thanks Mcnumpty2323 and Raodx-0 for your replies I may hold off on the GPU then for a bit, go for just the CPU block, then if I add a GPU block add another radiator :)

Hi All I'm thinking of finally water cooling my PC and decided on EK with soft tubing My current set up and use: 3950X Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 Cooler Gigabyte X570 Elite Palit 2080Ti Dual Lian Li White O11 Dynamic XL 4 x Be Quiet Shadow Wings 2 fans pulling in 2 x Be Quiet Shadow Wings 2 fans...

that is an awesome idea! :)

keeps me and the PC cool but not very ergonomic!

Exactly, so how many people have applications that natively support clustering etc, or how many companies have in house expertise to set up and support clustering? If you can get most of the way there without most of the knowledge or cost, that sounds good to me! We have an Oracle RAC ERP...

Sorry that is wrong!! is should be set to passive channel-group <group number> mode passive cheers Zz

oh and we're migrating our ESX datastores away from FCP to NFS, which is another learning curve. iSCSI is there only for our SME setup

does the switch support LACP? if so I'd do: on the filer make the vif a multi that supports LACP on esx change vswitch 0 & 4's loadbalancing to source/dest IP on the switch change the etherchannel load balancing setting to source/destination IP (not sure if this actually has an effect...

I never said virtualisation is the panacea to all your ills, especially with a tight budget. To do it right costs money, that is what I was getting at. A decent ESX set up can be incredibly resilient, abstracting the OS and application from the hardware makes managing resiliency and DR...

Virtualisation done right is a fantastic solution and has been a boon for us, so much so we're now not doing it right (too many eggs in too few baskets :)). unfortunately IMO to do virtualisation right for crazyswede I'd suggest almost doubling the budget Also definitely separate out the...

you can bond your SAN NICs too, 2020 has dual NIC's per controller giving you 4 in total so 2Gb/s per controller. Also getting a switch that supports LACP (though you could go for static etherchannel) means you'd get decent load balancing and fail over on each bonded pair. Super high...

fair point over spec'ing speed isn't a bad thing :)

Oh and NetApp comes with de-dupe on primary storage, you should get a lot of space savings, I've seen nearly 80% space saving on our test LAN data store and average 40% for others.

Dusty: that's a good price did you get any software packs with that? Is that standard support? JonRohan: if budget it tight do you really need the IOPS of SAS? With 12 SATA drives you'll get around 700 to 840; I've been told if being conservative discount the IOPS of the RAID-DP drives...

alternative? Have you considered Lefthand's VSAs rather than a physical box, it's a virtual iSCSI SAN appliance and has some limited software add-ons that can take application consistent volume snapshots (it's all scripted atm) Our set up that we've have just got going is two DL385 G6's each...

Hi technorat have you had much more luck recently? I've got: Q8400 with Freezer Pro ABIT P35 Pro XE 4Gb of OCZ DDR2 6400 I'm trying to get a similar o/c stable atm. Seems I can get the below o/c to survive 2h hours of Prime95 In-place large FFTs but has completely hung windows a...

I have an e5200 clocked @ 3.5GHz, admittedly with an Artic Freezer pro 7, and was getting 64-65c on Intelburn test, it passed 5 runs ok. I was also getting 53-54c on Prime95. Current idles are 33c in a reasonable warm room

core and real temps report on idle similar read outs, Speedfan is showing 5C more cheers :)

ok running prime95 speedfan 4.37 shows 53/54C on both cores but real temp 3.00 shows 49/50C who's right?????? (E5200 and ABIT IP35 Pro XE) cheers Zedster

definatly think it's an issue with the memtest version. Tried memtest86+ 2.11 and it ran ok @ 5-5-5-15 over night on auto voltages. happy now :D
