutorials
      @CompHwTipsAndTutorials 8 дней назад

      I'm glad you enjoyed, and you're right about how at least a segment on this would be useful. In full honesty, I just don't feel like I'm qualified enough to instruct others on exactly how to deal with high voltage devices, really, I'm only demonstrating the capacitor swap part here, or at least that's the goal. I should change the title to not specify power supplies. I really just don't want anyone to get hurt based on a mistake I might make in a video on it, and that's also one of the reasons that I don't want to link to anything in particular because I'd hate to accidentally miss something, or just be oblivious to something, and link to a source with an error in it that causes someone to get hurt. Working in a power supply is really something that only a person who's familiar with these voltages should do, but my wording might have slightly failed me in getting that point across.

    why a r720? and not a r730? they cost only 300€ to 600€ as base to mid ter model. also dual cpus are sometimes complicated about compatibility and NUMA thread management. therefore i would try a singe cpu 2U height server witch should work better and has similar performance. also in some bios versions having problems with gpus or be more exactly using the video output. that is because the aspeed management controller is technically the main gpu and also can read parallel the frame buffer for ipmi video streaming. so if you use a normal gpu as main gpu you have either the output deactivated and reroute the video stream over the pcie back and in the aspeed ipmi (idrac) or you use the ability to use idrac completely. as i said some bios versions have gpu support deactivated. this means if a gpu is in the pcie it would be ignored and its adress and parameters would not passed to the os, also you cant force or probe this by the os. the r630 and the r730 are basically the same mainboard but the bios is different. on the r730 gpus are allowed as long they dont use the video output as primary or dont have any output at all. for render purpose this is fine yo even can theoretically use up to 64 cpus in a bridge less xfire or sli. so no real time simultaneous single frame rendering rather then parallel multiple frame rendering. on the r630 the bios does not allow gpus at all for two reasons. first is the 35w pcie power limit per slot and second is heat the system is not able to work properly with higher head dissipation in this small form factor, the idrac and the nic would suffer the most from this extra heat. this does not mean there would be no gpu that fits inside with 35w with a pass through cooler. there are cpu that would technically work nit the bios says no. even the r630 and r730 are the same. as i said the r630 is only 1U and the r730 is 2U. both are virtualization server so under normal working condition a gpu is not needed except you use remote desktop for your clients wich is inefficient as hell. normally your clients using the server as a working space but gpu things are done on client side if possible. i have a r630 with e5 2683v4 and 512gb ram this system was used as such server i mentioned and could provide up to 128 clients at once if set up as bare minimum. this means 2 to 4 threads per client and 8gb ram as dynamic shared resources. for normal office things this would be fine and plenty of power. all gpu related things are done at the client side. most of those systems had a tiny 10w apus in it with a small cpu like a intel atom and relative good performing gpu. on this system runs more or less windows or a linux but without a live client part this gets loaded by login. this needs some time, i mean depending on your account settings and data table and connection speed 20sek to 2min. i know many of you would say 128 clients are impossible but i can tell you, you could do more then this but this could bother other members on the same machine 40 to 64 is the sweet spot this would be around 50% to 80% utilization and you still have 1 10gbit uplink free for heavy stuff like external recources, NAS, Internet, downloads and streams. also i would recommend using 8 threads per client shared but socket fixed and 8gb ram fixed address range. this has the best performance. 32 to 50 clients are now optimum. for private propose this does most likely dont matter. i use mine as my server for everything. it is running game servers, tools, services, nas, ai tools like stable diffusion and a llm. my r630 system running on ubuntu 22.04 lts and ideling most of the time around 3% to 5% only the ai tools using the full system power. i dont have a gpu in it so yea it is slower but both of the cpus has a combined fp64 of 23TOPS, fp32 44TOPS, fp16 83TOPS, so yea even only cpu bound i am fast as 9 gtx1660 in fp32 and fp16 and it gets to fp64 the gtx gets even worse because it can handle only 150 GOPS at fp64. yea the whole system uses about 600W at full power but still more efficient as 9 gtx 1660. in order to get use of the full power for ai workload i use 6 sas 12gbit 512gb SSD drives in raid10 and 2 sata hdd with 5tb als long therm storage in raid 1. my system is able to feed the system with 6gb/s to 7gb/s. i know a nvme would be smarter but cooling those is the problem if placed in a pcie carrier. there is no space for a cooler and buying a proper x8 or x16 a pcie3.0 nvme card is way to expensive with a price tag of 600€ and above for only 256gb. also i use cheap used sas ssd they kost me only 30€ for 512gb yea they might be dead quickly but i dont be worried about that sins i use raid 10 and i have bought 20 and only using 6 of them. my system runs now for 1,5 years and no drive fail sins.

