I know this video is a little older. But I have there of these Dell r620's in my homelab. I bought 3 pairs (6) of the E5-2690v2 processors to upgrade them. I install them in server 1, server 2, and server 3. The system boots up detects a configuration change, figures out what CPUs are installed. All three servers seem to work fine. However servers 1 and 2 just SCREAM all the time those fans are just flying. Server 3 boots does the configuration change detection but then returns to a lower RPM fan speed and is fine. All three servers seem to detect the CPUs accurately. The lifecycle settings seem to all be the same, for the life of me cannot figure out what's going on. I wanted the extra headroom of the e5-2690v2's but I might have to downgrade because this is too much noise for a homelab. If they ran as quietly as server 3 with the same CPU it would be manageable. Ideas?
Quick question, the heatsink is compatible with all of the available cpus for this model correct? I'm adding a 2690 v2 to my system and didn't know if I had to upgrade heatsinks or not.
great stuff! great hardware, great videos! Im doing a test with my servers at render farm because i wanna test wich servers can I tur n on having the highest power-energy drained factor
also we're not having so much time because the render farm is like everytime 100% full because there are much 4k 60 fps animation rendering with all the kind of beautyenss (right?) in the frames
Great question. This is how I view it...but of course you should consult with your parents... a server is just a computer in a different form factor that is built a little stronger with added features. Think truck compared to car. If you are seriously interested in learning, then I think owning an old cheap one is a good way to start, play around, and pick up new skills. Servers are only becoming more important so depending what you want to do for work when you are an adult (which don't worry if you don't know now!)... you could get a great head start compared to others your age. Just know going in certain servers need a lot of power and fans can be loud. Plenty of people put in their homes but those are 2 of the biggest draw backs to having in your house. Good luck!

Great video, I am now off to rip out my E5-2650L v2 and upgrade! thanks
Good luck with your upgrades!
Very useful I like Al those videos thx guys!
Appreciate you watching and liking. Curious to hear, what is your current project?

Your original heatsinks will work fine. Just make sure to clean off old thermal paste and add new thermal. Good luck!
@@cloudninjas awesome thank you
Hi, can I use a Dell PowerEdge R620 motherboard in a Dell PowerEdge R630 8 x 2.5" Bay 1U server chassis? Is there compatibility?
Interesting question. I've never tried it, but I have a feeling it wouldn't work.
Will a SR1XS INTEL XEON E5-2670V3 work or does in have to be a 2600v2?
Has to be V1 or V2.
@cloudninjas ok, thanks. I guess I won't get the 10 core.

That sounds like a fun project. Especially since power has gotten so expensive.
But we have 14hW solar panels with batteries but the farm consumes up to 2.7kW and we have all the offices with lights and other great stuff
Is it possible to install an Intel Xeon E5-2600-v3 series processor or is that not supported at all?
Unfortunately, V3 procs are not supported. V1 and V2 are supported. Thank you. Smash that subscribe.
Do you Guys think I am to Young for server ? I am 12 years old
