Thread: Changed CPU's on the Server Tonight

Tweet

As many of you have witnessed over the last couple of years, the server at times has been less than stable. While this has been a problem for you all, it's been at least as big of a challenge for me getting the stupid thing going again and again at all hours....The challenge has always been that the server is remote, there are no errors/logs that indicate what the problem is, etc, so it's been a lot of hours over time trying to diagnose memory, software, raid, CPU, etc, etc, etc....

Anyways, as a last ditch effort for this particular server, I have replaced the CPU's with AMD 3rd generation quad core processors. If nothing else, it will help with performance.

All that said, I have no idea yet whether this will address the problem or not, but if I find that it doesn't solve or otherwise reduce the frequency of the problem a great deal, I will be building another server.

To all of the contributing members, you paid for the CPU's and I appreciate the contributions.

AMD is a good product and 4 core to boot nice. What kind of server runs things here just asking professional curiosity, understand if I do not receive an answer.

supermicro case, TYAN S3992-E motherboard, two 2389 quad core procs, 4gig mem, raid 5, as well as two mirror drives for daily database backups, etc.

Think he's talkin' in one of them there foreign languages or something???? My Grandparents used to talk in Norwegian when the didn't want us kids to know what was going on, I'll betcha that's what they're doing, Charlie!!!!!!!!

Seriously, don't worry about not understanding it. It's nearly meaningless nerd talk.

Heck, I thought it was some kind of foreign language and you were telling Stroker that you were going to give me the job of being the test driver for the GT 40!!!!!

Yeah Brent-the efforts are appreciated.Thank You.

I think I heard in the republican debate the other night that we should have a single language....that would have certainly reduced the confusion in this thread.

Hot roddin' the server...........................how appropriate.

BTW, I haven't received an alert email about new posts to subscribed threads in a couple days. Individual problem or others have it too?

Do let me know if others have this problem or if you do not get a mail from this thread, Bob.

Good servers we have quite a few installed at the data center here in Atlanta. This site has good hardware powering it.
