@Documents Mine uses about 200 watts at idle . At about 30% load it is drawing about 340 watts. If you figure an average of 300 watts at 12 cents per KW then it costs about $0.86 per day to run. Throw in a bit of solar power and it doesn't cost much. Hope that helped. Cheers
@Documents Uff Da! That's a rough one. A embedded cpu board might work for you. For example... Before the CV stuff A j4105 cpu and board were only around $40 bucks new , uses about 25 watts and there is no sound. You would need one with more cores and sata ports than the j4105 I have and you could use 2 of them and depending on the current price of things you should still be within or close to your goal. The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head within your budget and power usage needs would be a couple Raspberry Pi's. Sorry I couldn't help more. Cheers
I was thinking of upgrading mine to improve video editing what is the best cpu these poweredges can accept? I have a r630. Or what would you recommend?
Which power supplies you running 502w or 717w? I am currently running 717w ps and just the quad core E5620 though since these are NOT X56xx I don't think a 717w ps is needed. The power supplies alone seem to put off a good amount of heat.
I'm running the 502w psu's, and the max reading so far is 249 watts. I was also surprised by the amount of heat they are putting out. Mini space heater lol
@@LoResDIY Thanks for the reply! Yesterday after I sent you a msg I thought I knew the answer after thinking of the cpu X series you came from. I assume you had the minimum of 717w ps just because I am pretty sure an X proc would throttle down with a 502w power supply. I talked with a friend regarding going to the 502w ps and he basically said it won't make a difference on fan noise or heat. You are on point about the space heater...lol. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for all your videos. I've learned a lot. I have a r610 and tried to increase the ram to 48gb with 12 4gb dimms. They are all Hynix but a little bit of of mishmash. they are all the same basic dimm according to the numbers on them. I keep getting a b2 and b5 error. It recognizes 40gb but I can get the the full 48:( I did change the cpu to the 5675 and cinibench it does a 1399, so it's running pretty good. But the dimms are driving me nuts. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I would start by removing all of the dimms. Then installing them 2 at a time starting with A1 and B1 (trying to keep matched sets together) then reboot. If it reboots fine then moved onto A2 and B2 and reboot. If you get an error on B2 try another dimm. Hopefully B2 and B5 aren't damaged and unusable. Also here is the owner's manual for R610s. Not sure if it will help though. downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-r610_owner%27s%20manual2_en-us.pdf
Server memory do be like that sometimes. You have to make sure that the sticks are pretty much identical. A PC3 8500R-7-10-H0 dimm will not work with a PC3 8500R-7-00-JP dimm even though they are practically the same. All the numbers have to match.
@Documents I don’t know how much power it draws but it is pretty quiet at idle. However, it does throw a fair amount of heat in the room just sitting there.
for servers, it has to be a matched set (all identical) unless you just want to run at the lowest speed of the mismatched set and have detection issues among other things.
Hi how are you? I hope you can help me, I updated my dell r610 to xeon x5675 but when I do a test in cinebench it only shows me 6 core and 12 thread, and the result is cb 719, I am using windows 10 home edition
For 50% more cores, you got 18% more multi thread performance, but you lost single thread performance. Personally, I would have upgraded to at least x5670's, but probably x5690's if the board supports 130W chips. The idle power draw is pretty much the same on all of them, and the higher power consumption when doing a task is offset by the fact that it can finnish the task quicker, so overall power usage difference is almost negligible.
Honestly I'm not sure. I have seen links that say you need the gen2 board for processors that are rated at 130 watts, but anything lower than that (like the E5649) will work on the gen 1 boards. Then I have seen links that say you need a Gen 2 board for all 5600 chips. So I ended up saying "Hell it's only 13 bucks. Buy it and try it.", and quit researching it.
Just ordered a pair of e5649s for $12 shipped! Thanks for the heads up.
No Problem
I like my x5670s they also have 6 cores and 12 threads. Been running great for many years now. thanks for the video. Cheers
Good to hear. Thanks for watching

@Documents What is it you are looking for ? Maybe I have seen something that might work for you. Cheers

@Documents it cant be that bad otherwise my wife would yell at me when the power comes every month:)

Are you using Windows Home or Windows Pro? Windows Home will only see one of the CPU's. You'll need Windows Pro to utilize both CPU's.
More cores .. more Threads
Less Watts + add Proxmox
Run all of the Virtual Machines 😊🎉

Point taken; I just prefer the idea of more cores for more VM's.
I take it this mod is only for the 2nd gen MB?

@@LoResDIY great info - your videos are very much appreciated.