    • @CompHwTipsAndTutorials
      @CompHwTipsAndTutorials 10 дней назад

      I paid about $100 for the server, $40 for the RAM, and $70 for a new motherboard because the old one had some damage on it that was causing the server to misbehave. The GPU was about $200 and the SSD I bought for about $15. Totals to about $425. I probably wouldn't go out and buy something like this for as much money as I paid for it in hindsight, that is if you're looking for gaming, but it could still be an interesting project machine if that's what you're after. If you're looking for something that'll do better in gaming and other workloads, I've actually got a video in the works for something that will be a much better performer!

    I wouldnt bother with SAS drives if its for home use; just use Consumer SATA SSD's. More cost effective than SAS SSD's, and quieter, cheaper, faster and less power hungry than SAS HDDs. Best thing I ever did on my R710/R720's was to swap out to 860 EVOs at the time. As for the stuttering etc...It's probably to do with Numa. I'd recommend trying to manually set CPU Affinity in Windows for the game you're playing and set it all to CPU0.

    Speaking of NUMA, in case you weren't aware, your GPU is connected to *one* of those CPUs. If the game runs on the other CPU, it might slow down a little. I used an R720 as a gaming machine, but set up Windows in a VM under Linux with PCI passthrough. Worked mostly great, though I don't recommend it unless you particularly want that kind of challenge.

      That's pretty tame compared to how bad it can get. Unlike desktops, servers boot times are directly linked to how much ram they have installed. And it's counter intuitive. The more ram the longer it takes to boot. 256 will take about 8 min, 512 about 12-15 min. And 1tb it's well over 20 min. Though I do have to note here that you can turn off memory training to speed it up. It's generally a bad idea on ecc to do that if you value your data

      I didn't check, but I wonder if they were doing something similar during the gaming tests to what they did in DaVinci resolve, that is, not turboing up, that's a good thought you bring up!

    It is possible that it could come from the memory being ECC, adding latency ?

    • @CompHwTipsAndTutorials
      @CompHwTipsAndTutorials 10 дней назад

      I'm not sure, maybe? I wouldn't think that memory latency would have that massive of an impact, but it sure could be a contributing factor!

    u should have added all the drivers for the server, due to powersave and other powersaving functions and installed server version of windows to get as many cores activated as possible there are a lot of tweaking u could still do to gett much better performance.. i use a fujitsu tx200 as my day to day pc with dual 6600xeon works superb...

    Carey Hozerman is essentially a card swapper and not much of a computer tech. He can certainly find a defective card and swap that out, but beyond that, he refuses to learn and to expand his horizons and is not much more than superficial repairs. Plus, he's arrogant and vile to watch as he attacks others while being two-faced and demanding respect with his homegrown high school clique community.

      I think it's likely to be more of an issue with Windows 10 not interfacing very well with the hardware of the server, because I was also expecting better performance based on what other people have achieved with similar Xeons in different boards.

    So I have an r720xd in my basement hosting some of my services and running two virtualized video game servers that my step son and I have been playing with. He's streaming steam and I'm remoting in and playing games directly. There's a reason those r720 computers are the home lab learning server of choice

    Hey bud, simple way to understand these is look at the R series workstations. The almighty R5400 and R5500 rigs for old school. R7910 is basically a R730 and I run a small fleet of them as servers and my daily driver. Use the workstation drivers for easy setup. Yes, can swap CPU's, BIOS and generations of CPU's can be touchy. Boot times, nope, thats your storage badly configured and I bet you were in IDE mode rather than AHCI. Windows desktop does not handle multi-P (P= Processor socket) systems and can scale badly. Running server editions does run better and has less bloat as well.

    • @CompHwTipsAndTutorials
      @CompHwTipsAndTutorials 10 дней назад

      Thanks for the tips! As for boot times, it really didn't seem like it was much to do with the storage, the server just takes forever to configure its memory and iDRAC, then load some things, and initialize firmware interfaces and such. Once it gets to the point where it's pulling from the SSD, it seems to go pretty fast, though there is still a chance that the SATA drive isn't in AHCI mode as you mentioned.

    For gaming and video editing, you need a High Ghz processor. Maybe a 6 Ghz processor and Graphic card with bigger and faster vram such as GDDR6 or GDDR7 24GB vram or maybe 128 GB vram in the future. LOLs. The server is designed for servers, to be able to answer the request for maybe hundreds of thousands of rows/ seconds from a database or for redundancy to make sure your database is secure. Servers are good for database servers, or for NAS servers to store your data. For AI servers, you need GPU servers. GPU servers are not mining rigs, it is designed for deep learning or AI. Mining rigs also have many GPUs on them but they use slow USB raiser for crypto processing data transfer. GPU servers are the most expensive of all. Can you run the game and video editing on GPU servers? absolutely. Can you crack the password with it? absolutely. Can it burn my electric bills? absolutely. :)

    Yeah, single core performance isn't their strong point. We had two E5-2680v2s but switched them to the E5-2667v2s because the single threaded performance wasn't as good. The 2667s have the best single core performance of that generation. Best multi-core is the 2699.
