Parts in the Video: - CPU = Xeon E-2378 @2.60GHz (8 Cores/16 Thread) 65w - Memory 1 = Global Memory 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC UDIMM - Memory 2 = Global Memory 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC UDIMM - PCI-E = NVIDIA GeForce 210 512MB GDDR3 - ILO Slot = iLO Enablement Kit (P13788-B21) - HDD Slot 1 = Western Digital Red 500GB SSD - HDD Slot 2 = Western Digital Red 4TB NAS Drive - HDD Slot 3 = Western Digital Red 4TB NAS Drive - HDD Slot 4 = Western Digital Red 2TB SSD - Hard Drive Caddy 2.5 to 3.5 Adaptor (HP 654540-001)
A bit more information for those of you who decide to go with E-2378. By default, CPU alone will draw more than 150W in turbo mode(stress testing). That will cause PSU protection to kick in and disable the power supply, until you disconnect it from mains power. To "fix" that, you should change turbo mode in RBSU(BIOS) to Limited Turbo Mode. That will limit the power usage and the CPU will never go over 70W. Temp in Limited Turbo Mode are 80 C after 40 minutes of OCCT stress test. I will try with 260W power supply in a week or so and might post the result here in "Max Transient Turbo Mode".
Thank you for the information. However, I do not use 'Turbo Mode' or overclock CPU on my server. This CPU is the lowest wattage. Also bear in mind that Power Supply on this MicroServer Gen10 plus server is 180w max.
@grubiat What kind of 260W power supply did you use, and what were your results? I wondered whether the power supply could be exchanged easily (it is an external one after all), and whether this would allow running the E-2378, especially with 4 HDDs also drawing power.
It can definitely handle the 8TB hdd because I've a much much older 2009 HP MediaSmart server (the original micro server predecessors) on Oracle Linux 7, and I've loaded it with 8TB hdd . And if my old 2009 HP can handle them then I'm certain your modern micro server can too. It really comes down to the OS and filesystems

How does it perform with E-2378? Power consumption and thermals ?
@@grubiat The video description did state that the CPU is 65w.
Heat sink is 71w meaning it is cool and safe. Basically very low consumption

Anyone try the 80W E-2378G CPU? Wondering if it's too much power draw or heat? (running SATA SSD's and not HDD's)

I made a video on putting 8TB on MicroServer.

I put 4 * 24TB in my Gen10 Plus, works fine as well. 😁 Increased the fan speed in the BIOS to keep them at a good temperature.
