Hardware / Re: Random resets on new workstation

« on: 2021-02-03, 04:18:05 »

Hi, after reading your description I was betting on XMP, but after some research I think most likely it will be 1. or 2.
I would start with below in that order:

1. Disable fast startup. I've got many issues because of that functionality. Idk why but after some updates from Microsoft I found that enabled again, so need to recheck it.

2. Change device manager settings: disable wake on lan and wake by devices, I've seen that solved the issue few times.
Start from point 1 and 2.1, I would wait with 2.2

3. Remove any dongles, wifi cards, bluetooth adapters, all that are not necessary. Check if all cables are properly connected.

4. Nvidia drivers, try reinstalling and other rev.

5. Check if there are errors in event viewer right before that Kernel-power

6. Try doing only PBO without XMP profile, then try XMP profile without PBO

7. I think XMP can be issue here. Try "manual" memory OC if you need that, it was somehow automated with usmus dram calculator

8. Try memtest but on the same workstation that you had issues on

9. psu swap

10. Remove unnecessary drivers or addons like "killer lan" etc, this one in particular caused me a lot of pain some time ago.
Try reinstalling remaining ones.

11. Reassemble your pc

Let us know if any of that worked for you.
Hope that helps ;)

Does CL matter here?
With the same money I can buy:
G.SKILL TRIDENTZ 64GB (4X16GB) DDR4 3200MHZ (F43200C14Q64GTZ)
or
G.SKILL TRIDENT Z RGB 64GB DDR4 (F43600C17Q64GTZR)

I'm going to run it on MSI MEG and only first one are on msi supported hw page so thinking about them.

After some comparison and eol of e2600 series its just not worth to invest at the time into LGA 2011 if you need one workstation IMHO. Its just better deal to invest little more ang go for 2990WX.

Thanks

I was thinking about dual cpu ES E5-2697 v4 or 2699 or 2696v3 on modded bios. Are there now modded bios so we could run v4 on all cores turbo like on v3?
I have around 2,5k EUR. Next option is better one cpu and in some time buying second one. Or it will be best to go for a threadripper setup?

Do you guys encounter this issue with 2 cpu pc used as a workstation, not a node? https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=20408.msg127014#msg127014

Hardware / xeon workstation questions

« on: 2019-01-21, 14:37:07 »

Hi, I'm going to build workstation as a replacement for current i7-3930K setup for rendering in C4D. I'm thinking about xeon processors that are quite cheap on ebay.
Is it a good idea to build a workstation with them not a node? I don't have a room in my apartment for two computers.
Another question: have anyone tried ES (engineering sample) processors with corona? Is it wort it?

Thanks in advance
